Up for auction a great project 1968 Dodge Charger. The car started life with a 383 HP big block and an automatic 727 transmission on the floor. This car was ordered new in an odd format. The car was originally gold with gold interior and a white vinyl top. It has factory A/C, but what I found odd is that it was ordered with a tic-toc-tac but is an automatic car. Most automatic cars that I have owned did not have the tach and would only have a clock. The car also came with a 3.23 Sure-Grip 8 3/4 rearend. So I guess the original owner wanted a pretty decent muscle car, but didn't want the additional cost of an R/T model. Either way, It was an unusual, but very nice car back in the day.
The car is solid, for the most part, with typical Charger/B-body rust in the rear. The frame rails are solid with typical wear and tear from floor jacks, curbs, etc., but I could not see any rust issues on the rails. At some point in the car's past it was wrecked on the driver side. The exterior sheet metal was replaced but you can still see signs of damage in the left front wheel well and the left rear outer wheelhouse. Besides the left fender and quarter, the door was replaced too and it opens and shuts just fine. The car was repaired like most body shops did back in the day; they did an exterior cosmetic repair and didn't bother with the rest. The car has a nice woodgrain steering wheel and I did not notice any cracks. The interior was dyed/painted red. The carpet material was glued to the floors so I am not able to peel it back without ripping it to pieces. The floors (interior & trunk) were patched at some point and they hold up fine, but should be replaced if you plan to build the car to "show quality" standards. All in all, they car would be a great start for someone who has been looking for a Charger, but do not want to spend $10k for a project. I originally purchased the car with the intensions of doing a cheap low-buck Charger build. Kind of like the guys did on the show "Roadkill" (Youtube it... it's quite interesting). I have too many other Mopar projects and decided to sell it so that maybe someone else can enjoy it. The car shows 60,568 miles. I am not sure if that is the original mileage or is it has rolled over. The car has been off the road for many years, so it could possibly be accurate. The car does not have and engine or transmission. A few other missing parts that I can think of are the passenger bucket seat, grille assembly, rear seat, rear glass, driver side quarter glass, front and rear bumpers, radio, and misc trim. What you see in the pictures, is what will go with the car. I do not have a title for the car but I do have two Bill of Sales from the previous owners. After the sell, I will assist in getting a title for the car if you are interested. Here in MS, I can apply for a title with at least two BOS. The car DOES have it's original fender tag and it decodes as followed: For MANY additional pictures of this car, I have have set up a photo album at: http://s6.photobucket.com/user/CornDog05/library/1968%20Dodge%20Charger%20RED

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop hits the pavement ahead of Detroit
Tue, 07 Jan 2014Dodge is getting ready to spread the Blacktop-themed love to the smallest member of its lineup. Last year, the automaker offered up Blacktop versions of the Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey. And now the Dart, too, gets its dark on for 2014, with the $295 package offered on Dart SXT models equipped with the Rallye Appearance Group. The Dart Blacktop will make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week.
As with the other Blacktop special-edition models, the Dart Blacktop gets glossy black accents for a "sporty, sinister look." The blacked-out treatment spreads across the 18-inch wheels to the crosshair grille, grille surround and headlamp bezels. The interior sees a similar treatment, with black and light tungsten or black and ruby red cloth to go with red accent stitching on the instrument panel, center console and seat bolsters.
For the 2014 model year, all Dart SXT and Limited models receive the 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark engine with 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, and since the Blacktop is based on the SXT, that's the powerplant buyers of this special-edition will get, too. Expect the 2014 Dart Blacktop to hit dealers in the first quarter, and while you're waiting, feel free to read more in the official press release below.
Dodge Viper returning to Le Mans this year?
Mon, Jan 5 2015If you were among the fans disappointed by Chrysler's recent decision to end the Dodge Viper's racing program, we may have some good news for you, as the racing outfit behind the campaign is reportedly working to bring the American supercars back to Le Mans this year. That racing outfit is Riley Technologies, a constructor perhaps best known for its Daytona Prototypes, but it has also prepared its share of GT racers, too. Chrysler charged Riley with leading its racing program for the new Viper GTS-R, campaigned it in the United SportsCar Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Auburn Hills made the unfortunate decision back in March to pull its Vipers out of Le Mans, and then in October to withdraw from the US series, as well, thereby effectively ending the program altogether. Disappointed though it surely was, Riley remains defiant. The North Carolina-based company is planning on taking the existing Vipers back to Le Mans on its own, with or without factory support. The Viper has, after all, proven a capable machine, having taken both the drivers' and teams' titles in the United SportsCar Championship this past season. "With Le Mans, every driver and every manufacturer needs to have their first trip there, and it isn't always what you want it to be, but we did show reliability and did have some pace," Bill Riley told Racer.com. "Since then, we've worked hard on the cars, they're now strong, front-running cars in the US, and we're working with the ACO on the BoP to make sure the cars are strong at Le Mans. They're super-reliable and fast, and we'd expect to be right in the mix with the other cars." Riley has kept the existing support staff in place, and once it secures its driver lineup and sponsors, chances look good that it could represent America well at Le Mans this year in either the GTE Pro or GTE Am class. Its predecessor did, after all, complete a three-year winning streak that saw it dominate the GTS class right up until its withdrawal in 2000.

Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
