Thank you for taking the time to learn about my 1970 Dodge Charger - General Lee

In 1970, the Charger changed slightly from the previous 1968 and 1969 models. This would be the last year of the 2nd generation Charger and featured a large wraparound chrome bumper and the grille was no longer divided in the middle. New electric headlight doors replaced the old vacuum style. The taillights were similar to those used in 69, but 500 and R/T models came with a new more attractive taillight panel.

When I took possession of the car a few days before Christmas 2013, It supposedly only needed a few things that could be accomplished with a couple of weekends worth of work.  This of course turned out not to be true. 

The previous owner told me the 318 engine and TorqueFlite  trans both had less than 5k miles since being rebuilt.  The motor checked out fine and runs great.  The transmission was another story.  I had to have a reputable transmission shop go through it and do a rebuild. (April 2014)

Prior to me purchasing the car the previous owner performed the following:

·        2 NEW Quarter panels installed

·        New windshield installed

·        New gas tank and sender unit installed

·        New Falcon racing tires mounted on correct General Lee Wheels

·        New Engine and Trans mounts installed

·        New carpet and Dyno Mating installed

It reportedly only needed the drive shaft to be shortened (Because the motor and trans had come out of a running, driving dodge pick-up truck), brakes, headlights and finishing of wiring. 

The car now runs and drives fine.  As I mentioned before the, I the transmission rebuilt.  I had to purchase a new carburetor.  The brakes were a nightmare, but are now all new, including a new master cylinder. I installed brand new exhaust from the manifolds back, and installed a working Dixie horn.

The previous owner told me he had over $15,000 into it, and I believe it.  I have about $5000 more into it.  I realize this is not a $20,000 car, but it is a real 1970 Dodge Charger that came with air-conditioning from the factory.  The paint and body work are extremely amateur and it looks like a General Lee after it has been jumped a few times.  The car is a lot of fun to drive around town and everyone wants to take a picture with it.  Starts, runs and stops good.  Thanks for looking

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

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.
