This auction is for a 1969 Dodge Charger project car. My son has owned this for approx 7 years and always planned on fixing it up but other projects got in the way. He is currently doing up a 1971 Dodge Charger R/T clone so reluctently he is going to sell the 1969 to help fund his other project. To begin with the Charger needs a complete restoration. It is a complete rolling shell and chassis. No motor or trans. The car originaly was a 318 V-8, Automatic Trans, Power Steering with Drum Brakes. Brakes are down from sitting. When we purchased the car someone had started doing some body repairs. Full quarters were installed, a trunk pan with extensions, 2 front floor pans, lower back valance panel and lower inner wheel tubs. The quarters still have a weld line on the outside top edge which will need to be ground down and finish work done. The car had been sanded down in various places, primer here and there. So we sanded down the complete body and primed it where needed in order to protect it from the elements. Of course when you get it you will want to do it your way. The passenger door was replaced with a nice rust free door but does have a light scratch in the middle (very fixable). We replaced the front fenders with a good pair to work with. Passenger one has minor rust spot on bottom, drivers one has rust spot on bottom and a few blisters on top side. We bolted the parts on but didnt take the time to line them up perfect as we know the car is going to come apart again. There are some light dings and dents from being in storage but are easy fixes. Small rust hole on passenger rocker panel. Trunk lid has some issues on the outer edge. Just trying to point out some of the areas that need attention. The floors in the car are very solid. If you look at the pics there is a small rust spot right where the wire harness slips into very easy fix. All the glass is in the car. Front windshield is cracked. Rear windshield looks to have been replaced with acrylic. The rear torsion bar cross member is rusted and weak giving the drivers side a lean. We do have a wood block between the front frame rail and "A" arm to give support for now. We purchased a nice solid original crossmember from another Charger that we will include with the sale. Also there are 2 small two inch size holes in the rear frame rails just as they curve down. Water must have set in place. The rails are solid other than that. I would fix rather than replace but its your call. As far as the inside of the car is concerned the dash is intact. Pad is in good shape. No radio. Headliner is still in place but has some holes. The visors and surrounding trim is in place. I have no interior with the exception of a back seat bottom cushion and a passenger side bucket seat back which will be included. I also have upper seat belts, the other vaccum canister for headlights, 2 front kick panels, 2 front windshield side stainless, both door gaskets, fuel tank filler tube, transmission crossmember, wiring harness (condition unknown), both front fender metal splash aprons, the spare tire hook cut of the old trunk pan and power steering pump. We do have a 1969 Dodge Charger parts car that was hit hard in the rear. We cut up a 1970 Charger and was going to use parts from that to fix the 1969. This vehicle will be availble at an extra cost if the winning bidder chooses to purchase. If not then we will sell it seperate as it still has a lot of good usable parts. Im sure I have left something out so feel free to give me a call as it would be easier to discuss the car by phone.A definate worth while project. We have a clear title ,fender tag and proper dealer paper work for the car. If you have under 20 feedback please give us a call before you place a bid so that we know your serious. Sorry we have to do it this way but have been burned to many times. We take our auctions seriously and want you to do the same. If you are the winning bidder we expect a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours after the sale and then full payment in 3 days. If you can not follow through with what we ask please dont bid. These auctions take time and cost money. If you need more info or pics feel free to call or email 207-324-5568 days or 207-432-2862 eves and sundays

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.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
