Up for auction is a very beautiful and legendary 1969 Dodge Charger, gold with a beige vinyl top in excellent condition inside and out. I bought it on ebay a couple of years ago for $20,000.00. When I bought it, the paint, body, vinyl top and interior were in excellent condition, but mechanically the car needed alot of work. I entrusted it with a reputable former Chrysler/Dodge mechanic who brought this legend back to life. The driver's side sun visor is signed on the opposite side by none other than John Schneider of the Dukes of Hazzard! I went to a ComicCon in Philadelphia a couple of years ago and he was there signing autographs, so I brought the visor with me. I had shown him a pic of the car on my celphone and asked him if he thought if I should have the car converted to a General Lee and he said that there were too many General Lees out there. He said that the gold color of this car was awesome, that it should be left original. I had the following items replaced in the process of having it restored mechanically:
- Replacement 318 engine
- New Brakes
- New shocks
- New Tires
- New steering wheel
- Repair of electrical wiring
- New dash clock
- CD stereo with 4 speaker system
- All lighting replaced
- New Exhaust
- Headers
- Electronic Ignition
- New Carburator
- & Much More
I had different plans with the car, but never got around to it. I am selling it because it deserves to be with someone who will take it out for rides and enjoy it. Because it is rare and valuable, I have been a bit nervous to take it out for rides. So I am likely going to buy myself a newer Mustang, a car that I won't be nervous about taking out for nice rides on the weekends. It still does need a horn, kickdown linkage and if you want A/C, you would need an A/C unit inside. Other than that, the car is beautiful inside and out.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*
Wed, 14 Aug 2013With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.
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.
