Pleasantville, New York, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Dodge
Drive Type: RWD
Model: Dart
Mileage: 330,000
Trim: Custom
1972 Dodge Dart Custom 4 door sedan: V8 (318,) electronic ignition, AT, AC, PS, PB, disc front brakes, 7-1/4 (2.76 rear end), after market cruise control, non-original stereo with rear speakers, 3 tube radiator (after market). We have owned the car since 1992 and it is my wife’s daily driver and our car for long trips. We have put on 230,000 miles and the car’s total mileage is 330,000.
Vinyl top is in excellent condition, probably because the car has been garaged since we bought it. Rear quarters were replaced in 2000. Rebuilt heads were installed in 2002, new fuel lines in 2012. Interior is in good condition except for headliner tear in rear. Front bench seat was replaced from a 1970 A-body (have original seat if wanted.) All tires are good; includes mounted snow tires. Recently the power steering gearbox was replaced: Bergmanautocraft@verizon.net which is a Jeep Cherokee gear modified for use in Chrysler products. This is a quick ratio unit (3 1/2 turns vs. 4 turns) and eliminates all play associated with the Chrysler boxes. This unit cost us about $1100. Also recently replaced was the K-frame, lower and upper control arm bushings, Pitman and idler arms, power steering pump and new rear brake cylinders (7/8). It has had a recent alignment. The transmission was rebuilt in 2008. We’ve changed oil and filters every 3000 miles. Servicing and mechanical work was done by the owner-mechanic.
The car looks and drives very well but has a few rust issues. The front floors have been patched as well as the rear wheel wells in spots. The area near the right rear spring perch has rust issues. The right rear torsion bar was reinforced but is rusty again. The front fenders are rusted out at bottom. Most of these problem areas can be seen in the photos.
Included with the car are the shop manuals, a good extra 7-1/4 rear end, the original 318 V8 engine (which turns over) plus extra mechanical parts if desired. Car is being sold as is.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
