It was in a minor accident many years ago, and unfortunately time and resources to repair it never materialized. It was my first car, as a senior in High School, so the car has sentimental value, but I have other priorities today. Thus on auction today. I feel I am not placing the Starting Bid amount unreasonable.
Thank you for checking out my auction. I had purchased a number of parts at the Mopar Nationals, and other sources, to repair the car. So I would like to make a list of the other extra parts that are included in this auction. List of Extra Parts: (2) Hoods, very straight and solid (2) Doors, both left and right side with glass, and quite solid (1) Front Grille, complete with head light doors and vacuum actuators Another Grille, with metal frame and doors, but no actuators (1) Left Fender (1) Trunk Lid (1) Front Bumper The Engine ran strong when it was in the car. Years ago, it started having exhaust valve leakage on a few cylinders, so I had a machine shop recondition the cylinder heads. Bronze Liners, hardened exhaust seat inserts, and good quality aftermarket stainless steel valves were installed. It has a double-roller timing chain, with a lopey-lopey camshaft. The transmission should be probably be overhauled, just because it’s out.
I feel this is a solid project car. The suspension attachment points to the uni-body frame are very solid. I have taken a lot of pictures of the under-side of the car. I can E-mail more pictures for you to view this car. I have about a hundred on file.
In addition to the accident damage, I feel the car will need rear quarter panels, trunk panels, and some left floor panel/restructure work. The roof top has some holes rusted through, repairs will need to made there as well.
This car has a center shift console. It was cracked and damaged on the rear part of the console. It was shortened. To be restored, it will need another console.
The front and rear seats were recovered at some point in time. It was that way when I purchased the car. It does not look original.
Thank you again for checking out my auction. I hope this car can be a neat project for you, maybe even a unique first-car for your son, or maybe even your wife will let this car be your Christmas present. This car is being sold As-Is, Where-Is, and no shipping is being offered. I will help loading the car and parts. I have a loader tractor, or fork truck to load the engine onto your truck or trailer. I am asking for a $500 Non-Refundable Deposit using PayPal or Bank Wire Transfer within 72 hours. Payment In-Full within 10 days by means of Cash or Bank Wire Transfer. Local Pick-up only, within 30 days. If you have questions, you may call my cell phone. (517) 206-1778 The car is Near Jackson, Michigan. This car is being offered for sale locally, so I am reserving the right to end this auction at anytime.

Challenger A/T Unlimited Concept could be your next Hellcat-powered ORV
Fri, 29 Aug 2014This past June I spent an excellent day hanging out with Joey Ruiter, driving and discussing his Reboot Buggy project. Before heading home, I let him know that he was more than welcome to keep me abreast of whichever new automotive project he'd get into. You can never have too many car designers and one-off fabricators in your Rolodex, right?
Ruiter recently made good with the follow-up, emailing me with details on this Dodge Challenger A/T Untamed Concept that pushes a lot of hot buttons for the muscle car and off-roading enthusiasts.
This all-terrain Mopar is a lot more than a Challenger body dropped on a truck chassis, too. A materialized version of the A/T would included a completely new, long-travel suspension, skid plates, body armor and rock sliders, and obviously flared fenders to help accommodate a hellacious set of off-road-ready tires. The dramatically revised underpinnings would be topped with a slick graphics package and a killer lower light bar, all making the A/T look quite cohesive in its own, radical way. And the result would be a car no longer limited to mere road-driving.
Ram to go on a Rampage with new small pickup?
Wed, 16 Jul 2014When people look back at today's automotive industry, what do you think they'll remember us for? The emergence of hybrids? Ever more expensive and exotic supercars? The dawn of the self-driving car? All likely scenarios, but so is the blurring of lines between one bodystyle and another, giving rise to hardtop convertible coupes and crossovers of every shape and size. But one bodystyle the North American auto industry has stayed largely away from in the past couple of decades is a car nose and chassis with a pickup bed.
It's a bodystyle immortalized by the Chevrolet El Camino, but with few exceptions, we haven't seen too many of these automotive platypuses in recent years on our turf. Subaru tried with the Baja and the low-volume Honda Ridgeline soldiers along largely unchanged, but the genre's biggest adherents are still Down Under, where ute versions of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon live. With a few other examples scattered to the four corners of the earth, that's really about it. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could be working to bring it back.
Spied undergoing testing in Michigan, what we appear to be looking at is a heavily disguised Fiat Strada being prepared - like the Fiat Ducato-based Ram ProMaster and the smaller Doblo-based ProMaster City - for Stateside duty as a Ram product. The Strada, for those unfamiliar, is a product of Fiat Automóveis in Brazil and is based on the Palio economy car. The nameplate has been around South America since 1996 and was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (long before Volkswagen monopolized his talents), and takes a more rugged approach in the form of the Strada Adventure.
McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
