This is an amazing vehicle that you will have to see to believe! This awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. Nearly every nut and bolt is new- the car just went through a complete professional restoration.  All rotted metal was cut out and replaced, no bondo was used in the completely professional restoration.  The car was just repainted in this dazzling Plum Crazy metallic paint, with black racing stripes down both sides to really give it a really mean street racer look.  New fiberglass hood with hood scoop, new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, new windshield.

 

Car was originally a 318 but was replaced with a rebuilt 440 that has under 10,000 miles. Everything is else is new and has less than 600 miles on it.  Including a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift kit and b&m quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a rebuilt rear.  New headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust.  Rebuilt carb.  New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling fan.  Chrome valve covers, alternator, pullies.  Msd Ignition and Distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder.  New front and rear sway bars.  Also, both center headlights were removed and replaced with a chromed out cold ram air system with dual air filters and you really feel it when you step on the gas.  

 

The interior is also completly redone.  New carpet, seat covers front and rear, grant steering wheel, headliner, custom floor mats and a new dash pad.  Blue led lighting added under seats and dash.  And blue led streetglow around the underneath side of car that really lights up the road.

 

NOW THE NEGATIVES, and there aren't many.. 

 -There is a small chip in the paint on the MOLDING thats attached to the fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and you really dont even notice it, can easily be fixed.  All other paint is flawless and just about show quality, no dents, no scratches.

 - Also, although the vinyl top is new it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the drivers side seam is a tiny wavy. 

-Fuel gauge is inoperative

-Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected

-Seat belts not installed

 

 Other than these small thing the car is just about perfect, it runs and shifts perfectly, and its got plenty of power.  The reserve is set very reasonably, i have over 40k into car, my loss is your gain.  Good luck

However, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the driver’s side seam is slightly wavy. Fuel gauge is inoperative. Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected. Seat belts not installed.

Other than these small items, the car is just about perfect.  This monster runs and shifts perfectly, and it has plenty of power.  The reserve is set very reasonably.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT with 5-speed manual transmission

Sat, Feb 22 2020

When DaimlerChrysler unleashed the Caliber as a Neon replacement for the 2007 model year, the American car-buying world was put on notice that cute transportation appliances would be kicked to the side by the hobnailed boots of a new generation of angry, brutish, truck-influenced transportation appliances. The Caliber sold well enough at first, but eventually blurred into the fleet-car background noise and got shoved aside by the Alfa-derived Dart after 2012. Since I'm always on the lookout for super-rare three-pedal cars while I'm poking around in junkyards, I check out discarded Calibers in the hope of spying such a machine. This work paid off when I spotted this first-model-year '07 in a Northern California yard last month. In fact, the 5-speed manual transmission came as standard equipment on the non-R/T Calibers in 2007, but nearly every Caliber buyer opted to get the continuously variable automatic instead. That odd-looking horizontal shifter rod reminds me of the one in the early-1970s Honda 600. One reason I check out junkyard Calibers is that I'm trying to find a Boston Acoustics "MusicGate" speaker box, an optional rig that went on the inside of the hatch, to use in my next car-parts boombox project. I haven't managed to find one yet, but I'm not giving up. This car is a luxurious SXT, the trim level that squeezed between the bare-bones SE and the high-zoot R/T. When you bought the SXT, you got the pimp-grade Chill Zone™ (a beverage compartment with internal air-conditioner ducts) as standard equipment. Now this rare Caliber sits among the discarded PT Cruisers and Avengers of the yard's Chrysler section, on the flight path of the big C-5s heading into Travis Air Force Base.

Dodge's marketers tried hard to make the Caliber look tough, even murderous, the kind of car that would use an old Polara bumper jack to beat cuddly cartoon characters to death in a spray of flying teeth and blood-spattered fur. If all Calibers had come with manual transmissions, perhaps this macho image would have stuck better than it did. This content is hosted by a third party.

Dodge, Jeep and Ram could soon be owned by Chinese automakers

Mon, Aug 14 2017

For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM
