I purchased car from family that purchased the car new in 1966. 

A great candidate for daily diver or restoration.  Car will need work before it can be driven.

I bought this car earlier this year in Arkansas.  It was a one family owned and unrestored.  The car is sold “as is” and is detailed with pictures and details below.

History

Car was originally bought in Virginia (see dealer tag on decklid).  That owner moved to Dallas in theMid-Seventies and drove the car until it was given to his Sister in the late-Seventies to early-Eighties.  The car was then passed on to the Son of the Sister of the original owner.  He drove the car throughout the eighties and nineties as a second car. He painted the car in its current color in the late eighties/early nineties and kept the car in running/drivable condition. He parked it sometime in the nineties and kept it garaged until he gave it to his step-son a few early ago. 

Current Condition 

Engine/Trans/Mechanicals: The car is as depicted in thepictures.  Car has over 140,000 miles on it.  Odometer stopped working according to last driver in mid-nineties just prior to the car being parked.  The car was not running when I got it, but after adjusting the points, cleaning the sparkplugs, correcting the spark plug firing order, fixing the accelerator pump in the carb, I was able toget the engine to run.  It runs fairly smooth, but I have no way to know its internal condition.  The transmission seems to be fine, and will move as necessary in forward/reverse.  I have not taken this car on the road.  Car charges and A/C system does not seem to function, but is charged and is underpressure with Freon.

Brakes:  Brakes needwork.

Tires:  Tires are over20 years old and need replacing

Exterior:  Speaking to the previous owner, the car was painted once around 20-25 years ago.  The paint job is poor.  There are a few spots where there are some rust bubbles coming through, but they are minimal based on the number or years ago this was painted.  These spots are all the traditional trouble areas with 1966 Dodge Chargers.  Additionally, it appears that the lower passenger Quarter panel had been repaired in the past and is cracking (see pic).  This is the worst exterior part of thecar.  The back window leaks, but does not appear to be rusted and the rear window trim is missing.  Also, the trunk is slightly rusted in two small areas.  I believe it would need twosmall patches to repair.   Floor pansappear to be solid.  However, I cannot guarantee what is under the paint, since there is no way to know withoutremoving the paint.  Glass is in goodshape with the exception of the Windshield (cracked).  All the exterior trim (except rear window) is intact with some minor denting.  Top passenger fender trim is heavily dented. Rotating headlights do not operate, but all parts appear to be intact (relays, limit switches and motors).

Interior: Electroluminescence works for all gauges.  Does not work for A/C, radio and shifter.  Speedometer, Tachometer and Gas Gauge do no tappear to function.   Seats, carpet and door panels are in fairly good shape. The passenger seat has a tear.

CAR HAS CLEAN TITLE AND SOLD “AS IS”

$500 deposit due within 24 hours via paypal.  Balance due within 7 days via cashier’scheck, cash or wire transfer.  Car needs to be picked up or shipping arranged within a few weeks.  I’d be happy to answer any questions or take additional pictures.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.

Chop the top of your new Dodge Viper for $35,000

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

We have good news, and we have bad news. First, the good: It's now possible to get a brand-new Dodge Viper roadster, which is nice, considering we're in the dead of summer and many of us like wind-in-the-hair motoring. Now, the bad: This is not a factory option from the automaker, instead coming courtesy of an aftermarket company called Prefix Performance, and that means it's going to cost you some serious coin.
Called Medusa, this drop-top Viper was created without the knowledge or consent of Dodge, but that's probably fine because Prefix works with the automaker already for the final preparation of the American supercar, including paint. According to the company, the current, fifth-gen Viper was built with a convertible version in mind, so no chassis strengthening is required. From the looks of the somewhat grainy photos available, the conversion appears of very high quality.
Want one? Well, that means you're going to need to procure a Viper - Prefix has 10 units ready for transformation as it stands - and that's going to cost at the very least $102,485. Then, you'll need to write a check for an additional $35,000 for Prefix to surgically remove the car's roof. Thing is, for that kind of cash, a prospective owner could buy, among other very nice options, a Viper hardtop and a loaded Miata, or a Corvette Stingray convertible and several pockets full of change. Or, perhaps a new Viper hardtop and a used, first-gen Viper convertible?

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.
