Hi everybody. This beast belongs to my neighbor who is not internet active. He has been tinkering with this machine for as long as I have been his neighbor, and he loves the car very much, but must sell it for health reasons. So I offered to list it for him. 

I sat down with him and he told me all about the car, and took me for a ride. 

The car is a 1969 DODGE CORONET R/T 440 CONVERTIBLE. It is red with black trim, black interior, and a beautiful black top that functions perfectly on this convertible. 

73,511 miles

IT IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO! He has the original radio and will include it in this auction. The car runs and drives very well and is fully functional. 

He bought this car NEW in February of 1970 and has the original title! 

I confirmed online that it is one of only 317 made. He thinks it may be rarer than that, as it has some special features that may make it one of a kind. It was built by Dodge for the dealership owner at North Shore Dodge here in Wisconsin, and he thinks Dodge might have given it special touches for the dealer, like the front AND rear bumper guards on the chrome fenders. Other features: 

  • 440 automatic
  • 3.23 Rear End
  • Original Drivetrain 
  • MANUAL BRAKES
  • Oversize Drums
  • Bubble Hood
  • Low back buckets
  • Power Steering
  • Lighting Group
  • Firestone 500 Tires
  • Radiator is painted but original
  • Replaced water pump - will include original
  • Replaced alternator
  • Replaced brake lines and rebuilt wheel cylinders about 15 years ago
  • Needs tail pipes and mufflers are starting to go
  • Needs heat raiser spring
  • Needs column rebuild
  • Trunk and floors are still SOLID
  • Doors have nicks and small dents but no rust!
Ready to be restored! 

He would love to speak with you about your plans. Please come see the car in person if you can! Run any questions by me via email and I will go next door and ask him. 

You can see some bondo in the pictures and there is some rust in the places you would expect. 

Let me know if there are other pics or videos you want me to take and I will email them to you, as eBay allows only 24 pics. 

We went for a ride and the car sounds angry in an awesome way. I videotaped our short ride for you but the video does not do the growl of this car any justice. I also did a video of the engine, and a short video of the top closing. eBay won't let me include the links, so please go to YouTube and do a search for each of the following codes to see each video:

If you are out of town I can help you set up shipping via my friends at uship.com. Buyer is of course responsible for shipping costs. 

$250 due within 3 days. Full payment due within 10 days. 

Thanks for checking it out and be sure to send me your questions! I have perfect feedback that I am willing to put on the line to help out my neighbor who needs to pay some health bills.

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.

Daily driving a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

Tue, Feb 9 2016

I took delivery of my 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat at Ron Carter Dodge in League City. Bobby Pate and the entire Ron Carter team made the buying experience painless. Thanks, guys! It was worth the nine-month wait to get a new Challenger Hellcat at sticker price. My Hellcat is Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl with a black interior. The car has the six-speed manual transmission and UConnect. Yes, I know the eight-speed automatic is faster, but the manual transmission provides a level of enjoyment that must be experienced to be appreciated. My original intention was to write daily about my experiences with the Hellcat, but I have been having too much fun with the car. The first 100 miles required incredible self-control to keep the car under 55 mph and engine speed under 3500 rpm. The difference in the driving experience after 500 miles was – and I am only exaggerating a little – life altering!The Red Key To paraphrase Morpheus in The Matrix, "You take the black key, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red key, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." The black key is in a place where it will stay until the red key is snatched from my cold, dead hand. The red key is the only key. The red key is "The Key." All 707 horsepower are available with the red key. You can lower the horsepower to only 500 using the SRT pages, I have heard, but why? I have driven the Hellcat in bumper-to-bumper Houston traffic in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat in the pouring rain in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat to the mall, to the grocery store, to the movies, and to Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland for a 100% Japanese Wagyu steak from the Kagoshima Prefecture. (It was a birthday present from my son. My money goes into the gas tank of my Hellcat.) Just for fun, I used the SRT Pages to put the car in valet mode. For those of you who do not know, valet mode limits the horsepower to: oh, hell! Who cares? The car felt like the parking brake had not been disengaged. I have heard rumors that the Tremec six-speed transmission has a 1-4 skip-shift feature. My Hellcat has never been subjected to this travesty.Questions, questions, and more questions Q: How much over sticker did you have to pay? A: Zero Q: What kind of gas mileage do you get? A: ROTFL Q: How did you ever talk your significant other into letting you buy the Hellcat? A: I didn't ask.

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon sheds seats and insulation to drop weight

Tue, Jan 31 2017

You've probably already heard that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be lighter than the Hellcat Challenger – to tune of more than 200 pounds. What you probably don't know is that the Dodge team did it by dropping most of the seats, along with a few other tricks. The Demon loses 113 pounds by making the front passenger seat with its seatbelt (58 pounds) and back seat (55 pounds including restraints and floor mats) optional, which accounts for a large chunk of the weight loss compared to the Hellcat. The Demon also has unique 18-by-11-inch wheels, which are 16 pounds lighter than the Hellcat's, a manual tilt/telescope steering column instead of the powered one, which loses four pounds, and an 18-pound loss thanks to removing 23 noise, vibration, and harshness parts (the Demon will not be a quiet car, to say the least). Another 20 pounds is lost removing the trunk interior trim and spare tire. Still, the Demon gains 17 pounds thanks to the wide fender flares that accommodate the massive drag radials, which also add 3.5 inches to the car's width. For reference, the lightest Hellcat weighs 4,448 pounds with a manual transmission, and the automatic-equipped car comes in at 4,455 pounds. The Demon will be revealed in April before the New York Auto Show, and Dodge will continue to tease its latest satanic muscle couple weekly until then.
