This is a one family owned low mileage car in very good condition for it's age. 318/auto a/c manual brakes. Pass. 1/4 was replaced in 1989 after an accident but looks to be done well. The entire car was repainted at that time.The floors are solid, but have surface rust as shown in the pics. The pics make it look worse than it is. The floors do not need replaced. The trunk floor has some minor surface rust, but appears to be useable with some sandblasting or ? The drivers lower rear 1/4 has some small bubbles and may need a patch, but the rest or the car is VERY solid. Minor surface rust at rear corners of rear window. I asked a Body man if they needed cut out and he said no way, just spot blast, still very solid. The glass is nice with no cracks or chips. The doors close nicely with no sag, confirming the low milage. The subframes are excellent inside and out. The suspension parts are very restorable with only a light dusting of rust, no nasty rust. Lower ball joints do need replaced, but if I were keeping the car, I would replace all the wearable items, They are 45 years old after all. The engine runs smooth and quiet after rebuilding the carb, and installing electronic ignition and new cap and rotor(Pertronix) The brakes were bled and a new master cylinder was installed. The inside of the gas tank is spottless as is the sending unit. The car sat in a garage since 1995, but we now have it running and driving. However, I would not drive it across the country just yet.The a/c comes on but is not cold. There are no visible signs of leaking , so it may just need a charge. The seats and headliner have some weak seams but are all there. The dash pad is nice but has a small crack on the bottom pass side not visible in the pics. The car is not missing any trim and all the stainless is nice.The car still needs some tlc but is an excellent start. I would love to keep it, but my son is heading to college and I can't have two toys. These cars are getting very hard to find in this condition, and you will not be disappointed. I cannot stress enough how good the overall condition is. Thanks for reading the long description.

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.
Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled
Sun, 24 Feb 2013A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.
Aficionauto drives Vin Diesel's fast and furious 1970 Dodge Charger
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The Aficionauto host Christopher Rutkowski has a real passion for original and replica cars from movies and television, whether they are from James Bond, Jurassic Park, or incredibly obscure Japanese shows. However, he might have outdone himself this time because he hopped into one of the biggest automotive stars of contemporary cinema. This 1970 Dodge Charger appeared in Fast & Furious and came back in Fast Five, where Paul Walker actually drove it. The menacing, black muscle car will make its return to the franchise in the seventh film, too.
The Fast and Furious Charger is a real beast no matter how you look at it. The interior is nothing more than two seats and a roll cage, and as the video shows, this thing vibrates constantly like a coiled mass of muscle ready to strike. The camera can barely stay in place most of the time. Also, Dom's Dodge is more than happy to do a smoky burnout and leave the driver partially deaf afterward from its wonderful, ear-splitting engine roar.
The Aficionauto also interviews the man who controls the keys to this beast. Bob Hartwig was once an F-15 pilot, but he also loved Hollywood vehicles. Now, he's a partner at Picture Car Warehouse, a company with about 850 cars that supplies vehicles to film studios. This Charger definitely seems to be Hartwig's favorite in the collection, as it should be.
