Hello all I have for sale here a NICE 1972 4 door dodge dart custom with a clear title in my name. It is currently registered and insured and driven often. So the mileage will change by the time you see it, but right now it is at 84,752 original miles.  I think I am the second owner of this car.  It came from Temple city, California literally from a little old lady that obviously kept it, at minimum, under a carport its whole life, if not garaged.

Here is a video I did of the car after I had the A/C installed and the paint buffed out, but before I put the Cragars on.

I have done extensive work on this car and spent way more than I originally intended, but it has turned out very nice and is my daily driver. It is very civilized and drives very very good. If you drive mellow you can get up to 20 mpg. If you are doing 80 all day it will be more like 16 due to the lower gearing. It pulls really good and has no problem keeping up with traffic and being that it has modern A/C you won't die in summer bumper to bumper either.

This is truly a jump in a drive car that can go right now.

Engine: 225 Slant 6
Transmission: 904 automatic Column shift
Everything I mention below is at max a year old.
The Engine, Drive-train and Interior upgrades include:
Clifford Intake manifold with Weber Carburetor / still have the original intake
Clifford 2 piece headers that feed into dual 2 1/4 Magnaflow turned down at the axle / still have original exhaust
Pertronix electronic ignition/easily converted back to points if you wish
New Alternator
Aluminum Radiator with dual electric fans(one pusher and one puller)
Complete after market A/C system from Classicautoair.com/still have original working heater box.
There are new gaskets all over the engine. Nothing drips or leaks.
New radiator and power steering(just the high pressure side) hoses.
New brake booster and master cylinder/ still have the original
New KYB shocks on all 4 corners
Added a front sway bar and OMG! what a difference it has made, the car turns like it is on rails
Brand new Leaf Springs in back, with shackles to raise or lower the rear
The drive shaft has been balanced and new u joints
Rear seal on the Transmission replaced at this time.
New timing cover Gasket
Tires are still excellent 195 series, the car will easily take up to 215's on all 4
Rims are vintage 80's Cragars on a 5x4 bolt pattern, these are hard to find in such good condition. The lug nuts are even harder to find.
I have the car lowered a little in the front and rear but since it has adjustable torsion bars in front and adjustable shackles in the rear you can easily change the height to suit you with a jack and basic hand tools. No spring cutting necessary.
Bushings and tie rods up front are new. 
Steering box is new and the alignment done.
On the inside you will find new carpet, new headliner, new steering wheel/have the original, nice used bucket seats from an intrepid/have the original bench seat. A complete Kenwood sound system and M T X sub woofer/I have the original but not sure if it works. It sounds very nice. It also has usb and aux for use with smart devices as well as blue tooth for phone.
All lights wipers blinkers and switches work perfect. Head light switch comes off when you pull it but you can still easily turn on the headlights.
The tint on the car is limo all around. It is great for hot summer days and makes the car look killer.

The only things on the car that I would say it needs are;
Dash: has a bad crack right in the middle but has a dash cover on it now.
Body: Has some very minor scrapes that I have tried to depict in the pictures. I love the color of the car and I like the patina that the paint shows and actually the paint is in very good shape for it's age. Also I have the trim piece for the front right fender sitting in the trunk.
The front end is still a little tight from all the new stuff but is starting to loosen up.  I have it lubed every couple of months.

There is absolutely zero rust on the car. When I put the carpet in a couple of months ago I was amazed! The floor of the car looks literally factory brand new. The trunk is the same. Drip rails and windows also the same.

Shipping:
I can deliver the car to a shipper arranged by the buyer if it is within 20 miles of 91107, otherwise it is the responsibility of the buyer to pick up in Pasadena, CA.

Payment:
I will need to be paid in full with in 5 days of the end of the auction and of course before I turn over the car to you.

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.

Dodge Journey gets new $24,895* SE V6 AWD model

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

While the Dodge Journey crossover remains largely unchanged for the 2014 model year, there are two new flavors of the seven-passenger CUV on offer: the butch-looking Crossroad, and the SE V6 AWD, pictured right, which makes its debut today. As its name suggests, this new Journey model features the automaker's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, and offers all-wheel drive, which, with a starting price of $24,895 (*excluding $995 for destination), reduces the cost-of-entry for an AWD-equipped Journey by $1,800 versus the SXT AWD model.
