I'm selling my 2002 Dodge Neon SE for parts or repair. I bought the car on ebay and discovered it needs far more done to it than I thought. It currently DOES NOT RUN and will need to be towed away by the winning bidder. I have most of the parts needed for the repairs and I have removed most of the defective parts myself but due to my current poor health I can no longer work on the vehicle. Outside is in fair shape with some minor hail damage and a few deep scratches and fading paint on the trunk lid and rear fascia. Interior is fair but needs a cleaning. (Interior was dirty when I received the car; didn't get time to clean it thoroughly.) It needs the following items replaced:
1. valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals 
2. lower radiator hose
3. air filter and PCV valve 
4. drive belts and the drive belt tensioner assembly 
5. upper and lower motor torque mounts
6. radiator cap and thermostat
7. transmission fluid changed and filter and pan gasket replaced
8. spark plugs, wires, and coil pack
9. lower front control arms and ball joints and new bushings for the stabilizer bar links
10. alternator 
11. AC compressor (was blowing cold air before but compressor clutch was starting to seize up)

Once the car is fixed it should run good. When I received it #2 spark plug was oil soaked, #3 and #4 were basically fried, the engine shook worse than a paint mixer, and the transmission had almost no fluid in it. I did drain the oil and replaced the oil filter and oil drain plug but did not put oil in it yet due to the fact I was waiting til I changed out the valve cover gasket. I have a 5 qt. bottle of Mobil 5000 10W30 that will be included with the car. I have the following parts already in my possession and will include them with the car when they sell:
1. New USA Industries alternator (not reman.)
2. New Gates drive belts
3. New NGK spark plugs, new coil pack and new plug wires attached to the coil pack already
4. New air filter and PCV valve
5. New Fel-Pro valve cover gasket set with new tube seals, grommets, and the valve cover gasket
6. New Anchor upper and lower engine torque mounts
7. New transmission filter kit with new trans. pan gasket and new filter
8. New Stant radiator cap and Superstat thermostat with Fel-Pro seal
9. New Dorman spark plug tubes   

These are the parts I do not have that will need to be purchased by next owner:
1. AC compressor (About $180-$280 depending on store)
2. Drive belt tensioner assembly (Use Gates, they are the best) $138 on Rockauto.com
3. lower control arms and ball joints (Dorman controls arms $42 per side on Rockauto.com)
4. lower radiator hose (about $10-$18)

I have tried to list every and all problems known about the car. There are NO warranties implied or otherwise. Due to my poor health I can no longer work on, and I apologize that the car is not running. I currently have the car on jackstands due to the fact the engine mounts have been removed and the engine is resting on its oil pan (with wood blocks underneath) on a hydraulic floor jack. The motor will have to be raised a little and secured somehow in the engine bay. Please contact me for more info and any other questions and I'll be happy to answer them. The winning bidder will be responsible for picking up the vehicle and any and all shipping costs. The car  MUST BE TOWED to its new home. This is a NO RESERVE auction! highest bidder wins!!!!

Viper ACR privateers' Nurburgring runs detailed in new documentary

Tue, Feb 13 2018

Discontinued in the summer of 2017, the Dodge Viper is out of production, relegated to the hearts and garages of those who love it. But as a last hurrah, a crowdfunded privateer team took two Viper ACRs to the famous Nurburgring racetrack to both celebrate the Viper's existence and to try and lap the long Nordschleife track in under 7 minutes. Going after the fastest recorded production car lap, they gunned for the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's 6:52 time, but hot August temperatures caused tire problems and the Viper remained on the wrong side of 7 minutes despite the best efforts of ex-Porsche cup driver Lance David Arnold and SRT driver Dominik Farnbacher. In essence, the team ran factory-spec Viper ACR Extremes on factory tires; showroom fresh, the cars were delivered straight from Texas. But despite not getting under the 7-minute mark, they still became the first non-automaker-affiliated team to set an official Nurburgring lap time — and the 7:01.3 they laid down on their best run made the Viper ACR the fastest RWD, fastest manual and fastest American-built car on the track. Now, a full documentary of the record attempt has been released to the public, detailing all the pain and exhilaration that goes into running this kind of cars on their absolute limit on one of the most demanding racetracks in the world. It's 24 minutes of pure excellence. You can also re-view the record lap here in its entirety: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Want a new 2017 Viper? You'd better call Gerry Wood Dodge

Thu, Oct 6 2016

As unfortunate as the news may be, the Dodge Viper is entering its final year of production. Slow sales and increased safety regulations have finally killed Dodge's big, brutish, and beautiful supercar. It will be missed. According to Motor Authority, those looking to pick up one of the last remaining models will have to travel to Gerry Wood Dodge in Salisbury, North Carolina. The dealer has apparently managed to secure the final allocation of cars for itself. All 135 or so remaining cars will be sold exclusively through Gerry Wood Dodge. While Dodge has already sold out of the limited-edition 2017 models, Gerry Wood Dodge put a team together to research and create their own unofficial limited-edition cars. These will be ordered in specific and unique color and option combinations. Dodge offers more than 8,000 colors for the Viper, so picking out a few unused shades couldn't have been too difficult. While these aren't official, it should provide some bragging rights to owners who manage to secure one of the special cars. Despite the exclusivity and hoarding the final few vehicles, Gerry Wood Dodge doesn't plan to add a dealer markup to the car. They claim to never markup cars over MSRP, which seems good for everyone but them. We won't complain. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.
