Stock exh manifolds and Y pipe feed into half of a Dart/Duster 2.5" complete exhaust front to back. Mopar electronic ignition system. Transmission had a mild shift kit and a custom 1800 rpm converter minus the lock up system installed. Driveshaft has new U-joints and balanced. Rear end is a 8 1/4 that was rebuilt with 2.94 gears and a Sure-Grip. New leaf springs and bushings. New factory type rear sway bar and brackets. All new gas shocks. Firm Feel rebuilt power steering box. Stock power steering pump runs quiet no leaks. Aluminum ISO bushing replacements for the K-member. Stock interior including original floor mats.

Original owner bought it new in Salem, Ohio. He put 22,000 miles on it over about 20 years obviously never seeing snow. Its rust free and every nut and bolt I touched came out like it was just put in the day before. It passed between two other owners before I got it with 24,000 miles on it. It now has close to 39,000 miles on it. Everything I did to it was pure Mopar and only done to improve performance or handling without detracting from its originality. Other than the wheels and tires it still looks factory stock. Though it steers and handles way better than the day it left the factory. Im sure Im forgetting something just email me with any questions you might have. Feel free to inspect it before hand or have someone come and look at it for you if youre too far from me. I haven't been active lately on Moparts.com but several Ohio members have seen the car and can vouche for its condition. My member name is "mopowergtx"

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014



Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.

Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger

Mon, Jun 15 2015

Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
