1978 Dodge Magnum GT Coupe
Offered for sale, this very rare 1978 Dodge Magnum GT. A true GT, even though the side emblems show XE (they all started as XE's). The original fender flares, aluminum dash and other features were only found and installed on the GT model. This magnum looks a bit tired and frumpy, but overall is in fair/good shape. It is straight, solid and with no apparent body damage. The paint is tired and does not shine anymore, and is faded and deteriorated somewhat on the hood and trunk as well as the flares (the previous owner had the car in Texas). There are some rust issues - mostly surface discoloration - but there are a couple of small holes on the floor pans (behind the driver seat). The worst is on the underneath of the trunk lid near the edge at the bottom (doesn't look too nice). The t-tops are in great shape, so is the glass and the windshield. The bumpers are straight and shinny and are in good shape. All the trim, stainless and aluminum, etc. is in very good shape and is straight and does not show any damage. the rear lenses are in very nice condition and the front lenses are fair/good condition, they should/could be buffed up. The wheels are fair, but show some rust here and there (two of the original wheels are in the trunk along with the bumpers guards). The tires are so-so (show some slight dry rot and/or wear). The interior is in fair to good condition. The dash and instrument panel, steering wheel, etc. are in nice condition (there are a few small cracks on the dash pad). The door panels, hard vinyl panels, etc. are in fair to nice condition, and are all there. The seats are in fair to good shape except for the driver seat, which should either be repaired and/or reupholstered. A set of seat covers might be good enough. The carpet will need to be replaced (it was removed by the previous owner). The 360 V8 engine starts, runs and sounds as it should. The car does drive ok on short distance drives or while moving it around (I have not driven it for any distance or on the highway). The brakes feel rather soft. I would highly recommend that the car be shipped or trailered to its new destination. Overall this is a car well worth restoring, way too nice and complete to be used only as a parts car. The car is attractively priced with a low/reasonable reserve.
These B Body Magnums are truly a collector car since they were only manufactured for two years (1978 and 1979). I had purchased this GT because of its rarity and also as a spare for my other 1978 Dodge Magnum 2Dr Coupe XE which is in remarkable and excellent original condition with only 36,500 miles. This Magnum XE is also for sale as well as many extra parts (exterior trimwork, extra tail lights, interior hard vinyl panels and trim, etc., etc.) that I had aquired to have as replacement parts on hand for these rare cars. The Magnum XE and the extra parts are not a part of this aucton, but are available for purchase upon inquiry.
Please note this car will be sold on a Bill of Sale only. A $520 deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal with the remainder of the balance due via Bank Wire or cash in person upon pick up. The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. Car is sold as-is and sale is final. Thanks for looking!

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Fri, 08 Feb 2013For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
