Everyone dreams of this story... I received an email about this car through my website www.moparmontana.com in July of this year. The email was about a one-owner Phoenix-based numbers matching 383 Magnum 4 speed Charger with factory A/C that might be available for sale. In August, I was able to obtain the car from the widow of the ORIGINAL owner.
This is an exceptional example of a well maintained car that the one owner took extraordinary pride in. It is not exactly a "survivor", yet is not "restored". It is simply a extremely nice car that the one-owner treated with love and respect for the past forty-five years. The trunk had two boxes of receipts for every single part, belt, hose, filter, u joint, and tire for the past four decades. It was his pride and joy, which is why the wife took 25 years to resell it after he passed.
It was resprayed to a very high level in the late '80s and still presents very well. I assume that the bumble bee stripe was added at that time. It still has a high gloss and is perfectly straight. The chrome and bright work are perfect with exception of a ding in the drip rail trim over the driver door (see photo). The interior is perfect. The vinyl top is perfect. The glass is perfect. Everything works except A/C which needs a charge. Being from Phoenix for most of it's life, there is no rust. The gaps are perfect. The chrome is perfect... The interior trim is perfect except for a few minor cracks in the plastic around the radio bezel. No cracks in the wheel, dash pad, seats, etc.
I did not detail, or even wash the car for these photos. All I have done since I purchased it is brakes, tune up, lube, and all fluids. As far is I know it was last washed 25 years ago, and has been under cover ever since. It was on jack stands, under a car cover, when I went to pick it up at a condo in Phoenix. After recommissioning it, I have put less than 400 miles on it.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger
Sun, Dec 20 2020DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.

Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.
