1978 Dodge Magnum GT Coupe
Offered for sale, this very rare 1978 Dodge Magnum GT. A true GT, even though the side emblems show XE (they all started as XE's). The original fender flares, aluminum dash and other features were only found and installed on the GT model. This magnum looks a bit tired and frumpy, but overall is in fair/good shape. It is straight, solid and with no apparent body damage. The paint is tired and does not shine anymore, and is faded and deteriorated somewhat on the hood and trunk as well as the flares (the previous owner had the car in Texas). There are some rust issues - mostly surface discoloration - but there are a couple of small holes on the floor pans (behind the driver seat). The worst is on the underneath of the trunk lid near the edge at the bottom (doesn't look too nice). The t-tops are in great shape, so is the glass and the windshield. The bumpers are straight and shinny and are in good shape. All the trim, stainless and aluminum, etc. is in very good shape and is straight and does not show any damage. the rear lenses are in very nice condition and the front lenses are fair/good condition, they should/could be buffed up. The wheels are fair, but show some rust here and there (two of the original wheels are in the trunk along with the bumpers guards). The tires are so-so (show some slight dry rot and/or wear). The interior is in fair to good condition. The dash and instrument panel, steering wheel, etc. are in nice condition (there are a few small cracks on the dash pad). The door panels, hard vinyl panels, etc. are in fair to nice condition, and are all there. The seats are in fair to good shape except for the driver seat, which should either be repaired and/or reupholstered. A set of seat covers might be good enough. The carpet will need to be replaced (it was removed by the previous owner). The 360 V8 engine starts, runs and sounds as it should. The car does drive ok on short distance drives or while moving it around (I have not driven it for any distance or on the highway). The brakes feel rather soft. I would highly recommend that the car be shipped or trailered to its new destination. Overall this is a car well worth restoring, way too nice and complete to be used only as a parts car. The car is attractively priced with a low/reasonable reserve.
These B Body Magnums are truly a collector car since they were only manufactured for two years (1978 and 1979). I had purchased this GT because of its rarity and also as a spare for my other 1978 Dodge Magnum 2Dr Coupe XE which is in remarkable and excellent original condition with only 36,500 miles. This Magnum XE is also for sale as well as many extra parts (exterior trimwork, extra tail lights, interior hard vinyl panels and trim, etc., etc.) that I had aquired to have as replacement parts on hand for these rare cars. The Magnum XE and the extra parts are not a part of this aucton, but are available for purchase upon inquiry.
Please note this car will be sold on a Bill of Sale only. A $520 deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal with the remainder of the balance due via Bank Wire or cash in person upon pick up. The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. Car is sold as-is and sale is final. Thanks for looking!

Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts
Tue, 08 Jul 2014When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
Dodge Grand Caravan to live in fleets through 2017
Mon, Jun 22 2015After a hard-working career of hauling around families for decades, the Dodge Grand Caravan name was set to retire in 2016 under FCA's five-year plan for the US. The decision would have put all of the automaker's focus behind the next-generation Chrysler Town & Country, but that original strategy might have changed. Now, Dodge's minivan may have to work just a few more years before it can finally shuffle off. There are set to be 2016 and 2017 model year examples of the current Grand Caravan, according to an internal FCA production document obtained by Automotive News. This report suggests no changes in the minivan between those two years, and there's no mention of the company's intentions deeper into the future. "While we've announced the Grand Caravan will eventually be the minivan that goes away, we're not going into more detail at this time," a Dodge spokesperson said to AN. For the next Town & Country, production would start in Windsor, Ontario, in late February 2016. This document also suggests a brief run of 2016 Chrysler minivans based on the current model from August 2015 until February 2016. Automotive News speculates that the reprieve for the Grand Caravan could allow that model to focus on fleets and the Canadian market while the new Town and Country gets up and running. The latest generation T&C will reportedly debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show and will possibly carry a higher price to befit a vehicle with a more modern platform and improved tech.
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
