This is a real 1970 Dodge Challenger RT 440 v-code 6 pac car. It is NOT a shaker hood purple car. I added a photo
of what the car looked like in the 80's So you understand the history of the car. The owner at that time bought it
off of a board at the local car parts store at that time it had a 340 6 pac and retained its factory color of F3
light green metallic. Still had a 4spd and dana with 4;10 gears. After purchasing the car he had all the custom
work done and did not care it was a V-code car and does not know what happened to the fender tag and he does not
remember the guys name he bought it from. The car and history is well known in the St Louis mo mopar area. But that
is as far back as the history of the car is known. So what is known is it was F3 green 440 6 pac 4spd dana super
trac pac car.
In the late 80's the car had a electrical fire and burnt the interior up and the insurance company totaled the
car out. He bought it back and striped the car and it went to the junk yard and sat there for a few years until
somebody peeled back the white fur on the dash and saw the vin number and saved it from the junk yard and it was
passed around to 4 or 5 owners until I got it and restored it to the condition it is now.
I decided to restore it how I would of ordered it new. I got it as a shell and it came out of body shop that did
not finish it they replaced a frame rail due to setting on the ground and the roof skin was warped from the fire.
They also had partial quarters on it when I got it. I cut them off and put Good Mark full quarters on and finished
all the body work and did full rotisserie restoration and painted it with the help from the owner of Claydoe Custom
paint. That was 9 years ago. The interior is Legendary. The gauges are original with the clock and tac rebuilt and
work perfect. The motor is bored 30 over with sealed power forged pistons 6 pac rods and balancer and the hemi oil
pan with high volume pump oil psi is between 60 and 80 psi. The heads have stainless steel valves and hardened
seats and are set up to run super unleaded pump gas. The intake is the cast iron one with original Holley carbs
rebuilt by Pro-Max out of Indy. Motor runs great I have it set up with a Chrysler 4spd overdrive transmission with
the 4;10 gears it turns 2600 rpms at 70 So the car is very driveable I have been on 3 power tours with the car with
no problems would not be afraid to take it again tomorrow. It is a fun car to drive and take to shows and cruises.
The car is not a 100 point show car the paint has a few blemishes and nics and scratches and there is a small
bubble on the bottom of the driver door. As you can tell by the pictures it is beautiful car and shows very well
you can take it to any local show and take home a trophy. The under carrage is still shinny and looks great Last
year on the Hot Rod Power tour coming out of Madison. Wi.

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut

Mon, 08 Oct 2012

Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
