Hello
we have grandmas ( for real my grandma I am 47 now) dodge dart with 36 k miles. it is in really good shape generally. it has been stored for 20 years. it has a slant 6 auto with airconditioning. two door blue metallic . all complete. has some Only rust on rear lower quarters . Car is not a rusty car. Not your typical Illinois car! garage most of its life. Underneath looks really good , it was heavily undercoated so the lines exhaust system all looks good. the tail pipe after muffler needs to be replaced. This car can run and drive rather easily. Engine is free never froze. radiater was still green. There are like new tires smaller in height then original. We did have the torsion bar changed as it broke when grandpa had it. This is a light restore needed. vinyl top is cracked and a couple of seams are split on seats but all original and really nice. all four windows move great , no body damage otther then rust on bottom of rear fenders. I had ran this car while in the garage ten years ago to pull up on trailer to move to 2nd home, but the gas had gone bad. carb has all new parts but will need to be set up correctly to run. This car was running and driving fine when Grandpa passed and Grandma couldnt drive anymore. Still has the chicago stickers on the windows. i think from the 90s will have to look again. You wont find a nicer original Dart swinger for this price here in chicagoland. This car has been sitting stored for a long time. Gas went bad will need a tuneup to get going. I did put a new starter in it to make sure it turned over and it wants to start but needs carb set properly . But I drove it last so I know it will run and drive well. Its a slant six it of course it will! best engine they ever made. It has four new tires on it ,not the original type but perfect to use/move the car. Original rims and caps. This car is garage found fresh and complete! Paint is good with exception of trunk lid was repainted poorly but original paint is still underneath. Front left corner has some lifting on very top corner may have had some minor work there. there are door dings and scratches typical for its age and original unmolested condition. Truly a grandmas car.
Will not take much to get it on road. I suspect an evening of someone that knows how to set the float and tune and it will pur like it did when I moved it from Chicago to Libertyville 8 years ago.
Here is the history..
I bought thier house after Grandma passed 8 years ago and this was in the garge in chicago. I gave it to my son as he is turning 16 but he has his eyes on my dodge truck . if he can sell this I will let him have mine. Very good looking car! and with the new models out now , its only gonna jump up in price like the camaros etc did. willing to take trades 4x4 trucks,Dodge ram 4x4 pickup( is what my kid wants) Great investment! This will only go up in value not down like most things! Keep that in mind!
prefer cash. thankyou pics to come soon
This is over 40 years old and a classic in very good shape for its age and location. I have had many good offers but they did not spark our interest enough. If its a trade it will have to be something that is equal in value. No rust buckets or crazy high miles. must be a decent good condition running/looking 4x4 extended cab Dodge Ram pickup. 360 or maybe 318.
We do reserve the right to end this auction early as it is advertised locally. If someone comes up with a nice red,black 99 and up Dodge ram 1500,2500 ext cab 4x4 it will be gone. I have the original clear title.
again this is all original all numbers matching been in our family I think for its entire life, just seen pics of it new with proud grandpa and my father next to it. both R.I.P Dodge lives on!
STARTING BID .99 CENTS NO RESERVE BID TO WIN!!!
Ask all questions before you bid or buy. This beautiful storage fresh car will need to be trailered it is not a daily driver but certainly was and could be easily. This was a Chicago car in the city so doesn't have a lot of miles we lived up here and they only drove out twice as that was TOO far to drive for them. There is no warranty it is being sold honestly and with all good intentions from our family as is as shown. don't pass it up you wont be disappointed and you have a great chance to get this car at a great price. Bid to win. Questions welcomed. Do not expect to work on it in my driveway .Send a flatbed or rent a trailer for 50 bucks from uhaul . It does move freely and everthing seems to work. Just needs a little tlc to get it started. Garage was dry .More pics to come when the the snow is gone. thank you

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
Roadkill builds crazy-cheap 1968 Dodge Charger rat rod using an old motorhome
Tue, 24 Dec 2013Certain requests for description simply cannot be fulfilled, like if someone asked you to describe Picasso's Guernica or Gilliam's Brazil. There is only one appropriate answer to such entreaties, and that is: "You just gotta see it." That's where we are with the latest episode of Roadkill, wherein Messr's Freiburger and Finnegan dig out a 1968 Dodge Charger that Freiburger acquired in exchange for a set of cylinder heads, and intend to stuff it with the big-block motor from a long-bed, three-quarter ton Dodge pickup.
Only the pickup is too nice to tear apart, and the Charger needs a whole lot more lovin' - and parts - than initially expected. Enter, stage right, the Class A Dodge Pace Arrow motorhome with a 440 big-block purchased for $1,000, and a retired Plymouth Fury from a previous episode.
What ensues over the course of the 40-minute installment is more cuttin', yankin', leakin', stallin', hammerin' and smokin' action than you've seen in a long time, and some techniques that would have made even Cooter wonder, "I'm not sure if we should do that." By the end, though, the payoff is good enough to make you think about perusing AutoTrader for a '68 Charger just to see if maybe...
Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
