You are bidding on a 1966 Dodge Charger .383, which I have owned for several years. This car runs and drives great. I have done all of the heavy lifting, so someone simply needs to give this car some TLC to make it awesome.

The following is a summary of everything I have done to the car (I am sure I am leaving something out):

The engine has not been rebuilt, but was pulled, and had all the gaskets and seals replaced. Select parts were repainted. The engine well was sand blasted and painted. The engine runs very strong.
There are no issues with the transmission - it shifts perfectly.
I added a brake booster and dual reservoir master cylinder, so the car stops very well.
Carb, alternator, water pump, etc. have been replaced, as have all the hoses and belts. I have an extra carb. and rebuild kit that come with the car.
The car was completely rewired - new harness, wiring, etc.
All lights, instruments, etc. work great.
The instrument cluster is a Chrysler, period specific cluster, but not original to the car. It looks and works great. I do have the original that can be rebuilt, which comes with the car.
The head lamps open and close perfectly!
The carpet and headliner were replaced.
The wheels were sand blasted and repainted.
The floor pans and trunk pans have been replaced.

The following are issues that need to be addressed:

This car needs to be sand blasted and repainted. It was sandblasted down to bare metal about 5-6 years ago. I personally ensured any and all rust was replaced with new metal, with as little filler as possible. However, the paint has faded and bubbled in some areas, and there are very obvious issues with the paint (it sat outside at a Classic Car dealership in the area for a year or so).
Some of the metal has pitting, which is common. The chrome needs attention.
The tires need to be replaced before the car can be driven any significant distance.
Although I replaced all the carpet and the headliner, I have done very little to the rest of interior. The seats need re-upholstered.
The emblems are what I would consider driver quality, but could be refurbished.
The A/C does not work. I have not attempted to fix, and do not know what it would take to resolve.

In short, this car is structurally and mechanically sound. The vast majority of the issues are cosmetic, so you could drive and enjoy this car while these issues are addressed. Please feel free to contact me for more details - I am committed to a fair transaction for both myself and the buyer.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
