Up for sale is a 1969 Dodge coronet 500 convertible. Numbers matching drivetrain with a high percentage of original parts and Trim. While it doesn't look like a 145,000 + mile car, I have to assume that the 5 digit odometer has turned over. Despite it's age it is in good shape. I have driven this all the way out to Albany New York in this to my home near Cape Cod, and feel confident getting in and driving. As always with any used car there are high points and low points and I will try to address those separately. I have had this car for just shy of 2 years and it hasn't given me any issues. I had the typical dream to turn this into a 440 powered beast, but my family and I have started to really enjoy using our RV, which is another expensive hobby, so something has to give. I will describe this car to the best of my ability but feel free to ask any questions. I reserve the right to end this auction early if I choose to do so.I am listing this car for a good bit less than when I bought it, as in this economy these classics aren't getting what they used to a few years ago. That said, it is still a rare B Body convertible which is a desirable product for MOPAR fans, and I will NOT consider any further price drop


The Good:
Original Drivetrain, with what appear to be the original key engine parts and accessories.
All new fluids: Oil,Transmission,Brake Fluid,Coolant,rear differential fluid, New thermostat and Upper radiator hose. Also Brand new Battery and Plugs within the last year.
Tires we newly added when I bought the car and have good tread life and are in good condition.
Current Massachusetts inspection sticker (Mass has one of the tougher Inspection programs in the USA)
Convertible top seems to be a fairly recent replacement and is in good shape, although the 2 top locks seem to be the originals.Top goes up and down quickly and smoothly without noises or issues.
Aside from a rip in the driver's seat and a worn down carpet the interior is in good shape. I think you could fix the seat and carpet and have a great looking interior. Center console is beautiful
Brakes appear to be in good shape too. stops well
Engine runs clean and starts right up and transmission shifts smoothly. No groans or noises from rear differential.
Doors close easily and I see no signs of stress cracks in body or frame. Glass is also in good shape and the bumpers look like new.
Framework has had some welded repair sections which I tried to capture in pics. Professional repairs which hold up well. Ran this car by Auto Rust Technicians in Rhode Island after I brought it home and they thought the car was pretty sweet.

The not so good:
May not show in the pictures, but the front passenger fender was creased by the prior owner. It has been pushed out but is not 100% perfect
Car will someday need right rear 1/4 patch panel and left rear 1/4 skin
I think it may need a partial trunk panel if you really wanted to re do it to showroom fresh. 
Frame work could benefit from a grinding and a coating of POR 15, but the car is strong and in good shape.

I have worked to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability but it is almost 45 years old and is sold as is with no warranty either written or implied. Buyer is responsible for all taxes and shipping. 500.00 non refundable deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close, and Low/no feedback bidders Must contact me prior to bidding, or you bid will be rejected. I work weekends but will do my best to accommodate anyone who wishes to see the car in person, or have a representative stop by in their place. Valid and clear mass title in my name.I will work with US and international buyers. Please note that funds must be paid in full via cash,bank transfer or paypal before car and title are released Thanks!

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.

Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.

2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.
