1997 Dodge Intrepid for sale. Car body is beat up and well used (see pictures) and does have a few issues that are listed below. Drove the car for many years but don't have the mechanic skills or the patience to take car of the issues that currently exist. Bought another car before last winter so the Intrepid did sit in a parking lot for most of the winter. The car does start up with no problems and the engine works well. Technically the car is drivable, but not advised without someone who knows what they are doing looking it over first. Perfect for someone with access to a mechanic or to be used for parts. 

Extra Parts: 

Radiator: Car had some overheating issues that were at first thought to be the radiator. A used radiator was bought, but the heating issue turned out to be due to blockage. The second radiator ended up not being used.
Alternator: Car had some battery issues that turned out to be something else. Alternator was replaced, unsure if the original works or not but is included. 
After market radio: CD player was installed (see picture)

Known issues: 

Body is beat up, sun damage, dents, rust. See pictures. She is no longer pretty.
Car lighter doesn't work
No break pressure: back passenger breaks were installed incorrectly. Should be a simple matter of installing correctly, but could be more then that.
AC does not work (was informed it just needed a hose replaced?)
Exhaust leak
Back driver tire seems aligned a bit off. Not sure if its my vision playing tricks or if there is an issue there, but want it noted just in case. 
Turn signal works, but when turning right it does need to be held. 

Driver side tire went flat during the winter and incurred some damage. Currently have replaced it with the spare. Old tire is included, not sure if the damage is fixable or not.




If you have any questions please ask away. Full disclosure, I'm not mechanic and I know very little about cars. I have done my best to provide all of the issues that I know about the vehicle but can't promise anything beyond that. Car is being sold AS IS. Priced to be sold and willing to entertain ALL best offers. If your willing to come get it and take it off my hands I'm open to most offers. So please send in a Best Offer! Junkyard has given me a quote for the vehicle and they will pick it up for free. I'm a little partial to the car, however, and despite her looks and issues she was extremely reliable for the majority of the time I drove her and the engine doesn't seem to be missing any steps. Would rather see her go to someone who would patch her up and use her as a secondary vehicle or to be used for parts. But mainly I'd like to just see her go. 

I do have a few more pictures as well as a video of the engine running. If you would like to see this, please contact me and I would be happy to send them to you.

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.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.

Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
