This car is equipped with a 383 4 barrel, runs great, but will probably need a fuel pump in the near future. It has power brakes and power steering. The glass is all in great shape and the headliner is really nice. Door panels and dash pad are in excellent shape. The seats do have some rips and it will need new carpet. There is a rust hole on the passenger side floor board which I took a photo of, but that can be patched pretty easily. The rest of the undercarriage looks to be structurally sound. The body does have some rust, but is a good candidate for restoration and is pretty solid. The stainless is in beautiful condition. The bumpers are not show quality, but can be cleaned up and be presentable for a driver car. The grill is in nice shape, factory headlight covers are in great shape. When I got the car it actually did have a brake pedal and did work, but has a slow leak somewhere (upon purchase car would have to be trailered or towed due to lack of brakes). I purchased a brand new master cylinder, wheel cylinders for all 4 corners, and two rubber brake hoses (all pictured), so it just needs a little elbow grease to get the brakes up to par. The previous owner was driving this car over the summer. I purchased this car 3 weeks ago with plans of doing an on-frame restoration when a local car that I had been trying to purchase for some time now became available. I now don't have the room or time to put into this vehicle. I'm starting this auction at much less than I paid for the car, mostly due to the fact that the brakes were working when I purchased and now they're not. This is a 2-door hard top and is a fairly rare car. I'm selling this at a very fair price and will not take less than my starting bid. Please bid on this car if you want to purchase it. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will answer as soon as possible with the best of my knowledge. The car will have to be picked up as soon as possible after purchase. It is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to take it off Ebay if it sells. I am not interested in any trades. This car has a lot of potential and with some work could be an absolutely beautiful car.

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
