 70 Challenger, it has a refreshed low mileage 1965 413 engine.  New bearings, rings, swapped on 906 heads to lower the compression, head gaskets, high volume oil/water pumps.  Fresh pro built 727, kevlar bands, red alto clutches, cheetah full manual valve body.  Both engine/trans have under 150 miles.  Has a factory high stall converter from a roadrunner, 10".  The engine was factory rated at 360 horsepower, 470 torque, but now has a larger split duration cam, headers, new edelbrock 750 carb, aluminum single plane intake, hei style stand alone electronic distributor.  It revs like a 383 but has the torque of a 440. 

3" summit exhaust system with mufflers.  New gas tank, original good working 3/8 sending unit.  New carter fuel pump, mechanical.  New door/window/trunk seals.  Champion radiator and clutch style cooling fan.  Driveshaft(balanced before being installed)has the larger 7290 u-joint, 8-3/4 rear.  Swapped to later slide type front disc brakes, slotted front rotors, 11" drums in the rear.  All new/rebuilt brake parts, wheel cylinders and hardware.  Front suspension is all rebuilt, bushings, tie rods etc.  All has been painted with por 15 including rear housing.  Has welded in 2x3 frame connectors, they do come up through the floor behind the seats which is covered by the carpet. 

Bucket seats with new covers, new headliner, carpet and so on.  Pioneer cd player with aux input.  Does have a dash cap, not glued on, I had planned to send the pad out to have it redone, but looks ok as is.  After market gauges except it has the original speedometer and the original mileage is 40,9xx.  No heater box in the car, it is a factory ac car, but no parts remaining in the car from ac except firewall openings are covered, not welded/bolted, so easily removed.  Has the factory tinted glass that came in ac cars.  Window cranks not on in pic, but will be installed.  Hurst unimatic shifter in the floor, cable operated.

It sat for many years and became someones parts car.  Originally triple green.  Now black with matte black T/A stripes and hood.  It did have the lower quarters, trunk floor and partial front floor pans replaced.  Had some work around the window openings from the vtop holding moisture, deck filler/dutchman.  Valances front and rear are new goodmark pieces.  Fenders and doors and hood all were replaced and nice solid original parts.  Hood is steel with a bonded ta style scoop, used 50 dollar a tube fibertech fiberglass to smooth out.  The car was on a rotiserrie, underside blasted, por-15 painted then topped with rock it bed liner, looks like undercoating, but much easier to keep clean!  Has dupont base/clear, same black paint as a buick grand national.

Tried to list all the flaws.  I don't want to leave things out, may sound like it needs a lot, but it's a nice driver you can take to local shows and be proud of, yet not too nice you'd be afraid to drive it.  Why buy a project car that the paint and body work will cost more than one you can hop in and drive! 

Wheels are 15x7 cop style with new white letter cooper cobra tires, 235/60 and 255/60s.  Trim and bumpers were painted black, bumpers were made to look like factory rubber bumpers, but have the bolts showing so it would be easy to replace with chrome if wanted.  And trim that's blacked out can be bought new.  It's certainly no show car, I built it to drive and enjoy.  Trunk is bedlined so I wouldn't have to worry about scratching it if I wanted to use it to haul anything.  It could use some detail work or things changed to meet your tastes, like the trim is painted black on the hood/trunk areas.  Being an original 318 car, you can drive and enjoy it like these cars were made to do. 

Title in hand, I've owned the car since 06 and complete last March, it is PA inspected and I drive it 4-5 times a week locally.  I have not driven it further than 20 miles on any drive, so not sure I'd want to drive it cross country yet.  Immediate paypal deposit if you use the buy it now.  I will accept cash or cashier check, car/title will not leave my possession until the money has cleared to my account... cash at pickup would be ideal. 

Additional pics to show when it was painted before assembly.  Also one pic with a set of 17x7 and 20x8 us mag wheels, buyer can opt to get the car with the cop wheels or the us mag wheels, but only 1 set included on the car.

Lots of new parts, the car was completely disassembled to a shell while restoring it.  Inside the frame was coated with por-15 where accessible.  Inside of the quarters also.  I built the car to last.

I don't need to sell the car, so I won't give it away... but at 6'5", I find b-bodies more comfortable, so if I sell it, I will paint my 68 sport satellite and use it for my summer cruiser.  I also enjoy building them more than driving them.  I would consider partial trades, 68-70 b-bodies would be at the top of the list, but not valued over 10k, prefer a 70 roadrunner project.  Would consider other projects.   Possibly a wrecked 08 and up challenger srt/rt. Maybe even a built ls1 trans am.  Not really interested in imports.  Possibly take an R1, CBR1000 or 1 liter bike on trade towards it also... Never hurts to ask, but not looking for just anything and nothing over over 10k.

Was made an offer I agreed to and buyer found another car he wanted instead... so the car is being relisted.  This is the last time I will run the ad.  The price is firm at 16500, not accepting offers, this is my bottom dollar.  If you use the buy it now option, you will have to pay $500 immediately and this is non refundable!  So be 100% sure you are going to buy the car. 

Also I live about 2.5 hours from Carlisle.  Chrysler at Carlisle is next month and I would have no problem keeping the car here until then.  Fly in, drive it to Carlisle and drive it home.  I can also assist in shipping if needed.  There is an airport 10 mins from my house and a train station 5 mins away.

Hypermiling a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel to 38.1 mpg

Fri, May 9 2014

You never quite know what Wayne Gerdes has up his sleeve. The man who coined the term hypermiling is always looking for adventurous ways to prove that anyone – even you... yes, you – can eke out more miles per gallon just by changing the way you drive. Saying that is easy. Proving it by going on outlandish cross-country drives is hard. But for Gerdes and his team of fuel economy fiends over at CleanMPG, hard is half the fun. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. Which is why we always answer the phone when Gerdes calls. He likes to take journalists along on his drives, not only to try teach us how to hypermile but also to prove that we can be taught. The first time I 'helped' him and his team was when we got over 30 miles per gallon in a 2011 Ford F-150 XLT with the EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6. The EPA rated that truck with at just 16 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. So, we'll count that trip as a success. Next up was a cross-country drive last fall in a trio of Audi TDI vehicles to prove that you don't need to drive extra slow to beat the EPA numbers. In fact, we made it from Los Angeles to New York City in just over 46 hours, cramped but not cranky. We had once again proven that how you drive is hugely important to your fuel usage. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. The EPA says that the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel we would be driving gets just 22 combined mpg (19 city and 27 highway). Gerdes' idea was to drive it as far north from Houston, TX towards Detroit, MI as we could go on one tank. The day before we left, our itinerary got an extra stop. Instead of taking one of the official Shell Eco-marathon prototype vehicles to Detroit, it was decided to bring the winning diesel-powered prototype from the just-finished event to The Henry Ford Museum, where it had been arranged the car would be displayed. The winning car was built by a small team (just four students) from Sullivan High School in Sullivan, IN, who managed to beat a number of college teams with a score of 1,899.32 mpg. That target would be a bit out of reach for the Ram, but could we get 1,000 miles from the tank? Since the truck has a 26 gallon tank (officially, anyway), that would mean the EPA says we could only go 702 miles, assuming all highway driving. Could we make up 300 miles with careful driving? That spells both challenge and fun.

Stellantis moves to set up its own lending unit

Sat, Sep 4 2021

Stellantis is buying Houston-based auto lender First Investors Financial Services Group to set up its own finance arm in the U.S., a move that should support sales and eventually boost profit. The only major traditional automaker in the U.S. without its own finance company agreed to pay $285 million to a group of investors led by Gallatin Point Capital and Jacobs Asset Management, according to a statement. The transaction is expected to close by year-end. Stellantis was formed via the merger between Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group early this year. Carlos Tavares, the PSA boss who became the combined company’s chief executive officer, called the deal to acquire First Investors a milestone that will increase earnings and enhance customer loyalty. “Direct ownership of a finance company in the U.S. is a white-space opportunity which will allow Stellantis to provide our customers and dealers a complete range of financing options,” Tavares said Wednesday in the statement.  Having an in-house finance company has helped rivals General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. pad profits, especially during the global semiconductor shortage that has limited production and crimped sales. GM bought subprime lender AmeriCredit Corp. in 2010 and renamed it GM Financial. The operation generated a $2.76 billion profit in the first half -- roughly a third of the companyÂ’s adjusted earnings before interest and taxes. Trouble for Santander? The First Investors acquisition could spell trouble for Chrysler Capital, the operation that Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. and Chrysler set up in 2013 before the U.S. automaker completed its merger with Fiat. In a statement, Santander Consumer said itÂ’s committed to supporting Stellantis through the term of their existing agreement and its transition. Santander Consumer will also have “ongoing conversations with Stellantis about long-term mutually beneficial opportunities beyond 2023,” the company said, adding that its consumer business remains strong and has “delivered solid results for our shareholders.” This, along with support from its parent company, will allow the lender to “pursue additional opportunities as they arise.” The lenderÂ’s U.S.-listed stock fell 1.5% in New York trading Wednesday after Bloomberg reported Stellantis was preparing to announce a new finance partner. Stellantis shares rose as much as 1.3% in Paris trading Thursday.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...
