1970 Dodge Coronet R/t Magnum 2-door Hardtop 7.2l on 2040-cars
Junction City, Kansas, United States
Up for Auction a 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 Magnum R/T With 727 transmission 22,800.00 Original miles. My friend and I went to look at this car approx 35 years ago with the idea that I was going to buy it, well it did'nt turn out that way, my friend Dennis wanted it so bad he begged me to let him buy it as he had a 1968 Dodge Charger that got totaled by a tree falling on it. so I let him have it. big mistake as Dinnes put the car in storage and never did anything with it. in the mean time he got sick and was unable to do anything with it. I keep trying to get him to sell it back to me but he just did not want to sell. anyway Dennis past on. His wife knew the whole story and sold me the car. It had approx 17,000 miles on it when Dennis got it and was in excellent condition, when I got the car it had 18, 443 miles and after sitting in storage 30 or so years it was in poor condition with dents, scratches, rust on lower right quarter panel and the hood and top were damaged due to storing junk on it. the right front fender had damage, no magor damage but enough to make you sick to your stomach. I was very dissapointed in the looks of the car, i was expecting to see the car like it was. He had taken the vinyl top part the way off and some of the trim. had some rust just below the rear window where the vinyl ended. Had to replace too small patch panals it was more surface rust, but replaced them anyway. I decited not to put the vinyl top back on but still have all the trim. after sitting for so long and not being started I was a little concerned. after cleaning the fuel tank and fuel lines I thought now or never, I removed the ignition wires and the engine turned over everything sounded normal hooked everything up and was very surprised that it started and ran pretty good, I felt like jumping up and down and I did, things were looking up. Curtis and I did all the body work, spent lots of time making sure it was straight. has all the original brakes, they look new and work like new. The interior has been replaced all new, and I kept the old interior with carpet and headliner, the old interior was ok just dirty looking. I put about 4,000 miles on it. it's a great driver and looks that will turn heads. has electronic ignition, new carburator and water pump. I have all the original parts wheels also. I have the build sheet. There were approx 2,100 built a 1 year only body style. You really got to see and drive this car to appreciate it. Dallas Richards was the original owner and still lives in Junction City, he would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Dallas purchased this car when he returned from Vietnam 1969 he said he got it for his wife she wanted something fast. the car is not perfect by any means. Not sure of rear end gears, all I know is that it's positrac and gets off the line fast. It's no interstate cruser.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Aug 2014Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.
