     This Challenger is a project that I started about 10 years ago.  I replaced the quarter panels, sandblasted all the surface rust from the floors, wheel wells, and trunk.  The engine bay is repainted as well as the floors, door jams and trunk floor.  The work is quality and this will be a very nice car for whomever finishes it.  The engine is a 383 out of a 69 Chrysler Newport.  It has been bored/honed to fit new KB Hyperutectic pistons with 9.5:1 compression.  The 906 heads have hardened seats and are fully machined including a fresh valve job.  It has a mild cam and an Edelbrock 4 barrel intake.  The engine was built by a local racer and professional engine builder.  The interior is in the process of being done, all new coverings from Legendary.  All of the seat frames were sandblasted before being reassembled.  I started this car in college, moved out of state for a job, and the car sat in my Dad's garage.  It has been there for about 8 years.  Two years ago I moved back home and started working on the car again.  I started working on the body and that is when I got the paint and supplies, over $1,200 for the paint products alone.  The paint is FE5 Rally Red from Sherwin Williams automotive.  It is top of the line paint, Ultra 7000, this is the high line for Sherwin Williams and from my experience a very nice quality paint.  I have painted several projects with this paint and always appreciated its quality.  The body work that has been done is professional level and this will be an easy car to finish.  It is very dusty from sitting, but the paint work is very nice.  

    
    The car was originally a frost green metallic with dark green interior, but I thought red would look a little better.  In 1974 the Rally option was available on all models of Challenger and this car has the Rally package.  It was originally a 318 car and I have the numbers matching engine that will go with it if needed.  It has the power bulge Rally hood, Rally gauges with 7,000 rpm tach, Slap Stick automatic with console.  I have done a tremendous amount of work on this car and I would say that it is 70% done, but it would need a paint job and to be put back together.  All of the interior is purchased and comes with the car including a new headliner, all new Legendary seat covers, beautiful door panels, and everything else that is needed to complete the car.      
    The reserve is set low as I need to sell this car.  I just purchased another car and I am out of room and money.  Recently when I took the pictures, I replaced the gas, changed the cars oil, and got it running.  It has a lifter that is tapping, but I suspect this will go away as the car is driven a bit.  I have only driven it from my Mom's garage to my Dad's storage garage and there it has sat for the last 8 years or so.  It has a total of 2.5 miles on the new engine and freshened transmission.  It has a clean title and is ready for sale.  $500 deposit required within 48 hours and the balance on pick up.  Shipping within a reasonable distance may be possible, please ask and we will see what we can work out.  I have a box of receipts and pictures of the work that was done.  I have spent well over the reserve price in parts alone!  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  My cell is 702-371-2302, Jeremy.  I would consider a 1968-70 Road Runner or GTX project as a potential trade.  This will make a great car for some lucky person!

FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger

Wed, Dec 18 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.

Stellantis invests more than $100 million in California lithium project

Thu, Aug 17 2023

Stellantis said it would invest more than $100 million in California's Controlled Thermal Resources, its latest bet on the direct lithium extraction (DLE) sector amid the global hunt for new sources of the electric vehicle battery metal. The investment by the Chrysler and Jeep parent announced on Thursday comes as the green energy transition and U.S. Inflation Reduction Act have fueled concerns that supplies of lithium and other materials may fall short of strong demand forecasts. DLE technologies vary, but each aims to mechanically filter lithium from salty brine deposits and thus avoid the need for open pit mines or large evaporation ponds, the two most common but environmentally challenging ways to extract the battery metal. Stellantis, which has said half of its fleet will be electric by 2030, also agreed to nearly triple the amount of lithium it will buy from Controlled Thermal, boosting a previous order to 65,000 metric tons annually for at least 10 years, starting in 2027. "This is a significant investment and goes a long way toward developing this key project," Controlled Thermal CEO Rod Colwell said in an interview. The company plans to spend more than $1 billion to separate lithium from superhot geothermal brines extracted from beneath California's Salton Sea after flashing steam off those brines to spin turbines that will produce electricity starting next year. That renewable power is expected to cut the amount of carbon emitted during lithium production. Rival Berkshire Hathaway has struggled to produce lithium from the same area given large concentrations of silica in the brine that can form glass when cooled, clogging pipes. Colwell said a $65 million facility recently installed by Controlled Thermal can remove that silica and other unwanted metals. DLE equipment licensed from Koch Industries would then remove the lithium. "We're very happy with the equipment," he said. "We're going to deliver. There's just no doubt about it." Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares called the Controlled Thermal partnership "an important step in our care for our customers and our planet as we work to provide clean, safe and affordable mobility." Both companies declined to provide the specific investment amount. Controlled Thermal aims to obtain final permits by October and start construction of a commercial lithium plant soon thereafter, Colwell said. Goldman Sachs is leading the search for additional debt and equity financing, he added.

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns

Wed, May 4 2016

These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
