1978 dodge magnum, true survivor, little old lady car, i am the 3rd owner, i purchased the car from the granddaughter of the original owner, the original owner owned the car until 2012 when she passed away, the granddaughter got the car and then ended up selling the car to me, it is in great shape for the year, it spent its whole life inside a garage until 2012 which unfortunately it sat outside and i think that is when the dash got a crack in it, when i first saw the car there was no crack in the dash

it has all of its original paint, has never been in an accident, has some rock chips and couple dings here and there but overall a good buff and was would be amazing, the original 360 runs ok but could use some tlc from what i have been told the lean burn system is junk, so i know it needs a tune up would help a lot, the rh from brake caliper is sticking

there is no rust on the car anywhere, trunk is like brand new,solid everywhere,still has its original stickers and tags, headlight doors work perfectely,all lights and turn signals work great

will need tires as they are weather checked and not in good condition to drive on, i have a few pictures with the magnum wheels they are not included, i also added pinstripe since the first pictures

the spare has never been on the ground still has original jack and tire cover

interior is excellent condition but would need a few things to be perfect, all of the dome light lenses are gone except one from being old and brittle and they just fell apart, there are 2 small spots in the headliner about the size of a pencil eraser that are hold looks like a snag, will post pictures of those, the heater controls lever which controls hot and cold is bent and does not move

seats are near perfect no wear, carpet is like new,rear package tray is a little faded,8 track player works good, all lights and gauges work good,door panels are very nice

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
