I have had this car since 2004 and will describe it to the very best of my ability.  I am not real eager to sell, but other things have priorities.  This is a 1969 dodge charger, was a factory ac car, but ac is long gone.  I have a non ac heater box that will go with the car, but it is not installed.  I never drove the car in cold weather so I never installed it.  So no heat, no air.  Original engine was a 383 2 barrell.  Now has a 1969 440 hp motor.  Rear end is a 3:55 suregrip, automatic transmission.  vin matches title, dash trunk lip and radiator support. clean, clear title.

Ok good points.  Engine was rebuilt and I have put just over 2000 miles on it.  transmission was rebuilt as well.  Brand new sure grip rear end installed last summer.  I have about 500 miles on it.  Gas tank , sending unit, all lines are new.  Car has 4 wheel drum brakes,  all new lines, booster, master cylinder and brake components.  Could stop better, but it is a drum brake car.  All the wiring is new from Year one. that includes dash harness rear light harness , forward light harness, all of them.  I spent lotsa money on factory wiring for this car.  Alternator, starter, hp manifolds, power steering pump, radiator, are all new and also from year one.  Paint is about 2 years old. It isnt a show car paint job, but is very presentable.    I had trunk pan , extensions, and rear crossmember replaced.  Both rear quarters were replaced, prior to my ownership.  vaccum headlights work as they should.  I installed dynamat on the door panels and floor boards as well as new carpert and new center console.  Exhaust system was installed last year with dynamax mufflers.  Not a concourse factory job, but its ok. 

Bad points.  The front end is original and has not been changed, at least to not  my knowledge.  The car drives straight without any issues, but it was my intent to have it upgraded eventually.  It needs a rear leaf spring shackle bushing installed on the drivers side.  The interior is all original.  and looks ok.  I would probably only replace the seat covers and the headligner.  There is a mouse hole under the passenger side sunvisor.  Look at the pics and you can tell.  Not bad, but to be perfect, they need changed, but perfectly fine for me now as a driver car. missing back cover on passenger seat.  Door panels are nice as well as the door pads, especially for 45 years old.  windows all roll up and down fine, except the right rear. It works, but needs guided with your hand.  It has a bad nylon roller,  Not a big issue, expecially being a general lee, but wanted to point it out.  radio is an am radio and is for looks.  I wanted the factory appearance, but really have no desire for am radio.  It does leak some oil and the power steering box recently started leaking, Iam pretty sure from the rear seal needs replaced.  Not a major issue for as often as I drive the car, but I wanted to point them out. 

General lee stuff.  It has high quality decals installed a year ago, push bar and roll bar are an exact match from the show.  Cb is the cobra 78x as the original general lees, it is mounted but not wired to the car.  has  the correct tear drop antenna.  Wheels are american racing vecors 8.5 on the rear with 245 60 r 15 bfg and 15x7 up front running 235 60 r 15.  Tires are all in good shape,  Same 2000 miles on them.  The sunvisors were signed by john schneider on the drivers side and tom wopat on the passenger side.  The tail lights are from a Original tv series general lee and have the plaque mounted on them from when they were purchased from warner bros.  Has the dixie horn, but factory horn is still functional. 

All in all it is a very nice driver General Lee that gets tons of attention and blows away other cars at the car shows.  It is a blast for sure.  I usually just drive it around locally, and have not driven it on any where more than a 60 mile round trip, so whether or not you can pick it up and drive it home across country.   Your guess is as good as mine.  I wouldnt, but thats just me.

I think I have covered it pretty well, althogh I am sure Iam forgetting something.  if you have any questions or need additional pics please email me.

I require a $250 dollar non refundable deposit immediately after the auction closes. 

If you want to inspect it before you bid, that is fine, and I encourage it.

Prefer cash pickup in person, but  if you have it shipped, I will not release the car until the entire purchase price clears the issuers bank.

Thank you

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.

Mopar '13 Dart priced from $25,485*

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

For the past few years, Chrysler's Mopar in-house tuning division has created its own one-off versions of several cars in the automaker's portfolio, including the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and Mopar '12 300. For 2013, the black-and-blue up-do has been given to the new Dart compact, and Chrysler has announced that the limited-edition sedan is now available for order, priced from $25,485, not including *$995 for destination.
Like previous Mopar edition vehicles, the Dart is painted in a signature Pitch Black exterior with an offset blue racing stripe. The sedan sits seven millimeters lower to the ground and gets visual add-ons like a chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, along with gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.
Performance wise, the Dart's 1.4-liter MultiAir inline four-cylinder engine remains, producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The Mopar car gets a sport-tuned exhaust system along with revised power steering calibration and beefier brakes.
