Up for auction is a 1952 Dodge Coronet 4 door sedan. The car was last titled in 1985 with 22,000 miles on it. It now has about 30,000. The car has the Flathead 230ci engine with the Gyromatic transmission, or Tip Toe shift (Desoto). The transmission works great. The car drives smooth, but will not go over 35mph then it starts to backfire. No. 4 intake valve is sticking. Brakes are hard, and the master cylinder leaks occasionally, mainly when the car sets a while. Exhaust is amateur, NAPA glass pack, clamps, sounds cool, okay for daily driver.
This car in in great condition for the age. IMO the condition of the body, and the interior are just amazing for a car this old, from Illinois! Some of the parts appear to be brand new. I have to sell it because my daughter is getting braces, and the cash would be nice, but not nice enough to be low balled...Car for sale locally, reserve the right to end auction at any time. Cash only sale! Your bill of sale will be the title....plates come with the car. They came off ebay.
The Great....
-excellent interior, nothing damaged or missing (besides front carpet).
-clock works, but is slow (correct twice a day)
-all original, you can still see the OEM stickers on some parts of the engine
-Decent set of used radials on the vehicle
-new fuel pump, oil pan was dropped and cleaned, newer battery, fuel tank cleaned and lined, carb rebuilt
-ROCK SOLID BODY! This car sat a log time in a barn (still has hay under bumper), developed a nice patina. Must have been a lot of cats around...
-clear Illinois title
The Not So Great...
-front fenders have typical sheet metal rust around headlights
-small amount of rust around rear fender/trunk area, passenger rear fender replaced (OEM) due to accident.
-dent on trunk hump
-No.4 cylinder has low compression 30. All the rest are okay.
-radiator weeps in some spots when it sets a while. I have never seen it leak when up to temperature.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
