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. |

Dodge Challenger outsold Mustang, Camaro in third quarter of 2019
Fri, Oct 4 2019The Dodge Challenger is nearly old enough to start driver's ed in some states, and it doesn't have a firm grasp on the increasingly crucial concept of downsizing, yet it beat the odds to become the most popular American two-door model during the third quarter of 2019. Its ballooning sales figures suggest buyers don't always want the latest, most advanced car they can get their hands on. Dodge sold 18,031 examples of the Challenger during the third quarter of 2019, a shocking 21% increase over the same period in 2018. It's a true muscle car, normally sardined in the same can as the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang, a pair of smaller, nimbler two-doors that are much closer to the historic definition of a pony car. Semantics aside, the Mustang finished on the second spot of the sales podium with 16,823 sales, a 12.3% drop compared to the third quarter of 2018, and the Camaro took third with 12,275 sales, a 15% dip that alarmingly comes in the wake of two redesigns. More specific sales figures aren't available. We don't know what percentage of the sales mix V8s represent, or whether buyers prefer manual or automatic transmissions. The scoreboard looks different when we examine 2019's year-to-date figures. The Mustang takes first place with 55,365 sales, followed by the Challenger at 46,699, and the Camaro at 36,791. While the Challenger's recent ascent is encouraging, it can't mask the fact that two-door models no longer enjoy a favorable tailwind, and the entire segment — not just the American entries — is declining. The aforementioned year-to-date figures are down by 10.1, 11, and 7.6 percent, respectively. The third-quarter statistics revealed a handful of other surprises unrelated to the world of performance. Dodge notably sold three examples of the Dart, a sedan it hasn't built since 2016. That's a 93% drop compared to the 45 units that found a home during the third quarter of 2018.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
