Up for auction is a 1970 Dodge Challenger rolling body without a motor or transmission. It started out as a 6 cyl, auto. It has an 8-3/4" rearend from an R/T of the same year. The front spindles have been changed from drums to discs using 1976 A-body spindles and calipers. The rotors are rusty and not usable as I just put them on to move it around. A lot of the front suspension bushings have been changed out with new ones. Ball joints are all new. The K-member with power steering box was taken out of the car and cleaned and painted gloss black. The linkage, tie-rod ends, have not been changed out yet. The steering column is out of the car as it was recently painted and have not had time to install again. The intereior of the car is shot as shown in picture. The dash is mostly disassembled and was being taken out to set an air conditioning unit (from the same year R/T) in place to finish drilling a few holes to mount it later. The front floorboards have rust  (more in the drivers side) and the trunk has been patched in the past but still would need to be replaced to make it right. I have the Grille and only one of the headlight bezel. Have most of the inside plastic panels, some may be faded chipped, etc. Glass is all good with some fading on the front windshield. The other windows have been replaced with factory tinted glass except for the drivers side which is included. The body is in pretty good shape with a few dings and small rust spots which can be fixed. The underhood area has been cleaned, sanded, primed, almost ready for paint.  Also included is a 1968 Fury 3 4-door with 383 V-8, automatic which had been converted in the past to electronic ignition. This was also a running car I drove back to where I live when I bought it. It ran fine but it has set a couple of years since then and in the meantime 2 of the tires have gone down-one is almost off the rim, and a critter had made lunch out of some of the spark plug wires. This would be a good swap into the Challenger as the K-member was set up for use with a small or big block. This was what I was planning before losing storage of these vehicles. Have clear titles for both vehicles also. This is a project deal and both cars are included and are being sold As-Is. NOTE--Winning bidder to pick-up at location. I cannot deliver.

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.

Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
