Up for sale is my 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger. This is a low mileage (approximately 35,000), NEVER rusty survivor with one repaint. It was originally a 318/904/7.25 car. I bought it 100% stock. This is now a very fast street/strip car with an original style appearance. The weatherstripping is good, the doors don't sag, windows go up and down, etc. Paint is nice, shiny, not cracked. Not Barrett Jackson, but a LOT better than Maaco. Reserve price is lower than the cost of the parts!

The engine is a 5.9 Magnum disguised to look like an LA 360, 904 with transbrake, A body 8.75 rear end, Cal tracs and monoleafs, calvert shocks. It has been converted to the larger bolt pattern wheels (5*4.5) and front disk brakes from Stainless Steel Brakes. It has new fuel lines, new brake lines, new gas tank, new exhaust, new vinyl top and on and on and on. All the best stuff. 

This car has run a best time of 11.70 @ 113 on an 8" slick. Don't let that fool you though, this is not a pure race car, and it is a blast to drive on the street (it has mufflers and is not ridiculously loud). It is almost zero maintenance (hydraulic roller cam -not solid). It gets lots of attention at that shows and the track.

If racing is your thing, there is a ton of performance left in this car. It is tuned for street-strip and it is full wieght with the entire original interior.

Incomplete parts list:
Engine:
1999 5.9 Magnum engine.
Hughes Iron Ram heads (drilled for LA intakes)
RPM Air Gap intake
Mallory Electronic ignition (with two step, rev limit, spark retard, etc)
Kevko oil pan
Mopar valve covers
Custom Comp hydraulic roller cam (nice sound, but VERY streetable)
Hooker Comp headers with Darkside ceramic coating.
TTI X-pipe with Ultraflow mufflers into dumps ( have TTI tailpipes also)
New radiator and electric fan (have original radiator/fan setup)
Carter mechanical fuel pump 
Cloyes billet double roller timing chain

This engine made 332 rwhp on a Dynojet dyno.

Drivetrain:
904 Transmission
Basically every trick from the A&A catalog except it has a stock drum (I have over $2000 in parts in this transmission).
A&A manual transbrake valve body
Cast aluminum pan
AN fittings and B&M stacked plate cooler
Ultimate Converter Concepts 9” torque converter (Streetable 3500 stall) ($900 new)
Dynotech custom Aluminum racing driveshaft
A body 8.75 rear with Moser Axles, Detroit Locker and Motive 3.91 gear.
Cheetah shifter

Suspension/ chassis:
Calvert Racing shocks (front and rear) 
Cal-tracs and monoleafs
Custom subframe connectors
Custom driveshaft loop (removable with 2 bolts)
Stainless Steel Brakes front disk brake kit
Rebuilt manual steering box


This is not a cobbled together hack-work kids hot-rod car. This is a solid low mile original Mopar. The modifications are well thought out and expertly installed. Everything has been done to make the minimum impact on the car's originality. I have the original window sticker, and lots of other cool documentation. Two fender tags.

I have a photobucket gallery with more pics. For some reason, Ebay won't let me put the link in this listing, so please ask if interested.

I have a clear title in my name. The car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I will work with the buyer to physically get the car on a transport, but shipping is the buyer's responsibility. This is a no disappointments car, but I highly recommend checking it out in person - I am available for in-person appointments.

PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE CASH!

Please send me a message if you'd like to learn more. I can provide my phone number to interested buyers.

Thanks for looking!

ATTENTION BIDDERS:


Due to the actions of a few, I am forced to run this auction like a kindergarten class.

IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACK 
contact me BEFORE bidding. I will require your name, your phone number and will want to actually speak to you on the phone BEFORE you bid.  OR YOUR BID WILL BE DELETED. THERE WILL BE NO WARNINGS.

This is a real auction, by a real guy with a REAL car for sale. I will only deal with REAL bidders with REAL money. If you aren't willing to deal with that, don't bid. 

The reserve on this auction is $11,750, and it is worth every damn penny and then some. It is supposed to be $12,750, but for some reason it isn't. This is potentially lucky for a REAL buyer.

If you are thinking about bidding on this car and actually want it, this is your last chance. After all these games and garbage, this car will not be listed on Ebay again, ever. 

I am happy to talk to REAL buyers with REAL money. If you are not a REAL buyer with REAL money, don't waste my time.

FURTHER, if there is a real buyer out there who wins the auction, I highly recommend contacting me IMMEDIATELY after the end of this auction.

Dodge Grand Caravan reportedly will cease production in 2020

Wed, Jul 24 2019

The Dodge Grand Caravan looks like it may finally be reaching its demise next year. A report from Automotive News Canada says the old Dodge minivan will cease production in May 2020. The report cites AutoForecast Solutions as the source of its news. FCA confirmed to us that the van will be going away eventually, but the company is not ready to put an official end date on it yet. For the time being, it looks like the Grand Caravan’s long run will eventually grind to a halt in Windsor, Ontario, the vanÂ’s only production site. With the introduction of the Chrysler Voyager as the budget minivan option from Chrysler, FCA may think it no longer has any use for the outdated Dodge. The Grand Caravan has a starting price of $28,535, whereas the new Voyager is priced from $28,480. ThatÂ’s an almost identical starting point, but we still donÂ’t know what kind of incentives FCA will offer for the Voyager. There are typically big cuts for the Grand Caravan, which have pushed recent average transaction prices down to $24,972. We imagine itÂ’ll be much more difficult for FCA to offer discounts of that magnitude to Voyager shoppers. Still, AutoForecast Solutions told Automotive News it believes FCA will transition folks away from the Grand Caravan. “For the 2020 model year, theyÂ’ll likely run to fleet and then get the consumers to buy the new Voyager,” says Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions. Eliminating the Grand Caravan would be a strong bet on ChryslerÂ’s strategy of splitting the Pacifica into two different model lines. Nearly every month, FCA sells more Grand Caravans than Pacificas. The Pacifica is the far superior minivan to own, but you canÂ’t argue with a cheap price. Once the Grand Caravan is gone, budget minivan buyers will have no choice but to buy a Voyager if they want the cheapest new option out there. Entries from the few other manufacturers that produce minivans are all going to be more expensive than the Voyager. The 2020 Pacifica and Voyager team are slated to reach dealers later this year, but it wonÂ’t be until next year that weÂ’re able to fully take stock of how this plays out for FCA.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Dodge Colt Vista

Wed, Oct 19 2016

The partnership between Chrysler and Mitsubishi started way back in 1971 and led to plenty of Mitsubishis being sold in the United States as Chryslers, Dodges, Plymouths, and Eagles (plus the use of Mitsubishi engines in all manner of Chrysler-built vehicles). The Colt name – used on a series of Galant-, Lancer-, and Mirage-based cars – became a fairly successful brand for Chrysler, and so it was slapped on Dodge- and Plymouth-badged Mitsubishi Chariots. The Colt Vista wasn't a huge sales success, and you won't see many today, but they had a certain following. Here's a rare '90 that I spotted in a Minneapolis self-service wrecking yard over the summer. Just 114k miles on this one, but the rust got pretty bad and that's the most likely culprit for its junkyardization. These cars made good family haulers, although you wouldn't find many of their 2016 counterparts sporting three pedals. Turbo Tom kept it going for quite a while, but rust never sleeps in Minnesota.
