1968 Charger 383 automatic, power window car, A/C,

I have this car in bare metal so you'll know exactly what you're buying beforehand.  Rust and major damage has been repaired, and is ready for filler, primer and paint.  Please contact me prior to delivery about epoxy priming the vehicle if you feel it is necessary.  There is low mileage on the rebuilds of both the transmission and the engine.  Runs, but the old dual point Mallory distributor needs points, and a tune up.   The engine sounds very strong, and I can tell it has a mild cam in it. 

What I've tried to accomplish here, is to do all the work that the average car enthusiast doesn't know how to do - ie: sheet metal work, and let you take it from there.  If you want me to take the car even further, I am certainly capable of any level of restoration that you desire.  I can provide examples of past vehicles for your review.

The right side quarter panel was replaced, by me, in a sympathetic manner. I don’t butcher sheet metal work! Every effort was taken to minimize distortion, maximize OEM appearance, and quality.  I also replaced the panel below the rear bumper, and each corner piece.  The left side quarter panel only needed small rust patches.  The floor and subframe are in perfect condition, except for one patch I made in the driver’s side foot well.  Prior to my ownership, the trunk floor had been replaced.  The quality of the installation of the trunk floor is not as good as the metal work I did, but it is good enough for a driver.  If you want me to replace the trunk floor in an OEM fashion the way the rest of the sheet metal is done, contact me for pricing.   I don’t mind doing it before the car is delivered. 

Fender tag and build sheet are not with the car.  I have spoken with a previous owner, and he put them in a “safe place” and can’t remember where they are.  It is an original 383 VIN, and was quite obviously an A/C and power window car. I do have the history of 3 previous owners of the car if it is important to you.

The car is mostly complete.  A few boxes of parts, one extra door, and one extra deck lid come with the car.  However, essentially, what you see is what you get.  I have no keys for it, so you'll need a locksmith to make a set for it. Car comes with clear Utah title.

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Work at a Chrysler dealership, get free college education

Mon, May 4 2015

The cost of a college education in the US can put a student tens (hundreds, in some cases) of thousands of dollars into debt. FCA US wants to give its dealership employees a leg up, though, and the automaker is now offering a completely free education to them through a partnership with Strayer University. The workers can take any of the college's classes online or on campus through program called Degrees@Work. Currently, the offer is only available to employees Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat dealers in the automaker's Southeast region, which includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. However, a national expansion will happen before the end of the year, Strayer spokesperson Cristina Henley tells Autoblog. The program will cover all of the students' expenses, including their books, according to Henley. FCA US sees this partnership as a way to improve the talent of its workforce, retain employees longer and possibly attract people wanting to take advantage of this free education. "Many of our dealers have expressed concern over the availability of talent to fill open positions due to business growth and turnover in their stores, especially in metro markets," Al Gardner, the company's Head of Dealer Network Development, said in the Degrees@Work announcement. Strayer has about 40 programs available, including in business administration, accounting, marketing, and more, and the university offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. It will also give FCA US employees credit for their work experience to get them a diploma even more quickly. FCA US Dealers to Offer Employees No-Cost, No-Debt College Education FCA US teams with Strayer University to develop first-of-its-kind dealer program Degrees@Work program open to all employees of participating dealerships Employees can earn no-cost, no-debt degree through Strayer University All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships may participate First phase of program rollout begins with dealers in the FCA US Southeast Business Center National rollout expected later this year May 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Employees of Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships will have the unique opportunity to earn a no-cost, no-debt college degree through Strayer University's Degrees@Work program, developed in collaboration with FCA US LLC. FCA US is the only company in the automotive industry to offer the program.
