Nashville Nationals May 16, 17, & 18 at LP Field, Tennessee Titan Stadium, 1
Titans Way, Nashville, TN 37213. It will

e-bay auction. Thank you for taking the time to
learn about my 1970 Dodge Charger - General Lee In 1970, the Charger changed slightly from the previous
1968 and 1969 models. This would be the last year of the 2nd generation Charger
and featured a large wraparound chrome bumper and the grille was no longer
divided in the middle. New electric headlight doors replaced the old vacuum style.
The taillights were similar to those used in 69, but 500 and R/T models came
with a new more attractive taillight panel. When I took possession of the car a
few days before Christmas 2013, It supposedly only needed a few things that
could be accomplished with a couple of weekends worth of work. This of course turned out not to be
true. The previous owner told me the 318 engine and TorqueFlite trans both had less than 5k miles since being rebuilt. The motor checked out fine and runs
great. The transmission was another
story. I had to have a reputable
transmission shop go through it and do a rebuild. (April 2014) Prior to me purchasing the car the
previous owner performed the following: ·
2 NEW Quarter panels installed ·
New windshield installed ·
New gas tank and sender unit
installed ·
New Falcon racing tires mounted on correct
General Lee Wheels ·
New Engine and Trans mounts
installed ·
New carpet and Dyno Mating installed It reportedly only needed the drive
shaft to be shortened (Because the motor and trans had come out of a running,
driving dodge pick-up truck), brakes, headlights and finishing of wiring. The car now runs and drives fine. As I mentioned before the, I the transmission rebuilt. I had to purchase a new carburetor. The brakes were a nightmare, but are now all new, including a new master cylinder. I installed brand new exhaust from the manifolds back, and installed a working Dixie horn. The previous owner told me he had over $15,000 into it, and I believe it. I have about $5000 more into it. I realize this is not a $20,000 car, but it is a real 1970 Dodge Charger that came with air-conditioning from the factory. The paint and body work are extremely amateur and it looks like a General Lee after it has been jumped a few times. The car is a lot of fun to drive around town and everyone wants to take a picture with it. Starts, runs and stops good. Thanks for looking |

Dodge gives 2015 Viper slight power increase, new GT model
Tue, 02 Sep 2014With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days.
First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard.
Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.
Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Watchers of the auto industry will notice a theme among the formerly bankrupted American automakers, General Motors and Chrysler. There are the post-bankruptcy vehicles, and the pre-bankruptcy vehicles. The former, in the case of Chrysler, include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as the 200 and 300. For GM, there's the Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Impala and Buick Encore, among others. These vehicles have the freshest styling, with sharp exteriors and well-crafted interiors, as well as advanced powertrains and well-sorted chassis.
As for the pre-bankruptcy vehicles, they tend to be easy to spot. Most suffer from inferior driving dynamics, cheaper interiors, poorer fuel economy and often homely looks (we know, there were some decent cars before the bankruptcy, but they were pretty heavily outweighed by the bad ones). Think late, last-generation Chevrolet Impala or Chrysler 200. Increasingly, though, we're seeing vehicles that split the balance between pre- and post-bankruptcy. Vehicles like the Dodge Journey.
The Journey debuted in 2007 as a 2008 model year vehicle, meaning it should fall into the latter category. But heavily breathed upon in 2011, it now enjoys a new, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a big, critically acclaimed touchscreen display and in the case of today's tester, a new-for-2014 Crossroad spec.
