 Here is a HOT ROD that your friends will envy you for having.  This has the best of the both the HOT ROD worlds.   It is an attention getter of the classic old hot rods of the 60's but the performance and handling of the latest sports cars out there.   At 80 MPH on the highway, you will be cruising at around 1400 RPMS resulting in about 17 MPG.   This makes this an awesome day trip cruiser to the lake, out to eat or wherever you desire.   However, if you are looking for sheer power and wheel spinning torque, this car has more than most avid drivers can handle.  I assure you, this vehicle will get away from you in a heart beat if you don't know how to drive one, and even if you do you should leave it up to the professionals on the track.

The first owner of this vehicle was a wealthy older gentleman who put most the miles on it.  Approximately 26,000 to 27,000 miles to be exact.  The second owner had for only a short period as he was a private contractor for Iraq and not long after having purchased, picked up another contract job that was sending him overseas for 12 to 18 months.   So, that leads to me...   I am a conservative and cautious buyer.   I purchased approximately 3 years ago with around 29,000 miles and have put around 1,000 miles a year on it driving to and from my office.

I religiously changed the oil in the spring and fall with Mobile One Ultra Synthetic oil.   2 years ago I put new brake pads and rotors on the monster, changed the plugs and replaced the tires.   Since then, I have put approximately 1500 miles on this car.   The reason I have decided to sell is because we recently moved out in the country and our driveway is approximately 1/2 mile long and is dusty and dirty.   I can't keep the car clean and I have to spend 25 minutes cleaning and wiping down with Windex every time I leave the home.  So, time to move on to some other toys and can get dirty and not fret about.

ABOUT THIS CAR:

Never been in an accident.
Has the 3M clear bra on the front and mirrors.
Black racing stripes added aftermarket.
Upgraded exhaust, no idea what it is but sounds like a Nascar and much more aggressive than stock Viper.
This car looks virtually new with only very minor blemishes near the wheel wells from small rocks and stones that any car with 32,000 miles would have.
There is a small blemish on the back hood but is almost invisible after having used touch up paint (1" by 1/16")   Car Hauler nicked corner of trunk with wrench while undoing tie downs while I was taking delivery.
Never smoked in and have Viper OEM floor mats.

Call Steve at (517)663-0600 with questions.

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION.   VEHICLE IS LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY AND SELLER RESERVES RIGHTS TO END AUCTION EARLY.

SELLER WILL WORK WITH SHIPPING COMPANY.

CLEARED FUNDS REQUIRED IN ADVANCE.   CASHIERS CHECK OR CERTIFIED FUNDS.   PAYPAL MAY BE AN OPTION AS LONG AS BUYER AGREES TO PAY ALL PAYPAL FEES!

China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians

Tue, Aug 15 2017

NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.

We drive the cars of Furious 7... in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

On March 27, Turn 10 Studios, the folks behind the Forza Motorsport series, and Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the Fast and Furious franchise, gave us a match made in heaven, announcing a "standalone expansion" featuring the two franchises. Called Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious, it features the cars from the latest film installment, unique missions and the voice-acting of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who plays tech guru Tej Parker on camera. A Fast and Furious video game? Seems like a no brainer. It gets better. Rather than limiting the Fast and Furious Edition cars to the expansion game, Turn 10 made them available through one of their (some may say notorious) downloadable content packages. Eight of the expansion's 11 cars were made available for just $4.99 (the only cars that weren't included were the Fast and Furious Edition Nissan GT-R, while the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and McLaren P1 are already available in-game). What's cool ais that the cars featured in both games are visually identical to the vehicles driven by the stars of Furious 7. Each in-game car has an on-screen parallel that plays a role in advancing the film's story. Considering that we're unlikely to score seat time in Dominic Toretto's real Dodge Charger, then, we figured we'd take to the game and test the car in the digital realm. We've got nine little cluster reviews, covering the cars both in the game and how they appear in the movies. And don't worry, there are no major spoilers here. Click on for the cars of Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast and Furious Edition Supercharged 7.2L V8 / 900 HP / 663 LB-FT The one vehicle that is mandatory in a Fast and Furious video game, Dom's hot-rodded 1970 Dodge Charger, is as much a character in the films as its driver. Furious 7 marks the fourth appearance of this Mopar beast in the series. Not surprisingly it's a handful to drive, wildly quick and with a four-speed transmission packed full of very tall gears. But beyond that, it's arguably the coolest of the FF Edition cars. This black beauty is exactly as it appears in the latest installment of the film, with the video game version featuring intricate little details, like the moving parts on the BDS supercharger. It's an iconic car, and it's treated as such in the game.

How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
