Here's the deal. This is a 1970 Dodge Challenger that I have been in the process of restoring for about 3 years. It started out life as a 1970 Dodge Challenger Deputy, 6 cyl 3 speed on the floor w/console, plum crazy purple with black interior. I found this car in a friend's field and started the restoration process. It would be better to list what I've done in order probably:
Body:
I replaced the trunk floor and frame rails with very nice originals from a 1972 Dodge Challenger. There is a seam in front of the shock mounts because a 72 and 70 have different access holes.
The quarter panels have been replaced with new metal from AMD Direct, spot welded in place.
The driver's side door skin was installed though I did make a couple mistakes and some smoothing needs to be done. It looks nice, but not show-quality and there is one warp that can be fixed.
I have the passenger side door skin and it goes with the car.
The floor was in great shape - which is why I bought the car - but there was rust in the tranny tunnel area which was boxed.
The entire interior, trunk and undercarriage of the car was blasted and Rhino lined.
The passenger fender is nice, but for some reason the headlight bucket isn't on it. I have both the original fenders and they go with the car and this should be very easy to tack on.
The driver's fender was supposedly repaired by a body man though the body line toward the front isn't great. Again, these would be pretty nice driver quality fenders but not show quality. They do sell repop fenders though, I just didn't invest in a set.
The engine bay was cleaned up and painted with 1 coat epoxy primer, a coat of primer/filler, and three coats of 2004 Viper yellow.
I have a brand new R/T hood from AMD that goes with the car (beautiful)
I have a brand new decklid with spoiler holes that goes with the car (beautiful)
A brand new rear valance (R/T) with exhaust cutouts from AMD is installed.
The front valance is the VERY NICE factory valance.
Interior:
The interior of this car was actually pretty decent though I was missing the front seats. Both door panels were very VERY nice with very little chalk. The quarter glass panels were a little chalky but again in decent shape. The kick panels are perfect. The dash pad of course was shot but I have a brand new dash pad for the car. The guages are nice and white (very beautiful shape) as is the buttons on the dash, but it is a NON-RALLEY DASH. The radio is missing unfortunately.
I have a driver's seat (green, decent seat tracks) but do not have the passenger, and I do have the back seat.
Suspension:
I dropped the 8 1/4 rear end and found a 8 3/4 from a 1972 'Cuda. The housing was powder coated and rebuilt with a 3:23 posi by KNG Body Shop in Wilber, NE. VERY TIGHT, BRAND NEW. I hung the rear end with Mopar Performance leaf springs and shackles.
The K-Frame, being a 6 cyl car, had to be replaced and again was replaced with a '72 'Cuda part. It was blasted and powder coated, as were a set of R/T tortion bars.
New suspension with poly bushings was installed, along with a set of factory 11" disc brakes off of a hemi Challenger. The discs have been turned, everything painted/powder coated looks beautiful.
Engine/Transmission:
I found a rebuilt EGR 318 and have bolted it to an OD 4-speed. Yes, not the best combo but it was enough to get it on the road and with the lower first gear and higher 4th it would have had some power plus fuel mileage. Remember, this car was built with the eventual goal of dropping a hemi in it - the suspension was built for it - but with the economy the way it was I opted for a cheaper combination off the bat.
Missing parts/issues:
Passenger seat is missing.
Obviously needs a headliner and carpet.
If you want a show car, you probably want to replace or get the front fenders professionally repaired. Honestly, what's good enough for me might not be good enough for you.
I don't have a driveshaft that will bolt to the 8 3/4, I just have the factory one.
I have all the clutch parts, but not the bushings etc that will be needed to install the clutch linkage.
The driver's side door handle I have but is broken.
All in all this is a very nice project to keep working on and it really could be on the road without a whole lot of work. I am trying to be very honest and really don't want to sell the car, it's just that personal problems came up and it's necessary. If you have any questions please call Brandon at 402-580-2222. The best time to reach me is after 5:30 on a weekday or the weekend, but if you call and miss me I will try to get back with you. I can e-mail or text additional pictures as needed.
Please local pickup, and if you are not a serious bidder I really don't want to deal with that. I will work out possible arrangements to meet you somewhere to deliver the car, but payment must have already been received - I'm not wasting my fuel.

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020
Mon, Aug 31 2015We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

2020 Dodge Journey loses trims and colors, adds equipment
Sun, Sep 8 2019Update: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that all-wheel-drive was available on the Journey. It has been discontinued for the 2020 model year. The text has been changed to reflect this. The 2020 Dodge Journey sticks with the formula that's served it for its entire 11-year lifespan so far, which is to say nothing more than incremental changes will usher in the new year. The lineup shrinks by half, the SE and GT trims going away, leaving the SE Value and Crossroad trims. The end of the Journey GT means the end of the 283-horsepower, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 for the Journey, the two remaining models powered by the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque shifting through a four-speed automatic. The SE Value sits on 17-inch steelies with wheel covers, the Crossroad rides on 19-inchers, and both models turn the front wheels only; the option of all-wheel drive has left the building. Both trims add new standard equipment, Rear Park Assist included on both, the Crossroad acquiring a sunroof. The color wheel for exterior hues loses two options, Destroyer Grey and Verde Oliva, leaving seven choices. The SE Value interior retains its choice of black or tan cloth, the Crossroads sticks with black only. SE Value and Crossroad will offer an option called the Popular Entertainment Group that installs different equipment depending on trim. For the SE Value, that will add a power driver seat, premium cloth seating, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, tri-zone temperature control, Uconnect Voice Command with Bluetooth, a 12-month subscription to SiriusXM Radio, interior observation mirror, and security alarm. On the Crossroad, the same package means navigation, heated front seats and steering wheel, six premium speakers and subwoofer, remote start, a universal garage door opener. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but with the 11-year-old Journey selling itself as a value proposition — it's right there in the name — we don't expect much change from the $24,740 price of the 2019 SE Value.
