Restomods are something everyone can appreciate. It doesn't matter if you're a fan of authentic, factory-correct
builds or wild pro streets, cars like this 1973 Dodge Challenger will catch everyone's eyes and bring them in for a
closer look. After going through a ground up, rotisserie restoration, this car mixes some of the best features of
Challengers and a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda of the era, for one incredible E body car....dubbed the "CHACUDA".

This car started life as a 1973 Dodge Challenger, but that would be hard to identify as the front grill,
headlights, and bumper are from a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda. That grill was fitted very nicely and blends well with
the Challenger fenders. Topping that grill is an authentic '70-72 shaker hood that maintains its asthetics, but has
not been modified to be functional due to the fuel injected motor underneath. Walking toward the rear of the car
you'll notice the door handles, marker lights, side mirrors, and antenna have been shaved for a smooth look. The
trunk deck is brand new and is capped with a 1970 'Cuda spoiler. Beneath that spoiler is a custom fabricated 1970
'Cuda rear valance that perfectly melds to the Challenger body and houses OEM tail lights with a matching 'Cuda
bumper below. You'll also notice the gas filler has been shaved from the passenger side and has been relocated to
the rear behind the license plate just like the Barracudas. Covering all of this wonderful body work is a glossy
coat of Bright Silver Metallic from a 2012 Challenger, with a Tungsten Metallic finish covering the hood and top of
the front fenders for a subtle two-tone finish. No restomod look is complete without the right wheels, and the 18"
5 spoke wheels from a 3rd generation Challenger are a good choice.

Pop open the doors with the remote electronic actuator and you'll find an interior that is familiar to a '73
Challenger, but benefits from a few modern updates. The first update you'll notice are the black vinyl seats up
front that flank the center console. That console houses the cool pistol grip shifter and is accented in carbon
fiber look to help tie in the vehicles appearence. The guage cluster contains factory instrumentation and is also
highlighted with the faux carbon fiber. Below those gauges is a JVC AM/FM/CD head unit, and cotnrols for the
Vintage Air air conditioning, and heat. With exception of the very clean dash, everything inside is new. The rear
bench is covered in taut, black vinyl, the carpets have seen little wear, and the driver takes control with a great
looking 3-spoke steering wheel. To get the fun started, there is a secret push button start located in the ash trat
for security to make it hard for any unwelcomed joy riders to take control of this CHACUDA.

Quite possible the best feature of this car is that is is powered by a 5.7L fuel injected Hemi V8 thats creates 335
horsepower. That Hemi is nestled in a clean and tidy engine bay that is surrounded by color matched, silver painted
fenders and firewall. Power is sent to a rebuilt 727 automatic transmission that sends power to an 8.75" rear end.
Underneath you'll find a very clean chassis. The suspension is all recently new, and all of the hardware has been
cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted.The floor pans and frame rails have been painted in a gloss black for a great,
show worthy look. There is also a new gas tank with a new fuel pump, a new wiring harness, and a rebuilt
radiator...so you can be sure that this car was restored with reliability in mind. Supplementing the drive is power
steering and power brakes with discs up front, while 235/40/18 Falken Ziex ZE612 rubber keeps this CHACUDA planted
to the road. Included with the sale is a large photo album that documents the build of this car from start to
finish and shows the level of detail that was put into this amazing car.

Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.

Marchionne says no offers are on the table for Fiat Chrysler

Sun, Sep 3 2017

MONZA, Italy (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has not received any offer for the company nor is the world's seventh-largest carmaker working on any "big deal", Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said on Saturday. Speaking on the sidelines of the Italian Formula One Grand Prix, Marchionne said the focus remained on executing the company's business plan to 2018. Asked whether FCA had been approached by someone or whether there was an offer on the table, he simply said: "No." The company's share price jumped to record highs last month after reports of interest for the group or some of its brands from China. China's Great Wall Motor Co Ltd openly said it was interested in FCA, but had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. The stock move was also helped by expectations that the company might separate from some of its units. Marchionne reiterated on Saturday that FCA was working on a plan to "purify" its portfolio and that units, such as the components businesses, would be separated from the group. He hopes to complete that process by the end of 2018. "There are activities within the group that do not belong to a car manufacturer, for example the components businesses. The group needs to be cleared of those things," he told journalists. Asked whether an announcement could come this year, Marchionne said it was up to the board to decide and that it would next meet at the end of September. He said the time was not right for a spin-off of luxury brand Maserati and premium Alfa Romeo and the two brands needed to become self-sustainable entities first and "have the muscle to stand on their feet, make sufficient cash". "The way we see it now, it's almost impossible, if not impossible, to see a spin-off of Alfa Romeo/Maserati, these are two entities that are immature and in a development phase," he said. "It's the wrong moment, we are not in a condition to do it." He said the concept of separating the two brands from FCA's mass market business made sense and did not rule out this happening in future, but not under his tenure, which lasts until April 2019. "If there is an opportunity in future, it would certainly happen after I'm gone. It won't happen while Marchionne is around," he said.

Hypermiling a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel to 38.1 mpg

Fri, May 9 2014

You never quite know what Wayne Gerdes has up his sleeve. The man who coined the term hypermiling is always looking for adventurous ways to prove that anyone – even you... yes, you – can eke out more miles per gallon just by changing the way you drive. Saying that is easy. Proving it by going on outlandish cross-country drives is hard. But for Gerdes and his team of fuel economy fiends over at CleanMPG, hard is half the fun. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. Which is why we always answer the phone when Gerdes calls. He likes to take journalists along on his drives, not only to try teach us how to hypermile but also to prove that we can be taught. The first time I 'helped' him and his team was when we got over 30 miles per gallon in a 2011 Ford F-150 XLT with the EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6. The EPA rated that truck with at just 16 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. So, we'll count that trip as a success. Next up was a cross-country drive last fall in a trio of Audi TDI vehicles to prove that you don't need to drive extra slow to beat the EPA numbers. In fact, we made it from Los Angeles to New York City in just over 46 hours, cramped but not cranky. We had once again proven that how you drive is hugely important to your fuel usage. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. The EPA says that the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel we would be driving gets just 22 combined mpg (19 city and 27 highway). Gerdes' idea was to drive it as far north from Houston, TX towards Detroit, MI as we could go on one tank. The day before we left, our itinerary got an extra stop. Instead of taking one of the official Shell Eco-marathon prototype vehicles to Detroit, it was decided to bring the winning diesel-powered prototype from the just-finished event to The Henry Ford Museum, where it had been arranged the car would be displayed. The winning car was built by a small team (just four students) from Sullivan High School in Sullivan, IN, who managed to beat a number of college teams with a score of 1,899.32 mpg. That target would be a bit out of reach for the Ram, but could we get 1,000 miles from the tank? Since the truck has a 26 gallon tank (officially, anyway), that would mean the EPA says we could only go 702 miles, assuming all highway driving. Could we make up 300 miles with careful driving? That spells both challenge and fun.
