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.

Dodge Challenger Shaker cars get Shakedown package stripes

Thu, Mar 8 2018

In 2016, Dodge brought a custom 1971 Dodge Challenger to the SEMA show called the Shakedown. It melded modern Challenger parts with the classic model's body, and did so almost seamlessly. It of course featured a shaker hood scoop, and it also had a set of stripes to one side that gradually decreased in size to give the feeling of vibration and movement. The reception was clearly good, because Dodge has created a set of stripes just like those on the show car for modern shaker Challengers and made them available in a package with the Shakedown name. The Shakedown package is new for 2018 and available only on Challengers with the shaker hood scoop. These include the R/T Shaker, R/T Plus Shaker, and 392 Scat Pack Shaker. Just like on the concept, the stripes are all to one side and wrap around the hood scoop. The only difference is that they're all one color, whereas the '71 custom car had one stripe in red. In addition to the stripes, the package adds white-face gauges and an upgraded Alpine audio system. On R/T and R/T Plus models, this system has six speakers with a 275-watt amplifier, while the system on the Scat Pack has nine speakers with a 506-watt amplifier. The cost of the Shakedown package is $995, and it's available with any color of Challenger Shaker. And on the topic of colors, Dodge has also revived Plum Crazy and B5 Blue for 2018 Chargers and Challengers. Those colors will be available on any Charger or Challenger regardless of trim level.

FCA recalls 894k total vehicles worldwide in two campaigns

Fri, Oct 30 2015

FCA is recalling a total of 893,698 vehicles worldwide in two campaigns to fix problems with inadvertent airbag deployment, failure of the anti-lock brakes, and stability control systems in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Dodge Journey, and Fiat Freemont. 559,703 of these vehicles are in the US. The larger recall affects 284,089 examples of the 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and there are also 13,411 of them in Canada, 6,277 in Mexico, and 48,212 outside the NAFTA region. Because of "electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the airbag electronic control module", part of that component can fail, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This can cause the front and side airbags to deploy and the seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate inadvertently. FCA US has seven reports of alleged injuries from this problem. To fix the situation, the Jeeps need their Occupant Restraint Control modules replaced, as well as the front- and side-impact sensors. According to the NHTSA, the replacement parts won't be available until early 2016. Still, FCA US will advise owners about the problem in a letter by the end of December and will send a second notification when the components are ready. The second campaign affects 275,614 examples of the 2012-2015 Dodge Journey in the US; plus 78,148 of them in Canada, 36,471 in Mexico, and 151,476 left-hand drive units outside of NAFTA where it's sold as the Fiat Freemont. On these vehicles, water intrusion can disable the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control, although a warning light often illuminates when this issue occurs, and the problem doesn't affect regular braking. There are also no reports of injuries or accidents. To fix the issue, dealers will seal the ABS wiring harness and will replace any already affected components as necessary, like the ABS module or the headlamp and dashboard wiring harness. Statement: Occupant Restraint Control Modules October 30, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 284,089 older-model SUVs in the U.S. to replace their Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) modules and front and/or side-impact sensors, as required. Within this vehicle population, FCA US became aware of seven injuries caused by inadvertent air-bag deployments and advised NHTSA accordingly. The affected vehicles are not equipped with Takata Corp. air-bags. The Company is unaware of any related accidents.
