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.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions
Tue, 19 Nov 2013In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled
Sun, 24 Feb 2013A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.
