 The car started out as a special order by the owner of the Chrysler dealership in Berwick, PA. The car was purchased for his wife (I got this information from the son of the original owner who I was able to track down from information in the owners manual). The odometer shows 40k but as it is only a 5 digit odometer true mileage is unknown but my guess is 140k. The person from whom we bought the car did not know much of it's history but he did live about 15 miles from Berwick so I doubt it has traveled much. We bought the car in October 2012 with 11k on the clock. If you do the math you will see we have put almost 29k miles on the car in the last 18 months. The car runs GREAT and rides great. My 14 year old daughter fights for the back seat because she says it's like riding the sofa down road. The car starts easily and has plenty of power (it does have the 440, after all). The original wheels were replaced with rally wheels that were painted to match the body. The following items have been replaced in the past 18 months:

Spark Plugs (and other tune-up items)

Tires

Rear Shocks & Rear helper springs

Alternator, Water Pump and related  Belts and Hoses

New windshield wiper bushings.

The power sunroof operates as it should. The drivers window does get stuck going down (a little push and moves fine); it works fine going up (weird, huh?) The "Lean Burn" system was removed before we bought the car and while it will come with the original air cleaner it now has an Edelbrock air cleaner. The fender skirts are solid although there are some minor rust places expected in a car 37 years old.

After we had first bought the car, as we were preparing for a trip to Ga, (it has also been to Northern New Jersey, Virginia, Kentucky and all points in between) I took to the car to my mechanic. When he was putting the car on the lift he said "I hear from a lot of people the 'I just bought this car and it's in really good shape.' all the time but This car is in really good shape!" I think the fact that we have put so many miles on it attests to that. Since the pictures were taken we have lost the small hub cap from the right front wheel (on a West Virginia paved cow path) and the trim ring from the left rear wheel. Replacements are available I just never got around to buying them.

Items not working: The reset for the trip meter. The A/C does not blow cold; I have been told the expansion valve needs to be replaced. There is an expansion valve in the truck as well as an R-12 to R-134 conversion kit. I just enjoy having the sunroof and windows open so I have not had it fixed. The cruise does not work but it did when I bought the car. The diaphragm in the Cruise has a hole. From what I was able to determine the same cruise unit was used until 1984 so there should be replacements available. The same is true for the parking brake release. The parking brake is supposed to release as soon as put the car in drive. It did when we bought it but that no longer works either. I could hear the vacuum coming from it so it too has a leak in the diaphragm. I removed the vacuum hose to stop the hissing. You can still release the brake by foot. The passenger side power seat does not work but the drivers seat works in all directions.  

The only reason we are selling is due to a change in circumstances which requires something a little more fuel efficient. Our original intention was not to use this as a daily driver (which it has become) but as fun weekend ride. We would much rather see the car go to someone who can give the attention it richly deserves.

 I forgot to mention the car was appraised in December 2012 by Accurate Auto Appraisers, 370 Johnsville Rd., Blairsden, CA for $5500. A copy of the appraisal will accompany the vehicle.

Feds sue Fiat Chrysler, accuse it of cheating on diesel emissions

Tue, May 23 2017

WASHINGTON - The US government has filed a civil lawsuit accusing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV of using software to bypass emission controls in diesel vehicles. The Justice Department suit, filed in US district court in Detroit, is a procedural step that may ramp up pressure on Fiat Chrysler. The suit could ultimately help lead to a settlement, as in an earlier probe of rival Volkswagen AG that will cost VW up to $25 billion, but which affected a much larger number of vehicles. VW admitted to intentionally cheating while Fiat Chrysler denies wrongdoing. It did not immediately comment on Tuesday. US-listed Fiat Chrysler shares were down 2.9 percent at $10.44. The suit also names Fiat Chrysler's unit V.M. Motori SpA, which designed the engine in question. Reuters reported last week the Justice Department and EPA have obtained internal emails and other documents written in Italian that look at engine development and emissions issues that raise significant questions. The investigation has scrutinized VM Motori. FCA acquired a 50 percent stake in VM Motori in 2010 and the remainder in October 2013. The lawsuit asserts the Italian-American automaker placed undeclared "defeat devices," or auxiliary emissions controls, in 2014-2016 Fiat Chrysler diesel vehicles that led to "much higher" than allowable levels of nitrogen oxide, or NOx pollution, which is linked to smog formation and respiratory problems. The suit seeks injunctive relief and unspecified civil penalties. EPA said in January the maximum fine is about $4.6 billion. In January, EPA and California accused Fiat Chrysler of illegally using undisclosed software to allow excess diesel emissions in 104,000 U.S. 2014-2016 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks. Fiat Chrysler said on Friday it plans to update software that it expects will resolve the concerns of U.S. regulators about excess emissions in those vehicles. The January notice was the result of regulators' investigation of rival Volkswagen, which prompted the government to review emissions from all other passenger diesel vehicles. Volkswagen admitted in September 2015 to installing secret software allowing its cars to emit up to 40 times legal pollution levels. In total, VW has agreed to spend up to $25 billion in the United States to address claims from owners, environmental regulators, states and dealers and offered to buy back about 500,000 polluting US vehicles.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

2014 Chrysler 300S gets all black and blue

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Outside of the SRT variant, if you want the sharpest-looking Chrysler 300, you'll probably want the 300S trim. This showy variant has traditionally sported larger wheels and some subtle body changes to set it apart from the herd, along with its own unique take on the big sedan's interior.
For 2014, the S will be set apart even further. A number of exterior items will be blacked-out, including black chrome around the grille and Chrysler badges finished in a liquid-chrome finish with a black center. Black moldings are standard, while owners can get an extra dose of style by opting to have the roof painted Gloss Black. Hyper Black 20-inch wheels are standard on the rear-drive model, while 19s are fitted to the all-wheel-drive variant. Smoked tail and headlights round out the package.
The cabin, meanwhile, gets a new trim option - Ambassador Blue. The pale, blue Nappa leather features contrasting, silver French stitching found on the seats and the door armrests.
