1978 Dodge Magnum GT Coupe

 

Offered for sale, this very rare 1978 Dodge Magnum GT.  A true GT, even though the side emblems show XE (they all started as XE's). The original fender flares, aluminum dash and other features were only found and installed on the GT model.  This magnum looks a bit tired and frumpy, but overall is in fair/good shape.  It is straight, solid and with no apparent body damage.  The paint is tired and does not shine anymore, and is faded and deteriorated somewhat on the hood and trunk as well as the flares (the previous owner had the car in Texas).  There are some rust issues - mostly surface discoloration - but there are a couple of small holes on the floor pans (behind the driver seat).  The worst is on the underneath of the trunk lid near the edge at the bottom (doesn't look too nice).  The t-tops are in great shape, so is the glass and the windshield.  The bumpers are straight and shinny and are in good shape.  All the trim, stainless and aluminum, etc. is in very good shape and is straight and does not show any damage.  the rear lenses are in very nice condition and the front lenses are fair/good condition, they should/could be buffed up.  The wheels are fair, but show some rust here and there (two of the original wheels are in the trunk along with the bumpers guards).  The tires are so-so (show some slight dry rot and/or wear).  The interior is in fair to good condition.  The dash and instrument panel, steering wheel, etc. are in nice condition (there are a few small cracks on the dash pad).  The door panels, hard vinyl panels, etc. are in fair to nice condition, and are all there.  The seats are in fair to good shape except for the driver seat, which should either be repaired and/or reupholstered.  A set of seat covers might be good enough.  The carpet will need to be replaced (it was removed by the previous owner).  The 360 V8 engine starts, runs and sounds as it should.  The car does drive ok on short distance drives or while moving it around (I have not driven it for any distance or on the highway).  The brakes feel rather soft.  I would highly recommend that the car be shipped or trailered to its new destination.  Overall this is a car well worth restoring, way too nice and complete to be used only as a parts car.  The car is attractively priced with a low/reasonable reserve.

These B Body Magnums are truly a collector car since they were only manufactured for two years (1978 and 1979).  I had purchased this GT because of its rarity and also as a spare for my other 1978 Dodge Magnum 2Dr Coupe XE which is in remarkable and excellent original condition with only 36,500 miles.  This Magnum XE is also for sale as well as many extra parts (exterior trimwork, extra tail lights, interior hard vinyl panels and trim, etc., etc.) that I had aquired to have as replacement parts on hand for these rare cars.  The Magnum XE and the extra parts are not a part of this aucton, but are available for purchase upon inquiry.

Please note this car will be sold on a Bill of Sale only.  A $520 deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal with the remainder of the balance due via Bank Wire or cash in person upon pick up.  The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. Car is sold as-is and sale is final.  Thanks for looking!
