Hello
we have grandmas ( for real my grandma I am 47 now) dodge dart with 36 k miles. it is in really good shape generally. it has been stored for 20 years. it has a slant 6 auto with airconditioning. two door blue metallic . all complete. has some Only rust on rear lower quarters . Car is not a rusty car. Not your typical Illinois car! garage most of its life. Underneath looks really good , it was heavily undercoated so the lines exhaust system all looks good. the tail pipe after muffler needs to be replaced. This car can run and drive rather easily. Engine is free never froze. radiater was still green. There are like new tires smaller in height then original. We did have the torsion bar changed as it broke when grandpa had it. This is a light restore needed. vinyl top is cracked and a couple of seams are split on seats but all original and really nice. all four windows move great , no body damage otther then rust on bottom of rear fenders. I had ran this car while in the garage ten years ago to pull up on trailer to move to 2nd home, but the gas had gone bad. carb has all new parts but will need to be set up correctly to run. This car was running and driving fine when Grandpa passed and Grandma couldnt drive anymore. Still has the chicago stickers on the windows. i think from the 90s will have to look again. You wont find a nicer original Dart swinger for this price here in chicagoland. This car has been sitting stored for a long time. Gas went bad will need a tuneup to get going. I did put a new starter in it to make sure it turned over and it wants to start but needs carb set properly . But I drove it last so I know it will run and drive well. Its a slant six it of course it will! best engine they ever made. It has four new tires on it ,not the original type but perfect to use/move the car. Original rims and caps. This car is garage found fresh and complete! Paint is good with exception of trunk lid was repainted poorly but original paint is still underneath. Front left corner has some lifting on very top corner may have had some minor work there. there are door dings and scratches typical for its age and original unmolested condition. Truly a grandmas car.
Will not take much to get it on road. I suspect an evening of someone that knows how to set the float and tune and it will pur like it did when I moved it from Chicago to Libertyville 8 years ago.
Here is the history..
I bought thier house after Grandma passed 8 years ago and this was in the garge in chicago. I gave it to my son as he is turning 16 but he has his eyes on my dodge truck . if he can sell this I will let him have mine. Very good looking car! and with the new models out now , its only gonna jump up in price like the camaros etc did. willing to take trades 4x4 trucks,Dodge ram 4x4 pickup( is what my kid wants) Great investment! This will only go up in value not down like most things! Keep that in mind!
prefer cash. thankyou pics to come soon
This is over 40 years old and a classic in very good shape for its age and location. I have had many good offers but they did not spark our interest enough. If its a trade it will have to be something that is equal in value. No rust buckets or crazy high miles. must be a decent good condition running/looking 4x4 extended cab Dodge Ram pickup. 360 or maybe 318.
We do reserve the right to end this auction early as it is advertised locally. If someone comes up with a nice red,black 99 and up Dodge ram 1500,2500 ext cab 4x4 it will be gone. I have the original clear title.
again this is all original all numbers matching been in our family I think for its entire life, just seen pics of it new with proud grandpa and my father next to it. both R.I.P Dodge lives on!
STARTING BID .99 CENTS NO RESERVE BID TO WIN!!!
Ask all questions before you bid or buy. This beautiful storage fresh car will need to be trailered it is not a daily driver but certainly was and could be easily. This was a Chicago car in the city so doesn't have a lot of miles we lived up here and they only drove out twice as that was TOO far to drive for them. There is no warranty it is being sold honestly and with all good intentions from our family as is as shown. don't pass it up you wont be disappointed and you have a great chance to get this car at a great price. Bid to win. Questions welcomed. Do not expect to work on it in my driveway .Send a flatbed or rent a trailer for 50 bucks from uhaul . It does move freely and everthing seems to work. Just needs a little tlc to get it started. Garage was dry .More pics to come when the the snow is gone. thank you

2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.
Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/videos]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Darrell Waltrip once said, "If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting." The sentiment behind that aphorism is causing my adrenal gland to wake up as Dodge and SRT drivers and engineers - somber-faced to a man - give me the track talk that will precede my driving the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT on the circuit at Portland International Raceway. PIR might not be Daytona, and the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat might seem tame to a legend like ol' Jaws, but there's a not-small part of me that's thinking about how hard Dodge's fire-breathing kitty might bite.
Just a few hours previous, I'd gotten behind the wheel of the Hellcat for the first time, letting its hyperbole-spitting, supercharged V8 Hemi pull me yieldingly through Portland's morning commuter traffic. Lulled into a cocky certainty by the Challenger's good manners at low speed, I drove the throttle just a hair too deep, too fast when I ran on to the highway ramp. For just an instant the rear tires were utterly drenched in torque, and the back end of the big Dodge loosened up like a drift car on a wet track. Throttle steer lives at the fleeting whim of your right foot in this car.
It was no big thing to lay off the gas and pull the Hellcat back in line as I entered the highway, but the incident did get me to thinking: What will this car do to me on a road course?
