I have decided to list ONE TIME on ebay my REAL RED 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. This car was sold brand new in 1969 after the Talladega 500 race. It was truly one of those "Race on Sunday, buy on Monday" type cars. When the original owner walked into the dealership that Monday in Birmingham AL, they had 2 Daytonas on their floor. A blue one and a red one. The red with black wing was chosen(I have pictures of the blue Daytona from this dealership as well!) The original owner was an airline pilot, and kept a meticulous log(as most pilots do) of every SINGLE thing he did to the car since 1969, including receipts for oil changes, spark plug wires, you name it. This car was a daily driver and was USED as such. It towed boats, drove all over the country, and even went back to the Talladega 500 in 1970 and he watched the race sitting on the wing with his feet propped up on the back window!!! See the pic below! By 1979 the car was still going strong at 99000 miles, and the transmission was changed at this time. By 1986 the car was being used a little more sparingly, and had 126,800 miles when the engine was changed for a new 440. In 1998 the car had a whopping 142000 miles(a lot for a daytona anyway!) and he decided to have the car redone. This took 3 years and well over $22000 dollars on the refresh. At that time a date code correct 1969 440 and matching transmission were taken from a 1969 Charger R/T and completely rebuilt(i have pictures of the donor car and engine). The car was driven less than 2000 miles since it's restoration in 2000 mainly to shows, the Talladega reunions, etc. I personally remember the car at a few shows across the southeast around 2005-2007. In Feb. 2013 the original owner passed away at the age of 80, and I acquired the car from the family this past June. It had 144,102 miles on it at that time. Since June I have only put 63 miles on the Daytona. To be quite honest, I am a bit scared to drive a car like this, as they are so rare and OEM parts are nonexistant should something happen to it. I did cruise the car and get it up to 70 mph when driving. It was awesome!

This Daytona will be the crown jewel of someone's collection. I have enjoyed owning it, but feel much more comfortable driving my less valuable Daytona clone around, and figured it was time to give it a new loving home. The car as stated runs and drives great, the gauges work, the console lights work, even the small key light works. The car sounds all stock and fires up quickly and effortlessly. The only thing i noticed did not work on the couple drives I took was the tachometer. I would consider this automotive piece of history a strong daily driver. While not a survivor, or a 100 point show car, it is a VERY nice car and has been a southern car all it's life. There is no carfax report on the car(HA!), but i can tell you it is now a 2 owner car, and has 1 accident. This happened in 1970 when the car was 8 months old. It was hit in the passenger door. It was repaired decently in 1970 and stayed that way until 1998 when it was restored. At that time it was fixed correctly, and you cannot tell now if i didn't have the pictures to prove it. Like I said, I am only listing this car ONCE, I was VERY fortunate to be able to buy this car, and am not against keeping it forever. If you have kept up with the market on Superbirds and Daytonas, you already know about what a car like this is worth. My reserve is priced VERY low for a car of this caliber. In fact I would venture to say I have not seen a real Daytona in this shape sell for less than my reserve in probably 15 years. I've watched some project cars sell for less than this car will go for. So yes it is priced to sell. If you're in the market for a real Daytona in a beautiful color combo, this is your one chance. I am really not interested in trades. The lucky new owner will get all paperwork and photo albums I have of the car, as well as it's original Alabama historic antique plate. The car has the fender tag, but the family could not locate the build sheet from the car. This is a very serious auction, please bid only if you have the funds available to purchase this car. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time for any reason. I will assist in the transaction whether you're 20 miles away or anywhere in the world. It seems that most of the nicer cars I have sold over the years have gone to many many other countries, including Germany, Sweden, UK, Australia, and Italy. Thanks for looking and good luck!

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk

Fri, 09 May 2014

Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.

Explore Dom's 1970 'off-road' Dodge Charger from Furious 7

Fri, Apr 3 2015

The Aficionauto, Christopher Rutkowski, already drove Dom's 1970 Dodge Charger from Fast & Furious and Fast Five. Now he's returning to the franchise for an interview with Dennis McCarthy, the vehicle coordinator on the last five Fast and Furious films, plus a close look at the custom off-road Charger that's one of the automotive stars in Furious 7. Given his resume, when McCarthy admits this is his new all-time favorite vehicle from the franchise, it really means something. Don't worry. McCarthy is careful not to spoil any of the film's action while he shows off the Charger and Shaw's fast attack vehicle that takes on the Dodge. McCarthy does reveal the one car that he still dreams to build for the series, and it's something that every fan should see. This looks like a fantastic blockbuster movie season for anyone that loves to watch cars crash and explode on the big screen. Furious 7 is in theaters right now, and based on the trailer, it promises the biggest stunts ever from the long-running franchise. And in just a few weeks, Mad Max: Fury Road hits cinemas to add a dystopian tinge to the automotive action.

2018 Dodge Durango SRT Quick Spin | The modern hot-rod wagon

Fri, Aug 18 2017

I love big, overpowered SUVs. Except for Mercedes-AMG, no one makes fast wagons anymore. Models like the BMW X5 M and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S fill that niche, combining a powerful engine with copious amounts of room for cargo and passengers. These SUVs are too porky to handle well on a track and too big and wide to properly tackle a curvy backroad. But with a soft suspension and a 0-60 mph time of less than 5 seconds, they are perfect for cruising city streets and pulling away from unsuspecting Ford Mustangs and Chevy Camaros. That makes the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT perfect for the Woodward Dream Cruise. Dream Cruise is an annual car meet along Woodward Avenue, just northwest of Detroit. While literally any motorized vehicle is welcome, the street is mostly filled with American cars from the height of the domestic auto industry. For a late 20-something like myself, watching and partaking in the Dream Cruise fills me with a sense of nostalgia for a time and place that never existed for me, just like watching John Wayne in anything from "Stagecoach" to "True Grit" makes you long for horseback rides in the Old West. The Durango SRT, with a pushrod Hemi V8, 392 cubic-inch badging on the fenders and muscular styling, enhances the experience. Sure, it's not nearly as cool as Mopar stalwarts like the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner or the 1970 Dodge Daytona, but it's filled with the same sense of purpose. Dip into the throttle and listen to that eight-cylinder chorus erupt with a sound that's wholly unique. Not even the pushrod V8s from GM snarl and crack like this 6.4-liter Hemi. It's the same sort of sound you'll hear from countless Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth products during Dream Cruise. You don't need to go fast to get the full understanding of the Durango SRT's purpose. Ignore the SRT-tuned suspension and heavy steering. What you really want to do is open the SRT menu and adjust the custom settings. Set the engine and transmission in track mode and put everything else in the street setting. You'll get all the available power and straight-line performance combined with a nice, cushy ride. We're not sure what FCA has planned for the future. While the industry moves toward electrification and autonomous ride-sharing vehicles, the automaker is pouring money into vehicles like the Durango SRT, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Future prospects look hazy.
