1970 Dodge Dart Swinger Originally 340 4 Speed H-code Car Classic Mopar on 2040-cars
Taunton, Massachusetts, United States
|
Up for sale is this 1970 "low millage" H-Code Dodge Dart . It originally came with a 340 4 speed but a 360 727 automatic was just installed the spring of 2013 . It still retains the original 4 speed pedal's , hump , and column so if someone wanted to go back to a four speed it could be very easily done . It even still has the original reverse indicator light on the dash that came factory on the 4 speed cars . It also still has the original 8 3/4 rear with 3:55 gear ratio , 4 piston disc brakes , rally wheels , rally dash , etc. . I "do not" have the original 340 motor or four speed trans , I never did . I have owned this car since the late 80's early 90's and it was put in storage in 2001 . After a lot of work was done last year It was then registered last Aug ( 2013 ) and driven and enjoyed until Oct when it was put away again for the winter . It was brought back out again this past spring and is currently registered and being enjoyed again . This car runs and drives great ! It gets "LOTS" of attention and compliments where ever it go's . I don't even have to pull it out of my garage for people to stop and want to look at it . The 360 has a "mild" roller cam that idles nice and is pretty darn quick but it is not a race car the way it is , It's perfect to take to car shows and cruise nights . But if you did want a race car then all you would have to do is put a bigger cam in it because everything else is there . There is way to much put into this car last year alone to list , so here is just some of what's been done, new Viper Blue paint , 360 roller cam motor with eddy intake and 4 bbl. carb , Headers , fresh 727 transmission , Gas Tank and sending unit , New rug , sound system , etc. , etc , etc . This car is extremely NICE now but there a just a couple of small and inexpensive things to get it to the next level such as the headliner is showing it's age and inside the trunk still has the original B5 blue paint that you could spray with trunk coating to make it look nicer . It has a race style lightweight glass six pack hood on it now that we put on in the early 90's but I also still have the original steel duel scoop hood from this car but it was not painted with the car and is not included in the price . But could be available to go with the car for an added cost . I'm not sure what else I can say about this car so if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask . I have described this car to the best of my ability and this car is being sold "as is" with no warranty and the buyer is responsible for all shipping cost and arrangements . Buyer has seven days from end of auction to have car picked up . Deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of auction ending and full payment is required within three days of auction ending .

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
2013 Dodge Durango R/T
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
