1976 was the final production year for this classic American car, and it also was the lowest production year for generation 4 Darts (only 8,937 Dodge Dart Swingers were produced in '76) in North America. While this particular car has its imperfections, it is very solid and fun to drive. We simply do not have room for 4 cars, so it's time has come for our family to part with it.

Why bid on a Dart without getting the full story? I want you to know what to expect 100% with this Mopar classic.

This car runs good and is a reliable starter. It was bought for my wife to use as a daily driver for her work commute, and from the driver side it looks great! :)

Ok, it has some body damage on the passenger side from an accident that happened before we bought the car. The exterior is has signs of wear and I'm assuming it's the original paint job. There are little dings, scratches and other signs of use over the life of the car. The chrome is in ok shape, with very little pitting. The vinyl top is in excellent condition and was replaced by the previous owner, it really looks sharp. The aluminum trim is all there, is also in good shape, and there isn't any rusting where it meets the sheet metal. There are no exterior signs of rust. The rubber trim that runs along the side of the body has been removed, and it shows in the finish. Besides the aging paint and accident damage, the car actually looks really good.

Mechanically, the car is sound and drives smooth like a 318 with a torqueflite should. The engine and transmission are stock. All 4 tires are practically new. To be expected, there is play in the steering and a leak in the power steering should be noted. The battery is new. Alternator is recent. Brakes about 15,000 miles ago. Recent catalytic converters. The dual exhaust sounds good, not loud. Replaced rear shocks. Cooling system in good shape. Original a/c is present, disconnected and working condition is unknown. Car has original jack and a spare in the trunk. The speedometer or cable either needs attention, as it gets a little squeaky and goofy in the 65mph range. Turn signals, lights, horns and wipers work, but washer fluid pump does not. The doors and locks are all solid. The glass is in good shape all around. Weatherstripping is mostly all there and varies from good, to delicate to missing in one spot. All the windows except the rear passenger side function properly, it slips and needs help when rolling up. The car is equipped with a secret kill switch/relay to the battery. It just passed CA smog.

The interior is in decent shape and it feels good to sit inside. The seats are in beautiful condition and have a couple of very small, easy to repair punctures. The vinyl on the dash has no cracks, is in good shape, as are the door panels, which are very clean. The carpet was replaced by the previous owner, but could do with a cleaning in the front. It would look good with a little shampoo. There's a radio with cassette player that is as good as not having one. The driver's seatbelt needs repair/replacement. A couple knobs inside need replacement. The headliner has cracks and chips. There is some corrosion in the trunk, under the rubber matt on the pan. The rest of the trunk looks great.

This listing is for car with a salvage title that we bought in 2008. I wish I could tell you why the car was given a salvage title, but best guess is a passenger side collision. It seems probable the cost of the body damage repair was estimated at more than the cost of the vehicle, so it was considered totaled. **However, I do not know for sure.** I do know it has never given any reason to think otherwise. The frame is straight and the damage, from what I can tell is purely cosmetic.

Buyer pays shipping. I will happily help load or help coordinate with shipping if necessary. Cashier's check, cash, or Paypal accepted. $500 deposit required within 48 hours of auction closing. Full payment due within 7 days of auction closing. Vehicle AS-IS, no warrantee.

This auto has been recently detailed, presently stored in a garage and ready to cruise!

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
