1972 Dodge Dart Custom Sedan 4-door 3.7l on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
|
Hello all I have for sale here a NICE 1972 4 door dodge dart custom with a clear title in my name. It is currently registered and insured and driven often. So the mileage will change by the time you see it, but right now it is at 84,752 original miles. I think I am the second owner of this car. It came from Temple city, California literally from a little old lady that obviously kept it, at minimum, under a carport its whole life, if not garaged.
Here is a video I did of the car after I had the A/C installed and the paint buffed out, but before I put the Cragars on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MhxP3vNCPk I have done extensive work on this car and spent way more than I originally intended, but it has turned out very nice and is my daily driver. It is very civilized and drives very very good. If you drive mellow you can get up to 20 mpg. If you are doing 80 all day it will be more like 16 due to the lower gearing. It pulls really good and has no problem keeping up with traffic and being that it has modern A/C you won't die in summer bumper to bumper either. This is truly a jump in a drive car that can go right now. Engine: 225 Slant 6 Transmission: 904 automatic Column shift Everything I mention below is at max a year old. The Engine, Drive-train and Interior upgrades include: Clifford Intake manifold with Weber Carburetor / still have the original intake Clifford 2 piece headers that feed into dual 2 1/4 Magnaflow turned down at the axle / still have original exhaust Pertronix electronic ignition/easily converted back to points if you wish New Alternator Aluminum Radiator with dual electric fans(one pusher and one puller) Complete after market A/C system from Classicautoair.com/still have original working heater box. There are new gaskets all over the engine. Nothing drips or leaks. New radiator and power steering(just the high pressure side) hoses. New brake booster and master cylinder/ still have the original New KYB shocks on all 4 corners Added a front sway bar and OMG! what a difference it has made, the car turns like it is on rails Brand new Leaf Springs in back, with shackles to raise or lower the rear The drive shaft has been balanced and new u joints Rear seal on the Transmission replaced at this time. New timing cover Gasket Tires are still excellent 195 series, the car will easily take up to 215's on all 4 Rims are vintage 80's Cragars on a 5x4 bolt pattern, these are hard to find in such good condition. The lug nuts are even harder to find. I have the car lowered a little in the front and rear but since it has adjustable torsion bars in front and adjustable shackles in the rear you can easily change the height to suit you with a jack and basic hand tools. No spring cutting necessary. Bushings and tie rods up front are new. Steering box is new and the alignment done. On the inside you will find new carpet, new headliner, new steering wheel/have the original, nice used bucket seats from an intrepid/have the original bench seat. A complete Kenwood sound system and M T X sub woofer/I have the original but not sure if it works. It sounds very nice. It also has usb and aux for use with smart devices as well as blue tooth for phone. All lights wipers blinkers and switches work perfect. Head light switch comes off when you pull it but you can still easily turn on the headlights. The tint on the car is limo all around. It is great for hot summer days and makes the car look killer. The only things on the car that I would say it needs are; Dash: has a bad crack right in the middle but has a dash cover on it now. Body: Has some very minor scrapes that I have tried to depict in the pictures. I love the color of the car and I like the patina that the paint shows and actually the paint is in very good shape for it's age. Also I have the trim piece for the front right fender sitting in the trunk. The front end is still a little tight from all the new stuff but is starting to loosen up. I have it lubed every couple of months. There is absolutely zero rust on the car. When I put the carpet in a couple of months ago I was amazed! The floor of the car looks literally factory brand new. The trunk is the same. Drip rails and windows also the same. Shipping: I can deliver the car to a shipper arranged by the buyer if it is within 20 miles of 91107, otherwise it is the responsibility of the buyer to pick up in Pasadena, CA. Payment: I will need to be paid in full with in 5 days of the end of the auction and of course before I turn over the car to you. |

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
FCA is setting a five-year strategy: Here's how the last one played out
Thu, May 31 2018We're slightly more than four years removed from Sergio Marchionne last five-year plan for FCA, a tell-all where the Italian-American automaker divulged its plans for the 2014 through 2018 model years. It was a grand affair, where Sergio told FCA investors that all was right in Auburn Hills, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were making comebacks, and the fifth-gen Dodge Viper received a mid-cycle refresh. You can read every last one of those past predictions right here. We're on our way to Europe to see Sergio's sequel, coming out Friday straight from FCA's Italian headquarters. (Bloomberg reports a plan to expand Jeep and Ram globally, combine Alfa Romeo and Maserati into a single division for an eventual spinoff, and downsizing Fiat and Chrysler. Also, EVs.) But before we arrive in Italy and find out exactly what Marchionne has planned for 2019 through 2023 as his last act as CEO, let's take a minute to tally up the results of his last term based on the same scoresheet we used in 2014. Now, we're only five months into 2018, so much of this — including vehicles like the Ram HD and Jeep Grand Wagoneer — could still debut this year. For those, we'll mark things TBD. We're not going to draw any conclusions or make any objectionable remarks. We're simply going to let the stats speak for themselves.
