This auction is for my 1970 Charger 500 SE - 1 of 2887 built and 1 of 963 painter Cream - Y3.  I purchased it in 1999, fully intending to restore it,  I had barely gotten started when I started having some health problems. Unfortunately, those4 problems also caused financial issues.  As much as I hated doing it, I started parting it out just to get by.  I am selling now that the buyer will restore it.  If not, there are still many usable parts or parts for resale. 

What makes this Charger, although not complete is that it is basically a matching numbers car.  I was able to find serial numbers on the dashboard VIN plate, the fender plate, the door jam sticker, the radiator support, the trunk stamp under the weather stripping, and also on the engine.  What is not original are a 4 barrel, air cleaner, manifold and heads.  He had also pit a set of Crager mags on the front, so there are only original hubcaps and they are included.  The hubcaps  I put on I believe are 1638.  The drivers side fender must have been dined as it paint does not match.  In addition to the matching numbers, I also have and almost complete window sticker, 2 build sheets, the drivers manual and the original warranty card.  I bought the car from the second owner, but he new the original purchaser.  The car had not been started for quite a while before I bought it and I have not started it either.  The car does have some issues.  I parted out basically most of the interior, the front bumper, grill and valance, the radiator, the rear bumper, tail lights and finish panel.  Having been parked outside, there is some rust.  The rear frame rails, the torsion bar cross member, the front floor pans, the trunk panels, the lower rear quarter panels and the rear valance will need to be replaced or repaired. The fenders are OK with the exception of the usual spot behind the Penstar emblem, just a bit on the lower edge of the doors and rocker panels. underside of the hood and the lip of the trunk and under the vinyl top,  This is about average for a northern car. The wiring harness will need to be repaired as the previous owner had added two speakers under the dash and a trailer hitch.

 

The car has straight sides and does include all the chrome (very minor swirling) and minor pitting on the quarter windows and mirror.  In addition, the glass is very good with only minor scratching on the back window and on the drivers window from rolling it up and down.  Included will be a number of original parts:

The original air cleaner (do not have the carb, manifold etc)

Fan, spacer and pulley

hood support/latch, fender supports and splash shields

the horns

headlight buckets, trim and hardware and lights (not T3)

wash bottle (not the best condition)battery box and strap

gas cap and trim ring (some pitting)

front turn signals/parking lights

side marker lights (one red lens missing and some pitting)

2 original deep dish hub caps

spare tire

interior trim

heater control

interior door handles and window cranks

gas and brake pedals with custom trim

dome light

dash speedometer and instrument cluster - no clock  (unfortunately I broke one of the pins on the module.  It is but I don't know if it can be repaired).  All switches (headlights, windshield wipers etc.) are still in the car.

I even have a 1970 and 1978 Michigan license plates that I will throw in.

 

Although I do have offers locally, they would just use the Charger for parts.  Considering the matching number and documentation, I would hope that the new owner would restore it and give to it what I couldn't.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.
