I have had this car since 2004 and will describe it to the very best of my ability.  I am not real eager to sell, but other things have priorities.  This is a 1969 dodge charger, was a factory ac car, but ac is long gone.  I have a non ac heater box that will go with the car, but it is not installed.  I never drove the car in cold weather so I never installed it.  So no heat, no air.  Original engine was a 383 2 barrell.  Now has a 1969 440 hp motor.  Rear end is a 3:55 suregrip, automatic transmission.  vin matches title, dash trunk lip and radiator support. clean, clear title.

Ok good points.  Engine was rebuilt and I have put just over 2000 miles on it.  transmission was rebuilt as well.  Brand new sure grip rear end installed last summer.  I have about 500 miles on it.  Gas tank , sending unit, all lines are new.  Car has 4 wheel drum brakes,  all new lines, booster, master cylinder and brake components.  Could stop better, but it is a drum brake car.  All the wiring is new from Year one. that includes dash harness rear light harness , forward light harness, all of them.  I spent lotsa money on factory wiring for this car.  Alternator, starter, hp manifolds, power steering pump, radiator, are all new and also from year one.  Paint is about 2 years old. It isnt a show car paint job, but is very presentable.    I had trunk pan , extensions, and rear crossmember replaced.  Both rear quarters were replaced, prior to my ownership.  vaccum headlights work as they should.  I installed dynamat on the door panels and floor boards as well as new carpert and new center console.  Exhaust system was installed last year with dynamax mufflers.  Not a concourse factory job, but its ok. 

Bad points.  The front end is original and has not been changed, at least to not  my knowledge.  The car drives straight without any issues, but it was my intent to have it upgraded eventually.  It needs a rear leaf spring shackle bushing installed on the drivers side.  The interior is all original.  and looks ok.  I would probably only replace the seat covers and the headligner.  There is a mouse hole under the passenger side sunvisor.  Look at the pics and you can tell.  Not bad, but to be perfect, they need changed, but perfectly fine for me now as a driver car. missing back cover on passenger seat.  Door panels are nice as well as the door pads, especially for 45 years old.  windows all roll up and down fine, except the right rear. It works, but needs guided with your hand.  It has a bad nylon roller,  Not a big issue, expecially being a general lee, but wanted to point it out.  radio is an am radio and is for looks.  I wanted the factory appearance, but really have no desire for am radio.  It does leak some oil and the power steering box recently started leaking, Iam pretty sure from the rear seal needs replaced.  Not a major issue for as often as I drive the car, but I wanted to point them out. 

General lee stuff.  It has high quality decals installed a year ago, push bar and roll bar are an exact match from the show.  Cb is the cobra 78x as the original general lees, it is mounted but not wired to the car.  has  the correct tear drop antenna.  Wheels are american racing vecors 8.5 on the rear with 245 60 r 15 bfg and 15x7 up front running 235 60 r 15.  Tires are all in good shape,  Same 2000 miles on them.  The sunvisors were signed by john schneider on the drivers side and tom wopat on the passenger side.  The tail lights are from a Original tv series general lee and have the plaque mounted on them from when they were purchased from warner bros.  Has the dixie horn, but factory horn is still functional. 

All in all it is a very nice driver General Lee that gets tons of attention and blows away other cars at the car shows.  It is a blast for sure.  I usually just drive it around locally, and have not driven it on any where more than a 60 mile round trip, so whether or not you can pick it up and drive it home across country.   Your guess is as good as mine.  I wouldnt, but thats just me.

I think I have covered it pretty well, althogh I am sure Iam forgetting something.  if you have any questions or need additional pics please email me.

I require a $250 dollar non refundable deposit immediately after the auction closes. 

If you want to inspect it before you bid, that is fine, and I encourage it.

Prefer cash pickup in person, but  if you have it shipped, I will not release the car until the entire purchase price clears the issuers bank.

Thank you

Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014


Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.

Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
