This is the first time I have ever offered this car for sale. My 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Plum Crazy Hemi Convertible clone car. It runs with a crate 528 cubic inch aluminum heads Hemi engine with 610 horsepower and 650 ft-lbs of torque. Custom built 727 automatic transmission, 8 3/4  sure grip posi traction, 3:23 rear axle, power disc brakes with electric vacuum pump and power steering. IT is loaded with all new rubber door and trunk seals, black side stripe decals, black stripe on R/T hood, 426 metal emblems on hood, dual painted mirrors, flip top gas cap, rally gauges, tack, and power top. A cost of over $120,000.00 was spent building this beautiful show car just prior to me driving it about 1900 miles and that was a very cool once in a life time kind of experienc and pleasure. It's not any day or every day when a Hemi challenger convertible pulls up to the gas pumps, in fact every time I did , before I turned the engine off there was a croud gathered around it.The tack and speed odometer work well and the total milage registered on the odometer is 11878. This may be the actual miles on the body but I'am not sure of that but of course by looking at it you would think it had 78 miles. I'am getting into my senior years now and with regrets due to health issues I'am forced to sell this car as well as other cars that I own. The car is located on British Columbia,Canada and it can be sold with either a USA registration or a Canadian registration, I can do that for the buyer. The seller shall and will make every responsible effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of the auction.All the winter photos were taken in Nov 2013 and it was about 10 below zero thats why I did not snap the toneau cover down tightly, if it were sommer then it would fit nicely.Now that I have decided to sell this car there is two seprate locals gents that are trying to put a deal together ,so if any one of them come up with the funds before the auction runs its course then I do reserve the right to stop the auction and sell it locally. THIS IS GOING FOR A SECOND AND FINAL ROUND TO SEE IF I CAN GET ANY CLOSER TO MY LOWEST DOLLAR.

Fiat brand chief reassigned then resigns amid flagging sales

Tue, Oct 13 2015

Jason Stoicevich was replaced as head of the Fiat brand in North America just the other day. He was immediately reassigned to another job within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. But according to Automotive News, Stoicevich quit the new job – and the company altogether – the very next day. The development comes amidst flagging sales for the Fiat brand in America. The introduction of the awkward-looking 500L multi-purpose vehicle has been largely regarded as a sales disaster in the US. Despite having just introduced the new 500X into the growing crossover market, and an overall upward trend across FCA group sales, the Fiat brand's figures have been dropping all year. While the Italian brand's volume has fluctuated from month to month compared to last year's sales, the number of cars its dealers sells on an average day has been firmly in decline. Fiat's downward trend reflects a general tendency in the market towards larger vehicles at the expense of smaller ones. However, the powers that be in Auburn Hills evidently felt that a change of leadership was in order, so it placed Dodge chief Tim Kuniskis in charge of all the company's mass-market passenger-car brands – namely Dodge, Chrysler, and Fiat – and moved Stoicevich to running the group's fleet and small-business operations. Stoicevich remained in charge of the company's California Business Center, but it seems as though he was as dissatisfied with the switch as his superiors were with the performance of the brand over which he presided, and so he apparently elected to step down and leave the company.

Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power

Tue, 21 May 2013

A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.

Dodge Charger and Challenger go Plum Crazy for Woodward Dream Cruise

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Dodge will be rolling through a purple haze at the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise on August 15 with the reintroduction of Plum Crazy to the color options on most trims of the 2016 Challenger and Charger. To premiere the latest use of the wild shade, the brand's display at the annual Detroit-area automotive event will be showing off violet versions of the 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack. The brash tone originally debuted in 1970, but Dodge has kept the lavender hue special in recent years by limiting the option to specific trims. It was last offered during the 2014 model year on R/T and SRT trims of the two vehicles. Practically any buyer will be able to go Plum Crazy if they want. On the Challenger, the color will be available on the SXT Plus, R/T models, Hemi Scat Pack Shaker, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat trims. The choices for the Charger will be similarly broad, including the SXT when ordered with 20-inch wheels, R/T versions, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat. Customers desperately wanting a vehicle in the insanely violet shade will be able to place the first orders in September, and dealers will get the chance from October through the end of the year. Production of the lavender muscle cars will then commence in November.
