Up for bids is my 1968 Dodge Charger. This car is pretty much original, never been cut up or molested. Still wears all it's original sheetmetal as far as i know. The car is triple green, and the engine is original to the car. 383 2 barrel, and is still in that configuration. The car had one respray in the 80's, and it's showing it's age. The car has sat mostly since the early 90's, and could made into a daily driver very easily, or could be a good resto project .While i did go on a 5 mile journey in it recently, and it actually drove really nice, the carb is a little tired and could stand a kit being put in it. The body is WAY better than most charger projects out there. It has a mint grill, mint hood, the fenders are very nice, no rust, one ding in front passenger as shown in pic. The doors are fantastic with no rust, as are the rockers. The quarters are 90% there, could get by with some patching. The driver's side back towards the bery back has some bondo fro a dent in it's past that was repaired. It's above the middle belt line, not down low. The tail panel and rear valance are in great shape, and these are normally nonexistant on a 46 year old charger. There is a small spot on one of the valance corners. The back window lower corner area that is prone to rust is pretty awesome on this car. The worst area on this car is the roof. There is quite a bit of pimpling under the original vinyl top, and if you are going to replace and put a new vinyl top, then the roof can be fixed and then a new top put on. If you are planning on a non vinyl top when redoing, it may warrant a skin. The trunk is good on the extensions, could use a center trunk pan. The floors are in great shape, as are frame rails front to back. There was one small rust spot by the gas pedal(driver's front) that was replaced with metal 20 years ago, otherwise floors are mint. Gas gauge and speedo work, oil and temp do not. Factory A/C car, not currently working. I do have the AM thumbwheel radio for the car. Interior is very presentable for a driver, could use carpet, upper dash pad and headliner. Fender tag is present as well as the build sheet. As you have read, this is an excellent hard to find solid unmolested project car that you can drive as you make better. These kinds of chargers are the hardest to find. People nowadays want $50k for a restored 383 charger, or they want 10k for rustbucket project cars. It's hard to find a good one that just needs some TLC. You will not find a better project car for the money. I am listing the car NO RESERVE so high bidder owns it. That being said, PLEASE SERIOUS bidders only. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time for any reason, as car is for sale locally. Please feel free to ask with any questions. I do have a clear Tennessee title in hand. Thanks for looking and good luck! |

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022
Thu, Feb 10 2022For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.
New Barracuda, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk coming soon
Wed, Aug 26 2015As we write this, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a major dealership event in sunny Las Vegas. New vehicles are being announced, redesigned offerings are being teased, and promises are being made to the sprawling company's dealer body. And, as all these announcements are meant to be tip-top secret, they're leaking out left, right, and center. Naturally. FCA is telling its dealers all of the vehicles shown at the Vegas gala will be in showrooms within 12 to 24 months, and that the product offensive will include at least 30 new or significantly refreshed models. Some of those we've known about since FCA boss Sergio Marchionne unveiled his highly ambitious five-year plan in May 2014, while we're hearing about others for the very first time. We've reached out to our sources within FCA, and will update this post as we learn more. It should be noted that while we've tried to rely on concrete sources or corroborations from multiple sources, some of the news here comes from people claiming to have been in attendance and posting in forums like Allpar and Jalopnik's Opposite Lock. Unless corroborated by a mainstream source or confirmed by our own sources within FCA, we're listing each item that comes from a forum. Have those grains of salt at the ready. Chrysler Dodge Durango-sized SUV with stow-and-go was shown. A poster on Allpar Forums claims it had a Durango's interior. New Aspen? Town and Country PHEV confirmed (again). A plug-in minivan was originally announced as part of five-year plan. No news on 200 or 300. Dodge The redesigned Charger will use the Alfa Romeo Giulia's rear-drive platform and, according Automotive News, draw inspiration from 1999's Charger concept car. We're wagering the 24-month time frame specified to dealers will move the new sedan's arrival up from 2018 to mid-2017. Jalopnik's Opposite Lock claims two new Challenger models are coming. Challenger ADR (American Drag Racer) and T/A. ADR should appeal to bracket racers and is more powerful than the SRT Hellcat, while T/A is for track rats, just like Viper T/A. Automotive News claims the legendary Barracuda nameplate will be revived as a Dodge. The Barracuda will be smaller than Challenger, offered as both a coupe and a convertible. Allpar claims it will feature modern styling. A Dodge Durango SRT was announced with 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and rear-drive. Sources within FCA confirmed its arrival with Autoblog. Apparently, dealers were shown an example in B5 Blue.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
