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.

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."

SRT back to Dodge, Dart SRT, new Challenger, Charger and Caravan's death outlined in 5-yr plan

Tue, 06 May 2014

The onslaught of news from Fiat Chrysler's layout of five-year plans continued with Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis this morning, including the unexpected announcement that SRT was coming back into the fold.
After just a few years existing as an independent entity within the Fiat Chrysler universe, an unceremonious press release hit in conjunction with today's lineup of announcements, saying "the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand." Group CEO Sergio Marchionne thanked SRT headman Ralph Gilles for his dedication to the high-performance wing, calling out is efforts in expanding the vehicle lineup and including more customized models. He did not reference disappointing SRT Viper sales today, but we sense there's a bit of subtext.
With the SRT reunion at Dodge, it's appropriate that some of the most exciting product announcements for the next five years have to do with upcoming performance products. First out of the gate will be a refresh for that flagging Viper in 2015, which comes as little surprise.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
