I am selling my 1970 looking 1973 Dodge Challenger Project car simply because I have a new job and have very little time to finish the car now. The car is pretty much just a shell right now, everything has been taken off of the car. I have had the car since the fall of 2009, I have been working on it in my spare time over the years but I have a new job now and little free time to work on the car. The car is sitting on rollers just to move it around, the suspension has been completely removed. Any rusted areas were either cut out or sandblasted by myself. 


The Body
I replaced the rusty 1973 fenders with new goodmark 1970/71 fenders, as well as 70/71 quarter panels and 1970 tail panel. The decklid and the hood are both new as well as the trunk floor and drop off's. The doors were in really good shape as was the roof, I welded two patches in the rear roof seams fully since mopars tend to flex and crack the bodyfiller back there. I used to do body work on cars in a restoration shop so I built this one right. I installed subframe connectors and patched the rear frame rails and added extra steel inside the rail itself. The body is nice and strait, I left it in White Sealer primer, all it needs is to be blocked lightly with 320 grit and then wet sanded and then she is ready for paint. This car can be finished in any color since white is a nice undertone especially for bright colors. I have had several pieces of the trim polished but not all of them. The car comes with a good looking 1970 Challenger Grille, new aluminum headlight bezels, 1970 rear tail light housing and lenses. I shaved the side markers shut and I have not drilled any holes in the hood or decklid for emblems. 

The Engine
The 440 is a 1972 built motor, I decoded the car and found out that it used to be a 318 automatic car like most of them. I had the motor taken apart and machined professionally at a local shop here in Fargo. The motor has been dunked, honed and bored .30 over. It is unassembled, just a bare block. The pistons and the rods are together, the factory rods have been machined and balanced and I replaced the factory cast iron pistons with Keith Black Hyperutectic pistons. The crankshaft has also been balanced, I have a Lunatee Voodoo cam and lifter set that is good for 1500 to 6200 RPM's. I also have a pair of assembled Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads for the engine which would really up the horse power. 

The Drivetrain
I have not had a chance to do anything with the drivetrain, it has an 8 and 3/4 rear end that I disassembled but the third member is still all together. The transmission is not for an E body car, it needs a different tail shaft in order for the shifter to line up where I welded the four speed tunnel hump. 

The Steering
The car comes with all of the factory suspension parts plus I bought an E body specific Unisteer Rack and pinion kit that I have already fitted to the car and the factory column.

The Interior
I have all of the interior parts that I could salvage, dash parts, I have a custom cluster I built if the buyer wants it or he can just put the factory gauges in. The door panels and rear panels are in good shape but they need to be prepped and painted. The dash pad is toast so it will need a new one or a cover. The seats that come with the car are not Challenger seats but they look era correct, I built new mounts for them so they fit better in the car if the owner chooses to use them. The seats not only fold forward they also recline back. The car also comes with a center console and a pistol grip shifter. 

I have the factory Ralley wheels with white letter Goodyear tires that will also go with the car. 
I am sure I am forgetting something about the car, so if you have any questions about it feel free to e-mail me. Good luck bidding.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014



We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity

Wed, May 19 2021

MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.
