This is my 1969 convertible dodge coronet.I have had it for a couple years now and have not been able to restore it like I planned.It has only been driven 2301 miles in the last 32 years.I have a copy of the title from 1981 that shows it had 68000 miles on it.The title I have in my name shows exempt because the lady said it was too old to be accurate.I was told the 318 motor was the original when I purchased it but it is not.The motor is from a 1972.The motor runs good and the transmission shifts fine.The exhaust is shot and will need replaced.It has an 8 3/4 rear end with 3.23 gears.The convertible top back window will need replaced.The car has new wheels,tires and center caps.The back wheels are 15X8's and the fronts are 15X7's.The car had drums on the front when I got it and I have since put disc brakes from a 1970 charger on it.The last time I drove the car it has a leak in the brake line and air is getting in.So the brake light comes on.I installed new calipers,rubber brake hoses,new upper and lower ball joints,and master cylinder.The car has a power top and it works like it should.The top latch on the passenger side is broken.Drivers side is o.k..All glass is good.All gauges work.Radio is not hooked up.It has an aftermarket 8 track hooked up.I don t think it works but have not messed with it much.All the lights work.The car is licensed and insured but have not had time to drive it much.Need to fix the brake line that is getting air into the system and the exhaust before it can be road worthy.The car is a project car that will need total restoration.It does have some bondo in it here and there.The front frame where the torsion bars mount on the passenger side has a hole in it next to the rocker panel.The back frame rails look o.k.The car has undercoating from the factory and I am sure once you pull up the carpet there will be some holes to repair but no major holes.The trunk pan will need replaced or repaired.The car has alot of r/t items like hood scoops with chrome bezels,quarter panel scoops with chrome bezels and coronet r/t door plates.The car needs alot of work but is a rare car and will be worth it when done.I still owe $10,000.00 to the bank on it and it will need to be paid off before it can be transferred to another.

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.
2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.
Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
