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

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep

Wed, Oct 28 2020

MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot

Dodge Challenger Hellcat valet mode angers parking attendant

Thu, Mar 10 2016

I spent over three years as a valet. It was good money and an excellent second job when I was getting my start as a writer – ten hours per week at the small restaurant I worked for was good for anywhere from $150 to $250. Over those years, I can say with absolute confidence I never goofed off in someone's car. Unfortunately, not all valets are so trustworthy. Like these idiots. Apparently, a Dodge Challenger Hellcat owner captured the valets at Universal Studios in Florida on his dashcam messing about behind the wheel of his 707-horsepower muscle car. One valet is behind the wheel and there's another riding shotgun as they aimlessly wander about the parking lot, lamenting the fact that the owner (wisely) engaged valet mode before handing over the keys. "We can't do anything," they whine. The owner, for his part, seemed pretty cool about the whole thing, writing in the YouTube description that he purposely kicked up the exposure at the end of the video to hide the identities of the valets. He also added that they didn't do anything wrong – this former valet agrees to disagree, based on the over four minutes it takes to actually park the car – and that he was thankful for valet mode. You can check out the video above – be warned, though, there is some language in it. And remember, if you valet your car, use valet mode, check the odometer when you drop off and pick up, and if everything checks out, give the poor guys a tip. Want more recent Hellcat news? Check out the Wrangler Trailcat concept headed to the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, photos of a possible Hellcat HD Ram pickup, and spy shots of the Hellcat-engined Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. It's been a good week for 707-hp Mopars. Related Video:
