If you are looking for a beautiful original 69 Dart Swinger 340, I have the one for you. This car had been stored for 12 or so years before I purchased it from a collector. I have owned the car for about two years now. It has not been restored, but has been repainted at least once sometime in the past. Since I got it, I have done many cosmetic and mechanical improvements on it to get it to the condition it is currently in. However, no body work of any kind has been done on the car. Upgrades from stock are an Edelbrock Performance Series Carb, a Rev-n-ator Electronic ignition box, a Dodge Wood Grain Steering Wheel and an aftermarket radio with casette player which was installed back in the day. I have the original carb and steering wheel which will be included. The car is numbers matching engine, transmission and rear end, a 3:55 positraction unit. The pictures show what the conditon is. Excellent. There is one minor dent in the trunk lid, which I attempted to photograph. You have to look at it from just the right angle to even pick it up, but it is there. I do not have documentation to verify the mileage not do I have the broadcast sheet, but there are many indicators in regard to wear that tell me that it is pretty close if not right on. In addition, the fender tag and other stampings are in order. This is by far the best running and driving A body mopar that I have owned, it is fun to drive and a great performer, especially with the installation of the hot firing Rev-N-ator box. The addition of electronic ignition makes a great improvement in performance and the new carb gets much better gas mileage as long as you aren't in the back barrels. There are two other minor fixes needed that I am aware of. One, the heater motor is noisy and the defrost tube to the driver's side is missing. That's all I know of. I purchased a new blower motor for the heater just in case, but it has not been installed, but will be included. I don't have a defrost hose however. This car is just a real pleasure to drive and it really is a sharp looker. Exhaust mufflers are new, new leaf springs were installed, front end parts replaced, brakes gone through. Whatever it has needed it has gotten, even a couple of outer trim pieces that were already good but not excellent have been replaced. You will not be disappointed with this car in any way if you choose to be the new owner. The reserve is reasonable, far less than I have invested in this beauty. I would like it to go to someone who will preserve it's originality and enjoy it as much as I have.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
