1968 Dodge Charger Base Hardtop 2-door 7.2l on 2040-cars

1968 Dodge Charger hard top with 1968 440 4bl engine and 727 transmission. Car was originally fit with a 383 engine. This is a super nice project restoration for someone to do. The correct color of this car is green, someone at on time repainted it. I'm not sure if the interior is from a 69 or 68 Charger or not. I have owned this car since 2007 and have decided to let it go to someone who is good with Mopars or has that damn bug of restoring true classics to keep them on the road. If you look closely at the pictures you can see that the interior is all there from dashboard to rear seats just waiting for proper attention. The dash is in good shape with the exception that there is a small crack in the middle of it, nothing major or distracting. This is not a basket case car like a number of them that you will come across. The chrome trim is in wonderful shape as well as the door and rear window glass. There is a small round rock chip in the windshield. The passenger compartment floors are in not too bad of shape. There are some rust holes in front of the front seat section and slight surface rust in the rear. The roof is solid with just light surface rust. The panel just below the window is solid and not rotted out . I ripped out the shag carpet(?) that was on the floor to see what was under there. I was pleasently surprised to find what I found, solid under the front seat and in the rear.. The rear is fine. The rear trunk floor area will have to be replaced as you can see in the pictures. On the passenger side rear roof where around where you would attach a complete quarter panel there is a slight indentation. No worries due to you would be replacing the rear quarters with full ones anyway. The outer rockers will need to be replaced. The rear quarters will need replacing, the outer wheel wells will need replacing, the front fenders will need replacing, the doors are solid and seem to be from a 69 Charger due to the door lock position on them. I would prefer to have them that way to keep the thieves from unlocking and stealing the car, at least slow them down if they decide not to destroy the windows. The rear trunk lid can use a little media blasting to clean them up. The front hood could also use media blasting. This is an A/C car by the way. It looks to have been converted from a column shift to a floor shift. The floor console has a crack to the rear of it and all of the windows roll up,down and are unbroken. You are not going to be able to just get in and drive as I mentioned there is no engine in the car. This is a super nice project car for someone. .....Did I forget to mention that there will be extra parts such as doors from a 68 Charger--these are shells, There are also another 2 pair of doors that have windows in them that are rust free. There are a total of 6 doors that are original and mostly rust free. Two of the doors have a small dent, nothing major, the shells have a small amount of rust and bondo on them. I bought 2 front fenders that were from a 69 Charger that have some rust on them but nothing that concerns me, I could make them work fine as they are far better than what's on the car right now. There are also a (couple) of replacement front grills that will be going with the car too. One is from a 68 Charger and the other is the frame with a partial grill with damage to the left plastic section from a 69 Charger. These are not after market parts, all original Mopar products. Very expensive and difficult to locate. There are seat covers that are tan in color that are new from Legendary Interiors that I was going to dye and install that are going with the car. I also have a front bumper that is in good driver condition and a front used valance panel that goes with this car from a 69 Charger. I have a rear bumper with the frame attached from a 69 Charger that also goes....There's a nice floor shift console with the shifter connected to a floor section to be welded in a car that you may want to convert that was cut out of the donor car that is in great shape too. I have a left and right front fender splash shields that are also included. There are 2 very nice tail lamps with the housing that are included. There are at least 5 Charger script emblems and 2 badges that go along also. Lots of car and lots of parts....If you bought this car with parts included for, lets just say 11,000.00 and put what would be about 5000.00 in parts into it, if done right you could have a car worth twice as much or more, and have a very nice investment or collectors bragging rights. You do the math. You make the bid, bid to win, you're going to get a great deal. I think I forgot to mention that this car has a posi rear end. I don't know the make, but I sure as hell know it's there. If you need more information, email and I will answer as soon as I can. To be fair to bidders I do not give the reserve price, you'll have to bid the highest on what it's worth to you. This car is for sale not for bidders to bid and then decide if you want it or not. I don't play that, I'm serious. This is a binding contract and I will treat it that way. Once you bought it, it is yours. If you can't afford to bid please don't. If you have less than 10 feedbacks, or more than 2 neg. feedbacks and would like to bid contact me first or you may be cancelled out. This car is also being sold locally and I have the right to end this auction early. I try to be straight with you and I expect the same. Thanks for looking and bid to win. Good Day.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts
Tue, 08 Jul 2014When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
