Year:1971 Mileage:150000 Color: lights

Danville, California, United States

Danville, California, United States

71 Challenger that was built to run on the street.  It does have a 70 grill (I just like the look more), but everything else is 71.  Non-matching numbers, converted from column shifted automatic to overdrive 4 speed (A833) on the floor with pistol grip.  Paint is new, but it is NOT show quality.  Car was originally dark green with black vinyl top.  Engine is fresh - I believe it was a 73 or 74 block, installed newly turned steel (forged not cast) crank, along with Scat Rods and KB pistons.  Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock Manifold, Holley DP (850), MP 528 solid lifter cam, Harland Sharp roller rockers, Hooker SuperComp headers, 3" exhaust, Dynaflow mufflers.  MSD ignition (6AL and coil).  Motor has probably 300 miles on it total.  New clutch and pressure plate installed with motor.  Tranny mileage unknown, does leak a drop or two out of seals on side.  Air shocks installed and functional (old school).  Power steering installed, but not hooked up (no belt), so it's manual steering for all intents and purposes.  8.75 rear end, not sure on ratio (3.23?), sorry.  No rust on car - as far as I know the car has always been in California and inland (not near the coast), so no salt air.  I did replace the rear dutchman panel as I went through it, so there was rust there, but it's now gone obviously.  I also replaced the front passenger fender.  Originally a vinyl top car as shown by fender tag, no longer.  New seat covers, carpet, headliner, dash cover.  All instruments work (emergency brake light, speedo, tach, temp, fuel, voltage, + two additional gauges (oil pressure and engine temp)).  Dash lights do not work at night, no horns.  All exterior lights (headlights, high beams, parking, all side markers, etc) all work just fine.  No radio/stereo in the car currently.  Tires are in great shape all around, wheels are 10" rear and 7" front.  Rear brakes have new pads, fronts were fine (drums all around).  Cars runs at 180 all day, starts right up, etc.  Runs hard.  I do not have a build sheet.  Note:  front buckets will be changed out before auction end with those shown in pic of front of car so that front seat pattern matches rear.  All new seatcovers front and rear.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut

Mon, 08 Oct 2012

Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
