1969 Dodge Charger R/t on 2040-cars
Forestville, New York, United States
Decided to sell the misses 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. 440 (#'s matching) survivor. Stripe delete Air-conditioned power window car that has lived it's life in CA since 1970. She is the 3rd owner. (she bought it in '12, and brought it to NY ) Incredibly solid car and right now is a great driver quality muscle car. As far as I can tell, the heads haven't even been off this motor. Runs great and easily cruises down the interstate at 70! All new front end bushings, shocks all the way around, and all braking components have been replaced. Car stops great with the 4 wheel HD drum brakes due to the fact that the car came equipped with a factory "trailoring" package. Some bubbling on the lower passenger rear quarter, and some rust at the driver's side cowl at the windshield (pics) and that's it for corrosion. Car was shot with undercoating sometime during it's life and is even sprayed on the underside of the hood. Looks kinda "choochy" but the metal has been preserved perfectly! It does have it's dings and scratches but hey, it's 45 years old and is driven. Original sheet metal but you can see that there has been some dent removal on the passenger side rear quarter. For reasons unknown, the previous(or the original) owner, filled the gap between the passenger rear quarter and the trunk spring support with spray foam(pic). (WT....!) Apparently, we were told, that it was the original owner who that "brush" painted the scratches and paint imperfections on the car and he did some poor work. But, on the plus side, the paint matched perfectly and protected the metal. Bumpers, wheels, shocks, brakes, and suspension bushings were replaced by the previous owner. Radiator and the air conditioning compressor are not original. Seats were recovered at one point too with cloth (I'd guess in the '80's) but tastefully done. Guess they didn't want to sit on black vinyl in the California sun. Front carpet needs to be replaced. I also have the original radio that comes with. Tires are practically new Goodyear Eagles. You can drive this Charger to any and all car shows! Or restore it to original if you'd like. I hate to see her sell it but she wants new. Ugh! I've included a bunch of pictures and I'll get pics of the undercarriage up here as soon as the lift becomes available. I'll also get a pic of the engine stamp plate to verify the numbers for you. I think the car is being listed with a very reasonable reserve. If you don't plan on buying and paying for the car, DO NOT BID. CAR IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME, DUE TO SALE. All are invited and encouraged to come inspect before bidding. Thanks for your interest and consideration. I will answer any and all questions as quickly as I can. Car and registration will not be released until all funds are cleared by my bank. Cash is nice :) $500 non-refundable deposit due within 2 days of auctions end. Buyer responsible for all transport costs.

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Dodge Colt Vista
Wed, Oct 19 2016The partnership between Chrysler and Mitsubishi started way back in 1971 and led to plenty of Mitsubishis being sold in the United States as Chryslers, Dodges, Plymouths, and Eagles (plus the use of Mitsubishi engines in all manner of Chrysler-built vehicles). The Colt name – used on a series of Galant-, Lancer-, and Mirage-based cars – became a fairly successful brand for Chrysler, and so it was slapped on Dodge- and Plymouth-badged Mitsubishi Chariots. The Colt Vista wasn't a huge sales success, and you won't see many today, but they had a certain following. Here's a rare '90 that I spotted in a Minneapolis self-service wrecking yard over the summer. Just 114k miles on this one, but the rust got pretty bad and that's the most likely culprit for its junkyardization. These cars made good family haulers, although you wouldn't find many of their 2016 counterparts sporting three pedals. Turbo Tom kept it going for quite a while, but rust never sleeps in Minnesota.

The Dodge Demon's massive hood scoop sucks air like a jet intake
Thu, Feb 9 2017You know what they say about cars with big hood scoops? They usually hide big blowers. At least that's the case with the Dodge Demon and its 45-inch wide hood scoop, the largest ever fitted to a factory production car. The fifth Demon teaser, "Forced Induction," shows off the increased capacity of the car's air intake and the resurrection of the Air Grabber hood scoop on Dodge's upcoming quarter-mile killer. View 4 Photos As with previous teasers, few details have been given outside of the Subaru-trouncing scoop's dimensions. Dodge says the scoop drops air inlet temperatures by more than 30 degrees. Where the more pedestrian Hellcat only has one air catcher headlight, both inner lights on the Demon are used to feed in air. The hood itself appears to channel air in and to the right into a new airbox that appears to be fitted with a K&N-style filter. Dodge seems intent on preventing any asthma issues with the new car. Standing in front of the car might literally take your breath away. Outside of that, the images don't show any new cryptic messages like previous teasers, or at least none that we can spot. One thing we did notice was that the engine block appears to be painted red, not orange like on the Hellcat. Doing some back and forth comparison also shows that the supercharger appears to be the same size as the current one. Of course, this is all speculative, so if you spot anything, drop a note in the comments. Related Video:
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
