1971 Dodge Dart Swinger Panther Pink! Fresh Restoration! Up for you consideration is a very nice example of very cool car. This car was born as a slant six, automatic, grocery getter. That has now been taken care of! What we now have is a beautiful panther pink hot rod, ready to make people smile for years to come! Every single piece on the car has either been restored, or replaced with high quality parts. There have also been safety, and reliability items added to make it that much more enjoyable to own, and drive. Factory air conditioning is also present! To start, the body was completely disassembled and cleaned. The car was, and is, completely 100% rust free. All panels are solid as a rock, and original to the car. The body received very minimal body work to make it straight as an arrow. Once it was ready, it them received a very high quality two stage paint job. Three coats of base, and four coats of clear of high quality DuPont product. After the paint cured, it then receive a nice wet sand and buff, bringing the panther pink to life! Its stunning! The pictures do not do the car justice. We then applied the 340 hood treatment, and the bumble bee stripe around the rear. They really give the car a muscular look. Brand new weatherstrip was installed all around the car. The interior was next on the list to bring the car up to the highest standard. The interior received all new upholstery top to bottom. New seat upholstery, door panels, rear side panels, carpeting, and headliner. Looks better than new! The dash pad was redone exactly like the original and looks beautiful on the powder coated dash panel. All off the dash bezels were also redone at the same time. To add some muscle to the interior I installed a tuff grip steering wheel, along with the correct horn cap and adaptor. A brand new shifter boot and trim ring was also pit in to wrap around the 340 3 speed chrome shifter. You have to see it to believe it! To make the car stop and turn as good as it looks, the entire suspension, front to rear, has been rebuilt or replaced! Polyurethane bushings were installed to tighten up the suspension, and really give it a nice ride. All new ball joints, tie rods, idler arm give it a tight steering feel and make it a joy to carve the corners. New shocks were installed all around as well. This was the time to upgrade those weak front drum brakes. The large bolt pattern disc brakes were installed on the front, and the large 10x2.5" rear drums were added to the 8 3/4" heavy duty rear axle with Yukon axles and green bearings. The car stops like a new car. Also installed was the more modern master cylinder, and brand new brake lines. Nothing needs to be done except to drive it! The 318 under the hood has received some love. A Mopar Performance purple cam was added to give it a nice rumble at idle, and provide some good breathing for the Edelbrock Torker 340 intake, and NOS Carter 600 cfm carb. Hei ignition, one wire alternator, MSD plug wires, Edelbrock valve covers, and much more. No expense was spared with the exhaust system. TTI headers were installed, along with the full TTI exhaust system front to back! The car sounds amazing! Has a very nice rumble to it, but isn't annoyingly loud. The three speed manual transmission shifts nice and smooth with no grinding or any other issues. The flywheel has been resurfaced and a brand new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing were installed. Good to go for years to come! A new fuel tank and sending unit were installed as well. The exterior received a lot of added attention. Brand new AMD bumpers were installed front and rear. Brand new tail light, and park light lenses were also installed! An original set of hood pins were also added to give it that true muscle car vibe. A brand new vinyl top was installed, and all of the exterior trim was straightened and polished like new. A brand new windshield was also installed. To give the car a bit of a modern look I also put some nice wheels and tires on it. 18x7 on the front, and 18x8 on the rear really give it a nice look. As you can see, there were no short cuts taken building this beautiful car. It runs, drives, looks, and sounds, AMAZING!!! You will not be disappointed to show this car to your friends. I get thumbs up everywhere I take it. The girls really like the car too. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. There are a lot of things I have forgotten to add I'm sure. I can also provide many other photos on request. Thanks! And happy bidding!

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
