I had to relist this auction because I was not able to add the info needed to the first one. When I brought the car to my house as described below the truck was locked and there was no key. While fielding questions about parts I realized there is too much missing from the car and I remember seeing all that stuff at some point. Anyway, I got into the truck and found all of the missing parts. So I canceled the first auction and started this one. This way everyone has all of the information from the start. Thank you. I used to drive it all the time but over the past ten years it has been sitting in my driveway. I changed the top but my cat and the weather were able to tear it up. The car was always stored with a high quality cover. I changed the cover about five times over the years. The car was last stored at my office for about six years. I just sold that building and so you can see in some of the photos the car was towed to my house. I just now wrapped it in the blue non breathable tarp knowing it would only be here for a week or two. My village is very picky about unregistered cars in the driveway, which is why I covered it. The car is all original. The dashboard with the dome panel. The push button transmission gears. All of the chrome. Most of the missing interior parts in the photos are packed nicely in the trunk. The car has little to no surface rust. I haven't started the engine in a few years. This car needs a full restoration. I have a clean TRANSFERABLE REGISTRATION, which in NY for 1970 and older is the same thing as a title. It is a great project car for anyone who has the time and the effort. The car is located on Long Island in NY. Anyone is welcome to see the car before or after winning the auction. Once payment is made the sale will be final. Buyer is responsible for all transpiration of the vehicle. The car must be removed within ten days of sale. About the car itself. The engine is a big block. I am not sure of the engine size exactly. There is one carb and everything is original. At some point I was going to restore the car and so I took apart the interior. It is all sitting in the trunk. All the door panels and little reading lights and power window switches are all there. There exterior 300 emblems are in great condition. The top is ripped up but the mechanics of the top work fine. You can see the truck photos show no rust or bond. Even though the car sat it held up very well. This was a running and driving car with working everything when I last used it. But that was a while ago. So the only thing wrong with the car would be time and lack of use. |

Mopar celebrates 50 years of the 426 Hemi
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Think of Chrysler performance and the names Mopar and Hemi are bound to come to mind. Chrysler and its Mopar performance parts division first introduced the original Hemi (so named for its hemispherical combustion chambers) back in 1951, celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2011. But it was thirteen years later - 50 years ago - that the Pentastar automaker rolled out the most iconic Hemi of them all: the Gen II 426.
The massive 7.0-liter V8 engine instantly became a muscle car icon and went on to become a favorite of racecar constructors. Two competition versions of the Gen II 426 Hemi were made: one for the track and one for the drag strip, and both went on to illustrious strings of victories. The race engine first debuted at the 1964 Daytona 500 where it powered Richard Petty's Plymouth to the checkered flag and on to the NASCAR championship.
Meanwhile on the drag strip, the Gen II 426 Race Hemi propelled Don Garlits past 200 miles per hour and down the quarter-mile in 7.78 seconds. Changes in NASCAR regulations meant that Chrysler devoted the engine to NHRA drag racing, and to this day the Gen II 426 Race Hemi is still used in Funny Car and Top Fuel dragsters.
Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
