This is an amazing vehicle that you will have to see to believe! This awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. Nearly every nut and bolt is new- the car just went through a complete professional restoration.  All rotted metal was cut out and replaced, no bondo was used in the completely professional restoration.  The car was just repainted in this dazzling Plum Crazy metallic paint, with black racing stripes down both sides to really give it a really mean street racer look.  New fiberglass hood with hood scoop, new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, new windshield.

 

Car was originally a 318 but was replaced with a rebuilt 440 that has under 10,000 miles. Everything is else is new and has less than 600 miles on it.  Including a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift kit and b&m quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a rebuilt rear.  New headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust.  Rebuilt carb.  New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling fan.  Chrome valve covers, alternator, pullies.  Msd Ignition and Distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder.  New front and rear sway bars.  Also, both center headlights were removed and replaced with a chromed out cold ram air system with dual air filters and you really feel it when you step on the gas.  

 

The interior is also completly redone.  New carpet, seat covers front and rear, grant steering wheel, headliner, custom floor mats and a new dash pad.  Blue led lighting added under seats and dash.  And blue led streetglow around the underneath side of car that really lights up the road.

 

NOW THE NEGATIVES, and there aren't many.. 

 -There is a small chip in the paint on the MOLDING thats attached to the fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and you really dont even notice it, can easily be fixed.  All other paint is flawless and just about show quality, no dents, no scratches.

 - Also, although the vinyl top is new it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the drivers side seam is a tiny wavy. 

-Fuel gauge is inoperative

-Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected

-Seat belts not installed

 

 Other than these small thing the car is just about perfect, it runs and shifts perfectly, and its got plenty of power.  The reserve is set very reasonably, i have over 40k into car, my loss is your gain.  Good luck

Stellantis not looking for further mergers, including with Renault

Mon, Feb 5 2024

MILAN — Stellantis Chairman John Elkann on Monday denied the carmaker was hatching merger plans, responding to press speculation about a possible French-led tie-up with rival Renault. Elkann said that the Peugeot owner, the world's third largest carmaker by sales, was focused on the execution of its long-term business plan. "There is no plan under consideration regarding merger operations with other manufacturers," said Elkann, who also heads Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that is the largest single shareholder in Stellantis. After abandoning the Russian market, at the time its second largest after France, and reducing the scope of its global cooperation with Nissan, Renault has been seen as a potential M&A target. Speculation intensified after an electric vehicle market slowdown forced it last week to cancel IPO plans for its EV and software unit Ampere. Its market cap remains stubbornly low at little over 10 billion euros ($10.8 billion) despite a financial recovery over the past few years. Stellantis, the product of a 2021 merger between France's PSA and Fiat Chrysler and one of the most profitable groups in the industry, has a market cap of more than 85 billion euros when unlisted shares are factored in. It has a 14 brand portfolio also including Citroen, Jeep, Opel and Alfa Romeo. NEWSPAPER REPORT Italian daily Il Messaggero had said on Sunday that the French government, which is Renault's largest shareholder and also has a stake in Stellantis, was studying plans for a merger between the two groups. A spokeswoman for Renault said on Monday the group did not comment on rumors. France's Finance Ministry had declined to comment on Sunday. Stellantis has crossed swords with the Italian government, which has accused it of acting against the national interest on occasions. Industry Minister Adolfo Urso last week raised the prospect of the Italian government taking a stake in Stellantis to help to balance the French influence. Renault shares pared gains after Elkann's comments to stand 1.2% higher by 1220 GMT, having initially risen more than 4%. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, a Portuguese-national, last week said in an interview with Bloomberg that the group was "ready for any kind of consolidation" and that its job was to make sure that it would be "one of the winners". Analysts, however, question the rationale of a Stellantis-Renault merger, which would also expand the group's excess capacity in Europe.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
