You are bidding on a 1966 Dodge Charger .383, which I have owned for several years. This car runs and drives great. I have done all of the heavy lifting, so someone simply needs to give this car some TLC to make it awesome.

The following is a summary of everything I have done to the car (I am sure I am leaving something out):

The engine has not been rebuilt, but was pulled, and had all the gaskets and seals replaced. Select parts were repainted. The engine well was sand blasted and painted. The engine runs very strong.
There are no issues with the transmission - it shifts perfectly.
I added a brake booster and dual reservoir master cylinder, so the car stops very well.
Carb, alternator, water pump, etc. have been replaced, as have all the hoses and belts. I have an extra carb. and rebuild kit that come with the car.
The car was completely rewired - new harness, wiring, etc.
All lights, instruments, etc. work great.
The instrument cluster is a Chrysler, period specific cluster, but not original to the car. It looks and works great. I do have the original that can be rebuilt, which comes with the car.
The head lamps open and close perfectly!
The carpet and headliner were replaced.
The wheels were sand blasted and repainted.
The floor pans and trunk pans have been replaced.

The following are issues that need to be addressed:

This car needs to be sand blasted and repainted. It was sandblasted down to bare metal about 5-6 years ago. I personally ensured any and all rust was replaced with new metal, with as little filler as possible. However, the paint has faded and bubbled in some areas, and there are very obvious issues with the paint (it sat outside at a Classic Car dealership in the area for a year or so).
Some of the metal has pitting, which is common. The chrome needs attention.
The tires need to be replaced before the car can be driven any significant distance.
Although I replaced all the carpet and the headliner, I have done very little to the rest of interior. The seats need re-upholstered.
The emblems are what I would consider driver quality, but could be refurbished.
The A/C does not work. I have not attempted to fix, and do not know what it would take to resolve.

In short, this car is structurally and mechanically sound. The vast majority of the issues are cosmetic, so you could drive and enjoy this car while these issues are addressed. Please feel free to contact me for more details - I am committed to a fair transaction for both myself and the buyer.

Florida Highway Patrolman seen watching YouTube in traffic

Fri, Apr 8 2016

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating allegations of a trooper watching YouTube videos on his official in-car laptop while driving. Lee County Florida resident James Peebles caught the alleged offender during his morning commute in early April, NBC2 reported. After exiting I-75, Peebles said that the FHP cruiser rolled up next to him at a stop light where he could clearly see the trooper inside watching a car race on Youtube on an official FHP laptop. Peebles put his car in park and snapped a picture of the cruiser before continuing to work. Later that day, he posted the photo to Facebook where it quickly went viral. "It blew my mind," Peebles told NBC2. "Everybody's human though, so I do know that we all make mistakes." NBC2 contacted the FHP for a statement after speaking to Peebles. An FHP spokesperson told the station that troopers are allowed to use their laptops while driving squad cars when carrying out official duties such as "simple inquiries" and "reviewing the nature of incoming messages". Other Florida motorists, like Jim Kosmerick who was interviewed by NBC2 for this story, don't consider watching an old race on YouTube to be official FHP business. "It's not official business, there's no way you can convince me otherwise," said Kosmerick. The FHP says that they are now aware of this fast moving viral image, and that they are taking the issue very seriously. They state that an investigation into the matter is underway, and that troopers are expected to abide by department policy and lead by example.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
