This is a very nice 1949 Dodge Coronet in original condition.  Using the Old Cars Report Price Guide rating system, I would place this car between a 2 and a 3 on the Vehicle Condition Scale.

This car was repainted original equipment Island Green sometime in the mid-1980's.   It has been in good dry storage since then.  The car had 67,256 miles when  I purchased it in September of 1990.  The car now has 67,421 miles.  Thus, I have decided to sell the car, since I have had little opportunity to drive and enjoy it.   As far as I know, this mileage is accurate.

The interior is original.   The driver seat has a split seam which is shown in one of the pictures.  The front floor mat is original.  It has become brittle with age, When I raised it to have access to replace the brake master cylinder, it crumbled.  Both front door armrests have been recovered.   The headliner is original, with no holes or tears.   All gages work.  The radio does not work.

The rubber trunk mat is not original.   However, it was manufactured to fit a '49 Dodge.

The chassis and drivetrain are completely original.  There is oil seepage on the engine oil pan, but not to the extent that it drips.  Five knew B.F. Goodrich wide WSW tires were installed in July, 2013.  A new fuel pump was installed in June, 2011.   The brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders have been replaced at some time during my ownership.  Underhood is original.

The car maintains good oil pressure and constant engine temperature.  It has never overheated.

This is originally an Iowa car.  The floor pans, trunk, and fenders are rust free.  To my knowledge, this car has never had any body damage or rust repaired.  During my 24 years of ownership, I have seen no evidence of previous body work deteriorating.   All chrome and stainless trim appear to be original.

Shipping is the responsibility of the successful bidder.

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."

Travis Pastrana signs with Dodge for another year, brings partner Bryce Menzies [w/video]

Sun, 14 Apr 2013

Dodge and SRT Motorsports announced that the Dodge Dart will be returning for its sophomore season of the Global Rallycross Championship with a two-car team fielded by Pastrana Racing. Travis Pastrana drove his GRC Dart to victory lane in the fourth race of the car's inaugural season, and his race team is looking for even more success with the addition of off-road racer Bryce Menzies behind the wheel of the second car.
The 2013 GRC season kicks off on April 21 in Brazil with plenty of dirt-spewing, ramp-jumping action. Scroll down for a video from the cars' main sponsor, Red Bull, and a press release from Chrysler.
