This is a completely restored 1965 Dodge Dart Charger with only 480 being badged as Dart Chargers it is extremely
rare. There is only a hand full known to still exist. It has just 8 weeks been completed and has less than 1000
mile on the engine. I have tried to return this car back to its original condition as much as I could.
Drivetrain: Engine and transmission are the original ones. Rear end is not. I think it is from a late 60's Dart
or Plymouth A body but not sure. It has a 355 gear with Positive traction. It has all new bearings and brakes. The
engine has been totally rebuilt with .030 oversize pistons 9.8 compression ratio. ( original ones were 10.5 to 1)
The engine still has the break-in oil in it. Cylinder heads have hardened valve seats for use with unleaded gas
and have been completely rebuilt. Transmission has new synchronizers and bearings. It has a new clutch and
pressure plate. It had been converted to duel exhaust when I bought it and I returned it back to the original
single exhaust from Accurate Exhaust at a cost of $800. I repaired the original resonator which was supplied with
the car when I purchased it. Suspension: All new shocks. Complete frond end rebuild. All suspension parts bead
blasted and painted. The underside of the car looks as good as the top. Body: Sheet metal was in very good
condition except around the windshield. The rusted parts were cut out and new metal welded in to make the repair.
New windshield and rubber were installed. Driver and passenger floor pans were replaced. 1 small patch behind the
rear wheel opening was repaired. All other sheet metal is original. Vinyl top was replaced by the previous owner
before I purchased it. Not sure how old it is but looks new. The body had a few small dents but no other rust. Front and rear bumpers have
been rechromed. Taillight bezels rechromed. Interior: The dash pad has been recovered. It had a small crack
near the middle. The instrument cluster and all 4 trim pieces have been rechromed and detailed and looks awesome.
Door panels, Front seats and carpet are all new. The headliner, back seat and package tray are original. Arm rest
bases have been rechromed. Side and rear glass is original and in great shape. 4 speed shifter plate has been
rechromed and detailed. Shifter is original. Wheels: 14" X 6" Cragar SS. This car came from the factory with 13"
Cragar SS wheels which are unattainable at this point. Tires are like new.
All weather stripping has been replaced. It took me about 16 months to do the restoration.

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.

Dodge could return to NASCAR, Marchionne says

Mon, Dec 5 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne said he'd "love to" bring Dodge back to NASCAR. The news could signal a potential shift in America's favorite motorsport away from today's three-manufacturer arrangement, but we're wondering just how much sense Dodge's return would make amid NASCAR's dwindling television ratings and attendance figures. It took a visit from Ferrari at NASCAR's biggest icon, Daytona International Speedway, for the Ferrari Challenge World Finals to get Marchionne on the subject of Dodge and stock car racing. When asked about the possibility on Sunday, the FCA boss revealed he'd just spoken to NASCAR executive vice president Jim France the night before about Dodge's return. Dodge announced its NASCAR departure in 2009, as it was in the grips of a major bankruptcy alongside cross-town rival General Motors. While GM's Chevrolet brand stuck it out and won three of the last four manufacturer championships, the final Mopar-powered team flipped to Ford in 2012. Marchionne takes the blame for the decision, citing reasons that are, frankly, very good. "I am the guilty party at the table. In 2009 we came out of bankruptcy; we couldn't [justify] racing in NASCAR when I was trying to pay bills and make payroll," Marchionne said, according to Autoweek. "I think we're in a different place now." NASCAR is in a different place, too. The sport has struggled with disappointing television ratings in the past several years, and it's not uncommon to tune into races at some of the sport's marquee tracks, like Bristol Motor Speedway, and see scores of empty seats. Sponsorship dollars are also drying up. That could explain Marchionne's non-committal follow-up comments. "We need to find the right way to come back in," Marchionne said, adding that he'd revisit the idea with Jim France and International Speedway Corporation CEO and NASCAR board member Lesa France Kennedy "in short order."
