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.

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
