Up for auction is a very beautiful and legendary 1969 Dodge Charger, gold with a beige vinyl top in excellent condition inside and out.  I bought it on ebay a couple of years ago for $20,000.00. When I bought it, the paint, body, vinyl top and interior were in excellent condition, but mechanically the car needed alot of work.  I entrusted it with a reputable former Chrysler/Dodge mechanic who brought this legend back to life. The driver's side sun visor is signed on the opposite side by none other than John Schneider of the Dukes of Hazzard! I went to a ComicCon in Philadelphia a couple of years ago and he was there signing autographs, so I brought the visor with me. I had shown him a pic of the car on my celphone and asked him if he thought if I should have the car converted to a General Lee and he said that there were too many General Lees out there. He said that the gold color of this car was awesome, that it should be left original. I had the following items replaced in the process of having it restored mechanically:

  • Replacement 318 engine
  • New Brakes
  • New shocks
  • New Tires
  • New steering wheel
  • Repair of electrical wiring
  • New dash clock
  • CD stereo with 4 speaker system
  • All lighting replaced
  • New Exhaust
  • Headers
  • Electronic Ignition
  • New Carburator
  • & Much More

I had different plans with the car, but never got around to it.  I am selling it because it deserves to be with someone who will take it out for rides and enjoy it. Because it is rare and valuable, I have been a bit nervous to take it out for rides. So I am likely going to buy myself a newer Mustang, a car that I won't be nervous about taking out for nice rides on the weekends. It still does need a horn, kickdown linkage and if you want A/C, you would need an A/C unit inside. Other than that, the car is beautiful inside and out.

Dodge recalling 2k SRT Hellcat Challengers and Chargers for fuel leak

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Bad news for fans of the obscene output of the Dodge Hellcat twins, as FCA has announced a voluntary recall of both 707-horsepower variants of the 2015-model-year Charger sedan and Challenger coupe. According to FCA, a total of 2,211 cars are being recalled after a dealer discovered a "possible fuel leak" during a pre-delivery inspection. Despite getting cleared by suppliers, FCA claims its engineers found "improperly installed" hose seals. Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification and be asked to report in for repairs. Of the vehicles affected, the overwhelming majority, 2,012, were sold in the US market. The remainder were sold in Canada (148), Mexico (30) and just 21 outside of North America. Scroll down for the official release from FCA. Related Video: Statement: Hose Seals March 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 2,211 cars globally to replace fuel-delivery components that may leak. An FCA US dealer alerted the Company to a possible fuel leak following a pre-delivery vehicle inspection. These components had passed the supplier's leak-testing, but FCA US engineers launched an investigation and discovered certain hose seals may have been improperly installed. The Company is unaware of any related injuries, accidents or customer complaints. Affected are model-year 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT coupes and Dodge Charger SRT sedans equipped with 6.2-liter V-8 engines. There are an estimated 2,012 in the U.S.; 148 in Canada; 30 in Mexico and 21 outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be notified and advised when they may schedule service. Customers with questions or concerns may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.

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."

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
