I've helped a lot of people sell a lot of vehicles on eBay over the last 14 years but while photographing this car I was transported back to a time and place I hadn't experienced in several decades!  To listen to this beautiful old 383 / 4 barrel idle is to be transported back to the glory days of muscle cars! I lived it once and now I have the opportunity to re-live a portion of it!  Wow!!!


 While living out west a few years ago, my friend Rocky bought this all-original, unmolested, rust-free, 383-powered '68 Charger in St. George, Utah.  Since then, he's rebuilt the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, steering, cooling system, re-done the entire interior including carpet, seats, headliner, guages, etc., etc., etc.!  The body was prepped and re-painted in '68 Charger silver (more about that in the next paragraph) , and a new black vinyl top was installed to cap it all off.  Even the original analog clock works!  And, best of all, there's only 523 miles on the odometer since the car was rebuilt!  The engine fires up as soon as the key is turned, and settles into a smooth, steady, rolling V-8 rumble.  Add a little pressure to the gas pedal and you'll get a full-blown reminder of what the term "muscle car" really means!

There are three issues that keep the car from being a full-blown show car:  1.  Driver's outside door handle doesn't open the door...you must reach inside and use the inside door handle.  2.  The factory Air Conditioning is NOT WORKING.  All the parts and pieces are there but it is now blowing cold. 3. The paint job is not show quality.  Obviously, with the rest of the car being virtually new, nothing short of perfection would be the ideal paint job on this car.  While the paint is very presentable (we'd call it a good 10-footer), it is not perfect, and, in the interest of full disclosure would recommend you inspect it or have it inspected to be sure it will serve your purposes.

If you want to fly in and drive the car home, we will pick you up at the Fargo, ND airport (FAR).  If you wish to have it shipped, we will bend over backward to accommodate your shipper...we want this to be an awesome car-buying experience for you!

We want you to be completely comfortable and confident when bidding on this car.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call me (Jon at 701-840-8038)  between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. Central Daylight Time.  Check my feedback and bid with confidence....no disappointments here!

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto 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.

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
