Real R/t, Not A Clone, All Original Sheetmetal, 4 Speed on 2040-cars

ONE OF ABOUT 1100 FACTORY 440 FOUR SPEEDS BUILT

I restored this beautiful Coronet R/T to original condition.  Its a real deal R/T that is as solid and reliable as any late model car. Not a show car, this car is ready for the road but it wont take much to bring it up to the next show level.

This is the best color combination and everywhere it goes, it gets compliments and always draws a crowd at car shows.

The paint is basecoat/clearcoat TT1 medium green metallic with the correct dual band bumblebee stripe that has been painted on.  It also has a new Legendary vinyl top that looks great.  It comes with a set of Wheel Vintiques 15" Magnum 500s on BFG Radials with about 5000 miles on them, not the Keystones in the pictures. 

The interior of the car is also new from Legendary including seat covers, door panels and carpet.  Everything works.

The original 440 has 906 heads with some port work, a vintage Edelbrock TM7 intake, a Holley 870 Street Avenger carb, an older DC .509 purple shaft cam, an 8 qt Milodon oil pan, a Mopar chrome box ignition and headers with a new exhaust.  All of the original parts come with it.  It runs strong but getting tired and could probably use some freshening up.  The transmission is an 18 spline "Hemi crash box" 4 speed with a Dana 60 rear with 3.54 gears, all factory installed and documented.  I put a new Centerforce clutch in it recently.

Manual steering and brakes.  This is a real deal musclecar without the fluff.  It came without a console from the factory but I have a correct green console that is available separately.  The car also came with power windows from the factory but have been retrofitted with easier to use and find parts for crank-up windows.

Every panel on the car is the original from the factory.  There are some holes in the trunk floor but does not need an entire new floor to properly repair it.  That is the only rust on the car and I mean it.  The chrome is all there and could use some detailing.  I removed the chrome rocker moldings because I like the cleaner look without them but they come with the car with new clips if you wish to reinstall them.

I have owned this car since 2001 and representing it the best I can.

The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction anytime. 

This is an auction and I will not reveal the reserve.

Dodge Journey gets more SUV-like look with new Crossroad model

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Looking to play up its aging three-row crossover, Dodge will introduce a new model for its Journey franchise at next week's Chicago Auto Show. The 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad will be a new trim level positioned between the SXT and Limited, and it will be distinguished from other Journey models thanks to a handful of styling add-ons.
Plucking a page right out of the appearance playbook of the Ford Explorer Sport, the Journey Crossroad gets a meaner, more SUV-like demeanor. The Journey has often straddled the line between tall wagon and crossover, but this new trim goes a long way toward skewing its visuals toward the utility vehicle end of the spectrum. That's thanks largely to the Platinum chrome exterior trim on its roof rails and side sills, unique fascias, smoked headlights and taillights and, of course, those black 19-inch wheels. Inside, the Journey Crossroad will get a similar treatment, with darker, Liquid Graphite accents throughout the cabin, and the model will also come standard with leather seats (which Dodge says are a new design), and Chrysler's giant 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
The 2014 Journey Crossroad goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $24,995 (*not including $995 for destination) for the four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive model, but Dodge says that the model will also be offered with more power and capability from the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and all-wheel-drive. Scroll down for the full press release, and check back next week for our live coverage from Chicago.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
