You are bidding on a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi w/slapstick auto trans. The car has 34300 orig. miles on the odo and has not been on the road since 1975. It has been covered on blocks in a garage since that time. Interior because of that is in superb condition with only a small wear mark at the drivers left foot floor resting position, a bit of lightening of the driver’s door panel were the drivers arm rested on the sill and armrest also the headliner while undamaged in any way is pillowing in places. The exterior is straight BUT the car has had the paint, due I assume to needing some body work, redone on both sides of the car blended to the un-redone hood and trunk. As you can look at all of the big panels on these old muscle cars, the rear quarters and front fender inner‘ds can be looked at and no bodywork is evident. On the passengers door a scratch does reveal what could be either a primer/filler or sanding mark coat of body filler having been applied. I ran my CCTV scope inside both doors and if they were body worked you can’t tell were. Something has been done but since the original owner has passed we can only speculate. It has the shopping cart marks, for want of a better phrase, of a car that was until 1975 just a daily driver. Remember you are looking at what the car IS now, back then, it was just a car. The biggest issue as far as the car being a “Barn Find” dream is this; it DOES NOT HAVE MATCHING NUMBERS. The engine and transmission were replaced in early 1971 with a factory short block that has been massaged a bit, Iskenderian cam and lifter kit, Crower roller chain timing, Mallory Dual Point Ign. / Distributor. Also the oil lines where done up in Aeroquip and the pan oversized by 2 1/2 ”. The interior of the engine has all been de-flashed and coated for faster oil drain back. The orig. four barrel carbs were replaced with the racing versions but retained the progressive linkage that came stock including the trans kick-down linkage. Before I even turned the engine it was filled with 9+ gallons of oil held at 150 degrees F. for two days, then an electric drive motor ran the oil pump for an hour, then I rolled the engine over by hand for fifty revolutions. After that because the Torque-Flite B&M trans has a back pump, I turned the output shaft at a gradually increasing rate until it stalled by trying to turn the engine over. If you are old enough you will remember you COULD push start the old automatics, until it was cheaper to take out the back pumps. After the cooling system was cleaned, which other than some light dirt scale from being dry so long, it was refilled with 50/50 coolant, pressure tested to 20psi. With a fresh fill of high zinc and phosphorus break in oil and new filter she was ready for start-up. The points in the Mallory are perfect and just a dab of lube was all that was needed there, two pumps on the throttle and she roared, literally, into life. I let her come up to temp, new thermostat, and then raised her on the hoist until the wheels were free of the ground, put it in drive and let it free run for about 20 minutes to check for heat and or leaks, none were found. Next came the test drive, and man let me tell you, if you have never had the thrill of a 426 Hemi, it is a rush and a half. Granted, you twist her tail and you will have her tail coming right around you. She is a hand-full and NOT for the faint of heart. This is an opportunity to own not only a piece of history, but have a choice to go with it. Because it is not a matching number car the price tag is in a much lower range. A 1970 Hemi Cuda barn find, 15k less miles and matching numbers just sold at auction for $1.3 million. You’re going to save a bundle on this car. It is perfect for the person that wants to do a ground up because the ground is not that far away, OR, you can have the coolest “Daily driver” around just the way she is. I have posted a YouTube video; it takes you on a tour over and under the car. The link is as follows; http://youtu.be/or4tBh6Vw8g After you take the tour, AND you are serious about the car and need/want more info, M-F 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MDT I can be reached at (801) 637-1812. I strongly suggest that you or your agent come look at the car In Person. The car is NOT perfect but remember she is 44 years old, and she still can kick ass on most anything on the street. This car is so good that I would NOT for one moment hesitate to drive it cross country. I would recommend however that you have it trucked to you, heavily insured. But you could do it, and it would be a road trip for the ages. Last thing here, and in payment details, I have title in hand, free and clear, PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY, There will be a 5% Buyers Premium ADDED to the end price of the car. I am brokering the car for the owner and they have agreed to split the normal 10% with the buyer. This is NOT negotiable and must be paid separately by the purchaser before ANY paperwork changes hands, period. If this is an affront to you, do not participate, simple as that. Good luck, and do not hesitate to ask questions, here or by phone. |

Feds accuse Fiat Chrysler, UAW of conspiring to break labor laws
Wed, Jun 13 2018DETROIT — Top officials of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers union conspired to violate U.S. labor laws, federal prosecutors alleged in a court document, saying a former executive at the automaker knew bribes paid to union leaders were designed to "grease the skids" in labor negotiations. U.S. Justice Department officials for the first time called the company and the union "co-conspirators" in a document related to a guilty plea agreed by former Fiat Chrysler director of employee relations Michael Brown. The document was filed with the U.S. District Court in Detroit on May 25. Its contents were reported by the Detroit News on Wednesday. Brown pleaded guilty to one count of concealing a felony. The plea agreement stated that he knew Fiat Chrysler executives authorized $1.5 million in improper payments and travel, liquor, cigars and other goods for UAW officials who served on the union's negotiating committee. Prosecutors say FCA executives paid UAW representatives to influence union business. including collective bargaining on contracts ratified in 2011 and 2015. The government contends money was run through the UAW-Chrysler National Training Center, via false charitable donations and training center credit cards. Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne has said in the past that the misconduct "had nothing whatsoever to do with the collective bargaining process" and the "egregious acts were neither known to nor sanctioned" by the company. Fiat Chrysler had no further comment Monday. Outgoing UAW President Dennis Williams told union leaders at a conference in Detroit on Monday "our leadership team had no knowledge of the misconduct — which involved former union members and former auto executives — until it was brought to our attention by the government." Brown pleaded guilty on May 25, according to court documents, and will be sentenced on Sept. 20. Five other people have pleaded guilty in the government's ongoing investigation into the UAW and Fiat Chrysler, including the wife of a late UAW official, two other former UAW employees, former Fiat Chrysler vice president Alphons Iacobelli and another former Fiat Chrysler employee.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.
