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.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns

Wed, May 4 2016

These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
