Nashville Nationals May 16, 17, & 18 at LP Field, Tennessee Titan Stadium, 1
Titans Way, Nashville, TN 37213. It will

e-bay auction. Thank you for taking the time to
learn about my 1970 Dodge Charger - General Lee In 1970, the Charger changed slightly from the previous
1968 and 1969 models. This would be the last year of the 2nd generation Charger
and featured a large wraparound chrome bumper and the grille was no longer
divided in the middle. New electric headlight doors replaced the old vacuum style.
The taillights were similar to those used in 69, but 500 and R/T models came
with a new more attractive taillight panel. When I took possession of the car a
few days before Christmas 2013, It supposedly only needed a few things that
could be accomplished with a couple of weekends worth of work. This of course turned out not to be
true. The previous owner told me the 318 engine and TorqueFlite trans both had less than 5k miles since being rebuilt. The motor checked out fine and runs
great. The transmission was another
story. I had to have a reputable
transmission shop go through it and do a rebuild. (April 2014) Prior to me purchasing the car the
previous owner performed the following: ·
2 NEW Quarter panels installed ·
New windshield installed ·
New gas tank and sender unit
installed ·
New Falcon racing tires mounted on correct
General Lee Wheels ·
New Engine and Trans mounts
installed ·
New carpet and Dyno Mating installed It reportedly only needed the drive
shaft to be shortened (Because the motor and trans had come out of a running,
driving dodge pick-up truck), brakes, headlights and finishing of wiring. The car now runs and drives fine. As I mentioned before the, I the transmission rebuilt. I had to purchase a new carburetor. The brakes were a nightmare, but are now all new, including a new master cylinder. I installed brand new exhaust from the manifolds back, and installed a working Dixie horn. The previous owner told me he had over $15,000 into it, and I believe it. I have about $5000 more into it. I realize this is not a $20,000 car, but it is a real 1970 Dodge Charger that came with air-conditioning from the factory. The paint and body work are extremely amateur and it looks like a General Lee after it has been jumped a few times. The car is a lot of fun to drive around town and everyone wants to take a picture with it. Starts, runs and stops good. Thanks for looking |

Legacy Classic Power Wagon First Drive
Wed, Oct 7 2015Shortly before the US entered World War II, Dodge supplied the military with a line of pickups internally codenamed WC, those letters designating the year 1941 and the half-ton payload rating. From 1941 to 1945 Dodge built more than a quarter million of them, and even though "WC" came to refer to the Weapons Carrier body style, the WC range served in 38 different configurations from pickup trucks to ambulances to six-wheeled personnel and weapons haulers. The story is that soldiers returning from active duty badgered Dodge for a civilian version of that indefatigable warhorse, so Dodge responded with the Power Wagon in 1946. Even for those no-nonsense times the truck was so austere that the first three names Dodge gave it were "Farm Utility Truck," "WDX General Purpose Truck," and "General Purpose, One Ton Truck." "Power Wagon" was the fourth choice, not finalized until just before it went on sale. Nothing like today's Power Wagon, the original could be seen as either a glorified tractor or a slightly less uncouth military vehicle – hell-for-leather meant going 50 miles per hour. But it would go nearly anywhere. The civilian version was still built like it had to survive, well, a world war; power take-offs (PTOs) ran all manner of ancillaries; multiplicative gear ratios helped it produce enough torque to make an earthquake envious. Said to be the first civilian 4x4 truck made in America, any organization that needed a simple, sturdy mechanized draught animal knew it needed a Power Wagon.

If that history, the aura of war, and the ruthless functionality attract you but the mean comforts and 70-year-old manners don't, then you need to get in touch with Legacy Classic Trucks. The Jackson Hole, WY, restorer retains every ounce of the Power Wagon's orchard-work aptitude, decorated with present-day amenities and the best components. Each job starts with having to find a usable donor. The city of Breckenridge, CO, bought the red truck in our gallery in 1947 and used it as a snowplow for the next 30 years. In 1977 a log-home builder bought it from the city and used it for another decade as a company hauler. That's the kind of grueling longevity that lets Ram put a five-figure premium on the 2500 Power Wagon pickup it sells today. Legacy Classics founder Winslow S.
Stellantis and LG launch joint venture for North American battery plant
Mon, Oct 18 2021Stellantis has struck a preliminary deal with battery maker LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America, as the world's No. 4 automaker rolls out its 30 billion euro ($35 billion) electrification plan. Global automakers are investing billions of euros to accelerate a transition to low-emission mobility and prepare for a progressive phase-out of internal combustion engines. Stellantis and LGES's joint venture will produce battery cells and modules at a new facility with an annual capacity of 40 gigawatt hours (GWh), the two firms said on Monday. No financial details of the deal were provided. The plant is scheduled to start production by the first quarter of 2024, with groundbreaking expected in the second quarter of 2022, the companies said in their statement. Its location is under review and will be announced later. Stellantis, formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has said it wants to secure more than 130 GWh of global battery capacity by 2025 and more than 260 GWh by 2030. The batteries produced under the deal will supply Stellantis' U.S., Canadian and Mexican assembly plants for installation in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, supporting its goal of e-vehicles making up more than 40% of its U.S. sales by 2030. The company, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Opel and U.S. best-sellers Jeep and Ram, earlier this year announced it would invest more than 30 billion euros through 2025 on electrifying its vehicle lineup. Stellantis has said it would build three battery plants in Europe and two in North America, including at least one in the United States. Intesa Sanpaolo analyst Monica Bosio said the deal was positive, and a further step ahead in Stellantis' electrification process. It comes weeks after Stellantis and its partner TotalEnergies agreed to open up their battery cell joint venture ACC to Daimler, to expand their European sourcing of battery cells. Stellantis is also targeting more than 70% of sales in Europe to be of low-emission vehicles by 2030, and aims to make the total cost of owning an EV equal to that of a gasoline-powered model by 2026.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
