This Charger is an R/T clone car, originally a 318.  The car was brought here from New Mexico and sat in a warehouse for many years until I bought it 2 yrs ago.  The car had exceptionally little rust, but was hit in a couple places requiring the passenger side quarter to be replaced with a new AMD piece.  The left front fender was replaced with an original NOS fender as well as an NOS lower front valence.  It also appears to have had some quarter panel work done early on in it's life on the drivers side, probably from a fender bender.  


The entire car was sandblasted except outer body panels which were taken down to steel.  Everything was professionally repaired and refinished using quality products.  The car was painted professionally in a downdraft booth, and looks very nice.  This car is not a trailer queen, but a very very nice car you can actually drive and enjoy.  The chrome trim on the car was all excellent due to the western climate so it was cleaned up and retained.  The stainless trim was all hand polished on a professional buffing system.  The grill is near perfect, but I did put new outer trim on it due to the anodizing fading.  The bumpers are new AMD.  I do have new front bumperettes, which go with the car.  I just thought it looked cleaner without it.  

The drivetrain is out of an original 69 Charger 383 HP and runs and drives super.  It is all original and correct down to the carb, distributor, exhaust manifolds, etc.. It has a brand new radiator which looks stock but is not original.  Even though the air cleaner pie plate says 440 Magnum it is indeed a 383 Magnum.  I did not do a front end suspension kit on this car because it didn't need it, but it has been aligned and drives nice.  New fuel tank, fuel pump, water pump, dual exhaust, shocks, etc.

The interior is very nice with the unusual buddy seat in between the buckets vs the more commonly seen counsel.  The radio does not work and the radio plate really should be replaced, it is the only real defect on the interior.  I didn't spend the money because 90% of people install an aftermarket stereo anyway.  The carpet, headliner, rear package tray, drivers front armrest, seat foam and covers are new.  Everything else is OEM. Even though the lower dash pad has vents for A/C it is an original non A/C car which is very unusual coming from New Mexico.  The dash pads are out of another Charger and are perfect.   New windshield and gasket.  Remainder of glass is decent.  

In summary I would like to say that this Charger is a super nice car overall and I don't think anyone would be disappointed with it.  I am a detail freak and have sold a fair number of old Mopars that I have restored to many happy people who still own them today.  Bid with confidence.

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop hits the pavement ahead of Detroit

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

Dodge is getting ready to spread the Blacktop-themed love to the smallest member of its lineup. Last year, the automaker offered up Blacktop versions of the Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey. And now the Dart, too, gets its dark on for 2014, with the $295 package offered on Dart SXT models equipped with the Rallye Appearance Group. The Dart Blacktop will make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week.
As with the other Blacktop special-edition models, the Dart Blacktop gets glossy black accents for a "sporty, sinister look." The blacked-out treatment spreads across the 18-inch wheels to the crosshair grille, grille surround and headlamp bezels. The interior sees a similar treatment, with black and light tungsten or black and ruby red cloth to go with red accent stitching on the instrument panel, center console and seat bolsters.
For the 2014 model year, all Dart SXT and Limited models receive the 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark engine with 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, and since the Blacktop is based on the SXT, that's the powerplant buyers of this special-edition will get, too. Expect the 2014 Dart Blacktop to hit dealers in the first quarter, and while you're waiting, feel free to read more in the official press release below.
