1978 Dodge Magnum GT Coupe
Offered for sale, this very rare 1978 Dodge Magnum GT. A true GT, even though the side emblems show XE (they all started as XE's). The original fender flares, aluminum dash and other features were only found and installed on the GT model. This magnum looks a bit tired and frumpy, but overall is in fair/good shape. It is straight, solid and with no apparent body damage. The paint is tired and does not shine anymore, and is faded and deteriorated somewhat on the hood and trunk as well as the flares (the previous owner had the car in Texas). There are some rust issues - mostly surface discoloration - but there are a couple of small holes on the floor pans (behind the driver seat). The worst is on the underneath of the trunk lid near the edge at the bottom (doesn't look too nice). The t-tops are in great shape, so is the glass and the windshield. The bumpers are straight and shinny and are in good shape. All the trim, stainless and aluminum, etc. is in very good shape and is straight and does not show any damage. the rear lenses are in very nice condition and the front lenses are fair/good condition, they should/could be buffed up. The wheels are fair, but show some rust here and there (two of the original wheels are in the trunk along with the bumpers guards). The tires are so-so (show some slight dry rot and/or wear). The interior is in fair to good condition. The dash and instrument panel, steering wheel, etc. are in nice condition (there are a few small cracks on the dash pad). The door panels, hard vinyl panels, etc. are in fair to nice condition, and are all there. The seats are in fair to good shape except for the driver seat, which should either be repaired and/or reupholstered. A set of seat covers might be good enough. The carpet will need to be replaced (it was removed by the previous owner). The 360 V8 engine starts, runs and sounds as it should. The car does drive ok on short distance drives or while moving it around (I have not driven it for any distance or on the highway). The brakes feel rather soft. I would highly recommend that the car be shipped or trailered to its new destination. Overall this is a car well worth restoring, way too nice and complete to be used only as a parts car. The car is attractively priced with a low/reasonable reserve.
These B Body Magnums are truly a collector car since they were only manufactured for two years (1978 and 1979). I had purchased this GT because of its rarity and also as a spare for my other 1978 Dodge Magnum 2Dr Coupe XE which is in remarkable and excellent original condition with only 36,500 miles. This Magnum XE is also for sale as well as many extra parts (exterior trimwork, extra tail lights, interior hard vinyl panels and trim, etc., etc.) that I had aquired to have as replacement parts on hand for these rare cars. The Magnum XE and the extra parts are not a part of this aucton, but are available for purchase upon inquiry.
Please note this car will be sold on a Bill of Sale only. A $520 deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction via PayPal with the remainder of the balance due via Bank Wire or cash in person upon pick up. The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. Car is sold as-is and sale is final. Thanks for looking!

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos
Wed, 21 May 2014Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
