1968 Dodge Charger - Excellent "original" Project - Drive While You Restore on 2040-cars

1968 Dodge Charger.  Basically an original, never restored car.  Has from what I can tell a year correct 440  engine (Stamped  D 440), but was originally a 383 car.  Your going to have a hard time finding a complete project car like this one, ready for a quick and easy restoration.  Car sat for 3-4 years, I got it running (this past weekend) so it can be driven in and out of the shop and I replaced the Master Cylinder so it would stop.

I removed the front windshield and rear glass to inspect any damage from the vinyl top, all the seams and around the windows were good etc but the roof itself (top) and the sail panels needed some attention.  All of that work has been completed and car is ready for a new vinyl top.  Body is straight, I have a lower RH quater patch panel as most likely a tire blew out and dented the original panel in.  It needs to be pulled out or I would recommend installing the patch.  Rust bubbles here and there but nothing that is real bad (I would just do 80 grit, treat the rust from backside, and use panel bond to fix and should be good to go).  Car can be in the paint booth fast.  Original trunk looks great, a couple of spots on the corners that have holes but this is hands down the best Charger trunk I've seen.  Trunk drip rails, all great condition.  I pulled the hood and the trunk lid off, took those for bead blast and are primed with PPG (professionally done).  I have not re-installed the hood yet, will do so this weekend.

Interior is all original stuff, needs to be gone through.  It appears to be all there, from the carpet to even the original radio, and rear defrost.

Condition of the Electrical system is unknown, I hotwired the car to start and drive it.

Check my feedback, I have sold numerous classic cars, motorcycles, (about 2-3 per year) etc since 2005 with 100% excellent feedback and have dealt with overseas buyers in the past so no worries (again check my seller feedback).  All funds must post before car leaves my garage.  I am an honest seller and expect the same from potential buyers.  Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.  Not going to find many 68 Chargers like this, thanks for looking.

I do have another 68 Charger that will be going onto Ebay in another week, if your looking for multiple '68 Chargers.

 

NOTE: I am having problems with uploading the pictures of the car, please check back in a day or two.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.
