Up for auction a great project 1968 Dodge Charger. The car started life with a 383 HP big block and an automatic 727 transmission on the floor. This car was ordered new in an odd format. The car was originally gold with gold interior and a white vinyl top. It has factory A/C, but what I found odd is that it was ordered with a tic-toc-tac but is an automatic car. Most automatic cars that I have owned did not have the tach and would only have a clock. The car also came with a 3.23 Sure-Grip 8 3/4 rearend. So I guess the original owner wanted a pretty decent muscle car, but didn't want the additional cost of an R/T model. Either way, It was an unusual, but very nice car back in the day.
The car is solid, for the most part, with typical Charger/B-body rust in the rear. The frame rails are solid with typical wear and tear from floor jacks, curbs, etc., but I could not see any rust issues on the rails. At some point in the car's past it was wrecked on the driver side. The exterior sheet metal was replaced but you can still see signs of damage in the left front wheel well and the left rear outer wheelhouse. Besides the left fender and quarter, the door was replaced too and it opens and shuts just fine. The car was repaired like most body shops did back in the day; they did an exterior cosmetic repair and didn't bother with the rest. The car has a nice woodgrain steering wheel and I did not notice any cracks. The interior was dyed/painted red. The carpet material was glued to the floors so I am not able to peel it back without ripping it to pieces. The floors (interior & trunk) were patched at some point and they hold up fine, but should be replaced if you plan to build the car to "show quality" standards. All in all, they car would be a great start for someone who has been looking for a Charger, but do not want to spend $10k for a project. I originally purchased the car with the intensions of doing a cheap low-buck Charger build. Kind of like the guys did on the show "Roadkill" (Youtube it... it's quite interesting). I have too many other Mopar projects and decided to sell it so that maybe someone else can enjoy it. The car shows 60,568 miles. I am not sure if that is the original mileage or is it has rolled over. The car has been off the road for many years, so it could possibly be accurate. The car does not have and engine or transmission. A few other missing parts that I can think of are the passenger bucket seat, grille assembly, rear seat, rear glass, driver side quarter glass, front and rear bumpers, radio, and misc trim. What you see in the pictures, is what will go with the car. I do not have a title for the car but I do have two Bill of Sales from the previous owners. After the sell, I will assist in getting a title for the car if you are interested. Here in MS, I can apply for a title with at least two BOS. The car DOES have it's original fender tag and it decodes as followed: For MANY additional pictures of this car, I have have set up a photo album at: http://s6.photobucket.com/user/CornDog05/library/1968%20Dodge%20Charger%20RED

What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
