If you are looking for a beautiful original 69 Dart Swinger 340, I have the one for you. This car had been stored for 12 or so years before I purchased it from a collector. I have owned the car for about two years now. It has not been restored, but has been repainted at least once sometime in the past. Since I got it, I have done many cosmetic and mechanical improvements on it to get it to the condition it is currently in. However, no body work of any kind has been done on the car. Upgrades from stock are an Edelbrock Performance Series Carb, a Rev-n-ator Electronic ignition box, a Dodge Wood Grain Steering Wheel and an aftermarket radio with casette player which was installed back in the day. I have the original carb and steering wheel which will be included. The car is numbers matching engine, transmission and rear end, a 3:55 positraction unit. The pictures show what the conditon is. Excellent. There is one minor dent in the trunk lid, which I attempted to photograph. You have to look at it from just the right angle to even pick it up, but it is there. I do not have documentation to verify the mileage not do I have the broadcast sheet, but there are many indicators in regard to wear that tell me that it is pretty close if not right on. In addition, the fender tag and other stampings are in order. This is by far the best running and driving A body mopar that I have owned, it is fun to drive and a great performer, especially with the installation of the hot firing Rev-N-ator box. The addition of electronic ignition makes a great improvement in performance and the new carb gets much better gas mileage as long as you aren't in the back barrels. There are two other minor fixes needed that I am aware of. One, the heater motor is noisy and the defrost tube to the driver's side is missing. That's all I know of. I purchased a new blower motor for the heater just in case, but it has not been installed, but will be included. I don't have a defrost hose however. This car is just a real pleasure to drive and it really is a sharp looker. Exhaust mufflers are new, new leaf springs were installed, front end parts replaced, brakes gone through. Whatever it has needed it has gotten, even a couple of outer trim pieces that were already good but not excellent have been replaced. You will not be disappointed with this car in any way if you choose to be the new owner. The reserve is reasonable, far less than I have invested in this beauty. I would like it to go to someone who will preserve it's originality and enjoy it as much as I have.

Highway To Hellcat: Dallas to Vegas with 2,000 HP
Thu, Jan 15 2015Fort Davis, TX. Early November. Late Sunday afternoon. The 1,200 residents of this small town are using their day of rest to quietly enjoy the breeze rolling off the hills. There's an older couple walking down the street, holding hands. A young lady working at a general store, where milkshakes and antacids are purchased at the same counter. It's a peaceful, quaint scene, right down to the tumbleweed rolling across the street and the rickety wooden porches outside the old storefronts. I hit the throttle of the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat while turning left onto the road leading toward the town square, sending the sedan's rear end swinging to the right with a few puffs of rubbery smoke. I coast down to the 25-mile-per-hour speed limit and spot the line of Challengers, Chargers, and Vipers in my rear-view mirror, the drivers all mimicking my quick jolt of enthusiasm before pulling up the reigns on their V8s and V10s and idling into Fort Davis. Our posse would roll some 5,000 horsepower of pure American muscle into that small Texas town that day. It was only the first stop on an epic journey that would take us from Dallas to Las Vegas, on a winding route down toward El Paso, up through New Mexico, Arizona, and finally north into Nevada, ending at the ritzy Palazzo casino and hotel on the Vegas strip. It was an opportunity to see parts of America I never knew existed, and a chance to bond with some American cars that until recently, I sort of failed to understand. And most importantly it was an opportunity to drive really, really hard. Charging Through Texas Unless you've driven across it, it's hard to understand the massive space that is Texas. In places, scanning 360 degrees of horizon reveals absolutely nothing. Nothing. On its own, driving from Dallas to El Paso covers some 630 miles. Veer south to Fort Davis and you'll add another 70 onto that, not including the 75-mile Davis Mountain Scenic Loop where I found bliss behind the wheel of this insanely powerful sedan. I always expected to like the Charger Hellcat – comfortable seating for four (five in a pinch), equipped with the latest tech, wrapped in a stylish yet muscular body, like a quarterback in a tux. And it moves. The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 pumps out 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, which makes for one quick sedan, especially considering its heft.
Hero gets his truck back better than new thanks to community support [w/video]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014You ever hear a story and start cringing before you hear the end because you know how it's going to turn out? That could very well have been the case with the story from a few weeks ago in West Valley City, Utah, where a 14-year-old kid stole his grandfather's Hyundai Veloster and took it for a joyride - through a park full of children. But instead it turned into a heart-warming tale of heroism and a community banding together to do what's right... and then some.
Bryson Rowley was that hero who identified the danger and, rather than sit idly by and watch the joyrider potentially run over a child, got into his truck and drove it into the menacing runaway hatchback. The collision caused some $7,500 to his 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, but instead of getting stuck with the bill - one which his insurance may very well have refused to pay since the crash was, technically speaking, intentional - his community pitched in a helping hand.
Bryan Ellison, who owns West Valley Carstar with his brother, saw the news on television and wanted to help. So he brought Rowley a rental car, picked up his truck and brought it back to his auto repair shop. People from around the community donated parts, and when all was said and done, some $15,000 of work and upgrades were performed on the Ram that was returned to an overwhelmed Bryson Rowley better than new. Watch the video below for the full story.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
