Panther Pink!

Fresh Restoration!

Up for you consideration is a very nice example of very cool car. This car was born as a slant six, automatic, grocery getter. That has now been taken care of! What we now have is a beautiful panther pink hot rod, ready to make people smile for years to come! Every single piece on the car has either been restored, or replaced with high quality parts. There have also been safety, and reliability items added to make it that much more enjoyable to own, and drive. Factory air conditioning is also present!

To start, the body was completely disassembled and cleaned. The car was, and is, completely 100% rust free. All panels are solid as a rock, and original to the car. The body received very minimal body work to make it straight as an arrow. Once it was ready, it them received a very high quality two stage paint job. Three coats of base, and four coats of clear of high quality DuPont product. After the paint cured, it then receive a nice wet sand and buff, bringing the panther pink to life! Its stunning! The pictures do not do the car justice. We then applied the 340 hood treatment, and the bumble bee stripe around the rear. They really give the car a muscular look. Brand new weatherstrip was installed all around the car.

The interior was next on the list to bring the car up to the highest standard. The interior received all new upholstery top to bottom. New seat upholstery, door panels, rear side panels, carpeting, and headliner. Looks better than new! The dash pad was redone exactly like the original and looks beautiful on the powder coated dash panel. All off the dash bezels were also redone at the same time. To add some muscle to the interior I installed a tuff grip steering wheel, along with the correct horn cap and adaptor. A brand new shifter boot and trim ring was also pit in to wrap around the 340 3 speed chrome shifter. You have to see it to believe it!

To make the car stop and turn as good as it looks, the entire suspension, front to rear, has been rebuilt or replaced! Polyurethane bushings were installed to tighten up the suspension, and really give it a nice ride. All new ball joints, tie rods, idler arm give it a tight steering feel and make it a joy to carve the corners. New shocks were installed all around as well. This was the time to upgrade those weak front drum brakes. The large bolt pattern disc brakes were installed on the front, and the large 10x2.5" rear drums were added to the 8 3/4" heavy duty rear axle with Yukon axles and green bearings. The car stops like a new car. Also installed was the more modern master cylinder, and brand new brake lines. Nothing needs to be done except to drive it!

The 318 under the hood has received some love. A Mopar Performance purple cam was added to give it a nice rumble at idle, and provide some good breathing for the Edelbrock Torker 340 intake, and NOS Carter 600 cfm carb. Hei ignition, one wire alternator, MSD plug wires, Edelbrock valve covers, and much more. No expense was spared with the exhaust system. TTI headers were installed, along with the full TTI exhaust system front to back! The car sounds amazing! Has a very nice rumble to it, but isn't annoyingly loud. The three speed manual transmission shifts nice and smooth with no grinding or any other issues. The flywheel has been resurfaced and a brand new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing were installed. Good to go for years to come! A new fuel tank and sending unit were installed as well.

The exterior received a lot of added attention. Brand new AMD bumpers were installed front and rear. Brand new tail light, and park light lenses were also installed! An original set of hood pins were also added to give it that true muscle car vibe. A brand new vinyl top was installed, and all of the exterior trim was straightened and polished like new. A brand new windshield was also installed. To give the car a bit of a modern look I also put some nice wheels and tires on it. 18x7 on the front, and 18x8 on the rear really give it a nice look.

As you can see, there were no short cuts taken building this beautiful car. It runs, drives, looks, and sounds, AMAZING!!! You will not be disappointed to show this car to your friends. I get thumbs up everywhere I take it. The girls really like the car too. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. There are a lot of things I have forgotten to add I'm sure. I can also provide many other photos on request. Thanks! And happy bidding!

The Hemi deserves to die | Opinion

Thu, Apr 14 2022

Hi. I'm Byron and I love V8s. I want them to stick around for a long, long time. But not all V8s are created equal, and I will not mourn the passing of the modern Hemi. You shouldn't either. While we may agree that its death is untimely, if you ask me, that's only because it came far too late.  Stellantis’ announcement of its new, turbocharged inline-six that is all but guaranteed to kill off the Hemi V8 has led to quite a few half-baked internet takes. The notion being suggested by some, that automotive media were brainwashed into believing the Hemi was in need of replacement, is so far divorced from reality that I openly guffawed at the notion. Journalists have been challenging Chrysler, FCA and now Stellantis for years to deliver better high-performance engines. The response has always been the same: “Why?” Why replace a heavy V8 with a lighter, all-aluminum one? Why repackage powertrains for smaller footprints and better handling vehicles? Why be better when “good enough” sells really, really well? I too mourn the departure of good gasoline-burning engines, but since when was the Hemi one? HereÂ’s a quiz: Name every SRT model with an all-aluminum engine. TimeÂ’s up. If you named any, you failed. They donÂ’t exist. This isnÂ’t GMÂ’s compact, lightweight small-block, nor is it a DOHC Ford Coyote that at least revs high enough to justify its larger footprint. The Hemi is an overweight marketing exercise that happened to be in the right place at the right time. That time was 2003, when Chrysler was still Chrysler — except it was Daimler-Chrysler and the "merger of equals" was doing a bang-up job of bleeding the company's cash reserves dry while doing virtually nothing to address its mounting legacy costs. "That thang got a Hemi?" was emblematic of the whimsical, nostalgia-driven marketing of the colonial half of the "marriage made in heaven." That was 20 years ago. 20 years prior to that, emissions-choked American V8s were circling the drain faster than a soapy five-carat engagement ring in a truck stop sink.

Stellantis not looking for further mergers, including with Renault

Mon, Feb 5 2024

MILAN — Stellantis Chairman John Elkann on Monday denied the carmaker was hatching merger plans, responding to press speculation about a possible French-led tie-up with rival Renault. Elkann said that the Peugeot owner, the world's third largest carmaker by sales, was focused on the execution of its long-term business plan. "There is no plan under consideration regarding merger operations with other manufacturers," said Elkann, who also heads Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that is the largest single shareholder in Stellantis. After abandoning the Russian market, at the time its second largest after France, and reducing the scope of its global cooperation with Nissan, Renault has been seen as a potential M&A target. Speculation intensified after an electric vehicle market slowdown forced it last week to cancel IPO plans for its EV and software unit Ampere. Its market cap remains stubbornly low at little over 10 billion euros ($10.8 billion) despite a financial recovery over the past few years. Stellantis, the product of a 2021 merger between France's PSA and Fiat Chrysler and one of the most profitable groups in the industry, has a market cap of more than 85 billion euros when unlisted shares are factored in. It has a 14 brand portfolio also including Citroen, Jeep, Opel and Alfa Romeo. NEWSPAPER REPORT Italian daily Il Messaggero had said on Sunday that the French government, which is Renault's largest shareholder and also has a stake in Stellantis, was studying plans for a merger between the two groups. A spokeswoman for Renault said on Monday the group did not comment on rumors. France's Finance Ministry had declined to comment on Sunday. Stellantis has crossed swords with the Italian government, which has accused it of acting against the national interest on occasions. Industry Minister Adolfo Urso last week raised the prospect of the Italian government taking a stake in Stellantis to help to balance the French influence. Renault shares pared gains after Elkann's comments to stand 1.2% higher by 1220 GMT, having initially risen more than 4%. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, a Portuguese-national, last week said in an interview with Bloomberg that the group was "ready for any kind of consolidation" and that its job was to make sure that it would be "one of the winners". Analysts, however, question the rationale of a Stellantis-Renault merger, which would also expand the group's excess capacity in Europe.

Amazon opens contest for The Grand Tour tickets in the US

Thu, Jul 7 2016

British enthusiasts already had the opportunity to win tickets to the first taping of The Grand Tour, and now Amazon has opened up a similar chance for customers in the US. In celebration of Prime Day, which starts today, customers in the US can enter The Grand Tour Prime Day Prize Draw. The prize includes travel, $200 to spend, accommodation, and a meet and greet with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Customers that are interested fulfilling a childhood dream should visit Amazon's website and fill out the entry form soon as the draw closes on July 12. The Grand Tour will launch this fall as an exclusive for Amazon Prime members with the exact city locations for studio records set to be revealed later this summer. Amazon, however, did reveal that the trio will host shows in the UK, US, and Germany. So there's no need to get too upset if you don't win the draw. With Top Gear getting a major shakeup with the departure of Chris Evans, we're itching to see Clarkson, Hammond, and May behind the wheel of cars again. The trio, it seems, is also excited to get the new show rolling as Clarkson posted a drifty video on his Facebook page. The trio are currently in Italy filming a comparison between an Aston Martin DB11, a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and Rolls-Royce Dawn. The five-second clip has the Challenger Hellcat and DB11 drifting head-on into the camera crew, which is behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo.
