This car has been mine for nearly 40 years.  It's been sitting idle since 1976, mostly indoors.

Needs a restoration.

Must be seen.

I've just pulled it out into the sun for a cleanup, an engine pull, and pics.  I will post more pics as the clean up progresses.

Some rust is evident but the need for panel replacement due to rust is doubtful.

Basically stock and unmolested with original manifolds, exhaust pipes and tail pipes.

Original windshield is nice.

Both bumpers are straight with original chrome.

Left side is damaged and needs a quarter panel hung and a fender (I have a full used quarter purchased around 1976 that's EXCEPTIONAL but I don't have the fender.).  Left fender, door, and quarter half were replaced with new in early 73 after a collision.  Door has some surface rust but is straight and undamaged with no cancerous rot.

Engine needs a rebuild as it sat without the air cleaner outdoors for awhile in the 80s and it took on some water.  It was disassembled to the shortblock and has been pulled but the shortblock has not yet been disassembled for inspection.  Some pieces are missing.

Transmission shifted impressively when parked and has never been apart but it did have a governor problem.

4.10 Dana rear axle was tight and sound and the fluid was exchanged at least once before parked.

Much of the interior is sound as is. 

Original trunk mat is included but weathered and I have the jack.  4 NOS RWL Polyglas G70s are also included as well as the original RWL Polyglas G70 14 spare T&W that has traveled only a few miles.

Front bumper is sound and included.

36,000 miles.

Exposed headlights and louvered hood.

The ORIGINAL 14x6 (Magnum type) Road Wheels go with it.

NOT your typical Mopar muscle car.  This is a virgin car that awaits a buyer who wants a stunning piece to build and enjoy that won't be mistaken for the typical orange or purple piece that's been apart and rebuilt at least once by multiple owners since new.  Is that you? 

I first rode in this car in June 1971 and owned it several years later and have owned it ever since.

I replaced the original 440 badges on the hood in the first hour of ownership to keep the thieves at bay and to help attract innocent prey and they are still in place.

Questions?  Please ask and yes the fender tag is attached and yes I have the build sheets.

Dodge Journey recalled for freezing fluid lines

Sun, May 8 2016

The Basics: FCA is recalling 10,944 examples of the 2009-16 Dodge Journey - specifically those equipped with the optional engine block heaters and located in extremely cold climates. The Problem: Power steering fluid lines may leak when starting the engine in extremely cold weather, which would increase the amount of effort required to steer the vehicle. Injuries/Deaths: FCA reports that it is "unaware of any related injuries or accidents." The fix: The manufacturer is working on expediting replacement parts to resolve the issue in those vehicles potentially affected. If you own one: Expect to hear from the manufacturer soon to arrange service. Your chances of being affected are higher if you live in Canada, where a far greater number – estimated at 187,436 – of Journeys may be affected. Related Video: STATEMENT: FLUID LINE May 6, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 10,944 U.S.-market midsize crossover vehicles equipped with optional block heaters to address fluid-line durability in extreme, cold-weather conditions. An investigation found some lines carrying power-steering fluid may leak at engine start-up, when the vehicle is subject to extreme cold. Steering is not lost in such circumstances. However, if a vehicle is so-affected, the amount of physical effort required to steer may increase. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Affected are certain model-year 2009-2016 Dodge Journey vehicles. An estimated 187,436 vehicles in Canada are also subject to this recall. Replacement parts are expected to become available soon. Affected customers will be notified accordingly. FCA US urges customers to follow the instructions on all recall notices. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot 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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
