Rare Collector Quality Mopar 1973 Dodge Charger B Body Extremely Original 318 on 2040-cars
Lubbock, Texas, United States
This third generation Dodge Charger will impress the Classic Car connoisseur’s to the avid collector. It is in amazing condition, almost as though we are stepping back in time and looking through a window, as this Charger sits on the Dodge Dealers showroom floor in 1973. There is something inherently cool about a Mopar that has remained as timeless as this vehicle has. This B Body Mopar has never been hacked up, modified, driven hard, or cheaply restored. I simply can say, I rarely ever see a unrestored Mopar of this caliber and that truly is a huge statement. This Charger would be the perfect platform to turn into a pro-touring hot rod since its body and floors are completely solid and rust free or leave it the way it is, drive it and enjoy it or It's a perfect opportunity for a Dodge dealer to put it on the showroom for that throwback look. Most of these highly sought after Mopars have been scooped up over the years with very few retaining the originality and documentation that this example does. From the Family that has owned this car since new:
For 1973, the Chargers received vertically slatted taillights and new grills and the hideaway headlights were no longer available. This 3rd generation Charger is easily recognizable with its exaggerated coke bottle shape and swoops throughout its body-lines. The exterior of this car needs no excuses from its excellent shine and finish to its vinyl top and trim work. The interior is just a breathtaking as the exterior and will challenge you to imagine if this car ever was driven. The dash and gauges are picture perfect. This style Mopar allows for all the comforts of a modern ride with COLD air conditioning, a Torqueflite automatic transmission and 318 V8 engine. This vehicle fills the gap of acquiring a collector vehicle that will continue to appreciate in value and will also retain its original aesthetics. Because remember vintage cars can only be original once and it is highly feasible that years from now when many have been modified or cloned that the originals will be the vehicles that will appreciate in valuable. We are already starting to this with the original Chevy and Fords of the 30's. This Mopar will be a great addition to anyones collection. Stats:

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Mopar '13 Dart will roll into Chicago next week
Thu, 31 Jan 2013We think this officially counts as a tradition. Every year going back to 2010, Mopar has rolled out a limited edition version of a popular product from the Chrysler Group portfolio. First it was the Mopar '10 Challenger, then the Mopar '11 Charger, then last year's Mopar '12 300, and this year it will be the Mopar '13 Dart, which will make its official world debut next week at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
Limited in number to just 500 units, the Mopar '13 Dart is no mere appearance package, though the demeanor of the Dart will be murdered out with a gloss black finish, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a set of Mopar blue stripes and a mean-looking Mopar ground effects kit. Likewise, the interior is touched up with leather seats (a blue one for the driver and black hides for the passengers), gloss black and black chrome trim, blue accent stitching, a sport pedal kit and other Mopar interior accessories.
Turning our attention back to the mechanical bits, the Mopar '13 Dart comes with the car's most powerful engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir four (shared with Fiat 500 Abarth) that's paired with a manual transmission. Those big, black wheels get wrapped in low profile 225/40R18 performance tires, and keeping everything in check is an upgraded brake kit with slotted rotors. The steering has also been calibrated for performance, the suspension lowered seven millimeters, and the exhaust tuned for better engine breathing.
Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
