Howdy,
I'm selling my 1969 Charger. Somewhat begrudgingly. I love the car, I'm just not driving it that much lately. And you'll notice a pic of a 1969 Coronet. I figured I should bankroll another project. Anyhow, Here's a little description for you. I bought this car 6 years ago. When I bought it the body had just received a frame off restoration with fresh paint. It had a brand new TCI 727 Sizzler transmission and a freshly rebuilt bored out 30 over 383. None of this had been assembled. There was no interior in the car, no body trim, no vinyl top, and some nasty old 72 rims. I put the car together and did the entire interior. The vinyl top I had professionally done. As you can see from the pics the car is beautiful and I assure you in runs very well. Brakes, suspension, and bushings were all new at time of restoration. They are all in great condition. I used to live in rural Oregon and regularly drove the car on weekends along those beatiful highways where few people go. This is where the car belongs. It wants to run. It's not tuned for stop and go traffic. Since moving to the Bay Area a couple of years ago, dealing with traffic all the time, I just don't feel like driving in my off time and would feel terrible subjecting such a beauty to nasty Bay Area commute traffic. Hence the sell. The rims are excellent condition 71 rallys. I had debated mags but I had these and I decided I really liked them once I put them on. They are real metal hubs with new trim rings. The tires are barely used BF Goodrich radial T/As. Honestly the car has all of 3000 miles on it since restoration. All of the gauges and lights work except the turn signal indicators on the front hood. A couple of the gauges read a little off. The fuel is empty when it reads a quarter full and the needle is buried when you fill it. Things like that. The vacume headlight doors work great. The radio does not work. The undercarriage is immaculate and I plan on including a couple of pics to show that soon. There is no rust on this car at all. There are however a couple of small body issues. Two driver side door dings. And I believe a tire of a large pickup rubbed at the juncture or the driver door and front fender. The car was stored inside for all but 5 months since I've had it. Unfortunately I was out of town for a couple of months when a storm hit and water got under the car cover. It formed a bunch of little bubbles on the horizontal surfaces. These are tiny and unnoticable from 5 feet away. I included a pic of the one bubble I opened up to see if there was any undercoat damage. There is not. This is strictly a surface coat issue. It happened 5 years ago and there has been no change. Another unusual feature of this car. It is registered as a 68 Charger. I am not entirely sure why. If you know your Chargers you can see that there is nothing that is not 1969 about this car except for the engine color. It may be that that the fellow I bought it from had two bad Chargers and made one good one. I don't know. $1000 to be paid within 24hrs of completion of auction. The balance will need to clear before I turn over the title. I accept Paypal, Cashiers Check, Money Order, or Cash. The reserve is upper mid 20's. The vehicle will need to be picked up within 3 weeks of payment. I am happy to meet a shipper for pickup. Email if you have any questions. Thanks for reading!

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with '600-plus horsepower' officially unveiled [w/video]
Tue, 20 May 2014Dodge has officially unveiled the most powerful vehicle to ever wear the Challenger name - the SRT Hellcat - complete with over 600 horsepower courtesy of a supercharged, 6.2-liter Hemi V8. It will be offered alongside the 485-hp Challenger SRT.
The new, force-induced V8 isn't just the most powerful ever fitted to the Challenger, it's the most powerful eight-cylinder Chrysler Group has ever built. Power figures aren't finalized, so expect to see "over 600 hp" bandied about quite a lot. That fury will be channeled through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Yes, over 600 ponies through an eight-speed auto. So far, the only vehicle we know of that delivers more output through that many gears is the as-yet untested Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Sadly, we don't have performance metrics just yet, although if this thing can't crack four seconds to 60 miles per hour, we'll be pretty surprised.
As is the theme nowadays, the 2015 Challenger SRT features a number of driving modes, governing power output, shift speeds for the 8AT, steering effort, traction control settings and suspension settings. There are three pre-programmed options - Default, Sport and Track - and a Custom mode that allows drivers to mix and match to their heart's content.
Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval
Mon, Jun 8 2020BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk
Fri, 09 May 2014Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.
