Dodge Magnum For Sale

OFF MARKET

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.

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.

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.
