Dodge Charger (1981-1987) for Sale near San Ramon, CA

Performance - Quick as hell, Braking could use work but a lil work with after marked parts, handling was amazing. Build Quality - Pretty strong all around. Appearance - Sleeper look with the heart of a champ. Cost of Ownership - Cheap parts for a dodge but quite a pain to work on, small spaces.

It was in all honesty the plymouth version of the same car, the plymouth Turismo it had a 2.2L I4 that put out about 110 hp and with a 5 speed it was a pretty quick little hatchback. I was the third owner my uncle and dad had had the car before I go ahold of it, my uncle had taken the power steering pump out and my dad the ac compressor before I got it and finally fixed the overheating problem it had. Overall it was a fun car would love to get my hands on another!

Great car. Low cost rocket. Easy to work on, easy to build power. Had two, on blue and one red (as pictured(photo courtesy of Pat Lofink, SDAC)) With very little modification, these 2.2L Turbos were easily capable of beating a stock 5.0 LX 0-60 and 1/4 mile. I speak from experience. Had mine as quick as 13.9 @ 110 mph, stock turbo, stock trans (for those in the know, this is not easy with an A525) Handled great with the stock Goodyear gatorback 50 series tires. Interior was a tad plasticy, but the seats were very good, with nice "CS" stitching.

How to review a K-car that I put 12 miles on in my year of ownership? Amazing is the best that comes to mind, my car came to me with a blown headgasket. While replacing that I threw in a huge cam, a 750cfm Holley carb, and, a long tube header with stright pipe. Other wise the car was very stock(shelby suspension and brakes) and very rusty. Once I got it running well eneough and decided to take it for a drive I didnt stop smiling for 3 days. It was by far the slowest and about the worst car I have ever driven and I would give anything for another one.

The first car purchased "for" me. Shouldn't been, however. Spent almost 1/2 of my senior year of high school in the shop. Went through two engines, three transmissions, and a ton of break pads. It was red, but it was a sheep in wolf's clothing. I was so glad to trade this in on the CRX Si.
