The heat works great as well as the defogger. - It also has a small hi torque starter - It does leak a small amount of oil after the car has been ran for a while, maybe a few drips, oil level has not gone done and pressure is always around 60 - It does not have a full exhaust. I have some flex pipe running off of the headers into glasspacks with turn downs. -Manual Choke cable for carburetor - The transmission needs a bigger stall convertor to really feel the power after the engine modifications. - Also the rearend has the original highway gears 2.76 I believe, will most likely benefit from installing higher gears(3.55 etc...) - The speedometer is off but I have a new speedometer cable. -The front hood will need to be re aligned as I believe it was hit in the front but no other visible damage to grill or bumper -There was also old bondo on the driver's side door when we sanded down some of the paint. -The original paint was scuffed and primed over, it was not brought down to bare metal except for the lower quarters and front fenders to repair rust from trim. - All the lights work, blinkers, brake lights, reverse lights(Reverse lights are hooked up to a switch, but I still have the steering column piece) - Also I have a set of fuses and extra bulbs. -I am also including a New set of Hedman 78030 Long Headers. Shorties are on there now. -Has original bumper jack and has a spare but the spare needs a new tire but the tires on the car are brand new cooper cobra 225 70 14. -I am including all of the chrome which is not on the car, the head liner metal rods and any other parts I can find that I have that were not used. -Here is a video of the car running, I put the microphone too close when so the sound gets distorted when I press the throttle.
- The car starts up and drives with no problems, the car will need a lot more body work and the rear glass will most likely have to be removed to fix the driverside upper corner better, some electrical for the gauge cluster and radio. -The car is not perfect but it runs great and the motor is all re done just has a small oil leak as stated above, but I am not sure if it is the pan gasket or rear main seal. -This is more of a ratrod type car. -The car is being sold AS-IS -Buyer is 100% responsible for picking up or shipping |

Chrysler 100, midsize CUV and plug-in hybrid minivan launch bid to go mainstream
Tue, 06 May 2014The news just keeps on rolling from Auburn Hills today, as Fiat Chrysler continues to detail its five-year growth plan. This time round, we're talking about Chrysler. The troubled American brand has been limited in the past few years to the lamentable Sebring/200, the Town & Country and the 300, although that's likely to change in the coming years.
"The Chrysler brand is not luxury - it's not premium. Chrysler is the mainstream American brand," brand CEO Al Gardner said during today's presentation.
Gardner set a sales target of 800,000 units by 2018, which marks an increase of 350,000 units compared to its 2013 sales results. That's a pretty big ask for a brand that's struggled to define itself over the past decade.
Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs
Wed, 23 Jul 2014The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.
Next Chrysler minivan to get optional AWD, nine-speed auto
Wed, 19 Feb 2014
"The minivan package has always been a sacred thing ... it's basically a life tool" - Ralph Gilles
The stalwart duo of Chrysler minivans will be reduced by half in the vehicle's next generation, with the Dodge Grand Caravan likely going away in favor of a new people-mover-type vehicle. And while the reworked Chrysler Town & Country shouldn't radically shake up the usual minivan formula, a new report from Automotive News suggests that some new technologies and thoughtful updates are in the cards for our Canadian-built van.
