Vehicle came out of Auburn Indiana. Purchased at the Auction America auction at Auburn Auction Park. Previous owner did a body-on restoration on the vehicle sometime in the early 2000s and has kept meticulous records of almost every single part purchased for the Challenger (I have a folder two inches thick full of receipts/documents/service history, etc.).  It has been mechanically completely rebuilt so it runs/drives good and can be driven anywhere. 

Vehicle has a VERY SOLID BODY. Doors open and close perfectly. Body is very straight down the sides with very few if any ripples. Seems to have all original body panels except for one lower quarter patch by rear driver's side quarter panel, with new sheetmetal, otherwise the rest seems to be all original. This is a VERY NICE car and has had a quality paintjob done to it a few years ago that has held up very well and looks fantastic.

Under the hood lies a COMPLETELY REBUILT and PROFESSIONALLY ASSEMBLED and built 440ci/375hp MAGNUM motor that has been upgraded with a ton of name brand parts and go-fast goodies. Everything looks virtually brand new under the hood and is definitely a sight to behold. Most if not all receipts for parts purchased are available as well. Upgrades include aluminum intake, Holley 4bbl. double-pumper carburetor, MSD billet distributor, MSD style control box, performance plugs/wires/coil, Flowmaster dual exhaust, and tons of accent goodies as well. 

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been completely overhauled and stop on a dime! Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds great and is very responsive with a little play in the steering wheel. I would not hesitate to fly in and drive the car home anywhere in the country, as it is that reliable. 

Interior is virtually all stock with custom red/black inserts in the seats (I CAN HAVE THEM REDONE TO STOCK FOR EXTRA FEE IF DESIRED). NO rips in the seats. Excellent headliner. Carpet is very nice. Door panels very nice. Dash is good with a couple of surface cracks. Good steering wheel. Very good console. Overall a beautifully presentable interior for a high-end driver.

Chrome is fairly nice overall. Front bumper guards were removed on the car to give it a cleaner look.

Underside actually appears to be in PRETTY SOLID shape throughout. Floorboards appear very nice and solid with NO holes or large rot areas anywhere I was able to find. A couple of areas have undercoating that is peeling, other than that they are very nice.  Frame and frame rails appear EXCELLENT. VERY SOLID trunk as well, with full size spare as well as an extra rally rim, and jack. 

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT shape with BEAUTIFUL shine but is not brand new and has a few minor imperfections from driving. Some minor chips here and there. Not working: clock, gauges seem to be working fine otherwise, perhaps may need a bulb or two replaced where needed. Missing: fender tag, dome light plastic lens, a/c parts (removed but available). Trunk could use some detailing. Front bumper is presentable but could be replaced if you really wanted it to pop. Not much else I can fault on this car other than really neat picky stuff.

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 40 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives FANTASTIC, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Dongfeng and PSA extend Chinese joint venture

Thu, Dec 19 2019

BEIJING/PARIS — China's Dongfeng and Peugeot maker PSA are extending their business cooperation, despite the Chinese company reducing its stake in PSA to help smooth the French carmaker's merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Dongfeng said on Thursday it had agreed with PSA to extend the duration of their joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobiles (DPCA). Under the deal, the venture could get the rights to PSA's new brands in China and will benefit from new technologies and intellectual properties, the Chinese company said. PSA was not immediately available for comment. The announcement comes a day after the companies said Dongfeng would reduce its 12.2% stake in PSA by selling 30.7 million shares to the French company. Analysts said the move could smooth U.S. regulatory approval for PSA's roughly $50 billion (GBP38.97 billion) merger with Italian-American carmaker FCA. The sale of Dongfeng's shares in PSA, worth around 680 million euros ($757 million), will leave the Chinese group holding around 4.5% of the merged PSA-FCA, which is set to become the world's fourth-biggest carmaker by sales volumes. "As the cooperation between Dongfeng and PSA deepens, we expect the joint venture to continue making good progress in China," a Dongfeng representative said. On a conference call, Dongfeng said DPCA would have exclusive rights to PSA's Opel cars should the partners agree to bring the brand to China, and enjoy lower prices on car parts imported from PSA. Earlier this year, a document seen by Reuters showed Dongfeng and PSA plan to cut jobs at Wuhan-based DPCA and reduce its number of car plants to try to make the venture more profitable.

Stellantis reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company — formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler — reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. “We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. “These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
