1970 Dodge Charger, General Lee Clone on 2040-cars

College Station, Texas, United States

1970 Dodge Charger, 383 car, cloned to the General Lee (but with a 70 grill).  Overall a very good driver, drum brakes, brand new tires, glass pack exhaust exhaust gives a strong sound to the car, dixie horn works great and is loud.

Mechanical:  Transmission seals take a little bit of time to engage when you first start the car and put it into reverse.  After it "pumps up" there is no problem, just you will experience a delay on start up.  I took it to a local shop that's been around a while, they told me it's a typical problem with the seals.  Again, after about 10-20 seconds and thereafter there is no problem, just at start-up only.  Shifter looks very nice, but is a little sloppy, probably could use adjustment.  The exhaust has the short "glass pack" type mufflers on it, so it ends about 3ft after the headers.  Sounds really good, not too loud but does rumble.  A/C does not work, Radio doesn't work, I think turn signals etc work, headlights do not currently work - wiring is there so should be something easy.  Headlight door motor is in the trunk, so you manually have to lift the headlight doors.  All pretty easy stuff to fix.  Car drives great, get in and go, no bad vibrations or anything like that, solid driver car.

Paint:  Has a good shine to it, but has many  scratches here and there.  5 footer car.

Interior:  The front seats are from a '73 Charger SE, I do not have the original 70 buckets.  Everything else appears to be original in the interior.

Rust:  Car has rust in the frame in the front where the "tow hooks" would go, and in the outer torque boxes.  The patch panels for the torque boxes are $149 each, front frame just needs some metal cut to fit and weld  in.  I do not see a major issue, just typical Charger stuff.  Rear frame rails look good, I do not see any repair necessary.  Floor pans in front need replacement, someone placed the replacement pans under the carpet and I've been driving it this way in the dry Texas weather.  But to be right, it would need to be attended to.

This car gets ridiculous attention, so be prepared.  Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

I  am an honest Ebayer and expect the same from potential buyers.  My feedback is 100% and I expect to keep it that way.  International buyers are welcome, check my feedback for other vehicles I have sold worldwide.  All funds must post to my account before the car leaves my possession.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding.  Be sure to check my other auctions for a few other cars I am selling to fund my new projects (1969  Dodge Charger, 1968 Chevelle, 1969 Firebird)

Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos

Wed, 21 May 2014

Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
