This is a 68 Charger RT tribute, it is not an original RT car.  It was originally a red 383 automatic car.  It currently has a 440 stroked to 500CI putting out 590HP on pump gas.  The engine has had extensive work (crank,pistons,cam,heads).  Compression is right at 10.9:1, hydraulic roller lifters, 850 CFM Proform carb with mechanical secondaries.  I have installed an MSD ignition with a 2 step (for future trans brake) and billet distributor.  The tranny is a race built 727 Manual valve body with a Cheetah shifter.  All front bushings are new.  The rear end was mini tubbed (professionally done looks excellent), Art Morrison back half with ladder bar setup, 8 3/4 rear end with 391 Suregrip.  Front disc brakes (power), bucket seats, new custom upholstery, new window cranks, new mirrors, new LED tail lights, new side markers, new HID headlights (w/ballast), new engine harness, custom front spoiler,  working vacuum hide away headlights, new front and rear bumpers, new stock valve covers, new 10MM spark plug wires, new 17" Magnum wheels with new rubber (305 Mickey Thompson's in the rear), new hood blinker lights, aluminum radiator, trans cooler, new air filter, TTI headers, gas tank sump,  3 inch turn down exhaust w/single chamber Flowmaster mufflers, new ignition switch.

The paint is about 3 years old.  It is a Black metallic and shows very well.  It has flat back bumble stripes.  The car was built to look mostly stock but is anything but. I have not taken it to the track but I have taken many other cars and this car will run high to mid 6's on pump gas driving it to the track.  Although with a 391 gear and an 850 carb it drinks like a fish.

Currently.....today.  The dash is out, I am refacing the gauges, replacing the ignition switch.  I am confident the car will be completed this weekend, long before the auction concludes.  This car sounds pretty wicked, and runs like a monster, as a 1968 Charger should.  I am sure I have left some things out but you have a pretty good description of the car.  All the things listed as new were done within the last 4 months.  The engine was professionally built and tuned.





 I have been working on this Charger for about 6 months and here is what I have done and what needs to be done:

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — 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.

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020

Mon, Aug 31 2015

We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"
