I have forsale a 1971 dodge Dart. 340 cubic inch motor, New 727 automatic transmission, new interior, headliner ect. I bought this car about 9 years ago and its been great to work on and play with. I have taken it to numerous car shows and Good Guys car show every year since finished.
Under the hood is a 1971 dodge 340 with a mild purple molley cam, and lifters. Edelbrock carb, breather, valve covers. Steel water lines, new gas tank and a holley fuel pump. The transmission is a new 727 automatic with about 5000 miles on it. New tires and rims and brakes. Brakes are still manual. Paint is about 8 years old and looks great from about 15 feet. Could use new paint it you wanted to make it a show car. The gauge cluster needs to be rebuilt as the gas gauge, temp and oil pressure are inop. I do have aftermarket gauges installed that do work. Original radio but not hooked up. Has an aftermarket cd player.
I have a couple other cars and I really dont have to sell this one. I would like to sell this to buy a Harley. I have done the car shows for several years and would like to switch it up and go to Sturgis. Would be up for trades for the right Harley of equal value. NO Sportsters.
I am asking $12000.00 or best offer, I have about $21,000.00 invested. I recently advertised this on craigslist and was contacted by Autotrader who wanted to to advertise with them and advised that I was actually $2000,00 under what the car is worth. So I dont see any reason why the price should be an issue.
If you have the winning bid then I expext to be paid. There will be a $500.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours if you do win the auction. I would just assume to be paid in cash and in person. If a check is to be used, the car and title will stay with me until the check clears. If you plan on having it shipped I will assist in what ever way I can. I do have this car listed privately and reserve the right to end the auction at any time if it sells locally.
Please bid with confidence as this is a pretty nice machine.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
