1974 dodge charger all original body. Original spare tire and jack original 14 
inch rally rims with trim rings.  The engine and trans are not  original the car 
started as a 318 car.  And now has a 440 block and 727  I USED CUSTOM MOTOR 
MOUNTS !!!!  UNCUT ORIGINAL K MEMBER. Meaning converting back 
To small block. Would be very easy to do  but any way the body is absolutely  
Solid as a rock the only rust bubble on the whole car is on the driver side rear 
fender. Above the wheel and is about the size of a dime. And that's it. Same 
with the underside. No rust or rot.  At all.  Clearly the car was never driven 
in the winter or not a NY car. original paint it's a beautiful metallic green. 
That really stands out and looks fantastic it's paint code  G8 the car has a 
very nice white factory pinstripe. Down each side to match the white by all top 
the car also has factory hood pins I did remove the in car hood release and 
factory safety latch but I do still have both of these parts.I also painted the 
Valley pan   And distributer cap the same G8 green as the body. And trimmed the 
edlbrock intake plus mopar performance polished  aluminum valve covers in green 
see pics. looks very very sharp.the  Interior  is beautiful other that 3 small 
issues that Are stated further down. The trunk, floors,  Hood doors, windows are 
all in fantastic condition.Everything works as it should  in the electrical 
department with the exception of the wiper motor but all the lights flashers  
signals. Horn. And instrumentation works the Speedo is not hooked up because of 
having the incorrect nylon gear in the trans but the speedo does work, the car 
has the base model dash with the long rectangular speedo it's also a buckets and 
console car. She goes down the road straight. Front end is very tight no 
wandering at all  due to frequent greasing  front power disks read drums the 
factory power steering was removed to free up some space.  But even with the big 
block it steers easy  White vinyl   top is in fair  shape and  could be replaced 
or could not. The headliner. Could be replaced.  It's some what discolored. And 
has a mouse hole but the hole is hidden by the sun visor the dash pad over all 
is in great shape but it does have 2 small Cracks. This could likely be 
repaired.  And not replaced And 3 small.  Holes in the back seat  I also believe 
these could be repaired with out replacing the cover  each smaller than a 
quarter  the engine is a 72 440 block. Bored 30 over. 4.10 stroke crank. From 
440 source. H beam rods Stock length (.990 pin) JE flat top pistons and rings 
with butterfly valve cuts.  509 mopar purple shaft cam full roller timing set 
915 heads.  With light gasket porting. Auto meter tack and oil pressure gauges.  
800 CFM edlbrock carb with no choke billet steel mains with a stud girdle plate. 
Kit from 440 source (  makes the bottom end stronger reduces flexing  under high 
rpm an heavy loads  ties the mains. To the block )  And all engine fashioners 
are ARP ( main studs , rod end bolts, head bolts, ) 8qt low profile deep sump 
gold milodon oil pan and correct pickup.  And a high flow oil pump. Also a high 
flow aluminum water pump and edlbrock mechanical. Fuel pump good for up to 600 
HP. Under the hood is very very clean looking  all the electric wiring is nicely 
loomed. the fuel lines and vacuum line is done up in a polished simulated steel 
braid with a nice looking polished fuel filter as well as many polished  bolts 
polished water neck polished throttle return spring and bracket. Ceramic coated 
headers pypes 2 1/2 inch x pipe exhaust With race pro mufflers.  Factory 11 inch 
torque converter Custom worked  by  CTI in Nedrow NY the stall is aprox 2500 ( 
matched to cam)  and the internals are all heavy duty .The trans is a reworked 
727 full manual valve body.  (No kickdown linkage ) brand new pressure plates. 
Filter bands adjusted. Completely gone thru and rebuilt by a professional tranny 
shop. 
 The rear end is an 8 1/4.  With 391 gears and a mopar sure grip I think It 
would be a good idea to put a 8 3/4 in or a Dana but not required.  And if the 
buyer would like I have a 8 3/4 out I a truck that I will include. 3.23 open 
diff (  same as B body other than you would   need to move the spring perches 
and no pinion snubber )  And their is somthing in the engine I can't put my 
finger on it the car runs ok Just has an odd sound to it. That I haven't been 
able to fully understand. So I will give you the absolute worst case. but it 
could be a much simpler problem. I believe it needs Bearings  in the lower end 
but I'm not positive. As the  Oil pressure is great at 50-70 psi I always ran 
brad penn penn grade  the engine was never driven hard or driven much at all to 
be hones. Just to the Syracuse nationals last year a little around the show and 
back home. So maybe a total of 50 miles but keeping with I give you worst case 
info  but it may not be that bad  I will say the engine should be pulled  
disassembled and rebuilt. Maybe a more skilled and experienced mechanic. Could 
provide a better understanding of what the issue is and how to properly fix the  
problem  but I will in NO WAY MISLEAD ANY POTENTIAL BUYER. AS TO WHAT EXACTLY 
THEY ARE LOOKING AT WITH THIS CAR  good or bad.  You will know everything I know 
even if it may hurt  me as a seller.  At the end of the day my word is far more 
valuable.  As stated all the components of the engine are brand new. Like less 
than 100 miles brand new. They are also top on the line parts Something like 
4200 was spent just in engine parts alone  and that doesn't include  machining 
costs ( line honed, bored .30 over , and deck truing) Also included is a second 
cam shaft and lifter set from comp  around 570 lift I have the grind sheet  just 
not right in front of my as I'm typing this posting to know the exact specs I 
also installed 600 lift double spring valve springs  the car has an electric 
puller fan. Original mopar big block radiator  and a custom double cooler tranny 
cooling set up that is very nice   My asking price and willingness to negotiate 
price. Is reflective of the engine issues. I know people. Are generally 
unwilling to pay top dolor. For something that needs work. But I also know that 
this car with a nicely running big block would bring   15k or more  so I'm not 
going to just give it away either. For me I just lost interest In cars  I don't 
have the time to tinker like I used to and  always spread my self thin plus I  
never have the time the car deserves so it's time for her to go and give some 
one else the chance to enjoy this wonderful carIt really is a great deal for any 
mopar or muscle car lover if you have any questions,would like more  more 
pictures or a specific picture  feel free to ask but I would encourage any 
potential buyer to just come look if you're able to  Pictures do not do the car 
justice Ps the title is clean. I own the car no

Macron and Le Pen decry 'shocking' Stellantis CEO pay

Mon, Apr 18 2022

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron and his far-right challenger in the French presidential vote, Marine Le Pen, on Friday both decried as “shocking” the multimillion euro payout to the CEO of carmaker Stellantis. Stellantis CEO Carlos TavaresÂ’ remuneration package of 19.15 million euros just a year after the company was formed became an issue as Macron and Le Pen campaigned ahead of the April 24 runoff vote. Polls show purchasing power and inflation are a top voter concern. Stellantis was formed last year through the merger of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Centrist President Emmanuel Macron, perceived by many voters as being too pro-business, called the pay package “astronomical” and pushed for a Europe-wide effort to set ceilings on “abusive” executive pay. “ItÂ’s shocking, itÂ’s excessive,” he said Friday on broadcaster France-Info. “People canÂ’t have problems with purchasing power, difficulties, the anguish theyÂ’re living with, and see these sums. Otherwise, society will explode.” Far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who enjoys support from many working-class voters, called for bringing in more workers as shareholders. “Of course itÂ’s shocking, and itÂ’s even more shocking when it is the CEOs who have pushed their society into difficulty,” she said Friday on BFM television. “One of the ways to diminish this pay, which is often out of proportion with economic life, is perhaps to allow workers in as shareholders.” Stellantis continued to back the package despite a 52.1% to 47.9% vote rejecting it at an annual shareholders' meeting chaired from the Netherlands, where the company is legally based, on Wednesday. The company, citing Dutch civil code, noted that the vote is advisory and not binding. The company later said in a statement that it took note of the vote, and will explain in an upcoming 2022 remuneration report “how this vote has been taken into account.” In the 2021 report, the company identified peer group companies that it used as a salary benchmark, including U.S. companies like Boeing, Exxon Mobile, General Electric as well as carmakers Ford and General Motors. Stellantis, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Jeep, Opel and Maserati, reported net profits last year had tripled to 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion). The French government is the third-largest shareholder in Stellantis, with a 6.15% stake through the Bpifrance Participations S.A. French public investment bank.

Chrysler recalls 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers

Sun, Feb 7 2016

The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Air Bag Control Unit Power Supply Corrosion Report Receipt Date: JAN 29, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V047000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 112,001 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: FCA US LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured December 31, 2007, to August 31, 2008, 2008-2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured June 18, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and 2009 Volkswagen Routan vehicles manufactured August 11, 2008, to August 31, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
