1974 Dodge Dart Sport driven daily. This car has the 225 CID Slant-6 with rare and desirable 2bbl Super-Six setup with a manual choke that works well. It runs strong and smooth, 904 automatic transmission works well, shifts smoothly, no problems. The car has power steering with manual 10" drum brakes all the way around, and they stop the car fine. I have a JVC AM/FM/CD with audio input jack stereo mounted below the dash, the original radio is still in the dash. The heater and defrosters work fine. The 2 speed wipers work like they should as well.

Interior is reasonably nice, upholstery is good, carpet is new, door panels in average condition, headliner fabric was coming off so I removed the fabric, but the original fiberboard headliner backing is still in place. All gauges work as they should. All the lights (including the instrument lights) work fine. The dash is in good shape, the dash pad is in good shape too.

The body is probably average or better for its age - perhaps because it has been in California its whole life. There is however one small area of rust on the extreme bottom of the passenger side quarter panel behind the tire (see photo). As you can see in the pictures the car has small dings etc, and the paint (which is original) has faded away in some places to reveal metal. The floor pans, trunk floor, and frame rails are solid.

Since this is a '74 model NO SMOG is required in CA. I have a clean title in my name. Car is currently registered and insured. I bought the car from the original owner some years ago.

The following parts are new over the last year or so: passenger side mirror, master cylinder, battery, heater core, temperature sending unit, door window seals, fuel sending unit, fuel pump and hoses, carpet, and both fan and power steering belts.

Car is daily driven, but I would recommend an alignment and new tires before too long, The tires do have great tread, but are probably fairly old. They are size P195/75R14 all season tires with original hub caps.

This would make an awesome project for someone to make a V-8 muscle car out of, or continue to enjoy it as it is - it is up to you.

Please ask me any questions you may have and I will do my best to accurately answer them. Though I have done my best to be complete and accurate in my description, the car is 40 years old and is being sold as is.

Car is for sale locally also. I reserve the right to end the auction. Buyer is 100% responsible for pick-up, transportation, etc., of the vehicle., although I will work with your shipper if you are out of my area. Nonrefundable deposit of $500 via PayPal due within 24 hours of auction close. Balance may be paid via cash, certified check, or PayPal.

Consumer Reports says Ram 1500 tops fuel economy fight [w/video]

Wed, Aug 27 2014

Consumer Reports takes its independent vehicle testing procedures seriously. In an era when we have to question the EPA's official ratings thanks to recent re-evaluations from Ford and Hyundai, an independent voice is important. So, when CR says something is the best, it's worth paying attention to. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV." – Jake Fisher In this case, CR took a look at the fuel economy of the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and found that it came out on top of the fullsize pickup truck pack. The Ram did so with 20 miles per gallon overall and 27 mpg on the highway. CR gave the truck a total road test score of 82. The EPA says that the EcoDiesel 1500 gets 28 mpg on the highway, 20 mpg city and 23 mpg combined. Comparing official EPA numbers, the Ram is also the best among trucks in its class. It's nice when people agree on something. As we know from first-hand, long-distance experience, you can push the 1500 EcoDiesel to 38 mpg. CR found in its own testing that the truck had, "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV," said Jake Fisher, CR's director of automotive testing, in a statement. Speaking of midsized SUVs, CR also announced this week that the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid got the top spot in CR's ratings in that category. CR liked pretty much everything about the SUV, saying that the "transitions between electric power and the gas engine are seamless" and that, "the new Highlander also handles better, with a steadier ride and reduced body lean in corners."

RAM ECODIESEL 1500 TOPS CONSUMER REPORTS FULL-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK RATINGS Redesigned Toyota Highlander Hybrid Climbs to Top of Midsized SUV List Yonkers, N.Y.- The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel climbed to the top of Consumer Reports' full-size pickup truck ratings with an impressive performance in the organization's fuel economy tests. The EcoDiesel (82 point overall road test score) turned in a best-in-class fuel economy of 20 mpg overall and 27 mpg on the highway, to help it score better than the previously tested Ram 1500 V8 (81) regular gas version and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT (80).

121k Dodge Darts being investigated over braking problem

Mon, Jun 22 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the Dodge Dart due to reports of braking problems. Some 121,000 cars are possibly affected, all from the 2013 model year. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA received 18 complaints about the brake pedal becoming hard to depress on these cars, increasing stopping distance. Drivers reported hearing a "pop noise or an air hissing noise when applying the brake pedal, followed by a hard pedal feel and reduced brake effectiveness," NHTSA told the News. In a particularly terrifying incident, one driver says the Dart's braking system shut down while driving at 50 miles per hour. "I feared for my life. It is one of the scariest things I have ever dealt with," the complaint said, according to The Detroit News. A Fiat-Chrysler spokesperson said the automaker is "fully cooperating" with this investigation.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 raises $825,000 for charity

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

$60,000 doesn't strike us as a lot to pay for a muscle car with 707 horsepower on tap. $825,000... now that's a different story. But, according to the official SRT blog, that's how much one generous and eager buyer paid for the privilege of getting his (or her) hands on the very first new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Decked out in Stryker Red paint that's usually reserved for the Viper, the supercharged Challenger bearing the VIN 0001 went up for auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas on Saturday under the auspices of Barrett-Jackson. By the time bidding ended, the gavel dropped at $825,000 - nearly 14 times the sticker price - 100 percent of which will benefit Opportunity Vehicle, a charity that aids the intellectually handicapped in the Las Vegas Area.
