 This is my 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 for sale. It has a 318 Engine, and is a 4 door. I shaved the rear outside door handles to make it look more sporty like a 2 door....see pictures. Of course both rear doors can be opened from the inside, but you never have to worry about locking them. Also the advantage of a 4 door like this is the fact that the doors are not nearly as heavy as a 2 door, thus they will never sag or have trouble closing them.
The car runs near perfectly, with the exception of a bit of crackling while going uphill which is from a bit of lack of lead since gas stations no longer carry leaded gas. Although I add lead additive at every fill up, it may need a little more for the first couple of fill ups. When on  level terrain there is nothing but the purring of the awesome sounding engine. Also, the charge of the alternator is high, not sure why, but it does not affect the engine performance at all. See picture. This car has great pick up, and runs great in the city and highway. The engine was rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago, and it is really a smooth runner! Because of the engine being rebuilt, the mileage listed above shows whats on the dashboard, but is really exempt on the title. All gauges, lights and blinkers work fine.
The body is pretty much straight without rust except where the pictures show the passenger front corner panel damage. The hood is a bit tough to shut, and has to be pushed in as you are shutting it because of that corner panel. I was the victim of a hit and run unfortunately. Pictures show the damage to that corner panel. The paint is pealing slightly in a few places such as around the door handles and part of the front corner panel, but can only be seen up close. All 4 tires still have original hub caps, and have plenty of tread. The original radio is still in the dash. Not sure if it works, or the condition of the speakers. Much of the interior was vinyl painted sandstone/beige color, like the dashboard and doors. A couple minor cracks in the dashboard, but overall decent for a car of this age. Seat covers are on the front and back seats. I believe the interior is decent underneath, but I put the seat covers on because they match the beige color of most of the other interior. Seats are bench seats, and the head rests for the front seat are in the trunk with covers on them as well. All 4 tires have a decent amount of tread on them.
Battery, belts, alternator, and voltage regulator are all brand new. Vehicle includes spare tire and Jack. Very minor surface rust in the trunk.
Any questions please don't hesitate to ask! Thank you.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.

Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.
