1978 Dodge Magnum XE
Offered for sale is this rare, highly optioned 1978 Dodge Magnum XE 2D Coupe. ALL original mid-size car in excellent condition. A near perfect, 100% complete, no rust at all, documented survivor (I am the third owner). Copies of some of the original documentation (Bill of Sale, window sticker and consumer advertisement) will be included. ONLY 36,650 original miles!!! The exterior paint (charcoal gray - sunfire metallic) is in excellent original condition (no repaint). A quick detail/buffing will make the car look brand new. The landau T- Bar vinyl roof (silver) is in excellent condition as well. The factory tinted glass and windshield are also in great condition, as are the T-tops. There is some very minor damage on the front of the car (driver side), where the bottom of the head light surround is cracked and the top of the bumper has a slight 2" bend. The chrome trim and bumpers are in great condition. The original wheels and hubcaps (aluminum fascia) are in great condition. The 360 V8 engine, 2 barell carburator and automatic torque flite transmission are all original and run as they should with no issues at all. The car is a pleasure to drive. The interior is light gray leather with recliner bucket seats, shag carpet (that's how it actually reads on the window sticker!) in gray. Everything inside, the door panels, console, dash, etc. is in excellent condition, except for a couple of cracks on the steering wheel. There is a blue cloth cover on the dash, but it's just to protect the dash. There are too many options to list. This car had just about everything on it from the factory. Of course it has AC. Hopefully you can read the window sticker I am posting if it's not too small.
It is very hard, if not impossible to find a '78 or '79 Magnum in this condition. You know what's available out there. I am only selling due to a dire storage situation. The car is attractively priced and has a reasonable reserve (I am not willing to give it away though!). It is well worth the investment and will be a very nice, smart addition to any car collection.
NOTE: I also have a spare 1978 Magnum GT which is complete. It could use an easy, inexpensive restoration. It is a little too nice still to be used solely as a parts car, but could be if that's what one wanted. I would sell the GT for $1750 (on a Bill of Sale only) to the Buyer of the XE. It is always a good idea to have extra parts or a spare car when you own one of these rare classics as they only made them for two years. The buyer might also get a better price on the transport if they pick up two cars at the same time; just thinking aloud. Attention: This car (GT) might be sold before the XE auction ends.
I also have some other spare parts (nothing NOS) available at a reasonable cost (A whole set of exterior trim, two tailight housings/lenses, two backup clear lenses, some interior panels, etc.). If the winning bidder on the XE is at or close to what I am expecting for the XE AND also buys the GT for the price indicated above, I might provide all these extra parts at no extra cost! (spent more than $ 1000 on them, just for extras).
A deposit of $520 is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal. The remaining balance is due within 48 hours via Bank Wire. The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. Car(s) sold as is. All sales are final - no refunds, returns or exchanges.
Please feel free to email with any questions.
Thank you for looking!

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Watchers of the auto industry will notice a theme among the formerly bankrupted American automakers, General Motors and Chrysler. There are the post-bankruptcy vehicles, and the pre-bankruptcy vehicles. The former, in the case of Chrysler, include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as the 200 and 300. For GM, there's the Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Impala and Buick Encore, among others. These vehicles have the freshest styling, with sharp exteriors and well-crafted interiors, as well as advanced powertrains and well-sorted chassis.
As for the pre-bankruptcy vehicles, they tend to be easy to spot. Most suffer from inferior driving dynamics, cheaper interiors, poorer fuel economy and often homely looks (we know, there were some decent cars before the bankruptcy, but they were pretty heavily outweighed by the bad ones). Think late, last-generation Chevrolet Impala or Chrysler 200. Increasingly, though, we're seeing vehicles that split the balance between pre- and post-bankruptcy. Vehicles like the Dodge Journey.
The Journey debuted in 2007 as a 2008 model year vehicle, meaning it should fall into the latter category. But heavily breathed upon in 2011, it now enjoys a new, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a big, critically acclaimed touchscreen display and in the case of today's tester, a new-for-2014 Crossroad spec.
Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power
Tue, 21 May 2013A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.
