1978 Dodge Charger SE. 3rd owner car! 88,406 miles on body. I was a professional Mechanic and Service Manager for 10 years, and I'm as close to a perfectionist as you can get. At 82,000 miles, I performed the following work to the car:

.040 over Jasper 360 short block engine

Lightly massaged factory Cylinder Heads

Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold, Carb, Cam, and Lifter kit

Headers and custom 3" stainless steel Exhaust.

Transmission rebuilt with mild Shift Kit installed.

Differential serviced.

New Power Steering Pump.

New master Cylinder.

New Radiator & Fan Clutch.

New Alternator.

New A/C Compressor & Expansion Valve w/134A refrigerant.

New Belts, Hoses, Ignition Wires, etc.

Virtually EVERYTHING under the hood was replaced! In addition, I have also replaced;

Shock Absorbers

Wheel Bearings

4 New Tires/Alignment

Inside, I have installed a Kenwood CD player/stereo w/4 new speakers, a small console tachometer, and a triple gauge set. The remainder of the interior you see in the pictures is all original, except the Rear View Mirror and the console cover which needed re-covering. There are no cracks in the original dash pad, and the interior is in great shape!

The car runs like new, and is driven weekly. I would hop in and drive this car ANYWHERE (and do)!

While a beautiful car and a great running classic, it is not perfect. I have not addressed any of the bodywork on the car yet. It was rust-proofed by the original selling dealer (it's everywhere!), but time does take it's toll on older cars of this age. Please look at the pictures. On the right side, there is some rust beginning to show through the lower fenderwells, and there are two spots directly below the vinyl top that have rusted through and will need attention. In addition, this car was ordered with the heavy sound insulation package. Unfortunately the trunk seal had failed, and the sound insulation saturated and began some rust in the trunk. I removed the insulation upon buying the car, but the damage was done. The edges of the trunk lid have a little surface rust due to poor prep procedures from an old repair job. I don't believe the car has EVER been in a major accident, but the couple shades of Burgundy that are on it tells me it's had a few previous minor scrapes.

The ONLY thing I could say that's not perfect about the engine is that apparently it's got a "lazy lifter". From time to time when started cold, one lifter will tick lightly until it pumps up. It's a minor issue, but one I have wanted to address. The interior will need a new headliner (it has been replaced, but is sagging), and there is a very small tear in the driver's seatback.

I have done my best to honestly represent what this car is (and isn't). While not perfect, it is still a beautiful example of Chrysler's Cordoba/Charger/Magnum body style, and far more rare than a Cordoba due to lower sales numbers. I do believe this to be a "one of one" optioned car, but I can not verify that fact. I have over $10,000.00 invested, and must sell immediately.

Please remember that your bid is a binding agreement to purchase. If you're not serious, don't place a bid! I am advertising this car locally, and reserve the right to cancel auction at any time. $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT is due within 24 hours of auction close. Remainder of payment MUST be made within one week, and vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks. If you have any questions, please email me. I will answer any questions that I can. Thank you!

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.
