1966
DODGE CORONET 500 To All: I’m testing the water (winter is coming to
northern Virginia - my garage space is in demand by the family) and listing my very nice,
driver condition 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 with modified / stroked 383 big block that
is a true Mopar torque monster, street legal and ready for local cruise-ins as
well as car shows. This classic Coronet 500 two door hardtop has the nostalgic
“muscle car” B-Body looks and lines, is well kept, clean and in good operating condition
throughout, was originally equipped from the factory with a 318-2bbl V8 and A/C
(both are now removed / gone…), A727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission
with shift kit and higher stall converter, 8-3/4” rear (now sporting 4.10 gears
with Sure Grip unit) with newer B.F. Goodrich Radial P225/70R14 tires and dog
dish wheel covers, black front bucket seats with center console, AM radio (not
hooked-up), with power steering, light package and undercoating as the only factory
options. Heater core in vehicle, but not
connected. This classic Mopar muscle car has aftermarket tach, oil pressure and
water temp gauges, with working fuel gauge, lights and approx. 3,750 miles currently
showing on the working odometer that is not original based on the motor swap by
previous owner. I would rate this vehicle (original AZ car) a very reasonable
7.5 on a scale of 10 for the condition of the exterior paint (RR1 – Light Yellow),
body, trim and glass components and a strong 8 for the interior (black vinyl),
engine bay and trunk (jack assembly, spare tire, cover board and mat included) areas.
Original Fender Tag, CertiCard, Build Sheet, owners manual, receipts and prior
owner history information come with the vehicle. I’ve only owned this classic Dodge for five months,
have driven it over 350 miles and enjoyed it every time I fire-it-up, along
with the neighbors and locals who applaud the nostalgic muscle car appeal.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It 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.
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Including all-wheel-drive models, there are ten versions of the 2015 Dodge Charger. The tenth variant - better described as the ten-tenths variant and the topmost model - is this Charger SRT Hellcat.
Superficially, you already know what it is: take the massively powerful Hellcat engine that's Frankensteined into the Dodge Challenger and stitch it into the recently facelifted Charger sedan.
Oh, but that would be superficial knowledge indeed. Russ Ruedisueli, vehicle line executive and head engineer for SRT, claims the Charger Hellcat is, "The industry's most irreverent four-door supercar." We looked up the word "irreverent" in the Oxford dictionaries, and it turns out the word doesn't mean "707 horsepower," nor "650 pound-feet of torque" nor "3.7-second 0-60 time, and seats five adults." It does mean, "Showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously."
