1970 dodge charger 500, great restoration project I bought this car to restore. I just bought a numbers matching 70 R/T charger so I have to let this one go.
It was a 318 car originally and now has a healthy 400 in it. This is a very easy engine to stroke up to 500 or 512. Engine runs good and has headers already and does not smoke, was an a/c car but the components are missing from under the hood and dash. Transmission it came with was a 727 which was removed as it wasn't salvageable. So it was and is easily a running car, I drove it 1,000 miles when I bought it last year but will need a transmission of whatever flavor you want to put in it. Very solid body with nice frame rails, floor pans are so-so, trunk pan was done in fiberglass by someone, it's functional, roof is solid, bottom of back window is solid, solid fenders, solid doors, may need some quarter patches as it has rust and bondo in the quarters as usual. Was originally a vinyl roof car and those trims are present. Burnt orange metallic car with matching interior. They spray canned the car a matte black and added centerline mags as a Fast-n-furious type look I suppose. Windows are all present and work, they had been tinted very dark. fender tag is missing, but unless you are going for a return to 'as-built' condition you won't miss it. Dash gauges are all present and worked but were not calibrated properly. Dash itself is in pretty good condition and that's good as that tends to be an expensive part. Interior is original interior minus a headliner. Car ran and drove good but not sure if I would trust it on a long trip as it's biggest issue is wiring or lack of good wiring by previous owners. I have purchased a Ron Francis complete wiring kit for this car which can be included if the winning bidder wants to add it in for $400. Power drum brake car and the booster needs a new membrane as they don't have power but are manual drums right now. Overall a solid car that presents well even in this condition. I gauge it as about a medium resto project. A lot of detail work if you're going for an as stock restoration. If you are just building up a street prowling Mopar than a lot of the work can be even easier as you're not confined by concourse standards. Would make an excellent build for someone who has a little time to create a nice racer or pro street style Charger. Or just throw in a transmission, better wiring harness and a new brake booster and drive as is! Being a 318 car originally you can build it up or clone it into an R/T without altering one of the very valuable cars. The Car has a good street look and it can be built up to be a nasty street car or drag car. As I have several other cars to rebuild I need the money elsewhere. I was not going to sell this car but there's no sense in keeping it now that I have a fully restored R/T. |

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?
Sat, 26 Jan 2013Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.
Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures
Fri, Dec 19 2014Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.
Stellantis earnings rise along with EV sales
Wed, Feb 22 2023AMSTERDAM — Automaker Stellantis on Wednesday reported its earnings grew in 2022 from a year earlier and said its push into electric vehicles led to a jump in sales even as it faces growing competition from an industrywide shift to more climate-friendly offerings. Stellantis, formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, said net revenue of 179.6 billion euros ($191 billion) was up 18% from 2021, citing strong pricing and its mix of vehicles. It reported net profit of 16.8 billion euros, up 26% from 2021. Stellantis plans to convert all of its European sales and half of its U.S. sales to battery-electric vehicles by 2030. It said the strategy led to a 41% increase in battery EV sales in 2022, to 288,000 vehicles, compared with the year earlier. The company has “demonstrated the effectiveness of our electrification strategy in Europe,” CEO Carlos Tavares said in a statement. “We now have the technology, the products, the raw materials and the full battery ecosystem to lead that same transformative journey in North America, starting with our first fully electric Ram vehicles from 2023 and Jeep from 2024.” The automaker is competing in an increasingly crowded field for a share of the electric vehicle market. Companies are scrambling to roll out environmentally friendly models as they look to hit goals of cutting climate-changing emissions, driven by government pressure. The transformation has gotten a boost from a U.S. law that is rolling out big subsidies for clean technology like EVs but has European governments calling out the harm that they say the funding poses to homegrown industry across the Atlantic. Stellantis' Jeep brand will start selling two fully electric SUVs in North America and another one in Europe over the next two years. It says its Ram brand will roll out an electric pickup truck this year, joining a rush of EV competitors looking to claim a piece of the full-size truck market. The company plans to bring 25 battery-electric models to the U.S. by 2030. As part of that push, it has said it would build two EV battery factories in North America. A $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung will bring one of those facilities to Indiana, which is expected to employ up to 1,400 workers. The other factory will be in Windsor, Ontario, a collaboration with South KoreaÂ’s LG Energy Solution that aims to create about 2,500 jobs. The EV push comes amid a slowdown in U.S.
