See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car has been driven 2 hours, each way, to the beach approx. 6 times this summer. It has scratches and the dash has two cracks, it has a transmission leak too. I bought it wrecked in the right front and put a fender on it and got it painted, I had the two front seats recovered and a 440 & 727 motor and transmission out of a motor home that had around 33k miles, I have driven the car approx. 5k miles this summer, all hwy. miles, as I live in a small country town and the nearest town is 12 miles. There are things that need to be done to complete the project, but I have been driving it just like it is for 5K miles. All the tires, shocks, gas tank, brakes, bearings & exhaust are new and the car has been fun to drive all summer. There is small leaks, scratches, dings, the headliner, etc.... that will need to be replaced if you are looking to finish restoring the car. This is a factory AC car, but I never got around to getting it working, it does have heat and a new heater core."

This is a solid car as you can see from the pictures. It is 40 years old, so if you are looking for a show car or restored car this is not the one. If you are looking for a car that you can check the fluids once a week and drive every day then this may be the car. This is a factory AC car but I never got it working. I did put a new heater core in it and the and the blower motor works to produce decent heat - I have the hoses unhook for the summer, but they can be hooked up in a few min's when it's time for heat. I have bought many parts to make sure the car is safe and looked good enough to drive for the past 6 months and I have enjoyed it very much. I owned a car identical to this in high school and always wanted another one. I painted it the same color and upgraded to a 440. I have bought a 73 Barracuda and a 440 with a blower and I am getting ready to start that project and have decided to sell this car and a Pro Street S10 w/nitrous, see my other listing. 

I have bought so many new parts that I just cant remember them all, but I figured I spent around $12k so far. I have a few things like the rubber gasket that goes around the inside of the trunk lid, an oil pressure gauge, etc.. that are laying around and never got put on the car. I did buy new original seat covers for the front seats, new exhaust tips, shocks, tires, gas tank, shocks, water pump, valve covers, headers, aluminum intake, cd player & speakers, halogen headlight bulbs, Big Block aluminum radiator, multiple front end parts, etc... before I began driving this year. I have been able to enjoy it all summer. It will need a new wiring harness, as I have bypassed some of the original wiring to make the wipers work and put a puch button in the hole on the dash from the wiper switch, the  headliner sags and I have sewn it myself in a few places, body work is not a show quality & new paint job is scratched up at door seam, front splash pan, here and there too; it also has a transmission leak and the pump appears to be weak in the transmission. You have to let the car warm up before you try to back up or it seems sluggish, goes forward just fine and they tell me its the pump? I do not know but you have been told; it also has a small oil leak somewhere? So DO NOT COME TO TRY AND NIT PICK THE CAR AFTER YOU HAVE WON IT. MAKE THE DEPOSIT IN 24 HOURS AND COME PICK UP THE CAR WITH CASH IN YOUR HAND ( DEAD PRESIDENTS ONLY ). 
You can buy this car just like it is and enjoy it right away as I have been doing for the past 6 month, but I do want to give full disclosure.
The lights, wipers, gas gauge, etc... work, the motor runs really good and the transmission shifts great; it sounds good, looks good and people are always giving thumbs up and talking to me at the gas station. The windows roll up and down, etc...

Please email me with any questions you may before you bid; and please read the entire listing to include the condition description. If you are a serious buyer and would like to talk just send an email with your phone number. I would rather you have all your questions answered now and be sure you are happy with your purchase. 

You see the car is no rust bucket, but be sure you understand the the car was hit in the front right and I put a fender on it. I straightened out the hood and repaired it the best I could to ride. This is a driver, not a show car, although it has potential. It leaks some fluids and could use some body work and a paint job. The pictures were taken 1 hour before the listing was created and I currently have the car tagged and insured in my name with a clear title, so don't be scared off by my forward approach to the things wrong, because theres a bunch of things right about this car too.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

China's Great Wall confirms its interest — in Jeep, or all of FCA

Tue, Aug 22 2017

HONG KONG/SHANGHAI — Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor reiterated its interest in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Tuesday, but said it had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. China's largest sport utility vehicle manufacturer made a direct overture to Fiat Chrysler on Monday, with an official saying the company was interested in all or part of FCA, owner of the Jeep and Ram truck brands. Automotive News first reported the news, quoting Great Wall Motor President Wang Fengying as saying she planned to contact FCA to discuss acquiring the Jeep brand specifically. Those comments sent FCA shares higher but also raised questions over the ability of China's seventh-largest automaker by sales to buy larger Western rival FCA, or even Jeep, which some analysts value at as much as one-and-a-half times FCA. Great Wall sought to dampen speculation on Tuesday. It confirmed it had studied Fiat Chrysler, but said there was "no concrete progress so far" and "substantial uncertainty" over whether it would eventually bid. "The company has not built any relationship with the directors of FCA nor has the company entered into any discussion or signed any agreements with any officer of FCA so far," the company said in an English-language stock exchange filing. It did not give further detail. Fiat Chrysler stock dipped on the statement on Tuesday. Great Wall said trading in its Shanghai-listed shares would resume on Wednesday after having been suspended. Fiat Chrysler declined to comment on Great Wall's statement. On Monday, it said it had not been approached and was fully committed to implementing its current business plan. FLUSHING OUT RIVALS? Great Wall Motor, which was early to spot China's love of SUVs, had revenue of $14.8 billion last year and sold 1.07 million vehicles - but that compares with FCA's 2016 revenue of 111 billion euros ($130.6 billion). Analysts said Great Wall would need to raise both debt and equity to complete any deal, meaning its chairman Wei Jianjun could lose majority control. One possible scenario, according to analysts at Jefferies, would see Wei keeping a roughly 30 percent stake, while Great Wall would raise $10-$14 billion in debt and $10 billion in equity - hefty for a group currently worth just $16 billion. Ultimately, politics could be the clincher.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
