1960 Dodge Pioneer
Offered for sale is this extremely rare 1960 Dodge Pioneer 2 door post. This was the very first year for the Dodge Dart and the uni-body construction. This beautiful example from the Chrysler Design Team of yesteryears, although pretty much the last year for the big fins from Mr. Exner's vision. This stunning automobile shows only 44,069 low miles on the odometer (unknown for sure if the mileage is original, but the condition of the car certainly does support the low mileage, as does the statement from the previous owner).
This very nice and rare Mopar did receive a very substantial cosmetic restoration a few years ago by the previous owner who had purchased the car in the early 70's. The car was repainted it's original color, a spruce green metallic with a white top. Most of the chrome was re-plated and the stainless steel trim work was polished. The interior was completely re-done as well, in a light jade green that very nicely compliments the attractive two-tone paint scheme. After enjoying the car for awhile, the owner put it in storage for a few years. The exterior paint still looks amazing, but there are a couple of very minor blemishes, scratches and imperfections that are normally seen on older restored drivers. The bumpers, sill plates and other components were re-chromed again last year and are absolutely gorgeous. All the stainless steel and aluminum trim is in excellent shape. Some of the pot metal has very minor pitting which is normal and to be expected on any older car.
The 318 V8 engine fires right up and purrs like a kitten. The push button Power Flite automatic transmission shifts very smoothly. The car runs and drives really, really nicely and is an absolute pleasure to drive. All the brakes were rebuilt by the previous owner a couple of years ago (new wheel cylinders, shoes, rebuilt mast cylinders, etc.). The glass is in great condition and most of the weather strip seals and rubber were replaced. All the electrical components work, except the radio. Even the foot pedal operating the windshield wipers works!
The aftermarket "mag" wheels and near new steel belted Kelly Charger P225 70 R 15 tires are a nice cosmetic and utilitarian addition to this very sharp looking car. I don't have the original wheels, but I have the original tires (Remington Cushion-Aire Poly 4ply Polyester Tubeless 478)! and they have very good tread still, but are quite a bit older and probably should only be used for display or collecting purposes. I also have a set of four original14" hubcaps, which the previous owner had left in the trunk. I think the car would look even better and more original with the hubcaps and while walled tires. A set of 14" steel wheels should not be too hard to find.
This very nice and attractive classic car does not need much, if anything at all and is ready to go as a great and enjoyable driver. You are welcome to come and inspect the car for yourself and appreciate it. A copy of the older - but original - build sheet found in the car will also be included! This gorgeous automobile is attractively and reasonably priced and has an easily attainable and equally reasonable reserve as well.
This older restored Mopar - First year of the Dodge Dart - is well worth the investment and will be a very nice and smart addition to any car collection. You would be hard pressed to find AND restore a car at this price level and enjoy if immediately as a really cool driver that you can take to cruises, car shows, etc.
A $520 non-refundable deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction payable via PayPal, with the remaining balance due within 48 hours via Bank Wire. Car is sold as-is, sale is final with no return or refund. Buyer is responsible for all transportation and pick-up arrangements and associated costs to their location. Vehicle must be picked up within seven to ten days after the end of the auction. Extra time may be made available if necessary depending on the buyer's needs such as exporting.
Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle
Thu, 07 Nov 2013The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.
The Dodge Demon's massive hood scoop sucks air like a jet intake
Thu, Feb 9 2017You 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:
McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
