1970 Dodge Dart Swinger Hardtop 2-door 5.9 No Reserve on 2040-cars
Oswego, Illinois, United States
|
Bid to win this beautiful 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
tribute, originally a 318 car which was disassembled back in the early eighties
to be restored. The car changed hands three times without ever getting the
attention it deserved.. I bought the car about two years ago in primer (new
rear quarters installed) as a shell along with a truck load of parts in boxes.
I believe the car would have ended up as scrap as this owner was also
overwhelmed and was the next in line to give up on the project. I have four
other cars in various stages of restoration, however I couldn’t let this one
just disappear. So I spent the better part of the last two years painstakingly sorting,
cleaning and reconditioning parts and reassembling this gorgeous piece of
history. It now wears a beautiful brilliant orange paint job which
looks amazing from close up. I would consider the paint an 8 out of 10? It
looks far better than a driver quality, but is not completely flawless. The
bumpers have been painted to match. It stands out as one of the nicer cars at
most cruise night events. Under the hood sits a completely rebuilt late 70’s 360 with
a 340 intake and a, brand new Holley 650, mild cam and headers. Still has its
original low mile 904 transmission which was freshened (new converter) up along
with the 8 3/4 factory original rear end. All suspension parts were replaced as were all brake parts.
(4 wheel drum) The interior is original to the car as well, however the
seats dyed black and the door panels and headliner were replaced. All looks
very presentable. Factory rally wheels with newer Kelly Brand radials. The car is 98% finished but needs about $300.00-$500.00
worth of small items to be 100% complete Heater box not in the car (delete plate) I have some of
those pieces would take very little to install it. Wiper switch, glove box latch and few interior trim piece
missing (all still available) Like I said, would take very little to finish or drive it
and enjoy the way it is. I need the garage space for other projects I’m
involved in, so this one must go! The car starts and runs perfectly and can be driven
anywhere. I have about $15000.00 invested not including my time.. Clean clear Illinois title in my name. I COMPLETELY recommend a personal inspection!!!! I don’t
want and disappointments. NO RESERVE!!!!!! JUST LISTED LOCALLY, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY I may consider 68-72 Mopar, 67-70 Camaro project trades... Call with questions 630-999-3114 Mike |

Roadkill builds crazy-cheap 1968 Dodge Charger rat rod using an old motorhome
Tue, 24 Dec 2013Certain requests for description simply cannot be fulfilled, like if someone asked you to describe Picasso's Guernica or Gilliam's Brazil. There is only one appropriate answer to such entreaties, and that is: "You just gotta see it." That's where we are with the latest episode of Roadkill, wherein Messr's Freiburger and Finnegan dig out a 1968 Dodge Charger that Freiburger acquired in exchange for a set of cylinder heads, and intend to stuff it with the big-block motor from a long-bed, three-quarter ton Dodge pickup.
Only the pickup is too nice to tear apart, and the Charger needs a whole lot more lovin' - and parts - than initially expected. Enter, stage right, the Class A Dodge Pace Arrow motorhome with a 440 big-block purchased for $1,000, and a retired Plymouth Fury from a previous episode.
What ensues over the course of the 40-minute installment is more cuttin', yankin', leakin', stallin', hammerin' and smokin' action than you've seen in a long time, and some techniques that would have made even Cooter wonder, "I'm not sure if we should do that." By the end, though, the payoff is good enough to make you think about perusing AutoTrader for a '68 Charger just to see if maybe...
Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
