1978 Dodge Magnum XE

Offered for sale is this rare, highly optioned 1978 Dodge Magnum XE 2D Coupe.  ALL original mid-size car in excellent condition. A near perfect, 100% complete, no rust at all, documented survivor (I am the third owner).  Copies of some of the original documentation (Bill of Sale, window sticker and consumer advertisement) will be included.  ONLY 36,650 original miles!!!  The exterior paint (charcoal gray - sunfire metallic) is in excellent original condition (no repaint).  A quick detail/buffing will make the car look brand new.  The landau T- Bar vinyl roof (silver) is in excellent condition as well.  The factory tinted glass and windshield are also in great condition, as are the T-tops.  There is some very minor damage on the front of the car (driver side), where the bottom of the head light surround is cracked and the top of the bumper has a slight 2" bend.  The chrome trim and bumpers are in great condition.  The original wheels and hubcaps (aluminum fascia) are in great condition.  The 360 V8 engine, 2 barell carburator and automatic torque flite transmission are all original and run as they should with no issues at all.  The car is a pleasure to drive.  The interior is light gray leather with recliner bucket seats, shag carpet (that's how it actually reads on the window sticker!) in gray.  Everything inside, the door panels, console, dash, etc. is in excellent condition, except for a couple of cracks on the steering wheel.  There is a blue cloth cover on the dash, but it's just to protect the dash.  There are too many options to list.  This car had just about everything on it from the factory.  Of course it has AC.  Hopefully you can read the window sticker I am posting if it's not too small. 

It is very hard, if not impossible to find a '78 or '79 Magnum in this condition.  You know what's available out there.  I am only selling due to a dire storage situation. The car is attractively priced and has a reasonable reserve (I am not willing to give it away though!).  It is well worth the investment and will be a very nice, smart addition to any car collection. 

NOTE: I also have a spare 1978 Magnum GT which is complete.  It could use an easy, inexpensive restoration.  It is a little too nice still to be used solely as a parts car, but could be if that's what one wanted.  I would sell the GT for $1750 (on a Bill of Sale only) to the Buyer of the XE.  It is always a good idea to have extra parts or a spare car when you own one of these rare classics as they only made them for two years.  The buyer might also get a better price on the transport if they pick up two cars at the same time; just thinking aloud.  Attention:  This car (GT) might be sold before the XE auction ends.

I also have some other spare parts (nothing NOS) available at a reasonable cost (A whole set of exterior trim, two tailight housings/lenses, two backup clear lenses, some interior panels, etc.).  If the winning bidder on the XE is at or close to what I am expecting for the XE AND also buys the GT for the price indicated above, I might provide all these extra parts at no extra cost! (spent more than $ 1000 on them, just for extras).   

A deposit of $520 is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal.  The remaining balance is due within 48 hours via Bank Wire.  The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location.  Car(s) sold as is.  All sales are final - no refunds, returns or exchanges.

Please feel free to email with any questions.

Thank you for looking!

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk

Fri, 09 May 2014

Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.
