1970 Dodge Charger, 383 car, cloned to the General Lee (but with a 70 grill).  Overall a very good driver, drum brakes, brand new tires, glass pack exhaust exhaust gives a strong sound to the car, dixie horn works great and is loud.

Mechanical:  Transmission seals take a little bit of time to engage when you first start the car and put it into reverse.  After it "pumps up" there is no problem, just you will experience a delay on start up.  I took it to a local shop that's been around a while, they told me it's a typical problem with the seals.  Again, after about 10-20 seconds and thereafter there is no problem, just at start-up only.  Shifter looks very nice, but is a little sloppy, probably could use adjustment.  The exhaust has the short "glass pack" type mufflers on it, so it ends about 3ft after the headers.  Sounds really good, not too loud but does rumble.  A/C does not work, Radio doesn't work, I think turn signals etc work, headlights do not currently work - wiring is there so should be something easy.  Headlight door motor is in the trunk, so you manually have to lift the headlight doors.  All pretty easy stuff to fix.  Car drives great, get in and go, no bad vibrations or anything like that, solid driver car.

Paint:  Has a good shine to it, but has many  scratches here and there.  5 footer car.

Interior:  The front seats are from a '73 Charger SE, I do not have the original 70 buckets.  Everything else appears to be original in the interior.

Rust:  Car has rust in the frame in the front where the "tow hooks" would go, and in the outer torque boxes.  The patch panels for the torque boxes are $149 each, front frame just needs some metal cut to fit and weld  in.  I do not see a major issue, just typical Charger stuff.  Rear frame rails look good, I do not see any repair necessary.  Floor pans in front need replacement, someone placed the replacement pans under the carpet and I've been driving it this way in the dry Texas weather.  But to be right, it would need to be attended to.

This car gets ridiculous attention, so be prepared.  Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

I  am an honest Ebayer and expect the same from potential buyers.  My feedback is 100% and I expect to keep it that way.  International buyers are welcome, check my feedback for other vehicles I have sold worldwide.  All funds must post to my account before the car leaves my possession.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding.  Be sure to check my other auctions for a few other cars I am selling to fund my new projects (1969  Dodge Charger, 1968 Chevelle, 1969 Firebird)

2013 Dart GT will hold us over until SRT stokes Dodge's handsome compact

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

No, this isn't quite the Dart SRT4 we've been waiting for - and still believe is coming - but as part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show lineup, Dodge will be showing off the slightly sportier Dart GT seen here.
Building on the already well-equipped Limited model, the GT adds performance enhancements including a more powerful engine, 18-inch aluminum wheels, sport suspension calibration, unique front fascia and dual exhaust. Inside, you'll find perforated Nappa leather seats, a heated steering wheel and front seats, dual-zone climate control, remote start (if you spec the automatic transmission), Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a seven-inch TFT display in the gauge cluster, and a whole lot more. Optional goodies include hyper black aluminum wheels, a technology group (pushbutton start, keyless go, rain-sensing wipers, blind spot monitoring and smart-beam headlamps), power sunroof, Sirius radio, Garmin navigation, Alpine premium sound and high-intensity discharge headlamps.
Powering the Dart GT is Chrysler's 2.4-liter MultiAir2 four-cylinder engine producing 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. That grunt is sent to the front wheels via a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic 'box is optional.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
