1969 Dodge Charger R/t on 2040-cars
Forestville, New York, United States
|
Decided to sell the misses 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. 440 (#'s matching) survivor. Stripe delete Air-conditioned power window car that has lived it's life in CA since 1970. She is the 3rd owner. (she bought it in '12, and brought it to NY ) Incredibly solid car and right now is a great driver quality muscle car. As far as I can tell, the heads haven't even been off this motor. Runs great and easily cruises down the interstate at 70! All new front end bushings, shocks all the way around, and all braking components have been replaced. Car stops great with the 4 wheel HD drum brakes due to the fact that the car came equipped with a factory "trailoring" package. Some bubbling on the lower passenger rear quarter, and some rust at the driver's side cowl at the windshield (pics) and that's it for corrosion. Car was shot with undercoating sometime during it's life and is even sprayed on the underside of the hood. Looks kinda "choochy" but the metal has been preserved perfectly! It does have it's dings and scratches but hey, it's 45 years old and is driven. Original sheet metal but you can see that there has been some dent removal on the passenger side rear quarter. For reasons unknown, the previous(or the original) owner, filled the gap between the passenger rear quarter and the trunk spring support with spray foam(pic). (WT....!) Apparently, we were told, that it was the original owner who that "brush" painted the scratches and paint imperfections on the car and he did some poor work. But, on the plus side, the paint matched perfectly and protected the metal. Bumpers, wheels, shocks, brakes, and suspension bushings were replaced by the previous owner. Radiator and the air conditioning compressor are not original. Seats were recovered at one point too with cloth (I'd guess in the '80's) but tastefully done. Guess they didn't want to sit on black vinyl in the California sun. Front carpet needs to be replaced. I also have the original radio that comes with. Tires are practically new Goodyear Eagles. You can drive this Charger to any and all car shows! Or restore it to original if you'd like. I hate to see her sell it but she wants new. Ugh! I've included a bunch of pictures and I'll get pics of the undercarriage up here as soon as the lift becomes available. I'll also get a pic of the engine stamp plate to verify the numbers for you. I think the car is being listed with a very reasonable reserve. If you don't plan on buying and paying for the car, DO NOT BID. CAR IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME, DUE TO SALE. All are invited and encouraged to come inspect before bidding. Thanks for your interest and consideration. I will answer any and all questions as quickly as I can. Car and registration will not be released until all funds are cleared by my bank. Cash is nice :) $500 non-refundable deposit due within 2 days of auctions end. Buyer responsible for all transport costs.

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.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
