Once-Plum Crazy Project: 1970 Dodge Super Bee

Parked For 20 Years: 1969 Dodge Charger Project

The Dodge Charger was not an instant success. Introduced in 1966, sales were somewhat mediocre in its first two years (average: 26,566 units). Then the Chrysler B-bodied intermediates got redesigned in 1968 and the average grew to 74,861 Chargers… more»

68k-Mile Project: 1986 Dodge 600 Convertible

Occasionally, a seller’s frustration is evident in their advertisement, and I think this is one of those circumstances. The owner of this Dodge 600 simply wants to get rid of the car; it belonged to his late father-in-law, he… more»

Slant-Six Survivor: 1975 Dodge Dart Swinger

One of the better-selling compact cars of the 1960s and 1970s was the Dodge Dart. Along with its sibling, the Plymouth Valiant, the automobiles brought a lot of buyers into Chrysler showrooms. The Swinger was added to the Dart… more»

13k Original Miles: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10

I have always believed that the motoring world during the 1970s and 1980s provided enthusiasts with little visual excitement. Manufacturers managed to claw back much of the engine power lost to emission regulations, but styling had become quite conservative…. more»

Hemi Pickup! 2007 Dodge Charger SRT8

Push-Button Tranny! 1964 Dodge Custom 880

Rare Rental: 1988 Shelby CSX-T

There are chapters in history that almost always make me nostalgic for the 1980s, with most of them being obvious things like music, fashion, and general attitude of society at the time. However, another meaningful footnote in history at… more»

No Reserve: V8-Powered 1966 Dodge A100
