Howdy,

I'm selling my 1969 Charger.  Somewhat begrudgingly.  I love the car, I'm just not driving it that much lately.  And you'll notice a pic of a 1969 Coronet.  I figured I should bankroll another project.  Anyhow, Here's a little description for you.  I bought this car 6 years ago.  When I bought it the body had just received a frame off restoration with fresh paint.  It had a brand new TCI 727 Sizzler transmission and a freshly rebuilt bored out 30 over 383.  None of this had been assembled.  There was no interior in the car, no body trim, no vinyl top, and some nasty old 72 rims.  I put the car together and did the entire interior.  The vinyl top I had professionally done.  As you can see from the pics the car is beautiful and I assure you in runs very well.  Brakes, suspension, and bushings were all new at time of restoration.  They are all in great condition.  I used to live in rural Oregon and regularly drove the car on weekends along those beatiful highways where few people go.  This is where the car belongs.  It wants to run.  It's not tuned for stop and go traffic.  Since moving to the Bay Area a couple of years ago, dealing with traffic all the time, I just don't feel like driving in my off time and would feel terrible subjecting such a beauty to nasty Bay Area commute traffic.  Hence the sell.  The rims are excellent condition 71 rallys.  I had debated mags but I had these and I decided I really liked them once I put them on.  They are real metal hubs with new trim rings.  The tires are barely used BF Goodrich radial T/As.  Honestly the car has all of 3000 miles on it since restoration.  All of the gauges and lights work except the turn signal indicators on the front hood.  A couple of the gauges read a little off.  The fuel is empty when it reads a quarter full and the needle is buried when you fill it.  Things like that.  The vacume headlight doors work great.  The radio does not work.  The undercarriage is immaculate and I plan on including a couple of pics to show that soon.  There is no rust on this car at all.  There are however a couple of small body issues.  Two driver side door dings.  And I believe a tire of a large pickup rubbed at the juncture or the driver door and front fender.  The car was stored inside for all but 5 months since I've had it.  Unfortunately I was out of town for a couple of months when a storm hit and water got under the car cover.  It formed a bunch of little bubbles on the horizontal surfaces.  These are tiny and unnoticable from 5 feet away.  I included a pic of the one bubble I opened up to see if there was any undercoat damage.  There is not.  This is strictly a surface coat issue.  It happened 5 years ago and there has been no change.  Another unusual feature of this car.  It is registered as a 68 Charger.  I am not entirely sure why.  If you know your Chargers you can see that there is nothing that is not 1969 about this car except for the engine color.  It may be that that the fellow I bought it from had two bad Chargers and made one good one.  I don't know.  $1000 to be paid within 24hrs of completion of auction.  The balance will need to clear before I turn over the title.  I accept Paypal, Cashiers Check, Money Order, or Cash.  The reserve is upper mid 20's.  The vehicle will need to be picked up within 3 weeks of payment.  I am happy to meet a shipper for pickup.  Email if you have any questions.  Thanks for reading!

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.

Indications of 825 hp and emissions issues for Hellcat called 'speculation' by Chrysler

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is probably one of the hottest cars of the moment mostly because of its insane, 707-horsepower supercharged V8. However, there are conflicting reports coming out that the powerplant might be having problems with its emissions compliance and may be capable of even more power.
Jalopnik says that an unnamed source within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles told it that the Hellcat was having problems meeting emissions standards at its 707-horsepower tune. The person claimed that the automaker has been testing the V8 with different types of sensors, possibly to make it a bit cleaner in the future. Autoblog spoke to SRT spokesperson Dan Reid, and he said about the claimed poor emissions, "It's totally speculation."
The source also claimed that the Hellcat had been dynoed at a monumental 825 horsepower, internally. Based on the other rumor, though, it's hard to imagine the engine being emissions compliant like that. Autoblog also asked Reid about this speculation about more power and was told, "They are totally speculating about that."
