Q: Dodge Charger?
I found a 72' Dodge Charger for $3000 and i can do a lot of work myself on it. What is it worth when it is all fixed up?
A: As a Muscle car collector I can tell you that True documented muscle cars are bringing high dollars, they are bringing in premium prices. The muscle cars I buy and sell are worth between $150'000 and $350'000. Who said they are not at a premium. In fact, I just sold my very rare Yenko Chevelle because the prices are so good. Here's the hitch, most people can't or won't lay out that much for an original that they probably shouldn't drive. So the next best thing is to build a clone. How do you clone? You get a cheap version of the car you like and build it up as a tribute to a high dollar Muscle car. Now, you have something cool and something you can drive. Clone car prices are on the rise which makes the originals even worth more to collectors. Now, I am assuming yours is a plain Jane type. Production numbers run like this: 2dr cpe 7'803, 2dr ht 45'361, 2dr SE ht 22'430. The highest hp engine was the 440 and was rated @ 280 hp. Nothing there to attract many collectors, thus lowering the value to them. I know, for all you Mopar nuts out there, the 440 six-pack was offered in the brochure, but was canceled before initial production. I need more info as to what might be special about your particular car. Is it a Rallye? 440? How many original miles? I will give you the high, low and middle ground. If you clone something cool or turn it into a street rod, you could catch the right crowd and it could sell for up to 3 times the restored value. Restored, with the limited info you gave us to go on.... Assuming that you took everything apart and did it right, Low is $10'000, high $16'000. Factory cars with 280 hp at the most just aren't anything that special when it come to collecting them. Unless there is something unique about them. Okay, if your car is one of the 7'803 2dr cpe, and has tons of options and was the right color and..... well you get the drift, then it might stand a chance of being a well sought after car in the future. My advice, have fun with it now, worry about the rest later. Forget the prices they quote you out of books. Look around your area of state. What are similar cars selling for. Look on line, look at auctions. DON'T take my word as gold, because you didn't give us very much info to go on. What's the most you would pay for a car from the 50's? $150'00? $250'00? Barrett Jackson Auction sold Howard Hugh's car for $1.5 million, because it was something special. So, do the research, break your Vin down, and your data plate, check out how rare it actually is, then you'll have a better idea.
Q: Does the Dodge Charger and the Dodge Caliber have bad blind spots?
My mom is letting me get a car this summer, and she is only going to let me get one if they don't have horrible blind spots. She is going to let me get either the Dodge Charger or the Caliber. Right now, she has a PT Cruiser, and it has the worst blind spots ever! Please give me the best info you can. I am leaning more towards the Dodge Charger!
A: for thos ethat like the pt cruiser...I say it is fine if they are enjoying that type of body style...but I believe it is dodges worse vehicle to be on the road...as for the charger ...it is possibly the best car for you out there ...it has an excellent safety rating(even car&driver magazine agrees)..but for a new driver it is a fun and easy car for all to drive..it is one of the best combinations of fun safety and ride and drive around...and as all vehicles may have blind spots....I believe you will find charger is even good to see rear ..side ..and front views for all...the rear glass is a little more slant view from rear view but is set to the ground right by thhe body to see very good all around...pt cruiser on the other hand is a driving hazard for operator as well as everyone else on road...even from front windshield it is rediculous they cause accidents...it reminds me of the earliest cars that you can barely see out of them enough to do anything but guess your distance to obsticles or other motorist..she should do you and us all a favor and trade it in and get you and her both a new dodge..they offer a big discount when doing this ..and you both will be happier and safer...good luck and hope you get charger...you will love it...

Q: How is a 2006 dodge charger in the winter?
I live in iowa and we can get a lot of snow in the winter. I know the charger is rear wheel drive but i was told buy some people that it has traction control and it helps in the winter. What are your thoughts on the performance of a new dodge charger in the winter?
A: RWD Chargers, Magnum's & 300's are pretty stable in winter driving conditions with ESP and if you add 4 winter tires to the car.
However, the Dodge Charger has come out with a AWD version for 2007 like the Magnum & 300's. These AWD versions are incredible in the snow and ice!

Q: Thinking about getting a Dodge Charger any advice?
I love the look of the Dodge Chargers, but I have had lots of bad experiences with BRAND NEW Dodges, I am afraid of getting something that will fall apart in a few years. Has anyone had any experience with the charger, does it have any bad qualities, and how is it on gas milage.
A: the charger is a pretty good car,they have experienced problems with transmissions,and other problems though,all cars have some problems,their not good on gas at all ,Chrysler has not the got the gas mileage thing figured out yet,i service a few though and most of them are doing ok,the most complaints i hear on those is the gas mileage especially with gas being the price it is now,i have had a few with electrical problems also that had to go back to the dealer,so use good judgment on this,good luck.

Q: Can a 1970 Dodge Charger can definitely beat any sport cars?
A kid at school told me that the 1970 Dodge Charger has 1200 mph , WHAT!!!!???????! how can this be true , i mean its a 1970 muscle car with a few horse power . What the heck ; is there such thing?
A: Yes, there is such a thing,but very few of any old American muscle cars have that kind of h.p. To give you a clear idea of what 1200 horses is like; watch "The Fast and Furious".After watching the last racing scene in the movie, you'll have a better idea of how a Charger(custom built) responds to 1200hp. Back in the 60's and "early" 70's,American stock sports cars ranged between 300-400 h.p. These cars ruled the streets,even through the 80's. In the early 90's, things changed. The Japanese sports cars made history by becoming a new threat to racing.

No. The Hemi is a different motor completely from the one your charger came with. Sorry. This guy is a retard!
