|
Up for Auction a 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 Magnum R/T With 727 transmission 22,800.00 Original miles. My friend and I went to look at this car approx 35 years ago with the idea that I was going to buy it, well it did'nt turn out that way, my friend Dennis wanted it so bad he begged me to let him buy it as he had a 1968 Dodge Charger that got totaled by a tree falling on it. so I let him have it. big mistake as Dinnes put the car in storage and never did anything with it. in the mean time he got sick and was unable to do anything with it. I keep trying to get him to sell it back to me but he just did not want to sell. anyway Dennis past on. His wife knew the whole story and sold me the car. It had approx 17,000 miles on it when Dennis got it and was in excellent condition, when I got the car it had 18, 443 miles and after sitting in storage 30 or so years it was in poor condition with dents, scratches, rust on lower right quarter panel and the hood and top were damaged due to storing junk on it. the right front fender had damage, no magor damage but enough to make you sick to your stomach. I was very dissapointed in the looks of the car, i was expecting to see the car like it was. He had taken the vinyl top part the way off and some of the trim. had some rust just below the rear window where the vinyl ended. Had to replace too small patch panals it was more surface rust, but replaced them anyway. I decited not to put the vinyl top back on but still have all the trim. after sitting for so long and not being started I was a little concerned. after cleaning the fuel tank and fuel lines I thought now or never, I removed the ignition wires and the engine turned over everything sounded normal hooked everything up and was very surprised that it started and ran pretty good, I felt like jumping up and down and I did, things were looking up. Curtis and I did all the body work, spent lots of time making sure it was straight. has all the original brakes, they look new and work like new. The interior has been replaced all new, and I kept the old interior with carpet and headliner, the old interior was ok just dirty looking. I put about 4,000 miles on it. it's a great driver and looks that will turn heads. has electronic ignition, new carburator and water pump. I have all the original parts wheels also. I have the build sheet. There were approx 2,100 built a 1 year only body style. You really got to see and drive this car to appreciate it. Dallas Richards was the original owner and still lives in Junction City, he would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Dallas purchased this car when he returned from Vietnam 1969 he said he got it for his wife she wanted something fast. the car is not perfect by any means.

2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.
2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.
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.
