Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Up for bids is a 1968 Dodge Charger with 318 Engine and 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission + some extras. The car is not running but is all original and is restorable. The new owner will need to have it towed to its new home. Transport / shipping is not included as part of the auction and is the buyer's responsibility. A down-payment of 1,000.00 via paypal is due within 24 hours of auction close and full payment is due within 7 days of auction close. The car must be picked up/moved within 14 days of auction close. If you're local to Charlotte, NC and want to see the car just let me know. I am not interested in trades, etc. This is a no-reserve auction and I'm starting it at a reasonable price.

I am the 4th owner of this car, I bought it to restore about 7 years ago and have not made any progress due to other projects.Since I've owned the car, it has been in inside storage. Prior to that it sat outside for a while, I don't know how long. The odometer reads 44,918 miles, I believe there are 144,918 miles on the car.

There is rust in the floor pans and the trunk pan and lip as well as the engine compartment and lip and a little in the doors and fenders. There are a few dents and dings as you can see in the pictures but nothing too bad. I've tried to show the major rust areas in the pictures so you can see what the condition is.

The car is equipped with A/C and power steering. Everything else is manual including brakes, windows, locks, seats, etc. The engine will not start, the starter clicked when I attempted to start it two weeks ago. The engine did turn when I bought the car. Engine, brakes and transmission need to be rebuilt.

The car originally had a dark green vinyl top that was removed by the prior owner to prevent the roof from getting too rusty.

I have a spare left rear quarter that I'd like to include as part of this sale as well as a 727 transmission rebuild kit and shop manual, and a spare set of wheels and the original hubcaps that came with the car. These should be of help in the restoration process.

I also have the original owner's manual and Dodge certicard that was issued to the owner upon purchase along with various paperwork for repairs over the years.

If you have questions about the condition of the car or want more details that I've left out, please ask.

Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop glosses over performance

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

The Dodge Dart is a decent little car. It's honest, basic transportation, and many of us at Autoblog are genuinely fond of the Alfa Romeo-based compact sedan. For 2014, not a whole lot changes in the Dart world, save the addition of this new Blacktop edition that makes its debut here at the Detroit Auto Show.
It's all very simple, this Blacktop package, and doesn't actually alter performance in any way. Instead, buyers are treated to blacked-out exterior bits like 18-inch wheels, the crosshair grille and headlamp bezels. Inside, black/tungsten or black/red cloth seats are available, with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin.
Adding the Blacktop pack to your Dart SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group will set you back a scant $295, and while it's just an appearance package, it all looks pretty nice to us.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.
