1966 Dodge Monaco Sedan - Newly Rebuilt Engine and Transmission Up for auction is a 1966 Dodge Monaco sedan. It has a 383 V-8 with an A727 Torqueflite transmission. Each area of the car is described in detail below. Please look at the pictures: if you need pictures of something specific, please ask. Engine The engine was professionally rebuilt by Eddings Engine in San Fernando at a cost of more than $2000, and has less than 30 miles on it. The engine was bored .30 over with new pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft, timing set, and expansion/core plugs. The heads were also professionally rebuilt by Sylmar Head Exchange with new valves, valve guides, springs, and seals. Once I got the heads and engine back, I put in all new parts: new lifters, pushrods, rocker arm shaft, and rocker arms, oil pump, and oil pump drive. Everything but the heads was painted in Chrysler Turquoise. The intake manifold, timing chain cover, oil pan, and valve covers were cleaned and painted. All new Fel Pro gaskets and seals were used on everything. The alternator, water pump, and fan clutch are new. The starter is new. The power steering pump is original, but works well. All belts and hoses are new. The radiator was professionally cleaned and painted by The Radiator Works in Northridge. Most of the bolts used to attach various parts to the engine (water pump housing, intake manifold, etc.) are new reproduction. I installed a correct set of reproduction plug wire routing brackets. The motor mounts are new. Of course, all fluids are new. The distributor, cap, plugs, and plug wires are new. I converted the points to a Pertronix Ignitor II with a Flamethrower coil. The engine starts right up and runs well, with no leaks, smoke, odd noises, or any other problems. Fuel The 2-barrel Stromberg WWC carburetor was professionally rebuilt by Carbs Only in Burbank. The fuel pump is new. I replaced all rubber sections of the fuel line from the fuel pump back to the tank. The tank was professionally cleaned and painted by The Radiator Works in Burbank. I installed a new sending unit, lock ring, and gasket. There is a new gas cap and a new "donut" seal between the filler pipe and the tank. The tank straps are in good shape. There are no fuel leaks. Transmission/Drivetrain The transmission was professionally rebuilt by Victor Transmission in San Fernando at a cost of about $900. The transmission cooler lines are new. The universal joints, at both the transmission and differential end, are new. The rear differential has not been touched: it doesn't make any noises, but it does have a small drip from the flange seal after the car is driven. The transmission pan has a small leak from the pan gasket: the rebuilder used a cork gasket, and it should probably be replaced by a rubber gasket with sealer. It's annoying, but an easy fix. The transmission shifts very well and does not "bang" into gear. Suspension/Brakes All front brake parts are new. I converted the front drums to front discs using the kit from Scarebird. All new rotors, pads, calipers, hoses, and other parts were used. I had to convert the wheels to 15", so I bought new 15" wheels and Cooper 15" white-stripe tires. The tires have less than 30 miles on them. I also had to replace the original 14" hubcaps with some 15" hubcaps: they are from a '67 or '68 Polara, but are in fantastic shape and look good. The original hubcaps will come with the car. The rear brakes are all new except for the drums (which are hard to find). The drums were in good shape so they were just cleaned up. I also installed a new master cylinder and power booster, and installed new brake lines where necessary. The brakes stop very well. The front suspension is mostly new: all control arm bushings, shocks, sway bar bushings, strut bushings, ball joints, tie rods, rubber bumpers, and idler arm. The Pitman arm and steering box have not been touched, but the car steers well. It will need a front-end alignment. The rear springs, bushings, and hangers are new: I replaced the sagging original 5-leaf springs with new 7-leaf springs. The rear shocks are new. Interior/Electrical There are some bulbs in the taillight and turn signals that need to be replaced, but the brake light and turn signals work. All gauges work. The radio works after it warms up: this car has the two-speaker AM radio, with a knob you use to balance sound between the front and rear speaker. Some interior lights work, some do not: I think some of the bulbs are burned out. It probably needs a new headlight switch. The headlight switch turns the headlights on and off fine, but its dimmer function doesn't work. I lubed the speedometer cable, and it doesn't make any noise, but the speedometer needle sways a little at speed. The car was originally equipped with AC, but before I got the car, someone had taken most of the AC components. I have the compressor and some other parts, and they will come with the car. The blower motor doesn't work. All windows go up and down fine, and the vent windows work. All locks work fine. The doors open and close well, except for the driver's door, which has to be slammed to close properly. The front and rear seats will need to be reupholstered. The carpet is OK, but should be replaced. The door panels are OK, but should be refurbished. I took the rear door panels off to do some lubrication, but they will come with the car. The dash pad is cracked and faded and should be replaced. The steering wheel has some cracking and should be refurbished, but the horn works great. The headliner is perfect. The weatherstripping throughout the car needs to be replaced. Body The car was repainted at some point by a previous owner: it was a cheap job, but it seems to have prevented rust. The car has no rust through at all. The floor pan, trunk pan, and underbody are rust free. There is surface rust on the driver's-side rear door, and some small areas of surface rust on other parts of the body, but absolutely no rot. This car has been in California its whole life, as shown by the original Certicard in the engine compartment. There bumpers are in OK shape: they could be polished, but should probably be re-chromed. The chrome trim is in good shape: the only exception is the front part of the driver's-side trim, which is missing because of a small dent in the front fender. There are dents in the rear left quarter panel and one of the front fenders. There are also dents in the right-side rocker panel. Other than that, the body is good and straight. The glass is free of cracks and in good shape. I will include some trim and lenses for the rear taillights, which are a one-year design and very hard to find parts for. I've described the car as honestly as I can, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. |

2015 Dodge Charger configurator opens up shop
Thu, Dec 11 2014Itching to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Charger? Your day is almost nigh, my friend While you're waiting, you can spec out how you'd want your muscle sedan to look as Dodge has included the revised four-door in its online configuration tool. Though it's not the most impressive or interactive of configurators we've seen, the site lets you choose any color you want (from the limited array available anyway) along with all the key options packages and such. First you'll need to choose a trim level though, but we're afraid the Hellcat version isn't part of this site, and the SRT site hasn't launched a configurator yet for the world's fastest production sedan, so you'll have to choose between SE, SXT and R/T trim levels.

2014 Dodge Durango leaks ahead of NY rollout
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Even though Chrysler will reportedly discontinue the Dodge Durango after the current model's lifespan - said to be around 2016 - that isn't stopping the automaker from improving its full-size, three-row SUV. The vehicle won't debut at the New York Auto Show until tomorrow, but images are already leaking out ahead of the embargo lift, and they show that the 2014 model is getting even more aggressive styling to go with more technology inside and out.
Dodge limited its early press shots of the new Durango to just the R/T trim level, but this new look adds a meaner look to this model with more dramatic projector-beam headlights along with a "floating" crosshair grille and a restyled fascia. At the rear of the Durango, LED racetrack taillights show a family resemblance to the Charger and Dart, while a new rear fascia adds to the styling while also allowing for an integrated trailer hitch.
On the tech side, the instrument panel looks to have been redesigned to include a standard seven-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) gauge cluster, and it also appears as if Chrysler's well-liked UConnect system has been updated with the 8.4-inch touchscreen found in other Chrysler vehicles. The 2013 model's conventional console shifter has been replaced by a rotary knob for gear selection, suggesting that there are transmission changes afoot as well. We'll have more details when the silks slide off this big boy tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set
Tue, Jul 19 2022Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
