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.

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.

Fiat Chrysler's next-generation Uconnect is faster, built on Android

Mon, Jan 27 2020

If you're a regular reader of Autoblog, you know that for a long time we've liked Fiat Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system for its bright, clear, responsive touchscreen interface. Now, according to the company, it will be better than ever with Uconnect 5, the latest iteration of the system. It has upgraded hardware and a revamped graphic user interface (the stuff on the screen). Looking at sample screens shown above, there are characteristics shared with the old system, such as the time, status and shortcuts at the top and the menu icons at the bottom. In the middle, the major change is the addition of home screens that can be customized with favorite menus and readouts that are always available. Each of these home screens can have up to four functions and you can have five pages to flip through. The graphics themselves feature more legible fonts and updated icons. Each car brand will get its own set of icons, colors and textures to help create unique experiences. And while each Fiat Chrysler product will be able to have Uconnect, including Alfa Romeo that has until now lacked Uconnect, each brand has the ability to make small tweaks including the screen orientation. The system will support displays in landscape, portrait or square, so different brands may choose different shapes. Powering Uconnect 5 is a processor Fiat Chrysler says is six times more powerful than what's in current systems. It features 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal storage. The processor also supports screens as large as 12.3 inches with as many as 15 million pixels, or nearly twice that of a 4K resolution TV. The system can display information on up to four screens, too. Uconnect 5's firmware is built on Google's Android operating system, joining a few other automakers in using Android as a base for their infotainment systems. Uconnect 5 brings with it a number of new features. It brings full Alexa integration, so you can use it just like you do at home, provided you have a data plan for the car. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto continue to be standard, but now they can be used wirelessly. You can also now connect two phones via Bluetooth wirelessly so you can access content from both. Navigation gets real time information and updates from TomTom. Users can create five profiles with unique climate, radio and instrument settings, plus one for a valet.
