1969 Dodge Charger - Solid 383 Car on 2040-cars
College Station, Texas, United States
1969 Dodge Charger, 383 car. I would call condition Driver Quality. Please view pictures for best description of the overall condition. All the parts I have for the car are on it, so if you don't see it I don't have it - sorry. Underneath of the car looks very good, no rust that I can see in the rails or torque boxes. Some rust/soft areas in the inner fender wells, but overall remarkably good condition underneath for a '69 Charger. Paint: Paint is not ideal, 15 footer, has the following defects: Paint has rust in the exterior of the hood (see pics), 2 rust spots on tail light panel (see pics), 1 spot on rear lower valance where bondo was used, large scratch down passenger side low (see pics), and other miscellaneous scratches/dings etc. The good: quarters were replaced, trunk floor appears to have been replaced, and from >15ft or at night the car looks great. Could easily fix the bad spots with a color match, I haven't tried to cover any of it. The R/T stripe, badge, and Hemi stickers were added (this is not an R/T or Hemi Car). Engine: The 383 runs very strong, obviously rebuilt at some point. Car has not been driven in a while, other than started periodically in storage so it needs to get out and run. Fuel tank is recent, new fuel filter, carb was disassembled and cleaned recently. Idles good, no hesitation, gets up and goes. Interior: Needs to be redone/reupholstered. Original headliner, dash pad, missing the correct rear seat, some genius put in a rear seat from a '74 that obviously doesn't fit right. I do have a blue original 1969 rear seat I can include for a $350 adder to the final sale price. Floors are good, has fiberglass in the driver side, I would have used metal personally but it's solid and doesn't flex. Mechanical: Just finished a brake job on the car, drums up front and in back. Car will have a new brake booster (not shown in pics). Has a popping noise in the front suspension, needs to be rebuilt. Car needs new tires, they are bad. I have the 4th 14" wheel and it is included in the auction (I will keep the rally wheel and put a roller in it's place). The front headlight wiring harness is missing (from the connector at the batter tray to the headlights) and the vacuum equipment/lines is missing so headlights do not work. Obviously doors can be lifted manually. My recommendation would be to have the front end rebuilt (I think the kit is $300-400) before the car will be road worthy. Motor runs strong so no worries there. I've described the car to the best of my ability, I have 100% feedback, and intend to keep it that way. Please ask any questions, I will answer accordingly. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Overseas bidders are welcome, and I have sold cars over the years worldwide feel free to check my excellent feedback on those transactions. Vehicle will not leave my possession until funds post in full. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding on this '69 Charger, and please check my other auctions as I have 4 cars that will be up for sale (1970 Dodge Charger, 1969 Firebird, 1968 Chevelle) to fund my new projects.

Dodge celebrates big B-day with 100th Anniversary Editions muscle cars
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Being in business for 100 years is a HUGE milestone, so we hope Dodge has more in mind to celebrate its centennial than just a special edition package for the 2014 Charger and Challenger. Called the 100th Anniversary Edition package, this collection of cosmetic enhancements will be available in limited quantities for both cars at a cost of $2,500.
Ordering a Charger or Challenger with the 100th Anniversary Edition package means starting with either a V6-powered SXT Plus or V8-powered R/T Plus model. They can each be ordered in many colors, but only the High-Octane Red Pearl Coat above is an anniversary exclusive. Each car also comes with an anniversary-exclusive set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels with what Dodge calls "Granite Crystal pockets," a texture that's also mirrored on each car's grille.
Of course, there are commemorative badges galore affixed to the exterior of each car, including "Dodge Est. 1914" fender badges and "100" logos on the center caps of each wheel. The styling theme of each car's interior is a bit more interesting, with Dodge designers trying to evoke "the patina and machinist legacy of John and Horace Dodge," the company's founders. To that end, the leather interior can be had in Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa, and each features a custom cloud overprint that makes the hide look like a working man's dirty dungarees. Designers also used brass-colored accent stitching on the interior's leather trim pieces, and affixed more "Dodge Est. 1914" badges to the front seat backs and floor mats. We do like the flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the Challenger 100th Anniversary Edition gets exclusive white gauges faces and the Charger black. The "100" on each car's speedometer is also highlighted in red.
Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
