For sale is this numbers matching 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 with a 727 torqueflight automatic transmission.  This car is in great shape!  If you are in the market for a car that is ready to drive, this is the car is for you.  If you are looking for a frame off restoration candidate, it is tough to find a more complete and original car.  The interior is in incredible shape and includes the original console and original radio (radio is installed but not functioning at this time).  The body on the car is very straight.  There are a few minor rust spots on the rear quarter panels behind the rear tires.  If you are familiar with these cars, this is a very typical location for rust to start. The trunk pan has had some work done to it by a previous owner (see photo), but would need to be replaced to be right.  The vinyl top is in good shape, and there are no signs of rust bubbles anywhere on the roof or behind the back glass, which are also common areas of concern on these cars.


The 727 torqueflight transmission is recently rebuilt.  The car has been driven less than 100 miles since the transmission was rebuilt.  There is a small drip out of the rear seal, and I believe when the drive shaft was re-installed, the rear seal was bumped out of place.  I have a replacement seal, but have not replaced it yet.  The car has power drum brakes with new pads, solenoids, and a new power brake booster. This car still has the factory a/c (a/c is not charged).  This car also has factory power steering.  The power steering pump has a small leak and may need rebuilding or replaced.  Also, the heater core is not currently connected, and needs to be replaced.

The odometer reads 27,925mi. I believe this to be the original mileage, but don't know if it the odometer rolled over and this is actually 127,925.

You’ll notice the R/T scoops on the doors. This was typically a 1970 feature. I have been told this was an option on later 1969 models, but I have not confirmed that.  They may have been added by a previous owner.

Bottom line, this is a really nice car. It isn't perfect, and is not being advertised as such.  I have tried to mention the items I am aware of that need to be corrected on the car to make it closer to perfect.  Again, this is a very complete car, and with a little work and a fresh coat of paint, it could be back to show room quality.

Successful buyer is to pay non-refundable deposit of $500 within 48 hours of auctions end.  PayPal is an okay payment method for the deposit. The balance of payment is due with 7 days of the end of the auction.  Balance of payment is to be in the form of cash, money order, or I will consider a bank wire transfer.  The funds will need to clear prior to release of the car.  The buyer will be responsible for arranging shipping and paying all shipping charges.  Obviously, I will discuss timing of pick-up of the vehicle with the successful buyer. The car is sold as is with no exceptions.  There are no warranties expressed or written. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

If you are a serious buyer and want to discuss details, please call me at 318-243-3016.

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval

Mon, Jun 8 2020

BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.

Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
