I have owned this car since 1987.  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.

Who are Mike Manley, Louis Camilleri, and Suzanne Heywood?

Sun, Jul 22 2018

MILAN – Fiat Chrysler aid on Saturday that boss Sergio Marchionne, 66, would not be returning to work because he was gravely ill. In addition to being FCA chief executive, Marchionne was also CEO and chairman of luxury sports car brand Ferrari and chairman of truck and tractor maker CNH Industrial, which were spun off from FCA in recent years. Following is a brief summary on the executives who have been appointed to replace him in the various roles: MIKE MANLEY The 54-year-old Briton picked to become the FCA's new CEO has been leading the group's top brand Jeep since 2009, first as Jeep President and CEO at Chrysler and then as FCA's Jeep head. In 2015 he was also appointed head of the Ram brand. Under his tenure, Jeep turned into a global brand becoming, together with Ram, FCA's profit engine. Jeep sold nearly 1.4 million cars last year compared with less than 338,000 in 2009. Manley had worked as DaimlerChrysler's head of network development in Britain since 2000, having earlier worked for several years in car dealership. At Chrysler, he headed product planning and all sales activities outside of North America and then became the group's chief operating officer for Asia and the lead executive for the international activities outside of NAFTA. LOUIS CAMILLERI The new Ferrari CEO was already a board member at the luxury sportscar maker before his latest appointment. He is also the chairman of Philip Morris International, where he also held the job of CEO from 2008 to 2013. Born in 1955, Camilleri had joined Altria Group, which controls Philip Morris, in 1978 holding various positions until he became chief financial officer in 1996 and then CEO in 2002. Camilleri was also chairman of Kraft Foods from 2002 to 2007. Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat wished Camilleri luck on Twitter saying he was proud to have "a bit of Malta in Ferrari" thanks to the new CEO, who was born in Egypt to Maltese parents. SUZANNE HEYWOOD The new, British-born chairwoman of CNH Industrial has been since 2016 the managing director of EXOR, the holding company through which the Agnelli family controls FCA. Heywood, 49, started her career at the British Treasury and then joined McKinsey in 1997, leading for many years the consultancy firm's global service line on organization design. She eventually became a senior partner there. Heywood sits on the board of The Economist, which is controlled by EXOR, and the board of the Royal Opera House, where she is also deputy chair.

Dodge Charger and Challenger go Plum Crazy for Woodward Dream Cruise

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Dodge will be rolling through a purple haze at the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise on August 15 with the reintroduction of Plum Crazy to the color options on most trims of the 2016 Challenger and Charger. To premiere the latest use of the wild shade, the brand's display at the annual Detroit-area automotive event will be showing off violet versions of the 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack. The brash tone originally debuted in 1970, but Dodge has kept the lavender hue special in recent years by limiting the option to specific trims. It was last offered during the 2014 model year on R/T and SRT trims of the two vehicles. Practically any buyer will be able to go Plum Crazy if they want. On the Challenger, the color will be available on the SXT Plus, R/T models, Hemi Scat Pack Shaker, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat trims. The choices for the Charger will be similarly broad, including the SXT when ordered with 20-inch wheels, R/T versions, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat. Customers desperately wanting a vehicle in the insanely violet shade will be able to place the first orders in September, and dealers will get the chance from October through the end of the year. Production of the lavender muscle cars will then commence in November. Dodge Debuts Plum Crazy Heritage Hue for 2016 Challenger and Charger at Woodward Dream Cruise, Provides Collector-demanded Production Numbers for High-impact Paint Colors New 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack Models in Plum Crazy Will Be Shown at the Dodge Display at 13 Mile and Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, Mich.
