 This auction, with low reserve, is for a very rare 1962 Dodge Dart 440 Convertible. I have had this car for about 25 years with the plan to restore it, but never got around to it. The auction will include many spare parts including: Left and Right rear quarter panels, Left and Right front fenders, Left and right inner fenders, Tail Light bezels, gauge and speedometer assembly, a 318 engine, and more. The sheet metal parts and engine were purchased in Florida and are solid except for a little rust along bottom edge. The doors, windows, hood, and trunk lid on the Dart all seem to be solid. The floor in this Dart (particularly rear seat) needs to be replaced. Also, about 20 years ago a wheel and axel shop did some welding , I believe on the torsion bar system, and now the drivers door pinches and does not open. This can be fixed by undoing the welding or by adjustment on the fenders when or if they are replaced. The Dart needs the brake cylinders and probably the master cylinder rebuilt. This car hasn't been driven in three years, since the brakes went out. It has been stored inside since I've had it. The fuel pump and starter were replaced three years ago. The gas float and filter assembly in the fuel tank were replaced 4 years ago. The seat covers need some work. The convertible top is dirty but is solid and the hydraulic pump works. The top does need new window seals though. The car also needs a set of tires.

All in all this is an excellent project car and a rare one too. I hate to part with it, but we are moving and have to downsize-meaning I have to get rid of some toys. This is the second 1962 Dodge Dart Convertible that I have owned. The first was in the late 60's until I went in the Army. When I saw this one in the late 80's, I had to have it. I haven't seen another "62 Dart Convertible since, including in car shows.

I am selling this car and all extra parts, as is, with what I believe to be a low reserve. Buyer to pay and arrange all shipping costs. I have included many pictures of the car and extra parts. If you have any questions, please email or call me at 920-276-2012 or 262-490-5398. Thanks for looking and Good Luck with your bid!

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut

Mon, 08 Oct 2012

Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.

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.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 raises $825,000 for charity

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

$60,000 doesn't strike us as a lot to pay for a muscle car with 707 horsepower on tap. $825,000... now that's a different story. But, according to the official SRT blog, that's how much one generous and eager buyer paid for the privilege of getting his (or her) hands on the very first new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Decked out in Stryker Red paint that's usually reserved for the Viper, the supercharged Challenger bearing the VIN 0001 went up for auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas on Saturday under the auspices of Barrett-Jackson. By the time bidding ended, the gavel dropped at $825,000 - nearly 14 times the sticker price - 100 percent of which will benefit Opportunity Vehicle, a charity that aids the intellectually handicapped in the Las Vegas Area.
