1975 Dodge Dart Swinger, 2 door. 318 V-8, Auto trans, 8 1/4 rear with 2.45 gears.  Power steering, power disc brakes.  Completely rebuilt front suspension.  Car is nice.  

Car is pre-smog. No smog checks needed ever so you can modify anything you want under the hood. This car drives really nice and I would drive it anywhere and have driven it everywhere. 300 mile round trips from Lakewood, CA.  to Tehachapi and back with no problems. 250 mile round trip to Santa Barbara and back with zero problems. Countless trips to Hemet to visit family with zero defects. This is a great driving car.

Under the hood is a V-8, 318-2 barrell with electronic ignition. Engine is completely stock. Did an oil change about a month ago with 20w50 oil. Runs perfect. Carb has been professionally rebuilt and works great. Choke on 2 barrell carb works perfect on cold mornings. Car idles and runs great. Automatic transmission. Just had transmission serviced with new filter and fluid and adjusted the bands about 2 months ago. The 8 1/4 rear with 2.45 gears is like having an overdrive. Car cruises at 75mph on the freeway all day long at low rpm because of rear gear ratio. 

Car has power steering and power disc brakes that work great. The front suspension has been completely rebuilt and aligned. The heater works great. Blows very hot. All gauges work. All lights work. Wipers work. Everything works. Car has new carpet and new seats front and rear. Upholstery is new on all seats. Door panels and armrests are in great shape. I converted the car from a white and brown interior to an all black interior with new kick panels and door uppers too and it looks really good. Even has a new dash pad in it.

I added a Pioneer stereo, AM/FM with CD player and plug in for ipod to play through. Plus 4 new Speakers, 6 x 9's in rear and 5 inch speakers in front.

Has 15 inch Crager wheels with very good tires. 2 1/4 inch dual exhaust with Thrush mufflers. Not loud at all but you won't mistake it for a slant six either. Car sounds nice like a cruiser should.

Entire trunk has been sprayed with Rhino Liner truck bed liner to protect it from rust. The trunk is very solid. 

All in all this is a great car. It could use a repaint. It was painted 7 years ago and has been outside it's whole life, but the body is really straight and it would be easy work. I am only selling the car because my wife wants a car with A/C before this summer gets here and this car will be my down payment once I sell it. I really hate to part with it because it is such a good driving car but I have to. Hopefully someone will buy it and take good care of it and enjoy it as much as I have. 

Please send me a message if you have any questions,  Mike.

2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye priced $14,000 below Demon

Mon, Jul 2 2018

Steve Beahm, head of Passenger Car Brands at Dodge, SRT, Chrysler, and Fiat, told Motor Trend that the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is "a Hellcat that's been possessed by a Demon." Turns out the Hellcat Redeye was also possessed by The Ghost of Great Deals. Dodge just released pricing for the Challenger line, the crimson-eyed terror at the top starting at $69,650, which is $13,645 less dear than the $83,295 MSRP for the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon. The asterisk: the Redeye needs the same $1,345 destination charge and $1,700 gas guzzler tax as the 2018 Demon, so the difference still holds once you get the Redeye off the dealer lot. The final tally: $72,995. Torque News acquired a copy of the Challenger dealer order guide, and options on the Hellcat Redeye will run you a little more than the bucket of $1 options on the Demon. Among the list, the summer performance tires add $695, the optional 3.09 rear axle adds $1,095, a painted black hood costs $1,995, and the Widebody package adds $6,000 for it's extra 3.5 inches. According to TN, you can run a standard Hellcat Redeye up to almost $90,000, and push a widebody to $95,000. The standard Challenger SRT Hellcat gets touched by the bargain bogeyman, too: the price goes down by $5,645 for 2019 to $58,650, even though it's been uprated by ten horsepower to 717 hp, and by six pound-feet to 656 lb-ft. Out-the-door price after a $1,700 gas guzzler tax and $1,345 destination fee is $61,695. Before including destination, there's a long way down to the next model, the 485-horsepower Challenger R/T Scat Pack at $38,995. Buyers who choose the six-speed manual for this trim will pay a $1,000 gas guzzler tax. The V6-powered, 305-hp Challenger GT in two-wheel drive starts at $29,995. Sending power to all four of the GT's wheels needs $32,995 before destination. The base model, two-wheel drive SXT gets the Challenger doors open at $27,295, the all-wheel drive model costing $30,295. Related Video:

Jay Leno drives a 1970 Dodge Charger with 1,650 horsepower

Tue, Feb 23 2016

When Jay Leno says a vehicle might have too much horsepower, he's got our attention piqued. That's exactly what he thinks about the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum from Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance. While it still looks like a classic muscle car, the front end now features a carbon fiber hood and fenders. Underneath the lightweight parts, there's a twin-turbo, 9.0-liter Mercury Marine offshore boat racing engine with an astonishing 1,650 horsepower, or an only slightly less asinine 1,350 hp on pump gas. Jay is very mechanically intrigued by the Charger at the beginning of this video, and puts it on the lift to take a look at the underside. The engine plumbing is a thing of beauty, and the mill packs a massive radiator and intercooler to keep things running cool. Leno's drive in the Tantrum is especially interesting. The beastly engine is difficult to control, and anything above half throttle in most gears can spin the rear tires. The significant turbo lag also makes the power unpredictable. When Jay finally finds a straight piece of road, he puts the hammer down and rockets into the distance. And, of course, you know Jay's not going to end the video without some suitably smoking tires.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
