Up for auction is a classic 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 2 Door Hardtop in very decent restorable condition or drive it as a daily driver. This car is tan in color with mostly original paint that is in daily driver condition. The car has tan cloth interior with a stock original bench seat with some front to rear tears and a back seat that is original and does not have any tears. The pictures do not show the back seat as it was out for floor cleaning of normal trash when I took the pictures. Starting at the front, grill and bumper decent but not perfect, left front fender has some damage at the front corner with some minor dents, hood has one minor ding, minor dents on the left door and left quarter panel, roof looks perfect, all glass nice condition, deck lid has no dents, rear bumper has some dents, right door and quarter panel have several small dents, minimal dents on the right front fender, some rust etching in the right front floor area, no rust through, very little rust etching in left front floor area, no rust through, left rear floor area has no rust, and right rear has some rust etching but again nothing close to rust through. The trunk floor area has some moderate rust etching and I noticed a few pin holes when I had the gas tank out for cleaning. The trunk area has been completely treated with por-15 and looks just fine. This car was sitting for over 15 years and I had to clean out the fuel system (fuel tank clean and no rust inside) rebuild the carburetor, replace some fuel hoses, minor tune-up, new timing chain, new water pump, new radiator hoses, new thermostat, rodded out radiator, new freeze plugs, and new anti-freeze.318 V-8 engine has good compression, does not smoke, but does still idle kind of rough when cold. Probably my carb rebuild but no big deal on that. This car has had the automatic transmission oil and filter replaced and works very well. All rear end seals and fluid have been replaced. New master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new brake shoes, and the drums have been machined. Car has good tires including a spare and jack assembly. All lights work, car has factory air conditioning which seems to work ok, has a remote type left side mirror, and has a stock radio that does not work. This car was originally a power window car but none of the windows worked so I converted it to nice working original type manual windows. The interior door panels are pretty rough and will need replacing as well as the rear package tray and the carpets. I do still have most all of the original power window parts and they are available if someone wants to convert this car back to power windows. I think I have covered most every thing I can think up and if there are any questions, feel free to ask or give me a call at 408-507-4362. This car is currently registered up to date in Calif. with a current non-op title. Thanks for looking.

SRT reveals Satin Vapor Edition 300, Charger and Challenger SRT models
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon
Fri, 23 May 2014This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
