1967 Dodge Dart Pro-touring Restomod on 2040-cars
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States
Up for sale is one of the finest ’67 Dodge Darts you will ever find. This vehicle has well over 2,000 hours invested in the mockup, body & paint, wiring, assembly and road testing. As you can see from the photos, the details reflect the time spent in making the car a well-balanced and well engineered road machine. This vehicle was built in order to show the craftsmanship and attention to detail available at Fast Freddie’s Rod Shop in Eau Claire, WI as well as to showcase some of the latest components available in the automotive aftermarket. This has been the display vehicle at Fast Freddie’s for the last year two years and now it’s time for someone else to enjoy and appreciate this incredible machine. This car was built to be driven from coast to coast in modern comfort with A/C, power rack & pinion steering, comfortable bucket seats, 4-wheel disc brakes, a hush-matted interior and a killer audio system. Although the engine dyno’d at 555 HP and 650 lb./ft. of torque, it still runs on 92 octane pump gas and backed by a Keisler-built Tremec TKO 600 5-speed, it will cruise 65 mph @ 2,000 RPM, making it the ultimate Power Tour car. Pictures do not do the body & paint finish justice, but you can get an idea of how flat the panels are and how well everything lines up. This is a testament to all the time spent mocking up the panels, drivetrain, and steering & suspension to ensure a perfect, well engineered fit after paint. Nearly 500 hours alone were spent in the engine bay smoothing the firewall, hiding A/C lines, routing wiring and making all the pieces look like they belong together. Check out this video of Fast Freddie's Rod Shop to see the car in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7nRmQqmPXo Here is the car featured in both Mopar Muscle Magazine and Car Craft Magazine: http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehicles/ccrp_1101_fred_kappus_1967_dodge_dart/viewall.html The car has taken several best in show overall trophies as well as best in show paint.

2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi
Thu, 06 Feb 2014Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.
Buyer says Dodge dealer gave him wrong Charger, failed to notice for 2 months
Wed, Dec 31 2014Mistakes happen, and they happen all the time. But when that mistake means a customer doesn't get what he or she paid for, something's gotta give. That's what one Dodge Charger buyer claims he is trying to sort out with his local dealership. Two months after taking delivery, the owner (going by the user name Dakrbouncer4689 on Reddit) says he got a call from his local Dodge dealership reporting a little problem. He had ordered and paid for the Charger SXT (pictured above on the dealer lot), but was given a Charger SE instead. The SE being the lower trim level, this presented one set of problems – namely a $2,000 discrepancy in equipment, like a five-speed automatic versus an eight-speed, a 4.3-inch infotainment display instead of 8.4, heated seats, leather steering wheel, premium audio, remote starter and so on. The second set of issues is that the VIN number on the paperwork (including the registration and insurance papers) of course doesn't match that of the car itself. The dealer, having obviously made a rather large mistake, apparently called the owner in to sort out the mess, but according to the customer's account, things didn't go as smoothly. Instead of immediately working to address the problem, the salesman kept the owner waiting, acted like it was no big deal, and offered only to swap the cars with no compensation for the trouble. Fortunately, the manager proved more sympathetic and apologetic, and offered the customer three options: he could swap the cars (re-doing the tinted windows on the SXT that the customer had done on the SE and throwing in leather seats for free), he could keep the SE (with the dealership handling the paperwork, throwing in the leather seats, adjusting the price and refunding an extra $400), or they could cancel everything, return the car and part company. As we go to press, the Charger owner had yet to make (or at least share) his decision. But while the principle of caveat emptor makes us wonder how he managed to take home a different car from the one he paid for, clearly the salesman and the dealership made a pretty large mistake by presenting him with the wrong set of keys and letting him off the lot without double checking it all.
