1978 Dodge Magnum GT Coupe

 

Offered for sale, this very rare 1978 Dodge Magnum GT.  A true GT, even though the side emblems show XE (they all started as XE's). The original fender flares, aluminum dash and other features were only found and installed on the GT model.  This magnum looks a bit tired and frumpy, but overall is in fair/good shape.  It is straight, solid and with no apparent body damage.  The paint is tired and does not shine anymore, and is faded and deteriorated somewhat on the hood and trunk as well as the flares (the previous owner had the car in Texas).  There are some rust issues - mostly surface discoloration - but there are a couple of small holes on the floor pans (behind the driver seat).  The worst is on the underneath of the trunk lid near the edge at the bottom (doesn't look too nice).  The t-tops are in great shape, so is the glass and the windshield.  The bumpers are straight and shinny and are in good shape.  All the trim, stainless and aluminum, etc. is in very good shape and is straight and does not show any damage.  the rear lenses are in very nice condition and the front lenses are fair/good condition, they should/could be buffed up.  The wheels are fair, but show some rust here and there (two of the original wheels are in the trunk along with the bumpers guards).  The tires are so-so (show some slight dry rot and/or wear).  The interior is in fair to good condition.  The dash and instrument panel, steering wheel, etc. are in nice condition (there are a few small cracks on the dash pad).  The door panels, hard vinyl panels, etc. are in fair to nice condition, and are all there.  The seats are in fair to good shape except for the driver seat, which should either be repaired and/or reupholstered.  A set of seat covers might be good enough.  The carpet will need to be replaced (it was removed by the previous owner).  The 360 V8 engine starts, runs and sounds as it should.  The car does drive ok on short distance drives or while moving it around (I have not driven it for any distance or on the highway).  The brakes feel rather soft.  I would highly recommend that the car be shipped or trailered to its new destination.  Overall this is a car well worth restoring, way too nice and complete to be used only as a parts car.  The car is attractively priced with a low/reasonable reserve.

These B Body Magnums are truly a collector car since they were only manufactured for two years (1978 and 1979).  I had purchased this GT because of its rarity and also as a spare for my other 1978 Dodge Magnum 2Dr Coupe XE which is in remarkable and excellent original condition with only 36,500 miles.  This Magnum XE is also for sale as well as many extra parts (exterior trimwork, extra tail lights, interior hard vinyl panels and trim, etc., etc.) that I had aquired to have as replacement parts on hand for these rare cars.  The Magnum XE and the extra parts are not a part of this aucton, but are available for purchase upon inquiry.

Please note this car will be sold on a Bill of Sale only.  A $520 deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal with the remainder of the balance due via Bank Wire or cash in person upon pick up.  The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. Car is sold as-is and sale is final.  Thanks for looking!

Watch the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat verify its 204-mph top speed

Thu, Jan 29 2015

The industry is producing some ridiculously fast four-doors these days, from the Porsche Panamera and Maserati Quattroporte to the Mercedes E63 AMG and BMW M5. But the fastest of them all doesn't cost six figures. It doesn't even come from Europe. It's made right here in North America, by a US automaker. And it starts at under $64k. We're talking about the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, the Pentastar muscle sedan with the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and its 707 horsepower. Dodge claims it's the "quickest, fastest, most powerful [production] sedan ever," and they're not just blowing smoke... or smoking tires. During the final stages of development, engineers from Auburn Hills took a bone-stock, Hellcat-powered Charger out to a seven-mile oval for a top speed run and they filmed the occasion for posterity. The result? 206.9 miles per hour with the wind, 202.2 against it, for a two-way average top speed of 204.55 mph. Chew on that, imports.

Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.
