Location:
Dundas, Ontario, Canada
|
This car was originally from the USA and was imported into Canada 16 years ago. It is located in Dundas, ON which is just outside Hamilton in storage. Viewing can be arranged. I purchased it off the previous owner who had it for 16 years and drove it every year except winter. I was going to customize it, but found something already done, so im going to put it up for sale. The Good:It runs, drives and stops. I had it at about 60-70mph on the highway for about an hour. I have drove it around town as well. I have drove maybe 3 or 400 miles in the car. The radiator and carburetor have been professionally rebuilt right after i got it. The brakes work as they will lock the wheels if you hit them hard enough, I do have 6 new wheel cylinders to go with the car as i was going to change to a dual master set up. The interior was done at some point. Its in very good condition. Original tube radio still works, wipers are new and work (no washer though), horn works. All glass is there and not cracked, windows roll up and down. Body is solid from the grass line up no rust. No rust on the doors. Original headliner still in car and intact. Starts right up, first time cold no problems. I have the original factory service repair manual and parts catalogue with all the parts numbers, and a owners manual. Cigarette lighter still works. Push button transmission functions great in all gears. Original generator works fine. Oil pressure is good. The oil pressure and amp meter both work fine. Has Power steering, but manual drum brakes. Heater works. Headlights, signal lights and tail and brake lights all work. All body parts needed are available. Classic 2 Current has the floors and all panels needed, also here on ebay. This is a good place to start on your restoration. Something you can drive while you work. The Bad: The floors, trunk and rockers were done before i bought it from previous owner. He drove it for 16 years, but they were done right. He described it as a wrap around job. So while you can drive this car as it sits, they need to be done again. Oil leak from valve covers, but have new valve cover gaskets in the trunk. Also speedometer and odometer dont work, I have new speedo in the trunk. The odometer reads 85000 and change and previous owner estimated current mileage at around 88000. The fuel gauge doesnt work, new owner had new fuel tank installed so not sure if sending unit in there or not. I did noticed if i fill it right up it will leak, it appears to come from where filler neck meets tank, so im guessing no seal was used in there.Temperature guage also doesnt work, I put in new thermostat and housing. But thats as far as i got there. There is some rust on the inside of the trunk lip, not on the trunk itself but just the lower substructure. The lower quarters, rockers, lower fender by the door all have bondo, as well the the top of the fenders by the headlights. Missing passenger side sun visor. Exhaust is aftermarket cherry bomb that wasnt routed correctly in my opinion, but leaks as well so needs to be redone. May be a leak from the manifold, but not sure. It will smoke after it gets warm, so may be from valve cover leak. Also paid a friend to change the oil and filter, and he complained about how hard it was to get the gaskets right (old style canister). So now when it runs there appears to be a slight leak from there. It didnt leak before he changed oil, so im guessing he botched the gaskets. When i got the car, the keys didnt work in any of the locks. I shot WD40 in them all, now they all work fine except drivers door. Will sell to USA and Canada only. Please only serious bidders, as this costs over a 125 dollars to list. Only bidders with over 10 feedback. I will cancel others unless you contact me first. I will assist in shipping if I can and can help load it, but shipping is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. 500 Deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. If buy it now is used, 500 deposit is due immediately. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. I may have missed something, or if i haven't covered something you want to know i can surely find out if i can. Ive tried to be as honest on here as i can. As I hate surprises. Of course selling as is, where is with no warranty. Ive seen this listed in a few auctions so i will repeat it, its bid to win, not to view it. Thank you for your time. Best of luck. |

Driving the Jeep J6, Shakedown Challenger and other Mopar concepts
Wed, Sep 11 2019Mopar has been a one-stop-shop for factory-backed performance modifications and accessories on FCA products for a long time now. You want a 707-horsepower engine for your old Plymouth Belvedere? Mopar has you covered with the Hellcrate. Maybe you want a lift and off-roading lights on that newly-bought Wrangler? Mopar can accommodate those wants (or needs, we don’t judge) as well. We get to see some of the companyÂ’s weirdest creations every now and then, but rarely do we get the opportunity to drive the FCA Mopar concepts. ThatÂ’s what made this past Woodward Dream Cruise so special: We got to rip some of MoparÂ’s finest and most recent creations up and down Woodward Avenue. Everything from a 1971 Challenger restomod to the brand-new Easter Jeep Safari J6 concept was in attendance, so letÂ’s get right to it. Mopar Woodward View 6 Photos 1967 Plymouth Hellvedere This car is near the pinnacle of what you can do with off-the-shelf Mopar purchases. It was only a humble 1967 Plymouth Belvedere before Mopar dropped the 707-horsepower supercharged V8 from the Hellcat into the engine bay. Sound ridiculous? Yeah, it is. Other parts of it are new as well, including the disc brakes. Good call. However, Mopar didnÂ’t remove the classic car charm from the entire driving experience. The steering, for example, is surely as slow and inaccurate as it was back in 1967. That doesnÂ’t help matters when youÂ’re trying to put 707 horsepower to the pavement with less-than-ideal rear rubber. Floor it in damn near any gear of the Tremec six-speed, and the front end rises straight up as the rear kicks sideways with the force of many mules. There are no electronics such as traction control or stability control to step in and wrangle the car into submission. But hey, who wants them, anyway? The question remains: Should you buy a Hellcrate engine for your classic? If money were no object, the easy answer is yes. Have at it so long as you love smoky burnouts and excessive amounts of horsepower. Just make sure you know how to deal with that much power before you stick your right foot in it.  Dodge Challenger Shakedown View 15 Photos 2016 Dodge Shakedown Challenger Concept WeÂ’re going downhill in horsepower with this restomod, but the drivability and ease of driving goes way up. Dodge showed this “Shakedown” concept at SEMA awhile back, and as with most concept cars, getting a chance behind the wheel is a special opportunity.
This Dodge Challenger was stolen, used in police chases and recovered all in the week before its SEMA debut
Wed, Nov 6 2019Most of the drama in a SEMA build is in getting the car ready in time for the big show. That was all Quintin Bros Auto and Performance was expecting when they built a supercharged Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with custom carbon fiber body parts, aftermarket wheels and upgraded brakes. But unfortunately, a bigger drama happened in the week leading up to the show. And it was the worst kind. As part owner Pete Quintin told us, the car was shipped out in a small trailer, and while the delivery driver was spending the Monday night a week before the show at a hotel, a thief showed up in a stolen pickup and made off with the trailer and the car. It wasn't an easy task, either, as the delivery driver had parked the trailer in with the truck blocking it. The thief used his own (well, not his own, but you know what we mean) truck to shove the trailer hitch out where he could access it, then hooked it up and took off. Several miles down the road, he parked, opened up the trailer and vanished in the Challenger. The following morning, the delivery driver discovered the theft, and Quintin Bros immediately informed the owner so that a police report could be filed and a search could begin. The trailer was found not too long after, thanks to someone who was following the story on social media. But obviously the car was missing. Folks on social media were also helpful in tracking the car, in addition to the help of the Las Vegas Police Department (LVPD). What followed was a week of chasing the car down. Twice the car was found in parking garages, Quintin said, and both discoveries resulted in police chases. The second chase was the most dramatic, with a police officer stopping after noticing the car. The thief was in it, and he bolted upon seeing the officer. He powered the Challenger right through the nose of the police car, damaging both. The chase culminated on the highway, where Quintin told us 14 cars were in pursuit, and the thief got up to 150 mph. Police ended up calling off the chase because of the danger. But the car was damaged enough that the thief eventually abandoned it at one last garage, where it was picked up on Thursday. Once the car was recovered, things gradually began looking up for the Quintin family. Pete Quintin said that as soon as LVPD found out the Challenger was meant to go to SEMA, the department got the car out of evidence impound as fast as it could so the shop could show off the beat-up car.
2016 Dodge Viper ACR racks up lap records
Thu, Nov 5 2015With 645 horsepower and an adjustable spoiler nearly six feet wide, the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR would look at home on the runways of most any airport, air base, or aircraft carrier in the world. But it's not built for the runway. It's built for the race track. And it has positively mastered them one after another. In fact, the new Viper ACR has not only beat the lap times of its own predecessor as it set out to, but took the production-car lap record at 13 tracks across the country. The endeavor started out at the Inde Motorsport Ranch in Arizona, where development engineer Chris "The Wolf" Winkler set a lap time of 1:33.75 on the Configuration 4 track to beat every other street-legal vehicle to ever lap the circuit. Then it was off to Buttonwillow, the MotorSport Ranch (in Cresson, TX), Big Willow, VIR, Grattan, Pittsburg, GingerMan, the Motown Mile, Nelson Ledges, Waterford Hills, and Road Atlanta. And with the new American Club Racer, Dodge took the lap record at each and every one. The journey culminated just days ago at Laguna Seca, where track expert Randy Pobst climbed into the Viper ACR and set a lap time of 1:28.65. That's 5.27 seconds faster than the previous ACR's time, and 1.24 seconds faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder that held the record until now. The sum total is a bragging-rights sheet of lap records set at 13 tracks across these United States. And you don't have to take Dodge's word on that. The records have been certified by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), cementing the ACR's place in the record books. Nice work if you can get it, and you can scope it out in the video above and press release below.
