Overview of 1979 Dodge Magnum XE For Sale by Owner

The introduction of the Dodge Magnum in 1978 marked a significant moment in Dodge's history, serving as a complement to the Dodge Charger. Available in two variants, the "XE" and the "GT," it was the final model to utilize the enduring Chrysler B platform. With a design that softened the edges of the Charger, the Magnum was a strategic move towards creating a more aerodynamic vehicle for NASCAR eligibility, addressing the aerodynamic limitations of the 1975–1978 Charger. This initiative was crucial for keeping Mopar icon Richard Petty in the race, especially with the 1974 Charger being phased out for the 1978 NASCAR season. Presently, a meticulously preserved 1979 Dodge Magnum XE, boasting a mere 11,250 miles, is on offer, representing a pivotal era in motorsport racing under the Mopar banner.

Exterior and Interior

The 1979 Dodge Magnum XE shines in Teal, a quintessential 70s color, complemented by a teal vinyl top. Its design features, including four rectangular headlights behind retractable covers and narrow opera windows, epitomize the era's aesthetic. The vehicle stands on new Firehawk Indy 500 tires encircling steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, while chrome embellishments enhance the bumpers, side mirrors, and trim, reflecting the car's superb condition. Inside, the cabin welcomes with a teal cloth interior accented by wood grain and chrome, maintaining the exterior's color scheme. The dashboard and steering wheel, adorned in matching teal, complete the cohesive and vintage ambiance of the interior.

Engine

Powering this classic is a 360ci V8 engine equipped with an electronic lean burn system, reflecting the early incorporation of fuel efficiency innovations into the automotive sector. Coupled with a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, power is smoothly delivered to the rear wheels. The vehicle's suspension system features Chrysler's adjustable longitudinal torsion bars, lower trailing links, and anti-sway bars at both ends, ensuring a balanced and responsive ride. The pristine condition of the engine bay further attests to the care bestowed upon this vehicle, ready to captivate its next owner with its historical significance and impeccable preservation.

2005 Dodge Magnum R/T

Current Ask
SOLD

With a name like Magnum, you’d expect a sporty and potent machine, and this 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T doesn’t disappoint. It’s a station wagon, built on the Chrysler LX platform, and toting a V8 as it rightfully should, being an R/T trim. Hence, it’s the perfect vehicle for the family man or woman who doesn’t want an SUV. Today, station wagons have all but disappeared since many SUVs are basically jacked-up station wagons. This Magnum is not; it’s a proper station wagon with oodles of space and family practicality, minus the tall, high-riding stance. With a decent 126,215 miles done so far, this vehicle is currently in Tomball, Texas.

2006 Dodge Magnum Wagon SRT8

SOLD

A Dodge Charger…station wagon? Technically, yes. The Dodge Magnum was released in 2005 as the station wagon version of the Charger. The high performance SRT-8 version was available from the 2006 model year with several performance upgrades, including the 6.1L Hemi engine from the Chrysler 300 SRT-8. Like the Charger and the Chrysler 300, the Magnum was also based on the Chrysler LX platform, and shared parts from its partner company Mercedes-Benz, especially from the W211 E-Class and the W220 S-Class. Parts of the rear suspension came from the W211, while the design of the front suspension was derived from the W220. The transmission, differential, driveshaft, steering system and some electrical components were also from Mercedes. This car is reported to have done just 62,250 miles in 18 years.

2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible

Current Ask
$59,999

By 2005, performance cars were beginning to rely increasingly on electronics to make speed more approachable. Dodge took a different route with the Viper: place an enormous naturally aspirated V10 ahead of the driver, send its power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual, and leave the experience intentionally raw. This 2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible shows 38,913 miles and is finished in menacing Viper Black over a matching Black interior and soft top. Its factory 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, red brake calipers, and low-slung roadster proportions deliver the unmistakable presence expected from a Viper, while the limited-slip differential’s upgraded 3.55 rear gearing sharpens the response of its already formidable drivetrain. For the enthusiast who values displacement, manual control, and open-air theater over refinement and restraint, few automobiles tell the story quite like this one.
