Hello
we have grandmas ( for real my grandma I am 47 now) dodge dart with 36 k miles. it is in really good shape generally. it has been stored for 20 years. it has a slant 6 auto with airconditioning. two door blue metallic . all complete. has some Only rust on rear lower quarters . Car is not a rusty car. Not your typical Illinois car! garage most of its life. Underneath looks really good , it was heavily undercoated so the lines exhaust system all looks good. the tail pipe after muffler needs to be replaced. This car can run and drive rather easily. Engine is free never froze. radiater was still green. There are like new tires smaller in height then original. We did have the torsion bar changed as it broke when grandpa had it. This is a light restore needed. vinyl top is cracked and a couple of seams are split on seats but all original and really nice. all four windows move great , no body damage otther then rust on bottom of rear fenders. I had ran this car while in the garage ten years ago to pull up on trailer to move to 2nd home, but the gas had gone bad. carb has all new parts but will need to be set up correctly to run. This car was running and driving fine when Grandpa passed and Grandma couldnt drive anymore. Still has the chicago stickers on the windows. i think from the 90s will have to look again. You wont find a nicer original Dart swinger for this price here in chicagoland. This car has been sitting stored for a long time. Gas went bad will need a tuneup to get going. I did put a new starter in it to make sure it turned over and it wants to start but needs carb set properly . But I drove it last so I know it will run and drive well. Its a slant six it of course it will! best engine they ever made. It has four new tires on it ,not the original type but perfect to use/move the car. Original rims and caps. This car is garage found fresh and complete! Paint is good with exception of trunk lid was repainted poorly but original paint is still underneath. Front left corner has some lifting on very top corner may have had some minor work there. there are door dings and scratches typical for its age and original unmolested condition. Truly a grandmas car.
Will not take much to get it on road. I suspect an evening of someone that knows how to set the float and tune and it will pur like it did when I moved it from Chicago to Libertyville 8 years ago.
Here is the history..
I bought thier house after Grandma passed 8 years ago and this was in the garge in chicago. I gave it to my son as he is turning 16 but he has his eyes on my dodge truck . if he can sell this I will let him have mine. Very good looking car! and with the new models out now , its only gonna jump up in price like the camaros etc did. willing to take trades 4x4 trucks,Dodge ram 4x4 pickup( is what my kid wants) Great investment! This will only go up in value not down like most things! Keep that in mind!
prefer cash. thankyou pics to come soon
This is over 40 years old and a classic in very good shape for its age and location. I have had many good offers but they did not spark our interest enough. If its a trade it will have to be something that is equal in value. No rust buckets or crazy high miles. must be a decent good condition running/looking 4x4 extended cab Dodge Ram pickup. 360 or maybe 318.
We do reserve the right to end this auction early as it is advertised locally. If someone comes up with a nice red,black 99 and up Dodge ram 1500,2500 ext cab 4x4 it will be gone. I have the original clear title.
again this is all original all numbers matching been in our family I think for its entire life, just seen pics of it new with proud grandpa and my father next to it. both R.I.P Dodge lives on!
STARTING BID .99 CENTS NO RESERVE BID TO WIN!!!
Ask all questions before you bid or buy. This beautiful storage fresh car will need to be trailered it is not a daily driver but certainly was and could be easily. This was a Chicago car in the city so doesn't have a lot of miles we lived up here and they only drove out twice as that was TOO far to drive for them. There is no warranty it is being sold honestly and with all good intentions from our family as is as shown. don't pass it up you wont be disappointed and you have a great chance to get this car at a great price. Bid to win. Questions welcomed. Do not expect to work on it in my driveway .Send a flatbed or rent a trailer for 50 bucks from uhaul . It does move freely and everthing seems to work. Just needs a little tlc to get it started. Garage was dry .More pics to come when the the snow is gone. thank you

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln
Sat, 26 Jul 2014
Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average
Wed, Oct 15 2014What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen. That means Fiat Chrysler will likely to continue to languish at the bottom of the heap when it comes to fleetwide fuel economy among the largest automakers serving the US, especially as the automaker starts to sell its Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A few hundred Fiat 500E electric vehicles aren't going to turn the trend around. See, Chrysler has once again finished at the bottom of the list when it came to fleetwide fuel economy among automakers for 2014 model-year vehicles, according to a preliminary study by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Chrysler and Fiat had an average of 21.1 miles per gallon. That substantially lagged the overall 24.2 mpg average, but it was an increase from the company's 20.9 mpg average last year and the 20.1 mpg average two years prior. For 2014, General Motors had the second-worst fleetwide fuel economy at an even 22 mpg. Fiat Chrysler does say it's working on improving its fuel economy, according to Automotive News. The company plans on making its inline-four-cylinder and V6 engines smaller, and will sell more vehicles with eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Heck, there's even a plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan in the works for late 2015, and the company can tout fuel-efficiency gains with the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee. We would be remiss if we didn't note that, compared to its muscle-car forefathers, the Hellcat actually performs pretty well at the pump. Last month, word got out that the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, equipped either with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, got a combined fuel economy of 16 mpg. Heck, the automatic-tranny version got 22 mpg on the highway. And that's for a car with 707 horsepower and a 10-second quarter-mile time. Still, with the pedal floored, the car can burn a gallon and a half of fuel per minute. Ouch.
Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.
