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.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?
Tue, 19 Nov 2013The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.
Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
Redonkulous Dodge Charger is ridin' high
Wed, 18 Sep 2013We're a bit hazy on the styling of this particular donk, which was recently spotted hashing about by HotCarsTV at the Southern Heritage Classic Car show in Memphis. Sporting a dope paint job and some wheels that make a blunt statement about what the driver enjoys, it's a unique take on the popular customizing trend.
The owner may be kiefing it real with the theme on this Dodge Charger, but when your car looks like this, it's easy to weed out from the crowd. Chronic police stops must also make it a pain to drive on a regular basis, though. Even with the big wheels, we bet the driver still finds time to light 'em up. Take a look down below for a brief video of this outrageous mean green machine on the road.
