1970 Dodge Charger, 383 car, cloned to the General Lee (but with a 70 grill). Overall a very good driver, drum brakes, brand new tires, glass pack exhaust exhaust gives a strong sound to the car, dixie horn works great and is loud.

Mechanical: Transmission seals take a little bit of time to engage when you first start the car and put it into reverse. After it "pumps up" there is no problem, just you will experience a delay on start up. I took it to a local shop that's been around a while, they told me it's a typical problem with the seals. Again, after about 10-20 seconds and thereafter there is no problem, just at start-up only. Shifter looks very nice, but is a little sloppy, probably could use adjustment. The exhaust has the short "glass pack" type mufflers on it, so it ends about 3ft after the headers. Sounds really good, not too loud but does rumble. A/C does not work, Radio doesn't work, I think turn signals etc work, headlights do not currently work - wiring is there so should be something easy. Headlight door motor is in the trunk, so you manually have to lift the headlight doors. All pretty easy stuff to fix. Car drives great, get in and go, no bad vibrations or anything like that, solid driver car.

Paint: Has a good shine to it, but has many scratches here and there. 5 footer car.

Interior: The front seats are from a '73 Charger SE, I do not have the original 70 buckets. Everything else appears to be original in the interior.

Rust: Car has rust in the frame in the front where the "tow hooks" would go, and in the outer torque boxes. The patch panels for the torque boxes are $149 each, front frame just needs some metal cut to fit and weld in. I do not see a major issue, just typical Charger stuff. Rear frame rails look good, I do not see any repair necessary. Floor pans in front need replacement, someone placed the replacement pans under the carpet and I've been driving it this way in the dry Texas weather. But to be right, it would need to be attended to.

This car gets ridiculous attention, so be prepared. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

I am an honest Ebayer and expect the same from potential buyers. My feedback is 100% and I expect to keep it that way. International buyers are welcome, check my feedback for other vehicles I have sold worldwide. All funds must post to my account before the car leaves my possession.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding. Be sure to check my other auctions for a few other cars I am selling to fund my new projects (1969 Dodge Charger, 1968 Chevelle, 1969 Firebird)

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.

Stellantis wants to trim 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs, UAW says

Wed, Apr 26 2023

WASHINGTON — Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV wants to cut approximately 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs and is offering voluntary exit packages, according to a United Auto Workers union letter made public Tuesday. The automaker is looking to reduce its hourly workforce offering incentive packages that include $50,000 payments for workers hired before 2007, UAW Local 1264 said in a letter dated Monday posted on its Facebook page. Stellantis spokeswoman Jodi Tinson declined to comment. A person briefed on the matter said the figure might be lower than the figure cited in the UAW letter. In late February, Stellantis indefinitely halted operations at an assembly plant in Illinois, citing rising costs of electric vehicle production. The action impacted about 1,350 workers at the Belvidere, Illinois, plant that built the Jeep Cherokee SUV and resulted in indefinite layoffs. The automaker has warned it may not resume operations as it considers other options. The UAW letter said openings created by workers leaving would be filled by workers on indefinite layoff. Stellantis said in February that about 40,000 U.S. hourly workers were eligible for profit sharing. Last week, UAW President Shawn Fain said Stellantis' decision to idle the Illinois plant was "a flat-out violation" of the union's contract with the UAW and is unacceptable. The UAW will enter talks with the Detroit Three before labor contracts expire in mid-September. Earlier this month, General Motors said about 5,000 salaried workers accepted buyouts to leave the automaker. GM CEO Mary Barra said February job cuts of a few hundred jobs and the 5,000 buyouts "provided approximately $1 billion towards" a $2 billion cost cutting target. Ford Motor Co recently announced significant job cuts in Spain, Germany and other parts of Europe and in August said it would cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
