Custom built 1968 Dodge Charger. The previous owner, after watching an episode of the Dukes Boys in which the
General Lee was turned into a 4x4 to chase some Jeeps decided he wanted a 4x4 General Lee of his own. So he found
a Charger body that was missing its floor....as well as a few other items and grafted it to a 2000 Dodge Durango
4x4 complete floor pan, frame, firewall, all running gear, seats and digital dash. The donor vehicle has fuel
injected engine, abs brakes, disc front brakes, air bags, cruise, tilt wheel, a/c, heat, 7in monitor with
cd/dvd/backup camera capabilities,Bluetooth capabilities and 10" subs with 750 watt amp. The tires are Dune
Grappler tires ordered straight from Nitto and a brand new extra tire in trunk. Engine is a 4.7 V/8 Auto
transmission.
The ending result is the style of a classic car, but the drivability and comforts of a new one!
It is autographed (and cleared over) on the trunk lid by Bo(John Schneider), Luke(Tom Wopat), Daisy(Catherine
Bach), James Best(Sheriff Rosco), Sonny Shroyer(Enos Strate), Rick Hurst(Cletus) and Ben Jones(Cooter). The car
also comes with a compound bow with fake sticks of dynamite is also signed by Tom Wopat and John Schneider.
Since I have owned the car I have gone through most of the suspension bushings, front shocks, replaced the a/c
compressor, built a custom bumper that is powder coated and recently replaced the top vinyl decal. I purchased a
complete decal set for the car so it comes with spare decals for the doors, trunk and the General Lee for the roof.
The car also comes with various new door and window seals. I also replaced the door hinges with new and doors
close very nicely. Also has a new battery. Currently there is 135000 miles on it and it runs flawlessly. The car
is very presentable and nice looking from any angle. There are a few small bubbles on the car and body filler used
as gauged from a magnet. The only real gripe I have is that the 4x4 shifter linkage was modified and likes to
argue to go into 4 wheel drive. The transfer case is fine…it’s the linkage that binds.
Driving this car brings a great big smile to your face....not to mention all those people you pass. There isn't a
day that I drive the car where I don't see a camera phone pointed in my direction....so you had better be a people
person if you buy this car. The exhaust has a very nice sound. Car is titled as a 1968 Charger and the title is
free and clear.

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.

Dodge hoping Fast & Furious appearance gives Dart a sales jolt [w/video]

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, Chrysler is hoping Fast & Furious 6 will be kind to the Dodge Dart. While the compact sedan doesn't actually show up in the film, Dodge has partnered up with the movie franchise for a new ad featuring the Dart.
Chrysler hasn't exactly seen the high sales numbers it was originally hoping for with the new sedan, thanks in part to a couple of missteps. For starters, most early-production vehicles were only offered with a manual transmission. Analysts believe Chrysler squandered around 95 percent of potential Dart sales because automatic transmission options weren't immediately available.
Right now, the Dodge Dart rakes 19th among compact cars, pulling down 31,064 sales through April. Last month was the company's strongest, with 8,099 units moving off of dealer lots. Unfortunately, the model has also been handicapped by its older sister, the Avenger. With Chrysler throwing heavy incentives at the aging sedan, many consumers have taken advantage of a better deal with the slightly larger, more powerful Avenger.

Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.
