Up for sale is a really nice looking 1966 Dodge Charger fastback sports coupe.  This was the first year of the Charger, and was Dodge's entry into the personal luxury/ muscle car market.  This has been a Texas car most of its life, and after that was owned by a collector/hobbyist who had a winter home in Florida and summer home in Upstate New York.  It has not been driven in winter snow or salt.  I believe it has had 2 other family owners before I acquired it.  This is an older restoration of a straight Texas car and still shows well.  Paint still has a nice shine, chrome and bright work is nice, and original interior still looks great!  Very nice and neat under the hood, and undercarriage is very nice, not rusty or scaly.

Under the hood of this Mopar is a built 440 4-barrel that really runs well and sounds awesome!  Motor, transmission, and rear end have all been rebuilt.  Other mechanical items such as belts, hoses, exhaust etc. have also been replaced or redone.  Surprisingly gas mileage is not as bad as one might expect.  I have been getting between 13 and 16 MPG when I've been driving around and going to cruise-ins.  This car just has gobs of power and is a real blast to drive!  Odometer reads 15,000 and change, but is not original.  I was told it was re-set to zero when all the work was done.  No real idea how many actual miles the car has since new. 

In short, this is a fun driver car and cruiser.  It is certainly NOT a 100 point show car, but is a great inexpensive way to get into a popular Mopar big block muscle car that won't break the bank!  Buy this for less than the price of a new econo-box Kia or Hyundai and have 10 times the fun, and an investment that goes up, instead of down in value!  Don't miss this awesome piece of Detroit muscle car history!

Please be aware that this car was most recently registered in New York State.  The proof of ownership is a transferrable NY registration, along with a bill of sale.  NY does not issue titles for cars 1972 or older. 

 ABOUT ME: I am a long time (35 years) hobbyist and collector of nice original "Survivor" cars. I collect, trade, and fool with nice original cars from the late 1950s to mid 1980s. I keep a "rotating collection" of 6 to 8 such cars. When new arrivals appear, I will sell some to make room. This is the case here.

Now for the rules:

1. Your bid is a contract! If you are the successful bidder, you are expected to pay! Please have all contingencies handled and your money in place BEFORE you bid! No retractions will be allowed, so be sure BEFORE you bid!  Please read and understand this:  ASK QUESTIONS AND GET ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BID.

2. An $1500.00  NON REFUNDABLE partial payment is due within 48 hours of end of auction. This can be by bank wire transfer. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for this. Balance is due within 7 days of auction's conclusion. This can be by bank wire transfer as well, and is probably the safest method.

3. Please note that car is currently at my summer residence.  This is in upstate NY, about 1 hour west of Albany, and 1.5 hours east of Syracuse.  I am from the Carolinas in the winter months.

4. Vehicle and papers will not leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. If you are paying with ANY kind of check, it must clear MY bank before car or ownership will be released. No exceptions! Please note that with all the fraudulent money orders out there, most banks treat them like personal checks and place a 5 to 7 business day hold on them. Wire transfer is the best method.  If you are paying balance on pickup, it must be cash in person.  No exceptions. 

5. Vehicle is sold strictly as-is at my premisies with no guarantee or warranty of any kind.

6. Transportation is the buyer's responsibility. I will try to reasonably help and accommodate you any way I can, but it still YOUR responsibility.

7. If you cannot pick up immediately, that is fine, it can be left here for a reasonable period. However, it still must be paid for within the 7 days, and you should secure insurance as I cannot be responsible for loss or damage due to circumstances beyond my control or act of God.

8. Please ask and get satisfactory answers to all questions BEFORE YOU BID! Since sold strictly as/is, no warranty or returns, once you bid, you have made a binding contract.

9. Car is advertised locally for sale. If I find a buyer through that venue, I reserve the right to end auction early. Please call me at 704-661-1326 or 518-835-5058  with any further questions about this. due to spotty cell service, call both and leave messages at both if no answer.

10. If you have been an Ebay member for less than a year and/or have less than 10 feedbacks, and/or have less than a 95% rating, you MUST contact me BEFORE you bid. Failure to do this may result in my cancelling your bid and blocking you from bidding on my items. I understand that new members can be great customers, but I must talk to you first. Thanks a lot.

I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems that 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for looking! Again, please feel free to call 704-661-1326 cell or 518-835-5058  with any questions. Leave message if no answer.  Best to call both and leave messages at both as reception can be spotty.  Thanks for looking!

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power

Tue, 21 May 2013

A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.
