1976 was the final production year for this classic American car, and it also was the lowest production year for generation 4 Darts (only 8,937 Dodge Dart Swingers were produced in '76) in North America. While this particular car has its imperfections, it is very solid and fun to drive. We simply do not have room for 4 cars, so it's time has come for our family to part with it.  

Why bid on a Dart without getting the full story? I want you to know what to expect 100% with this Mopar classic. 



This car runs good and is a reliable starter. It was bought for my wife to use as a daily driver for her work commute, and from the driver side it looks great! :)  

Ok, it has some body damage on the passenger side from an accident that happened before we bought the car. The exterior is has signs of wear and I'm assuming it's the original paint job. There are little dings, scratches and other signs of use over the life of the car. The chrome is in ok shape, with very little pitting. The vinyl top is in excellent condition and was replaced by the previous owner, it really looks sharp. The aluminum trim is all there, is also in good shape, and there isn't any rusting where it meets the sheet metal. There are no exterior signs of rust. The rubber trim that runs along the side of the body has been removed, and it shows in the finish. Besides the aging paint and accident damage, the car actually looks really good. 

Mechanically, the car is sound and drives smooth like a 318 with a torqueflite should. The engine and transmission are stock. All 4 tires are practically new. To be expected, there is play in the steering and a leak in the power steering should be noted. The battery is new. Alternator is recent. Brakes about 15,000 miles ago. Recent catalytic converters. The dual exhaust sounds good, not loud. Replaced rear shocks. Cooling system in good shape. Original a/c is present, disconnected and working condition is unknown. Car has original jack and a spare in the trunk. The speedometer or cable either needs attention, as it gets a little squeaky and goofy in the 65mph range. Turn signals, lights, horns and wipers work, but washer fluid pump does not.  The doors and locks are all solid. The glass is in good shape all around. Weatherstripping is mostly all there and varies from good, to delicate to missing in one spot. All the windows except the rear passenger side function properly, it slips and needs help when rolling up. The car is equipped with a secret kill switch/relay to the battery. It just passed CA smog.

The interior is in decent shape and it feels good to sit inside. The seats are in beautiful condition and have a couple of very small, easy to repair punctures. The vinyl on the dash has no cracks, is in good shape, as are the door panels, which are very clean. The carpet was replaced by the previous owner, but could do with a cleaning in the front. It would look good with a little shampoo. There's a radio with cassette player that is as good as not having one. The driver's seatbelt needs repair/replacement. A couple knobs inside need replacement. The headliner has cracks and chips. There is some corrosion in the trunk, under the rubber matt on the pan. The rest of the trunk looks great.

This listing is for car with a salvage title that we bought in 2008. I wish I could tell you why the car was given a salvage title, but best guess is a passenger side collision. It seems probable the cost of the body damage repair was estimated at more than the cost of the vehicle, so it was considered totaled. **However, I do not know for sure.** I do know it has never given any reason to think otherwise. The frame is straight and the damage, from what I can tell is purely cosmetic. 

Buyer pays shipping. I will happily help load or help coordinate with shipping if necessary. Cashier's check, cash, or Paypal accepted. $500 deposit required within 48 hours of auction closing. Full payment due within 7 days of auction closing. Vehicle AS-IS, no warrantee.


This auto has been recently detailed, presently stored in a garage and ready to cruise!

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

Mopar rolls out new Scat Packages for Dodge Challenger, Charger and Dart

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Dodge buyers looking for that extra performance edge, take note: Mopar is bringing back the Scat Pack. Announced at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas today, the new Scat Packages will be available in three stages for the Challenger, Charger and Dart starting next spring.
Upgrades for the Charger and Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine include a
new cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust, as well as a remapped ECU. Upgrade to the Scat Package 2 and you get a new camshaft, and the Scat Package 3 tosses in ported and polished heads and hi-flow headers. Upgrades for the Dart GT with the smaller 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission start with a cold-air intake, short-throw shifter and upgraded brakes. The second stage kicks in a remapped ECU and cat-back exhaust, while the Scat Package 3 for the Dart gives you even bigger brakes, an adjustable suspension and sway bars front and rear.
