78 Dodge Magnum GT. Original 400 4bbl, auto.  Previous owner claimed it has a rebuilt engine and I agree. It has never given me any trouble. Runs strong and sounds awesome with the big block rumble. Runs cool. Engine compartment is very clean.

Originally a black car. Has been repainted on an arrow straight (rust and bondo free) body. Has original GT flares and a Magnum Force rear spoiler with graphics.  Interior is gorgeous red velour. Not velvet! Original material used by Chrysler, with Pentastars sewn into front headrests. Dash has 2 small cracks, otherwise interior is perfect! T Tops work perfectly and lock solid. Doors do not hang. Perfect original headliner.

All lights work as they should. Brakes work great. Power windows work. Has factory CB, AM/FM radio! Carpet has no tears. Trunk is as solid as day one. No rust anywhere on car!!  Tires are like brand new and are mounted on 15" Chrysler cop car rims with chrome centercaps. New 15" spare.  Bumpers have been powder coated black. Hood and trunk open and close nicely.

Dual exhaust sounds awesome and ends up with roadrunner "Machine Gun" tips. Rides very smoothe and drives straight down the road. Good suspension.

The few imperfections are windshield has crack, front bumper has a scratch on top, small dent (the size of a quarter) on right side of roof which would be covered if the GT roof stripe was added, headlight doors work manually but motor not working, have never troubleshot it, windshield wipers inop (never troubleshot either) may be disconnected under dash.  Speedo bounces, I think is loose under dash. This is all I can think of that it needs, nothing major.

This car is car show ready and stands out from the crowd where ever you drive it. I believe you could drive it home, but imply no warranty (also, you would only get maybe 12mpg highway) its a musclecar!! So I'd advise trailering, but thats up to the winner.

Again, I have been as honest as I can and will be glad to aswer anything I may have missed, Greg 505-463-5829 call or text. I will answer.  I am selling this car because I am moving and must travel lightly. Low reserve, so I am needing to sell.

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card

Thu, Feb 16 2023

Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot.  CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.

Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world

Thu, 14 Aug 2014



"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."

Dodge brings Charger Widebody 'concept' to Spring Fest

Sun, Mar 24 2019

Last week we asked if an Instagram user had really seen a Dodge Charger Widebody cruising suburban Detroit. The answer is yes, he had. Dodge brought its Charger Widebody concept to Spring Fest 14, a celebration of everything built on Chrysler's LX platform. Note the use of the word "concept," and a Fiat Chrysler spokesperson telling journos, "We are taking a Charger design concept to Spring Fest to gauge feedback from the huge Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300 enthusiast base that attends the California event each year." Mark Trostle, head of design for Dodge and SRT, shared a few snaps of the Charger Widebody to Instagram. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Now ignore the word "concept." Of course a thing isn't done until it's done, but two years ago a thread on Charger Forums mused on a Photoshop of the sedan as a widebody. User ResumeSpeed chimed in to say, "Rear is not accurate as it's being revised. 2020 model year. Two Charger WB models: Hellcat and 392 Scat Pack." Fast forward to February of this year when Mopar Insider said its sources confirmed a thick-hipped Charger R/T Scat Pack and Hellcat with "drastically different looking front and rear fascias." Then, earlier this month, Allpar received a slide from what looks like an internal Dodge presentation explaining the "2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Wide Body." The sedan in the slide looks almost exactly like the "concept." And now this. They even designed it with the Dodge Durango SRT grille treatment, which seems like a logical part of that 2020 revision. Giving the Charger a nip and tuck, a little more tire, and a $6,000 surcharge similar to the Challenger Widebody makes too much sense to merely toy with and then file away. Check out this video for a complete walkaround, and stay tuned.
