Please Read Carefully !

You are Bidding on 2 Cars! 

The First car is a "1958 Dodge Royal" Sedan in outstanding original condition, including paint, with 39,000 miles.  It is presently at my shop in Loris, SC.

The second car is a running 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Sedan that I purchased for a parts car for the 1958. It is presently at my shop in Proctor, VT

Please Note:  I will "not" sell the 57 by itself, however I would consider selling the 58 by itself or with the 57.  (The reserve is set for both cars)

I purchased the 1958 twenty years ago with 28,000 miles on it. It has never been stored or left outside. It has a "Clear South Carolina title" where it is presently registered and stored. I drove the car to SC from VT several years ago, it ran flawlessly and I use it on a regular basis. This is a beautiful original car. Car has never been repainted. Front chrome is beautiful and original. The original spare tire is still in the trunk.  Rear Chrome is showing a bit of age, but very presentable. Car runs and drives very well. Interior is beautiful!  

Car is original, and paint does show it age, paint is after all 55 years old ! This is not a show car, but a very presentable original winged warrior!

With that said however, there are several items that need attention. While partially in a bay at a local gas station/repair shop, an attendant accidentally raised the garage lift, without seeing that my car was partially over the lift. The gas tank was dented before stopping the lift.  There was no other damage done. The arm of the lift hit only the gas tank and dented it. Tank has never leaked, and damage was done 15 years ago.  However, gas gauge no longer works. 

Although the car has virtually no rust anywhere, moisture did get under the mat in the trunk and there is some rust, although I would consider it to be minor, there is a hole about the size of a quarter that goes through.

Both exhaust manifolds have cracks in them and need to be replaced. The parts car has two perfect manifolds on it. 

The pictures tell the story. This is not a distress sale, and I will not accept any offers that fall below the reserve. 

The Parts Car is a running car. Brakes do not work, although all parts with the exception of one wheel cylinder are there. Car shifts well.  There is substantial rust in the trunk, and in the floor boards, however, the frame is sound and with very little rust, (typical of the 57).  Engine and transmission are the same as the 58, 325 Red Ram with 3 speed automatic. 

Please note, cars are not located together. 58 is in SC and 57 is in VT.  I can provide transportation for one or both for an additional fee, or should you win the auction, please fee free to use your own transporter.There is no title to the parts car, however I have a signed registration from NY from the last owner, as well as a bill of sale.

If you have any questions, please ask before you bid. Your bid is a binding contract! Please e-mail or call 802-459-2070 
Obviously, at 55 and 56 years old respectively,  both cars are being sold "As Is" with no warranty expressed or implied.

Roadkill Nights writhes with 200 Dodge Vipers

Sun, Aug 13 2017

Some 200 Dodge Vipers from across the United States and Canada descended Saturday on Roadkill Nights, the FCA-sponsored event at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, that turned Woodward Avenue into a drag strip. The Vipers were there to mark this month's end of production of the wicked, hand-built, highly customizable performance car after 25 years. Vipers of every generation, color and stripe arrived en masse under a police escort, from the blue-and-white GTS-R to cars dressed in appropriate Snakeskin Green. Check out the gallery above. Halfway around the world, meanwhile, other Viper fans are trying to mark the car's production demise by claiming the record lap time at the Nurburgring. They ran a 7:03.45 lap in late July. And according to a Facebook post yesterday from the group, they've secured funding for more Ring time to make another attempt. Roadkill Nights racing was continuing until 11 Saturday night, and included drag events featuring the new Dodge Demon.

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip

Thu, Jul 20 2023

J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."  Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.

1 Of 1 Dodge Viper looks a fabulous mess in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Earlier this year, we told you about the new Dodge Viper 1 Of 1 program, which offers buyers the chance to customize their supercars to the tune of some 25 million different combinations. With 8,000 paint colors, 24,000 hand-painted stripe patterns, 10 wheel options, and 16 interior trims to choose from, you'd be right to think that the possibilities for personalization are endless, and can probably get a little weird. That's kind of what's going on here in Chicago, with a Viper showcar that's definitely... unique. It doesn't really look bad, necessarily. It's just kind of strange. We call this color job, "Oh no, there are tiny paint cans falling from the sky, but I simply can't stop driving 200 miles per hour." And when it came time to spec wheels, it looks like FCA US said, "Aw heck, let's just use all of 'em." You'll definitely want to take a look at this unique creation, in the gallery above. And be sure to let us know if you think this Viper is hot or not, in Comments. Related Video:
