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)

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.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking

Fri, Jul 24 2015

In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.
