This is a very nice 1949 Dodge Coronet in original condition. Using the Old Cars Report Price Guide rating system, I would place this car between a 2 and a 3 on the Vehicle Condition Scale.

This car was repainted original equipment Island Green sometime in the mid-1980's. It has been in good dry storage since then. The car had 67,256 miles when I purchased it in September of 1990. The car now has 67,421 miles. Thus, I have decided to sell the car, since I have had little opportunity to drive and enjoy it. As far as I know, this mileage is accurate.

The interior is original. The driver seat has a split seam which is shown in one of the pictures. The front floor mat is original. It has become brittle with age, When I raised it to have access to replace the brake master cylinder, it crumbled. Both front door armrests have been recovered. The headliner is original, with no holes or tears. All gages work. The radio does not work.

The rubber trunk mat is not original. However, it was manufactured to fit a '49 Dodge.

The chassis and drivetrain are completely original. There is oil seepage on the engine oil pan, but not to the extent that it drips. Five knew B.F. Goodrich wide WSW tires were installed in July, 2013. A new fuel pump was installed in June, 2011. The brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders have been replaced at some time during my ownership. Underhood is original.

The car maintains good oil pressure and constant engine temperature. It has never overheated.

This is originally an Iowa car. The floor pans, trunk, and fenders are rust free. To my knowledge, this car has never had any body damage or rust repaired. During my 24 years of ownership, I have seen no evidence of previous body work deteriorating. All chrome and stainless trim appear to be original.

Shipping is the responsibility of the successful bidder.

The Dodge Demon's massive hood scoop sucks air like a jet intake

Thu, Feb 9 2017

You 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:

Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.
