1976 was the final production year for this classic American car, and it also was the lowest production year for generation 4 Darts (only 8,937 Dodge Dart Swingers were produced in '76) in North America. While this particular car has its imperfections, it is very solid and fun to drive. We simply do not have room for 4 cars, so it's time has come for our family to part with it.

Why bid on a Dart without getting the full story? I want you to know what to expect 100% with this Mopar classic.

This car runs good and is a reliable starter. It was bought for my wife to use as a daily driver for her work commute, and from the driver side it looks great! :)

Ok, it has some body damage on the passenger side from an accident that happened before we bought the car. The exterior is has signs of wear and I'm assuming it's the original paint job. There are little dings, scratches and other signs of use over the life of the car. The chrome is in ok shape, with very little pitting. The vinyl top is in excellent condition and was replaced by the previous owner, it really looks sharp. The aluminum trim is all there, is also in good shape, and there isn't any rusting where it meets the sheet metal. There are no exterior signs of rust. The rubber trim that runs along the side of the body has been removed, and it shows in the finish. Besides the aging paint and accident damage, the car actually looks really good.

Mechanically, the car is sound and drives smooth like a 318 with a torqueflite should. The engine and transmission are stock. All 4 tires are practically new. To be expected, there is play in the steering and a leak in the power steering should be noted. The battery is new. Alternator is recent. Brakes about 15,000 miles ago. Recent catalytic converters. The dual exhaust sounds good, not loud. Replaced rear shocks. Cooling system in good shape. Original a/c is present, disconnected and working condition is unknown. Car has original jack and a spare in the trunk. The speedometer or cable either needs attention, as it gets a little squeaky and goofy in the 65mph range. Turn signals, lights, horns and wipers work, but washer fluid pump does not. The doors and locks are all solid. The glass is in good shape all around. Weatherstripping is mostly all there and varies from good, to delicate to missing in one spot. All the windows except the rear passenger side function properly, it slips and needs help when rolling up. The car is equipped with a secret kill switch/relay to the battery. It just passed CA smog.

The interior is in decent shape and it feels good to sit inside. The seats are in beautiful condition and have a couple of very small, easy to repair punctures. The vinyl on the dash has no cracks, is in good shape, as are the door panels, which are very clean. The carpet was replaced by the previous owner, but could do with a cleaning in the front. It would look good with a little shampoo. There's a radio with cassette player that is as good as not having one. The driver's seatbelt needs repair/replacement. A couple knobs inside need replacement. The headliner has cracks and chips. There is some corrosion in the trunk, under the rubber matt on the pan. The rest of the trunk looks great.

This listing is for car with a salvage title that we bought in 2008. I wish I could tell you why the car was given a salvage title, but best guess is a passenger side collision. It seems probable the cost of the body damage repair was estimated at more than the cost of the vehicle, so it was considered totaled. **However, I do not know for sure.** I do know it has never given any reason to think otherwise. The frame is straight and the damage, from what I can tell is purely cosmetic.

Buyer pays shipping. I will happily help load or help coordinate with shipping if necessary. Cashier's check, cash, or Paypal accepted. $500 deposit required within 48 hours of auction closing. Full payment due within 7 days of auction closing. Vehicle AS-IS, no warrantee.

This auto has been recently detailed, presently stored in a garage and ready to cruise!

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

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.
