Up for sale is my 2007 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona. This car is #268 out of 1,500 made during 2007. I am the first and only owner of the vehicle. It was purchased brand new back in May of 2007 and the title is clean (I own the vehicle---title in hand). Currently, the vehicle has 33,850 miles on the odometer, but the drivetrain actually has significantly less due to all of the modifications, which are detailed below. The car came with all options from the factory except the rear seat DVD player. The car originally had the standard 5.7L Hemi engine, but it has been swapped out for a fully forged 6.5L stroker motor that was purpose-built for a boosted application. The shortblock was blueprinted and assembled by ERL Performance, and it utilizes a K1 forged crankshaft, K1 H-beam forged rods, ARP mains, and Wiseco 9:1 forged pistons. The cam is also designed to work with a supercharger, as it is a 228/236 on a 116 LSA. On top of that, the car has ported and polished street/strip heads from PWR (with PSI 1511 springs, 2.05/1.60 stainless valves, titanium retainers, bronze guides, viton seals, machined locks, and hardened locators). When the motor swap was performed, brand new SRT lifters, forged pushrods, a new timing set, a 6.1 oil pump, and all new bolts/gaskets were installed as well to keep everything brand new. The car has Dynatech long-tube headers and gutted cats, flowing into a Borla “125” catback exhaust system with rolled 5” tips. The car is set up for DMH cutouts as well. I still have the factory shortblock that the car came with, should the new owner truly desire to have that as well (can be worked out for an additional price if desired, otherwise I am holding onto it for a future project). All of the motor and transmission work was performed by Erik Storms of BFNY Performance---the best builder in the business, hands down. His reputation precedes him, so the car was built with the utmost care and professionalism that you can possibly get from a modern Hemi installer. The motor swap was completed when the car had 29,246 miles on it, so the engine alone only has roughly 4,600 miles on it----practically brand new. On top of the motor sits is a 2.8L Kenne Bell supercharger. The blower was both purchased from and installed/tuned by Tim Barth of Mr. Norm’s Performance in Rockford, IL. This shop specializes in Kenne Bell distribution and installation, so once again the install of this supercharger was performed by some of the best in the business. With a 15lb pulley on, the car put down 648rwhp (that’s roughly 750 crank horsepower). The tune was backed down to 11lbs of boost to make it easier to manage for street driving, and that tune makes roughly 585rwhp as the car sits (approximately 715 crank horsepower). The blower was installed about a year after the motor when the car had 30,464 miles on it, so even the supercharger is practically brand new as well. Fueling this setup is an in-tank 255 Walbro fuel pump, a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump, -4 braided feed lines from tank to rails, billet fuel rails with front crossover, and SRT4 stage II injectors. In July of 2012, a new high performance transmission was installed in order to support all of the engine modifications. The transmission was built by Enhanced Transmissions out of Cleveland, OH with all upgraded clutches and was again installed by BFNY. The car has a completely custom 3100 billet stall converter as well, which was both designed and built by “BuilderBill” of Paramount Performance to work with a twin screw supercharger. Connecting the transmission to the rear end is a two-piece chromoly driveshaft from Paramount Performance as well. The stock 2.82 open rear differential was swapped out for a Getrag 3.73 limited slip rear end, which is essentially what most Challengers would later come with from the factory (beefier axles and a taller gear ratio). The car has a Wilwood big brake kit installed at all four corners for stopping power. The kit was purchased from TCE Performance Products back when the car had roughly 14K miles on it. In front, the kit utilizes 6-piston W6A calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 14” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors. In back, the kit utilizes 4-piston Wilwood calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 13” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors. Both front and rear kits utilize stainless steel braided brake lines as well. I originally installed Eibach coilovers on the car when it had roughly 10K miles on it. I have since upgraded to an air ride suspension system, but the Eibach struts are still used with this kit. The Eibach springs were swapped for air bags from Universal Air Suspension, who makes a phenomenal kit designed specifically for the Charger. There is a 5-gallon air tank, two Viair 480C air compressors, and all of the necessary valves installed in the spare tire well of the trunk, completely hidden from view. The air ride is controlled from a 3-switch panel that fits in the ash tray, just below the radio, for ease and convenience of use. The car will sit less than an inch off the ground if you air it down when parked, otherwise it can maintain a factory ride-height for driving purposes as you see fit. Exterior-wise, the car has undergone a complete transformation. All of the major bodywork (widebody, suicide doors, and vented front fenders) was performed by none other than the Widebody King himself---Topo of TS Designs in Paramount, CA. This is NOT a pre-fabbed kit. All of the body work is hand-crafted metal from start to finish. The car was in his possession for just shy of a year to get it to the point that you see now. The widebody resulted in approximately a 4” flare to either side of the rear end, starting near the taillight on each side and extending all the way down the middle of each rear door. The front fenders are stock Charger fenders that have been modified to include the vent (they are NOT fiberglass or any other cheap replacement material, but rather factory metal fenders). The suicide hinges were purchased from the best in the business as well---Street Dreams by Ross out of Michigan. He makes the best and strongest parts for suicide applications, and he came highly recommended by Topo as well. This is the type of body surgery you only want to do ONCE and never have to worry about it again, so that is exactly what was accomplished here: the best parts installed by the best people. To fill out the widebody, the car has completely custom USW Forged “D-LUX” wheels. These are three-piece wheels with a gloss black/Sublime painted center, chrome outer barrels, and black powdercoated inner barrels. The front wheels are 22x9.5” with 265/30/22 Pirelli tires, and the rears are 22x12” (8” outer barrel and 4” inner) wrapped in massive 335/25/22 Pirelli tires. Nothing was spared on this wheel/tire combo. The wheels were cut perfectly to clear the brakes without spacers, and the fit and finish is second to none. The car has a front fascia and side skirts made by Grip Tuning. The side skirts had to be modified a bit to accommodate the widebody, to be expected. The car maintains the factory Sublime Metallic paint that it originally came with, but it has a bit more flake added to the mix than factory. From more than 10 feet away, you can’t even tell it’s any different from the stock color, but get up close to it or catch it in the right light and the flake will really pop. The car has some airbrush work done on the outside (hood, quarter panels, trunk lid, spoiler) as well as under the hood. All of the remaining prep and primary paint/clear/finishing work was performed by Addison Auto Body in Addison, IL---again, complete masters of their craft. The car is absolutely perfect from bumper to bumper (absolutely no dents, dings, or scratches of any kind). The car has 40% tint all the way around, and a 15% banner across the front window, which ties in with the gloss black roof and painted window trim nicely. Under the hood, the engine bay has been completely transformed, largely due to all of the billet aluminum add-ons from Billet Technology out of South Florida. They produced the black anodized valve covers, coil packs covers, and under-hood cover/cap kit. They also did all of the “HULK” engraving that you see on these parts as well. The painted reservoirs, ABS cover, and firewall cover were done in color-matched Sublime paint as well. The radiator cover (which carries the flame/stripe combo under the hood when it is popped for shows) will come along with the car too. The interior of the car remains largely untouched from the factory. The steering wheel trim and gauge rings were painted Sublime to match the radio bezel, and the shifter handle was swapped for a black billet version. Other than that, the seats, door panels, headliner, carpeting, etc. all remain as they were from the factory. I was not willing to sacrifice comfort inside the car for interior car-show features, so aside from the sound system work, the interior is completely stock. The factory navigation unit was swapped for a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT NAV unit, but still runs stock interior speakers throughout. In the trunk, an Alpine PDX1.1000 powers a JL Audio 13W7 subwoofer mounted in a trunk set up built specifically for the Charger by JL Audio themselves down in South Florida. The box and beauty panels are wrapped in a grey-colored suede, and the inside of the box has Sublime painted walls as well. There is a “DAYTONA” emblem in the floor of the trunk that is lit by green LED’s when the trunk is popped. There is an HC1200 Kinetik battery in use for the sound system---in addition to the stock car battery---so as to prevent unnecessary drain on the car. I spent five years of my life getting this car to the point it is at now. This was all done by me personally---no sponsorships, and nothing was free or anything like that---with a lot of help from a lot of great people that went into this car. No expenses were spared when this car was built. The car can be turned into a weekend showcar or a full-on drag car with absolute ease, but it was built to be a turnkey daily driver first and foremost. I wanted the car to be as reliable as it was when I first bought it, so it was always built with that in mind from the start. I have spent the last year since “finishing” the car to enjoy what I’ve built, but now it is time to move on to something else. I can provide as much detail as needed on ANY of the parts/people that were involved in the building of this car, should the new owner ever need to track down some information about anything that was done to the car. Please let me know if there are any questions, and good luck with the bidding. -I am not interested in trades of any sort -Upon auction close, a $500.00 deposit will be required within 24 hours. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the car can be picked up. -The car can be shipped if local pick-up is not possible, but it must be done completely at the buyer's coordination and expense. -All sales are final.

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new
Thu, Jan 6 2022Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape. Â BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021. Â Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year. Â Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
FCA and UAW deal could mean huge production shakeups
Thu, Sep 17 2015The big labor contract between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers is likely to lead to some very serious production shakeups across the company's North American manufacturing operations. That's according to a new report from Automotive News, which details the sweeping changes at no fewer than five production facilities in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Mexico, and Poland. So without further ado, here's what's going where, presented in easy to digest bullet form. Ram 1500 production would move from Warren, MI to Sterling Heights, MI Warren, MI would be retooled for unibody production and would handle the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and could potentially build Grand Cherokees to ease the strain on Detroit's Jefferson North factory Chrysler 200 production would move from Sterling Heights, MI to Toluca, Mexico Dodge Dart production would move from Belvidere, IL to Toluca, Mexic Fiat 500 production, which is currently handled by Toluca, would be concentrated in Poland, where the Euro-spec Cinquecento is built Jeep Cherokee production would move from Toledo, OH to Belvidere, IL to make room for Wrangler and Wrangler Pickup production Like we said, those are some big changes. But, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said in an earlier interview with Automotive News, this kind of shakeup would make a lot of sense. In that August interview the exec said that automakers moved truck production to Mexico because they were "threatened" by the UAW. "The only thing [the UAW] want is to move the truck back. Which is right. If you move the truck back here, which is [the UAW's] domain, [and move] all the cars that we get killed on somewhere else, we could actually make sense of this bloody industry and actually increase the number of people employed in this country and really share wealth because we are making money," Marchionne told AN.

Fiat Chrysler's next-generation Uconnect is faster, built on Android
Mon, Jan 27 2020If you're a regular reader of Autoblog, you know that for a long time we've liked Fiat Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system for its bright, clear, responsive touchscreen interface. Now, according to the company, it will be better than ever with Uconnect 5, the latest iteration of the system. It has upgraded hardware and a revamped graphic user interface (the stuff on the screen). Looking at sample screens shown above, there are characteristics shared with the old system, such as the time, status and shortcuts at the top and the menu icons at the bottom. In the middle, the major change is the addition of home screens that can be customized with favorite menus and readouts that are always available. Each of these home screens can have up to four functions and you can have five pages to flip through. The graphics themselves feature more legible fonts and updated icons. Each car brand will get its own set of icons, colors and textures to help create unique experiences. And while each Fiat Chrysler product will be able to have Uconnect, including Alfa Romeo that has until now lacked Uconnect, each brand has the ability to make small tweaks including the screen orientation. The system will support displays in landscape, portrait or square, so different brands may choose different shapes. Powering Uconnect 5 is a processor Fiat Chrysler says is six times more powerful than what's in current systems. It features 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal storage. The processor also supports screens as large as 12.3 inches with as many as 15 million pixels, or nearly twice that of a 4K resolution TV. The system can display information on up to four screens, too. Uconnect 5's firmware is built on Google's Android operating system, joining a few other automakers in using Android as a base for their infotainment systems. Uconnect 5 brings with it a number of new features. It brings full Alexa integration, so you can use it just like you do at home, provided you have a data plan for the car. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto continue to be standard, but now they can be used wirelessly. You can also now connect two phones via Bluetooth wirelessly so you can access content from both. Navigation gets real time information and updates from TomTom. Users can create five profiles with unique climate, radio and instrument settings, plus one for a valet.
