You are bidding on a 1966 Dodge Charger .383, which I have owned for several years. This car runs and drives great. I have done all of the heavy lifting, so someone simply needs to give this car some TLC to make it awesome.

The following is a summary of everything I have done to the car (I am sure I am leaving something out):

The engine has not been rebuilt, but was pulled, and had all the gaskets and seals replaced. Select parts were repainted. The engine well was sand blasted and painted. The engine runs very strong.
There are no issues with the transmission - it shifts perfectly.
I added a brake booster and dual reservoir master cylinder, so the car stops very well.
Carb, alternator, water pump, etc. have been replaced, as have all the hoses and belts. I have an extra carb. and rebuild kit that come with the car.
The car was completely rewired - new harness, wiring, etc.
All lights, instruments, etc. work great.
The instrument cluster is a Chrysler, period specific cluster, but not original to the car. It looks and works great. I do have the original that can be rebuilt, which comes with the car.
The head lamps open and close perfectly!
The carpet and headliner were replaced.
The wheels were sand blasted and repainted.
The floor pans and trunk pans have been replaced.

The following are issues that need to be addressed:

This car needs to be sand blasted and repainted. It was sandblasted down to bare metal about 5-6 years ago. I personally ensured any and all rust was replaced with new metal, with as little filler as possible. However, the paint has faded and bubbled in some areas, and there are very obvious issues with the paint (it sat outside at a Classic Car dealership in the area for a year or so).
Some of the metal has pitting, which is common. The chrome needs attention.
The tires need to be replaced before the car can be driven any significant distance.
Although I replaced all the carpet and the headliner, I have done very little to the rest of interior. The seats need re-upholstered.
The emblems are what I would consider driver quality, but could be refurbished.
The A/C does not work. I have not attempted to fix, and do not know what it would take to resolve.

In short, this car is structurally and mechanically sound. The vast majority of the issues are cosmetic, so you could drive and enjoy this car while these issues are addressed. Please feel free to contact me for more details - I am committed to a fair transaction for both myself and the buyer.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
