I have had this car since 2004 and will describe it to the very best of my ability.  I am not real eager to sell, but other things have priorities.  This is a 1969 dodge charger, was a factory ac car, but ac is long gone.  I have a non ac heater box that will go with the car, but it is not installed.  I never drove the car in cold weather so I never installed it.  So no heat, no air.  Original engine was a 383 2 barrell.  Now has a 1969 440 hp motor.  Rear end is a 3:55 suregrip, automatic transmission.  vin matches title, dash trunk lip and radiator support. clean, clear title.

Ok good points.  Engine was rebuilt and I have put just over 2000 miles on it.  transmission was rebuilt as well.  Brand new sure grip rear end installed last summer.  I have about 500 miles on it.  Gas tank , sending unit, all lines are new.  Car has 4 wheel drum brakes,  all new lines, booster, master cylinder and brake components.  Could stop better, but it is a drum brake car.  All the wiring is new from Year one. that includes dash harness rear light harness , forward light harness, all of them.  I spent lotsa money on factory wiring for this car.  Alternator, starter, hp manifolds, power steering pump, radiator, are all new and also from year one.  Paint is about 2 years old. It isnt a show car paint job, but is very presentable.    I had trunk pan , extensions, and rear crossmember replaced.  Both rear quarters were replaced, prior to my ownership.  vaccum headlights work as they should.  I installed dynamat on the door panels and floor boards as well as new carpert and new center console.  Exhaust system was installed last year with dynamax mufflers.  Not a concourse factory job, but its ok. 

Bad points.  The front end is original and has not been changed, at least to not  my knowledge.  The car drives straight without any issues, but it was my intent to have it upgraded eventually.  It needs a rear leaf spring shackle bushing installed on the drivers side.  The interior is all original.  and looks ok.  I would probably only replace the seat covers and the headligner.  There is a mouse hole under the passenger side sunvisor.  Look at the pics and you can tell.  Not bad, but to be perfect, they need changed, but perfectly fine for me now as a driver car. missing back cover on passenger seat.  Door panels are nice as well as the door pads, especially for 45 years old.  windows all roll up and down fine, except the right rear. It works, but needs guided with your hand.  It has a bad nylon roller,  Not a big issue, expecially being a general lee, but wanted to point it out.  radio is an am radio and is for looks.  I wanted the factory appearance, but really have no desire for am radio.  It does leak some oil and the power steering box recently started leaking, Iam pretty sure from the rear seal needs replaced.  Not a major issue for as often as I drive the car, but I wanted to point them out. 

General lee stuff.  It has high quality decals installed a year ago, push bar and roll bar are an exact match from the show.  Cb is the cobra 78x as the original general lees, it is mounted but not wired to the car.  has  the correct tear drop antenna.  Wheels are american racing vecors 8.5 on the rear with 245 60 r 15 bfg and 15x7 up front running 235 60 r 15.  Tires are all in good shape,  Same 2000 miles on them.  The sunvisors were signed by john schneider on the drivers side and tom wopat on the passenger side.  The tail lights are from a Original tv series general lee and have the plaque mounted on them from when they were purchased from warner bros.  Has the dixie horn, but factory horn is still functional. 

All in all it is a very nice driver General Lee that gets tons of attention and blows away other cars at the car shows.  It is a blast for sure.  I usually just drive it around locally, and have not driven it on any where more than a 60 mile round trip, so whether or not you can pick it up and drive it home across country.   Your guess is as good as mine.  I wouldnt, but thats just me.

I think I have covered it pretty well, althogh I am sure Iam forgetting something.  if you have any questions or need additional pics please email me.

I require a $250 dollar non refundable deposit immediately after the auction closes. 

If you want to inspect it before you bid, that is fine, and I encourage it.

Prefer cash pickup in person, but  if you have it shipped, I will not release the car until the entire purchase price clears the issuers bank.

Thank you

Stellantis ready to kill brands and fix U.S. problems, CEO Tavares says

Thu, Jul 25 2024

  MILAN — Stellantis is taking steps to fix weak margins and high inventory at its U.S. operations and will not hesitate to axe underperforming brands in its sprawling portfolio, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Thursday. The warning for lossmaking brands is a turnaround for Tavares, who has maintained since Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA that all of its 14 brands including Maserati, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep have a future. "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down," Carlos Tavares told reporters after the world's No. 4 automaker delivered worse-than-expected first-half results, sending its shares down as much as 10%. "We cannot afford to have brands that do not make money." The automaker now also considers China's Leapmotor as its 15th brand, after it agreed to a broad cooperation with the group. Stellantis does not release figures for individual brands, except for Maserati which reported an 82 million euro adjusted operating loss in the first half. Some analysts say Maserati could possibly be a target for a sale by Stellantis, while other brands such as Lancia or DS might be at risk of being scrapped given their marginal contribution to the group's overall sales. Stellantis' Milan-listed shares were down as much as 12.5% on Thursday, hitting their lowest since August 2023. That brings the loss for the year so far to 22%, making them the worst performer among the major European automakers. Few automotive brands have been killed off since General Motors ditched the unprofitable Saturn and Pontiac during a U.S. government-led bankruptcy in the global financial crisis in 2008. Tavares is under pressure to revive flagging margins and sales and cut inventory in the United States as Stellantis bets on the launch of 20 new models this year which it hopes will boost profitability. Recent poor results from global carmakers have heightened worries about a weakening outlook for sales across major markets such as the U.S., whilst they also juggle an expensive transition to electric vehicles and growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Japan's Nissan Motor saw first-quarter profit almost completely wiped out on Thursday and slashed its annual outlook, as deep discounting in the United States shredded its margins. Tavares said he would be working through the summer with his U.S. team on how to improve performance and cut inventory.

2013 Dodge Dart GT offers subtle menace in compact form

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Dodge has already shared all of the relevant information about its all-new 2013 Dart GT, but it wasn't until now that we've seen the car, live and in person. The slightly meaner front fascia and bigger wheels look great on the Dodge, and the red-on-black perforated seats are sporting in an aftermarket sort of way.
To recap: The Dart GT also gets a bit more power, using a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine to make 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. A starting price of $20,995 will get you LED taillights, dual exhaust, an 8.4-inch touchscreen and a 7.0-inch TFT display.
Feel free to re-acquaint yourselves with the full Dodge Dart GT information in the press release below, or have a leisurely browse through our gallery of live images.

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.
