78 Dodge Magnum GT. Original 400 4bbl, auto.  Previous owner claimed it has a rebuilt engine and I agree. It has never given me any trouble. Runs strong and sounds awesome with the big block rumble. Runs cool. Engine compartment is very clean.

Originally a black car. Has been repainted on an arrow straight (rust and bondo free) body. Has original GT flares and a Magnum Force rear spoiler with graphics.  Interior is gorgeous red velour. Not velvet! Original material used by Chrysler, with Pentastars sewn into front headrests. Dash has 2 small cracks, otherwise interior is perfect! T Tops work perfectly and lock solid. Doors do not hang. Perfect original headliner.

All lights work as they should. Brakes work great. Power windows work. Has factory CB, AM/FM radio! Carpet has no tears. Trunk is as solid as day one. No rust anywhere on car!!  Tires are like brand new and are mounted on 15" Chrysler cop car rims with chrome centercaps. New 15" spare.  Bumpers have been powder coated black. Hood and trunk open and close nicely.

Dual exhaust sounds awesome and ends up with roadrunner "Machine Gun" tips. Rides very smoothe and drives straight down the road. Good suspension.

The few imperfections are windshield has crack, front bumper has a scratch on top, small dent (the size of a quarter) on right side of roof which would be covered if the GT roof stripe was added, headlight doors work manually but motor not working, have never troubleshot it, windshield wipers inop (never troubleshot either) may be disconnected under dash.  Speedo bounces, I think is loose under dash. This is all I can think of that it needs, nothing major.

This car is car show ready and stands out from the crowd where ever you drive it. I believe you could drive it home, but imply no warranty (also, you would only get maybe 12mpg highway) its a musclecar!! So I'd advise trailering, but thats up to the winner.

Again, I have been as honest as I can and will be glad to aswer anything I may have missed, Greg 505-463-5829 call or text. I will answer.  I am selling this car because I am moving and must travel lightly. Low reserve, so I am needing to sell.

Man hits 153 mph on I-75 in Dodge Magnum

Tue, May 19 2015

A man driving in Michigan took his 2005 Dodge Magnum practically to the limit in the wee hours of the morning on May 19 when the Michigan State Police caught him on radar going 153 miles per hour on Interstate 75 near Detroit. The 21-year-old driver was spotted around 3:00 AM, according to The Detroit News. Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Michael Shaw told Autoblog that officers initially saw the man on radar doing 79 mph in a 70-mph-zone, and they started following him. He eventually clocked 153 mph. However, First Lt. Shaw was clear that there was never a pursuit. "Speeding isn't necessarily a reason to put the public at risk," he said. The situation ended rather abruptly, though. The driver pulled off the interstate and behind a building. He remained in the vehicle, and police arrived and arrested him. According to First Lt. Shaw, the man was driving home from work and alcohol wasn't a factor. The Magnum has been impounded, and the driver was charged with reckless driving. Unfortunately, First Lt. Shaw said that he didn't know what engine was in the wagon, but as enthusiasts, we're curious. After all, the 2005 Magnum RT was governed to 130 mph and the SRT8 wasn't unleashed until 2006, which means either the wagon must've been derestricted to hit such high speeds or that police have the year wrong. We'll let you know if we figure that one out...

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014


Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.

Dukes of Hazzard reruns dropped amid Confederate flag controversy

Thu, Jul 2 2015

Those Duke boys are in a mess of trouble again, as TV Land announced Wednesday that it will be dropping the classic 1980s action-comedy the Dukes of Hazzard from its roster. But it may not be Bo and Luke's fault this time. Rather, it appears to be the changing political landscape. Entertainment Weekly reached out to TV Land, which is devoted to airing episodes of classic TV series, but it had no further comment. While the network didn't say why the episodes were removed, EW speculates that the cancellation is part of the reaction to the racially motivated murder of nine people in a historic black church in Charleston, SC, last month. The shooter was often photographed carrying a Confederate flag and other trappings of white supremacy. Since the tragedy, Confederate flags are being dropped from state houses, license plates, and toys. Last month, Warner Bros. said it would stop producing toys featuring the rebel flag, including a die cast miniature version of the Dukes of Hazzard's trademark ride, The General Lee, which was a bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag plastered to the roof. The same week as the shooting, the Supreme Court decided that states can reject license plates featuring the stars and bars as part of the states' right to free speech. Nine states currently use the flag in license plates, and the ruling will allow Texas, North Carolina, and Tennessee to remove the motif from their state's plates. Georgia is also considering redesigning its plates in the wake of the shooting. For our younger readers, the Dukes Of Hazzard was a television show that aired from 1979 to 1985 on CBS. It feature the antics of the Duke boys in a fictional place called Hazzard County, GA. Related Video:
