Up for sale is a 1969 Dodge coronet 500 convertible. Numbers matching drivetrain with a high percentage of original parts and Trim. While it doesn't look like a 145,000 + mile car, I have to assume that the 5 digit odometer has turned over. Despite it's age it is in good shape. I have driven this all the way out to Albany New York in this to my home near Cape Cod, and feel confident getting in and driving. As always with any used car there are high points and low points and I will try to address those separately. I have had this car for just shy of 2 years and it hasn't given me any issues. I had the typical dream to turn this into a 440 powered beast, but my family and I have started to really enjoy using our RV, which is another expensive hobby, so something has to give. I will describe this car to the best of my ability but feel free to ask any questions. I reserve the right to end this auction early if I choose to do so.I am listing this car for a good bit less than when I bought it, as in this economy these classics aren't getting what they used to a few years ago. That said, it is still a rare B Body convertible which is a desirable product for MOPAR fans, and I will NOT consider any further price drop


The Good:
Original Drivetrain, with what appear to be the original key engine parts and accessories.
All new fluids: Oil,Transmission,Brake Fluid,Coolant,rear differential fluid, New thermostat and Upper radiator hose. Also Brand new Battery and Plugs within the last year.
Tires we newly added when I bought the car and have good tread life and are in good condition.
Current Massachusetts inspection sticker (Mass has one of the tougher Inspection programs in the USA)
Convertible top seems to be a fairly recent replacement and is in good shape, although the 2 top locks seem to be the originals.Top goes up and down quickly and smoothly without noises or issues.
Aside from a rip in the driver's seat and a worn down carpet the interior is in good shape. I think you could fix the seat and carpet and have a great looking interior. Center console is beautiful
Brakes appear to be in good shape too. stops well
Engine runs clean and starts right up and transmission shifts smoothly. No groans or noises from rear differential.
Doors close easily and I see no signs of stress cracks in body or frame. Glass is also in good shape and the bumpers look like new.
Framework has had some welded repair sections which I tried to capture in pics. Professional repairs which hold up well. Ran this car by Auto Rust Technicians in Rhode Island after I brought it home and they thought the car was pretty sweet.

The not so good:
May not show in the pictures, but the front passenger fender was creased by the prior owner. It has been pushed out but is not 100% perfect
Car will someday need right rear 1/4 patch panel and left rear 1/4 skin
I think it may need a partial trunk panel if you really wanted to re do it to showroom fresh. 
Frame work could benefit from a grinding and a coating of POR 15, but the car is strong and in good shape.

I have worked to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability but it is almost 45 years old and is sold as is with no warranty either written or implied. Buyer is responsible for all taxes and shipping. 500.00 non refundable deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close, and Low/no feedback bidders Must contact me prior to bidding, or you bid will be rejected. I work weekends but will do my best to accommodate anyone who wishes to see the car in person, or have a representative stop by in their place. Valid and clear mass title in my name.I will work with US and international buyers. Please note that funds must be paid in full via cash,bank transfer or paypal before car and title are released Thanks!

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
