1978 Dodge Magnum XE

Offered for sale is this rare, highly optioned 1978 Dodge Magnum XE 2D Coupe.  ALL original mid-size car in excellent condition. A near perfect, 100% complete, no rust at all, documented survivor (I am the third owner).  Copies of some of the original documentation (Bill of Sale, window sticker and consumer advertisement) will be included.  ONLY 36,650 original miles!!!  The exterior paint (charcoal gray - sunfire metallic) is in excellent original condition (no repaint).  A quick detail/buffing will make the car look brand new.  The landau T- Bar vinyl roof (silver) is in excellent condition as well.  The factory tinted glass and windshield are also in great condition, as are the T-tops.  There is some very minor damage on the front of the car (driver side), where the bottom of the head light surround is cracked and the top of the bumper has a slight 2" bend.  The chrome trim and bumpers are in great condition.  The original wheels and hubcaps (aluminum fascia) are in great condition.  The 360 V8 engine, 2 barell carburator and automatic torque flite transmission are all original and run as they should with no issues at all.  The car is a pleasure to drive.  The interior is light gray leather with recliner bucket seats, shag carpet (that's how it actually reads on the window sticker!) in gray.  Everything inside, the door panels, console, dash, etc. is in excellent condition, except for a couple of cracks on the steering wheel.  There is a blue cloth cover on the dash, but it's just to protect the dash.  There are too many options to list.  This car had just about everything on it from the factory.  Of course it has AC.  Hopefully you can read the window sticker I am posting if it's not too small. 

It is very hard, if not impossible to find a '78 or '79 Magnum in this condition.  You know what's available out there.  I am only selling due to a dire storage situation. The car is attractively priced and has a reasonable reserve (I am not willing to give it away though!).  It is well worth the investment and will be a very nice, smart addition to any car collection. 

NOTE: I also have a spare 1978 Magnum GT which is complete.  It could use an easy, inexpensive restoration.  It is a little too nice still to be used solely as a parts car, but could be if that's what one wanted.  I would sell the GT for $1750 (on a Bill of Sale only) to the Buyer of the XE.  It is always a good idea to have extra parts or a spare car when you own one of these rare classics as they only made them for two years.  The buyer might also get a better price on the transport if they pick up two cars at the same time; just thinking aloud.  Attention:  This car (GT) might be sold before the XE auction ends.

I also have some other spare parts (nothing NOS) available at a reasonable cost (A whole set of exterior trim, two tailight housings/lenses, two backup clear lenses, some interior panels, etc.).  If the winning bidder on the XE is at or close to what I am expecting for the XE AND also buys the GT for the price indicated above, I might provide all these extra parts at no extra cost! (spent more than $ 1000 on them, just for extras).   

A deposit of $520 is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal.  The remaining balance is due within 48 hours via Bank Wire.  The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location.  Car(s) sold as is.  All sales are final - no refunds, returns or exchanges.

Please feel free to email with any questions.

Thank you for looking!

2013 Dart GT will hold us over until SRT stokes Dodge's handsome compact

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

No, this isn't quite the Dart SRT4 we've been waiting for - and still believe is coming - but as part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show lineup, Dodge will be showing off the slightly sportier Dart GT seen here.
Building on the already well-equipped Limited model, the GT adds performance enhancements including a more powerful engine, 18-inch aluminum wheels, sport suspension calibration, unique front fascia and dual exhaust. Inside, you'll find perforated Nappa leather seats, a heated steering wheel and front seats, dual-zone climate control, remote start (if you spec the automatic transmission), Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a seven-inch TFT display in the gauge cluster, and a whole lot more. Optional goodies include hyper black aluminum wheels, a technology group (pushbutton start, keyless go, rain-sensing wipers, blind spot monitoring and smart-beam headlamps), power sunroof, Sirius radio, Garmin navigation, Alpine premium sound and high-intensity discharge headlamps.
Powering the Dart GT is Chrysler's 2.4-liter MultiAir2 four-cylinder engine producing 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. That grunt is sent to the front wheels via a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic 'box is optional.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
