Marietta, New York, United States
1974 dodge charger all original body. Original spare tire and jack original 14 inch rally rims with trim rings. The engine and trans are not original the car started as a 318 car. And now has a 440 block and 727 I USED CUSTOM MOTOR MOUNTS !!!! UNCUT ORIGINAL K MEMBER. Meaning converting back To small block. Would be very easy to do but any way the body is absolutely Solid as a rock the only rust bubble on the whole car is on the driver side rear fender. Above the wheel and is about the size of a dime. And that's it. Same with the underside. No rust or rot. At all. Clearly the car was never driven in the winter or not a NY car. original paint it's a beautiful metallic green. That really stands out and looks fantastic it's paint code G8 the car has a very nice white factory pinstripe. Down each side to match the white by all top the car also has factory hood pins I did remove the in car hood release and factory safety latch but I do still have both of these parts.I also painted the Valley pan And distributer cap the same G8 green as the body. And trimmed the edlbrock intake plus mopar performance polished aluminum valve covers in green see pics. looks very very sharp.the Interior is beautiful other that 3 small issues that Are stated further down. The trunk, floors, Hood doors, windows are all in fantastic condition.Everything works as it should in the electrical department with the exception of the wiper motor but all the lights flashers signals. Horn. And instrumentation works the Speedo is not hooked up because of having the incorrect nylon gear in the trans but the speedo does work, the car has the base model dash with the long rectangular speedo it's also a buckets and console car. She goes down the road straight. Front end is very tight no wandering at all due to frequent greasing front power disks read drums the factory power steering was removed to free up some space. But even with the big block it steers easy White vinyl top is in fair shape and could be replaced or could not. The headliner. Could be replaced. It's some what discolored. And has a mouse hole but the hole is hidden by the sun visor the dash pad over all is in great shape but it does have 2 small Cracks. This could likely be repaired. And not replaced And 3 small. Holes in the back seat I also believe these could be repaired with out replacing the cover each smaller than a quarter the engine is a 72 440 block. Bored 30 over. 4.10 stroke crank. From 440 source. H beam rods Stock length (.990 pin) JE flat top pistons and rings with butterfly valve cuts. 509 mopar purple shaft cam full roller timing set 915 heads. With light gasket porting. Auto meter tack and oil pressure gauges. 800 CFM edlbrock carb with no choke billet steel mains with a stud girdle plate. Kit from 440 source ( makes the bottom end stronger reduces flexing under high rpm an heavy loads ties the mains. To the block ) And all engine fashioners are ARP ( main studs , rod end bolts, head bolts, ) 8qt low profile deep sump gold milodon oil pan and correct pickup. And a high flow oil pump. Also a high flow aluminum water pump and edlbrock mechanical. Fuel pump good for up to 600 HP. Under the hood is very very clean looking all the electric wiring is nicely loomed. the fuel lines and vacuum line is done up in a polished simulated steel braid with a nice looking polished fuel filter as well as many polished bolts polished water neck polished throttle return spring and bracket. Ceramic coated headers pypes 2 1/2 inch x pipe exhaust With race pro mufflers. Factory 11 inch torque converter Custom worked by CTI in Nedrow NY the stall is aprox 2500 ( matched to cam) and the internals are all heavy duty .The trans is a reworked 727 full manual valve body. (No kickdown linkage ) brand new pressure plates. Filter bands adjusted. Completely gone thru and rebuilt by a professional tranny shop. The rear end is an 8 1/4. With 391 gears and a mopar sure grip I think It would be a good idea to put a 8 3/4 in or a Dana but not required. And if the buyer would like I have a 8 3/4 out I a truck that I will include. 3.23 open diff ( same as B body other than you would need to move the spring perches and no pinion snubber ) And their is somthing in the engine I can't put my finger on it the car runs ok Just has an odd sound to it. That I haven't been able to fully understand. So I will give you the absolute worst case. but it could be a much simpler problem. I believe it needs Bearings in the lower end but I'm not positive. As the Oil pressure is great at 50-70 psi I always ran brad penn penn grade the engine was never driven hard or driven much at all to be hones. Just to the Syracuse nationals last year a little around the show and back home. So maybe a total of 50 miles but keeping with I give you worst case info but it may not be that bad I will say the engine should be pulled disassembled and rebuilt. Maybe a more skilled and experienced mechanic. Could provide a better understanding of what the issue is and how to properly fix the problem but I will in NO WAY MISLEAD ANY POTENTIAL BUYER. AS TO WHAT EXACTLY THEY ARE LOOKING AT WITH THIS CAR good or bad. You will know everything I know even if it may hurt me as a seller. At the end of the day my word is far more valuable. As stated all the components of the engine are brand new. Like less than 100 miles brand new. They are also top on the line parts Something like 4200 was spent just in engine parts alone and that doesn't include machining costs ( line honed, bored .30 over , and deck truing) Also included is a second cam shaft and lifter set from comp around 570 lift I have the grind sheet just not right in front of my as I'm typing this posting to know the exact specs I also installed 600 lift double spring valve springs the car has an electric puller fan. Original mopar big block radiator and a custom double cooler tranny cooling set up that is very nice My asking price and willingness to negotiate price. Is reflective of the engine issues. I know people. Are generally unwilling to pay top dolor. For something that needs work. But I also know that this car with a nicely running big block would bring 15k or more so I'm not going to just give it away either. For me I just lost interest In cars I don't have the time to tinker like I used to and always spread my self thin plus I never have the time the car deserves so it's time for her to go and give some one else the chance to enjoy this wonderful carIt really is a great deal for any mopar or muscle car lover if you have any questions,would like more more pictures or a specific picture feel free to ask but I would encourage any potential buyer to just come look if you're able to Pictures do not do the car justice Ps the title is clean. I own the car no Leans On Apr-19-14 at 09:39:06 PDT, seller added the following information: I added more pictures showing the rear side windows my car has the full size roll down windows not the little ones or the louvers I think the best looking of the 3 the vinyl top goes all the way down to the deck lid I also lowered my reserve price to 5k |

Dodge Dart pushed toward the grave with simplified lineup
Tue, Apr 12 2016FCA announced a while back that the Dodge Dart and its Chrysler 200 half-sibling are on the way out due to lack of interest. The 2016 model year will be the Dart's last, and Dodge has just reconfigured the lineup mid-year to lower (relative) pricing and streamline ordering. Streamlined is a nice way of saying there will be fewer choices, with three models (down from five) and limited customization beyond choosing the paint color. The odd thing is that the Dart continues to offer three different engines. And while the prices of the individual models have decreased, the former SE base trim is now gone. That means an early-2016 Dart was available for as little as $17,990, while the late-2016 Dart starts at $18,990. For that sum you get the new base model, the SXT Sport, which replaces the SXT and comes with the 2.0-liter Tigershark four-cylinder (160 horsepower, 148 lb-ft of torque) and a six-speed manual; a six-speed automatic is an available option. Standard equipment includes normal entry-level car stuff, black cloth upholstery, 16-inch wheels, and grille shutters that help improve fuel economy. The SXT Sport can be dressed up with one of three different appearance packages; Chrome adds bright accents to parts including the grille and door handles, Rallye has a black grille and a touring suspension, and the Blacktop package makes pretty much everything on the exterior black and includes a sport-tuned suspension. All three packages come with bigger wheels, too. From there it's on to the new Dart Turbo, for $20,490. It comes with the 1.4-liter turbo four (160 hp, 184 lb-ft of torque) and comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. This is supposed to be the model for enthusiasts, which is how Dodge is selling the switch to manual-only. Ditching the disliked dual-clutch automatic that was previously offered with this engine doesn't hurt. This engine was also used in the former Aero model, as it's the most fuel-efficient in the lineup. The Turbo gets the Rallye appearance stuff and a different hood. At the top is the Dart GT Sport, starting at $21,900. It has the 184-hp, 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder and a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. This is the one with features, including a power driver's seat, the 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment unit, digital reconfigurable gauges, dual-zone auto climate, keyless start, and a rearview camera. The latter-part-of-2016 Dart will be available in eight colors.
Dodge Journey gets more SUV-like look with new Crossroad model
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Looking to play up its aging three-row crossover, Dodge will introduce a new model for its Journey franchise at next week's Chicago Auto Show. The 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad will be a new trim level positioned between the SXT and Limited, and it will be distinguished from other Journey models thanks to a handful of styling add-ons.
Plucking a page right out of the appearance playbook of the Ford Explorer Sport, the Journey Crossroad gets a meaner, more SUV-like demeanor. The Journey has often straddled the line between tall wagon and crossover, but this new trim goes a long way toward skewing its visuals toward the utility vehicle end of the spectrum. That's thanks largely to the Platinum chrome exterior trim on its roof rails and side sills, unique fascias, smoked headlights and taillights and, of course, those black 19-inch wheels. Inside, the Journey Crossroad will get a similar treatment, with darker, Liquid Graphite accents throughout the cabin, and the model will also come standard with leather seats (which Dodge says are a new design), and Chrysler's giant 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
The 2014 Journey Crossroad goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $24,995 (*not including $995 for destination) for the four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive model, but Dodge says that the model will also be offered with more power and capability from the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and all-wheel-drive. Scroll down for the full press release, and check back next week for our live coverage from Chicago.
Performance doesn't matter anymore, it's all about the feel
Wed, Aug 24 2022We've just had a week of supercars and high-end EVs revealed. Many of them boast outrageous performance specs. There were multiple vehicles with horsepower in the four-figure range, and not just sports cars, but SUVs with 0-60 mph times under 3.5 seconds. And it's not just a rarified set of supercar builders, comparatively small tuners are also building this stuff. Going fast is easy nowadays and getting easier. So what will distinguish the greats from the wannabes? It's all about how a car feels. This may seem obvious. "Of course it matters that a car should have good steering feel and a playful chassis!" you say. "Why are you being paid for this stuff?" But a lot of automakers have missed the memo. This past week I spent some time in a BMW M4 Competition convertible, and it's a perfect example of prioritizing performance over experience. It boggles my mind how a company can create such dead and disconnected steering; the weight never changes, there's no feel whatsoever. The chassis is inflappable, but to a fault, because it doesn't feel like anything you're doing is difficult or exciting. The car is astoundingly fast and capable, but it feels less like driving a car and more like tapping in a heading on the Enterprise-D. I also happened to drive something of comparable performance that was much more enjoyable: a Mercedes-AMG GT. It was a basic model with the Stealth Edition blackout package, and even though it had a twin-turbo V8 instead of a six-cylinder, it only made 20 more horsepower. The power wasn't the big differentiator, it was (say it with me) the feel. While not the best example, the steering builds resistance as you dial in lock, giving you a better idea of what's happening up front. Pulses and vibrations come back to you as you move over bumpy pavement in corners. The chassis isn't quite as buttoned down, either, providing a little bit of body roll that tells you you're pushing it. It's also easier to feel when the car is wanting to understeer or oversteer, and how your throttle and steering inputs are affecting it. The whole thing is much more involving, exciting and fun. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Stealth Edition View 8 Photos That's also to say nothing of the Merc's sounds. That V8 is maybe not the best sounding engine, but its urgent churn through the opened-up exhaust gets your heart racing. It also seems like it's vibrating the whole cabin, so you feel it as much as you hear it.
