For sale I have a 1973 Dodge Challenger. I know you see a lot of these cars for sale on eBay, but you don't see one like this very often. No it's not an extremely rare car or extremely rare options, But it is a car that has not been butchered, hot rodded or changed very much since it was new. This car was purchased by my sister in Arkansas in the early 1980s. The person she bought it from said that they had purchased it brand-new. The car had radiator problems in 1992, so it was parked in the barn where it sat until a few months ago. She wanted to fix it up and restore it, and started working on the mechanics of it. But she's decided to just sell it. The car has a lot of options, was a red car with a white vinyl roof, with white bucket seats automatic on the floor, air-conditioning power disc brakes. The car has several options from the rally package, but it was not an RT.  It has the rally dash with tachometer, it has the road wheels, heavy duty cooling radiator, just a nice clean interesting original car. The car is a 318 automatic two barrel car, I've been told the engine and transmission or original numbers matching, so I believe it to be true. It can be verified for a serious buyer. The car still has original single exhaust that is quiet. It has brand-new 225 – 70–14 white letter tires with 0 miles on them. It has a new battery, new water pump, new distributor, voltage regulator, new alternator, new ignition box, fuel tank, sending unit, fuel grommet. It has an 8 3/4 rear end . The car runs and drives good, transmission shifts as it should, engine starts right up and runs smooth, however could use freshened up.the worst part of this car is the vinyl roof held moisture and rusted the outer roof skin, both front pillars, trunk filler panel, all of which were bought and come with the car. The roof skin will be strapped to roof of car to avoid additional shipping costs. It seems that these cars are either junk for 3k or 20k won't meet the reserve.. Here is your chance to get a decent original challenger with out breaking the bank. The key buzzer, tach, all lights work, even the radio works( not original) I have set a reasonable reserve on this car so bid to win. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability. Please do not ask for more pics if you are not bidding on the car and a serious buyer as that takes time and rarely does the person who asks for ten more pics ever bid on the item let alone win it. I have no problem getting any pics for bidders or serious buyers that have the money to complete a purchase. Please only bid on this if you can complete the purchase. Look at my feedback and bid with confidence! Thanks john

I have had several questions asking about the reserve price on the car. Reserve is reasonable for what the car is. The cost of the new roof skin, trunk extension, and both pillar posts, the tuneup, the battery, tires the fuel tank and accessories, is $2000 without any labor. That is something that needs to be considered, that $2000 has already been spent on parts and making it mechanically sound to run and drive. If you have any questions, please ask and I will try to answer them as quickly as possible.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
