Two 1971 Dodge Chargers . One of them is a 383 4 speed Charger 500 that has a 440 in it. The other is a plain Charger that came with a low perf 383 auto but the engine and trans are long gone. The 500 has a 440 and still retains the 4 speed with a 8 3/4 . The red 500 is sort of rusty but could be fixed .
I bought the Yellow Charger because the body is in really nice shape and only has rust on the roof . Some one started to fix up the yellow car by painting the engine bay orange. This car has Power disc brakes with A/C and power steering. No engine or transmission . It is appearant that someone had converted it to a 4 speed so it has the pedals and a nasty hole in the floor for the shifter but other wise the body is very solid.
. The red 500 has had a paint job . It was born light blue, most likely it got wrecked in the early 80's, the original 383 is long gone. The origin of the 440 is unclear and has been rebuilt . It currenty has a bad starter and hasn't run for a few years. Both cars have Iowa titles .
I had plans on making one good car but my interest have changed. I just want to move them . They should go together and I hope to make a deal with some one who can handle two cars. Check 'em out and make an offer. I would split them up and I could use the 440 for another project I have if that becomes a bargining chip. I would consider trades of 69 GTX or Super Bee cars or parts. I also have other cars for sale or trade. Located in eastern Iowa along I-80.

I want to make it clear that the auction is for both Dodge Chargers, The winning bid takes both cars and I will the leave the engine in the red car.There is still no engine or trans with the yellow car .Both cars have Iowa titles.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
