1975 Dodge Dart Swinger, 2-door, 318 V-8, Automatic on 2040-cars
Lakewood, California, United States
1975 Dodge Dart Swinger, 2 door. 318 V-8, Auto trans, 8 1/4 rear with 2.45 gears. Power steering, power disc brakes. Completely rebuilt front suspension. Car is nice.
Car is pre-smog. No smog checks needed ever so you can modify anything you want under the hood. This car drives really nice and I would drive it anywhere and have driven it everywhere. 300 mile round trips from Lakewood, CA. to Tehachapi and back with no problems. 250 mile round trip to Santa Barbara and back with zero problems. Countless trips to Hemet to visit family with zero defects. This is a great driving car. Under the hood is a V-8, 318-2 barrell with electronic ignition. Engine is completely stock. Did an oil change about a month ago with 20w50 oil. Runs perfect. Carb has been professionally rebuilt and works great. Choke on 2 barrell carb works perfect on cold mornings. Car idles and runs great. Automatic transmission. Just had transmission serviced with new filter and fluid and adjusted the bands about 2 months ago. The 8 1/4 rear with 2.45 gears is like having an overdrive. Car cruises at 75mph on the freeway all day long at low rpm because of rear gear ratio. Car has power steering and power disc brakes that work great. The front suspension has been completely rebuilt and aligned. The heater works great. Blows very hot. All gauges work. All lights work. Wipers work. Everything works. Car has new carpet and new seats front and rear. Upholstery is new on all seats. Door panels and armrests are in great shape. I converted the car from a white and brown interior to an all black interior with new kick panels and door uppers too and it looks really good. Even has a new dash pad in it. I added a Pioneer stereo, AM/FM with CD player and plug in for ipod to play through. Plus 4 new Speakers, 6 x 9's in rear and 5 inch speakers in front. Has 15 inch Crager wheels with very good tires. 2 1/4 inch dual exhaust with Thrush mufflers. Not loud at all but you won't mistake it for a slant six either. Car sounds nice like a cruiser should. Entire trunk has been sprayed with Rhino Liner truck bed liner to protect it from rust. The trunk is very solid. All in all this is a great car. It could use a repaint. It was painted 7 years ago and has been outside it's whole life, but the body is really straight and it would be easy work. I am only selling the car because my wife wants a car with A/C before this summer gets here and this car will be my down payment once I sell it. I really hate to part with it because it is such a good driving car but I have to. Hopefully someone will buy it and take good care of it and enjoy it as much as I have. Please send me a message if you have any questions, Mike. |

Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple
Mon, 07 Apr 2014The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
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.
Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty
Mon, Jan 26 2015Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.
