Fully restored, 1968 Dodge Charger General Lee replica. This is one of the nicest replicas
that you will ever see. The car was purchased in 1997 and restoration was completed in 2006. The car is also
autographed by all the surviving cast members from the show. I was lucky enough to get James Best's autograph on
there, too. The car has been converted to a 1969 Charger just like they used to do on the TV show. The bodywork is
near flawless. Both quarterpanels have been replaced. The trunk floor pans and quarter panel extensions have also
been replaced. The front floor pans have also been replaced. The car is painted using 1975 Corvette Flame Red (Code
C70) just like they used to use on the show, too. The flag, numbers, and "General Lee" text are also all painted
on. No decals here! The tail panel extension was replaced with one form a 1969 Dodge Charger, as was the front
grille. All the side marker lights, on the fenders and quarter panels, have been filled in. They used to do this on
the later episodes of the show, too. When the floor pans were off, the inside of the frame rails were sandblasted
and a rust inhibitor was also applied. Underneath the car is near perfection. The entire under carriage has been
sandblasted, primed, undercoated, painted and clear coated. The engine compartment, and underneath the hood, is
painted semi-gloss black. The entire inside of the cabin and trunk is lined with dyna mat. The trunk houses a
full-sized spare.
The car originally had a 318 motor in it, but this was replaced with a fully rebuilt 440 V-8 motor. The cylinders
were bored .030" over and the compression ratio requires the use of 93 octane. Atop the motor sits an aluminum
Edelbrock intake and a 4 barrel Holley carb. Moroso valve covers sit atop the heads. The transmission is a 3 speed
automatic that was rebuilt, too. All the gas and brake lines are stainless steel. The gas tank is brand new. The
car has manual braking with brake drums on the front and rear. The rear end had a 3.55 Auburn Gear differential
installed in 2014. This is a sure grip differential. The exhaust headers are Hooker headers that have been ceramic
coated inside and out. A 3" Flowmaster dual exhaust completes the exhaust system. The car also has the signature,
12 note dixie horn, with the horns mounted under the hood and the button hidden inside the ash tray. The car rides
on original 14x7 American Racing vector rims. The tires are all BF Goodrich Radial TAs, including the full sized
spare in the trunk. The odometer on the car has stopped working a few years ago. It needs to be repaired or
replaced. The speedometer also reads slightly higher than the actual speed. This is due to the tire size on the car
and this can be fixed by replacing the speedometer gear with a 36 tooth gear.
The interior of the car is astonishing. The front and rear seats, and front and rear lower door panels are from
Legendary Auto interiors in the Dukes of Hazzard tan color. The remaining parts of the interior was custom dyed to
match Legendary's color. The visors have all the cast members' autographs. These include autographs from Catherine
Bach, John Schneider, Tom Wopat, Ben Jones, Rick Hurst, James Best, and Sonny Shroyer. The car also comes with the
correct Radio Shack tear drop antenna and the correct cobra CB radio

Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes
Wed, 05 Jun 2013What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.
2020 Dodge Challenger celebrates 50th anniversary with a golden special edition
Wed, Nov 20 2019Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the original Dodge Challenger. And obviously Dodge wouldn't let that significant date go by without a special version of the 2020 Dodge Challenger. Meet the limited production Dodge Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition. The package is offered on the V6-powered GT with rear-wheel drive, as well as the R/T, R/T Scat Pack and R/T Scat Pack Widebody. The Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye are left out, but every 2020 example will get special 50th Anniversary badges to make up for that. On the outside, the package features a matte black hood, roof and trunk lid. V8 models get a body-color Shaker scoop. This marks the first time the Shaker scoop has been available on a Widebody Challenger. Despite having a Shaker scoop, the special edition cars also get the air intake headlights pioneered by the Hellcat, and they have a "50" printed on them to go with the other 50th Anniversary badging. All models get 20-inch wheels. These are finished in what Dodge calls "Gold School." These Challengers can be painted in one of seven colors: Frostbite, Hellraisin, Sinamon Stick, Go Mango, TorRed, F8 Green or the all-new Gold Rush. Inside the Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition are Nappa leather and Alcantara-covered seats and "Sepia" stitching and embroidery. It's all matched by carbon fiber trim with copper threads woven into it. The instrument cluster and the air vent badge are finished in the car's exterior color. Dodge will build only 70 of each model in each color as a tribute to the original car's 1970 model year. This means that there will be 490 GTs, 490 R/Ts, 490 R/T Scat Packs and 490 R/T Scat Pack Widebody models for a grand total of 1,960 cars. Each model has a different price for the 50th Anniversary package. It costs $4,995 for the GT, $5,495 for the R/T, and $5,995 for the Scat Pack models. The cars go on sale this coming spring.
The Dodge Neon is coming back... to Mexico
Tue, Mar 15 2016It's been a long time since we've seen a new Dodge Neon putt-putting around. But soon it will be back, and in North America, too, if you want to get technical about it. But this time, the Neon will be limited exclusively to Mexico. According to Ward's Auto, FCA is planning to import the Fiat Tipo to Mexico, but rebadged under the Dodge brand and with the Neon nameplate on the trunk... even if it doesn't have those signature round headlights, or a three-speed automatic transmission. Never heard of the Fiat Tipo? It debuted almost a year ago as the Aegea Project, and went into production shortly thereafter – similarly called the Egea in Turkey where it's made, but the Tipo in other European markets. It's a budget-oriented, C-segment compact with a range of four-cylinder engines, and though designed from the get-go as a four-door sedan, it rolled into Geneva last month in hatchback and wagon forms as well. The Tipo is built at the Tofas plant in Bursa, Turkey, alongside the Fiat Doblo – which is also shipped over to North America, rebadged as the Ram ProMaster City. In the Mexican market, FCA also sells the Fiat Siena sedan as the Dodge Vision, the Mitsubishi Mirage rebadged as the Dodge Attitude, and the Fiat Strada as the Ram 700 – all nameplates exclusive to our neighbors to the south. Whatever its origin, it'll be interesting to see a Neon again the next time we venture South of the Border – particularly considering that the Neon was arguably the last time that Chrysler had a competitive compact on its hands. The Caliber that followed never gained the same kind of traction, so to speak, and FCA recently ceased production (for the time being at least) of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 to focus on larger trucks crossovers – the likes of which the Caliber tried to emulate (in style, if not in substance).
