1968 Dodge Charger Base Hardtop 2-door on 2040-cars
Bixby, Oklahoma, United States
|
This 68 Charger was 90% restored 12 years ago. I purchased the car from an owner in Missouri.
BODY All body work was completed by a shop in Missouri. The body is very straight and the paint is in very nice shape especially for being 12 years old. It's been garage kept since the restoration. The paint has three coats of clear and it literally feels like glass and is super slick. There a a couple scratches on the hood. I plan to take it to a body shop to see if they can buff them out. There is a crack on the driver's side door by the trim. Rails are in good shape and the under body has been coated. To the best of my knowledge there are no rust concerns with this Charger. The glass appears to be all original and this is a power window car and I recently replaced all the wiring and switches as the old switches were no longer functional. ENGINE The engine is a 1972 400 Police Interceptor. I was unable to adjust the engine type in the Product details but it's a 400 and not a 383. I don't know why the original 383 4BL was replaced. The engine does appear to run a bit rich and dual Flowmaster mufflers are installed. I believe the wheels are original to the car. The front passenger wheel does have some rust showing on it now. It has the original drum brake system with a brake booster. I'm not super technical with the engine and transmission but will do my best to find the answers to any questions. I did purchase a 1968 383 engine to have rebuilt and put in this car along with a 727 torqueflite transmission with a 2500 stall converter. Neither have been installed at this point. They are for sale in addition to the car. ELECTRICAL All exterior lights are functional (vacuum hide-away headlight doors work), interior light works, blinkers work, dash light currently is not operational. Oil and temp gauges do not work. Installed new door locks. I do not have the original jack for the car. INTERIOR The seats are in very nice shape and were recently recovered. The upper door pads have cracks and need replacing as well as the arm rests. Carpet is in great shape and very clean. The radio that was installed has been removed as it was not working. I've been looking for an original radio to install but haven't found one at this time so that area is open. This is a very nice and solid car. It would make for a nice daily drive as it is or a great car to invest in with modern technology to turn into a beast. There are plenty of 68 Chargers out there but it will be hard to beat the condition of this one. I invite any serious buyer to come and look a the car in person so you know what you are buying. I've described the condition of the car honestly and to the best of my ability. Feel free to ask your questions and I will do my best to answer them. I can be reached by e-mail at 1968chargerguy@gmail.com and by phone at 918-706-9698. My name is Marcus. PAYMENT DETAILS I require $1,500.00 non-refundable initial deposit to my PayPal account. The remaining balance is to be paid in full by either a wire transfer or a money order. The car will not be released until payment has cleared by banking establishment. I am open to domestic and foreign buyers. Any shipping fees will need to be paid by the purchaser and I will accommodate those needs a necessary. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sales to a local buyer. |

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats
Thu, 02 Jan 2014It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
