Jackson, Mississippi, United States

Before I am asked... No, there is not a Buy it Now price. If you are interested in the car, please bid what you are willing to pay. The auction will run the full 7 days and will not end until Sunday evening (12-15-13). Thank you for understanding.
Now... Up for auction is your chance to own a very rare 1968 Dodge Charger. This isn't your regular run-of-the-mill Charger... this car is one of only 902 built in 1968 with a 225 cubic inch slant six engine and an automatic transmission. Originally, this car was white with a black vinyl top and red interior. I saved this car from someone who had plans of "fixing it up one day"... when in reality, the car would have just sat in their yard and it would have gone downhill from there. The original slant six and automatic transmission are not in the car and the previous owner did not have it either. From what I heard, the car was up and running just fine until the late 90's when it ran hot and was parked. The engine was pulled for overhaul... the owner never got around to it and decided to sell it. The previous owner bought the car with the intensions to drop a V8 in it... and never did. That is when I purchased the car. The car is actually in pretty nice shape! It has your typical B-body rust issues here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. The reddish-orange paint job is "amateur" best. It does not look like much (if any) body work was done before the paint was applied. It even has a few cat paw prints here and there... haha. From what I can tell, all of the original body panels are still on the car and it has never been wrecked. The grille looks very nice with just a couple stress cracks on the surround. I do not see any missing sections on the grille, which is nearly impossible! It even has the '68-only bezel surrounding the bulbs which are commonly missing. The doors, hood, and trunk lid open and close fine. As I mentioned... this car has typical B-body rust in the lower quarters, trunk floor, trunk extensions, rear valance, one rocker panel and a couple small flaky soft spots in the floor. All four frame rails and torsion bar crossmember look to be very solid though!! Surprisingly, the rear glass area looks to be very solid... which if you've looked at Chargers, you know this spot usually goes first. The roof has a small spot right above the rear glass and it will need some attention as well as the seams on the sail panels. Every panel has it's fair share of minor dents and dings... but like I said, it has never been wrecked. This car was a daily driver for 30 years. It's amazing that it is still in good shape. Drive it as is or restore it back to show quality. The interior will need to be replaced but is mostly intact. The cluster shows it's age and displays 944 miles. I'm sure this is actually 100,944 miles. The seats are not original to the car and I'm not sure what they came out of. The buckets are currently not bolted in, but were at one time. There is no headliner in the car, but most of the bows are in the trunk. The glass looks decent but the windshield will need to be replaced. The engine bay looks very solid with the exception of the battery tray. The car originally had power steering, manual drum brakes, non-A/C, and a 2 speed windshield wiper motor. The original slant six K-frame and swap bar is still in the car. The car also still has its original 8 1/4 rear end. The grille and all of it's components are still intact. The headlight doors are not frozen and will open and close by hand. I do not have a driveshaft for the car. All four wheels roll fine but two of the tires will only hold air for a few hours. I can air up the tires when it is time to pick up the car, but if you decide to pull this car on a two wheel dolly, I would strongly recommend bringing a good pair of wheels and tires. The fender tag and VIN plate are still on the car and I have a CLEAR MISSISSIPPI TITLE that is ready to be signed over to the new owner. The fender tag decodes as followed: XP29: Dodge Charger 2 Door Sports Hardtop 21: 225cid Slant Six Engine 5: 3-Speed Automatic Transmission 33: 7.35x14 Tires 325: March 25, 1968 Build Date AX2: 2.94 Rear Axle Ratio TRM C6R: Charger Trim Grade, Vinyl Bucket Seats. Red Interior. PNY WW1: Monotone White Paint. UBS R: Burgundy Metallic Upper Door Frame Color. MOLDINGS: 25: Drip Rail Mouldings 30: Body Belt Mouldings 78: Wheel Lip Mouldings ABC OPTIONS: R1: AM Radio Y6: Black Vinyl Top abc OPTIONS: b4: Bucket Seats This would make a GREAT Christmas present for someone who has always been wanting a Dodge Charger! It would also be a great start to building a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee replica (It looks like it was heading that way anyways). But if you are like me, I would love to see it restored back to original with a correct slant six... and put it back white, w/ a black top, and red interior... but that's just me. I'm kind of a purist for rare and unusual Mopars! :) The sky is the limit. ALL BIDDERS, PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: ** SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!!!!!!! ** If you do not have money to buy the car... or if you have no intensions to even pay for the car, please do not bid. I WILL turn you in to eBay as a non-paying bidder. ** I am very easy to work with but I ask that you pay for the car IN FULL within 10 days after the auction has ended. I have room on my property, so if you need extra time to schedule deliver/pick up, I am perfectly fine with that... as long as the car is paid for in full. I will not charge a storage fee. ** A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days after the auction has ended. I will accept Paypal or payment through the mail for the deposit. I will not accept Paypal for the remaining balance unless you do not mind paying the 3% fee that I will be charged. ** All payments must be paid in full and must clear my bank before I will release the vehicle for delivery. ** Please to not show up on a Sunday afternoon and expect to pick up the car with a handwritten personal check. That will not work. Feel free to contact me with with any questions. Thank you for looking at my auction!! |

Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
