 This auction, with low reserve, is for a very rare 1962 Dodge Dart 440 Convertible. I have had this car for about 25 years with the plan to restore it, but never got around to it. The auction will include many spare parts including: Left and Right rear quarter panels, Left and Right front fenders, Left and right inner fenders, Tail Light bezels, gauge and speedometer assembly, a 318 engine, and more. The sheet metal parts and engine were purchased in Florida and are solid except for a little rust along bottom edge. The doors, windows, hood, and trunk lid on the Dart all seem to be solid. The floor in this Dart (particularly rear seat) needs to be replaced. Also, about 20 years ago a wheel and axel shop did some welding , I believe on the torsion bar system, and now the drivers door pinches and does not open. This can be fixed by undoing the welding or by adjustment on the fenders when or if they are replaced. The Dart needs the brake cylinders and probably the master cylinder rebuilt. This car hasn't been driven in three years, since the brakes went out. It has been stored inside since I've had it. The fuel pump and starter were replaced three years ago. The gas float and filter assembly in the fuel tank were replaced 4 years ago. The seat covers need some work. The convertible top is dirty but is solid and the hydraulic pump works. The top does need new window seals though. The car also needs a set of tires.

All in all this is an excellent project car and a rare one too. I hate to part with it, but we are moving and have to downsize-meaning I have to get rid of some toys. This is the second 1962 Dodge Dart Convertible that I have owned. The first was in the late 60's until I went in the Army. When I saw this one in the late 80's, I had to have it. I haven't seen another "62 Dart Convertible since, including in car shows.

I am selling this car and all extra parts, as is, with what I believe to be a low reserve. Buyer to pay and arrange all shipping costs. I have included many pictures of the car and extra parts. If you have any questions, please email or call me at 920-276-2012 or 262-490-5398. Thanks for looking and Good Luck with your bid!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

2003-04 Dodge Viper recalled for sudden airbag deployment

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

As if driving the old Dodge Viper (not the fancy new SRT model) isn't intimidating enough, imagine trying to wrangle that V10 beast and then suddenly having the airbags deploy. Yikes. That's apparently what could happen to some 3,660 Viper models from the 2003 and 2004 model years, and as such, Chrysler has issued a recall.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the car's airbag control module may fail, causing the bags or seatbelt pre-tensioners to deploy without warning while the vehicle is in operation. That's a dangerous scenario in any car, let alone one offering insane horsepower a near-total paucity of safety nannies should things get squirrely.
Owners will be notified this month about the recall, though a remedy is not expected to be available until later this year. Scroll down for the full NHTSA statement.

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.
