1973 Dodge Challenger Rally 340 with non original 440 engine.

I purchased this vehicle recently and need to sale due to finances.  The car is an Alabama car and because it is an Alabama car there is NO TITLE on pre 1975 Alabama vehicles.  There may be a  way to obtain a Title, but I do not know how.

This car was previous owner's brother's car.  Body work and paint work were done 15+ years ago. Paint is starting to bubble in some areas, especially in rear quarters, so it needs some attention.  The Engine is a 440 not original, but previous owner said engine came out of Charger, engine is VERY powerful, dome pistons, built to perform.  Vehicle has a rebuilt Holley 4150 Double Pumper, master cylinder, and brakes have been bled.  Front suspension needs work before it is road ready, found out that when I drove it.  If the vehicle does not sale, then I will continue working on it.  Rusty areas are the front of the hood, looks like someone may have had brake fluid hands, so the front of the hood is rusted, may need a new hood.  Roof looks like it may have been creased then "popped out" due to something heavy being placed on it, can't really get a good picture of the roof.  Pictures show rust around Quarters.  No rust in floors, or trunk.  Firewall under master cylinder has some minor rust through the firewall due to leaking brake fluid for years.  The vehicle seems not to have been on road for 5-10 years.  Vehicle runs and I can E-mail you video of engine running.  I will list with high reserve $ this time, so you can look at the pics and collect info.  If you want it now then bid at the high price.  I will relist cheaper reserve if it does not sell.  If you want to come and look at the vehicle, and want to make an offer, then be prepared to pay the reserve price.  I will not accept less.  I will continue to work on the car until it sells, I don't want to sell it, so price will not be negotiable.  Don't e-mail asking where the reserve is, bid and find out.  10%  will be due at auction end via PayPal.  Remainder of balance will be due when vehicle is picked up.  I do not deliver or know how the delivery on Ebay works, so if you want to set up a delivery service I will work with you however I can.

10% due at auction end 5% non refundable.  Remainder due at time of pick up.

please ask me questions, I will reply ASAP.

message me on EBAY and I will send you my contact info.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
