This auction is for my 1970 Charger 500 SE - 1 of 2887 built and 1 of 963 painter Cream - Y3.  I purchased it in 1999, fully intending to restore it,  I had barely gotten started when I started having some health problems. Unfortunately, those4 problems also caused financial issues.  As much as I hated doing it, I started parting it out just to get by.  I am selling now that the buyer will restore it.  If not, there are still many usable parts or parts for resale. 

What makes this Charger, although not complete is that it is basically a matching numbers car.  I was able to find serial numbers on the dashboard VIN plate, the fender plate, the door jam sticker, the radiator support, the trunk stamp under the weather stripping, and also on the engine.  What is not original are a 4 barrel, air cleaner, manifold and heads.  He had also pit a set of Crager mags on the front, so there are only original hubcaps and they are included.  The hubcaps  I put on I believe are 1638.  The drivers side fender must have been dined as it paint does not match.  In addition to the matching numbers, I also have and almost complete window sticker, 2 build sheets, the drivers manual and the original warranty card.  I bought the car from the second owner, but he new the original purchaser.  The car had not been started for quite a while before I bought it and I have not started it either.  The car does have some issues.  I parted out basically most of the interior, the front bumper, grill and valance, the radiator, the rear bumper, tail lights and finish panel.  Having been parked outside, there is some rust.  The rear frame rails, the torsion bar cross member, the front floor pans, the trunk panels, the lower rear quarter panels and the rear valance will need to be replaced or repaired. The fenders are OK with the exception of the usual spot behind the Penstar emblem, just a bit on the lower edge of the doors and rocker panels. underside of the hood and the lip of the trunk and under the vinyl top,  This is about average for a northern car. The wiring harness will need to be repaired as the previous owner had added two speakers under the dash and a trailer hitch.

 

The car has straight sides and does include all the chrome (very minor swirling) and minor pitting on the quarter windows and mirror.  In addition, the glass is very good with only minor scratching on the back window and on the drivers window from rolling it up and down.  Included will be a number of original parts:

The original air cleaner (do not have the carb, manifold etc)

Fan, spacer and pulley

hood support/latch, fender supports and splash shields

the horns

headlight buckets, trim and hardware and lights (not T3)

wash bottle (not the best condition)battery box and strap

gas cap and trim ring (some pitting)

front turn signals/parking lights

side marker lights (one red lens missing and some pitting)

2 original deep dish hub caps

spare tire

interior trim

heater control

interior door handles and window cranks

gas and brake pedals with custom trim

dome light

dash speedometer and instrument cluster - no clock  (unfortunately I broke one of the pins on the module.  It is but I don't know if it can be repaired).  All switches (headlights, windshield wipers etc.) are still in the car.

I even have a 1970 and 1978 Michigan license plates that I will throw in.

 

Although I do have offers locally, they would just use the Charger for parts.  Considering the matching number and documentation, I would hope that the new owner would restore it and give to it what I couldn't.

SRT reveals Satin Vapor Edition 300, Charger and Challenger SRT models

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.

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.
