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!

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

It'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.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits 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.
