Welcome to my auction, you will not see another Charger like this for a long time, this is a true barn find. This is a 3 owner 1971 triple black Charger SE. This is one of the nicest rollers you will ever find. It is a TRUE high price grade, special edition, 383 CI, 727 auto, black sport vinyl top, black paint, black interior, black carpet, black headliner, black instrument cluster, optioned yellow stripe, with hidden headlights. The best part about this Charger? There is absolutely no rot ANYWHERE on the car, not a bubble, not a hole, nothing but a little surface rust in the trunk and a bit more on the upper windshield under the weather stripping. That is it in terms of rust repair. The car does not have an engine or transmission, I have looked for the original engine and transmission but the original owner did not keep them. The car also needs new wheels and tires, the current set up holds air for a couple days but are not safe to drive on. There is no carpet in the car, but that does make it easy to see the rust free floor pans. There is some body work needed on the front passenger side quarter panels, but the panel does not need to be replaced, there is also a very thin layer of bondo on the driver's side door that has began to crack. There does not appear to be any other bondo on the car. There are the usual dings and scratched on the body. The seats are in great condition, as are the instrument cluster, there are a couple cracks on the dash pad. There is no frame damage, and the undercoating is still preset on most of the parts on the undercarriage. When the engine was removed no other parts were taken off, so the motor for the headlights and all wiring is still present and appear to be in working order. A little history of This car. It was bought new in Gilroy CA, the original 383 blew up in 1973, the engine and transmission were removed, the car was then parked in a barn until 1983. It was unfortunately out of the DMV's system during this time. It was bought by a mechanic in Lake County CA, The car was given another 383 and 727 combo in 2002, the block then cracked in 2003, the mechanic then removed the engine and transmission and put it in storage. I bought it from the second owner. Please ask any and all questions before bidding (including asking your wife, or girlfriend if you can bid). I can give you pictures of anything you want, just ask. I require a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction and either a cashier's check or cash when you come to pick up the Charger. You can come look at it if you live in the Sonoma County area and I encourage you to do so. I will under no circumstances ship this car out of America, do not ask, this is an American muscle car and will stay in America. I will be happy to work with shipping companies to ship anywhere in the USA though. This Charger is being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied. Clear title in hand.
Good Luck and Happy Bidding!

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity
Wed, May 19 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.

Are supercars becoming less special?
Thu, Sep 3 2015There's little doubt that we are currently enjoying the golden age of automotive performance. Dozens of different models on sale today make over 500 horsepower, and seven boast output in excess of 700 hp. Not long ago, that kind of capability was exclusive to supercars – vehicles whose rarity, performance focus, and requisite expense made them aspirational objects of desire to us mortals. But more than that, supercars have historically offered a unique driving experience, one which was bespoke to a particular model and could not be replicated elsewhere. But in recent years, even the low-volume players have been forced to find the efficiencies and economies of scale that formerly hadn't been a concern for them, and in turn the concept of the supercar as a unique entity unto itself is fading fast. The blame doesn't fall on one particular manufacturer nor a specific production technique. Instead, it's a confluence of different factors that are chipping away at the distinction of these vehicles. It's not all bad news – Lamborghini's platform sharing with Audi for the Gallardo and the R8 yielded a raging bull that was more reliable and easier to live with on a day-to-day basis, and as a result it went on to become the best-selling Lambo in the company's history. But it also came at the cost of some of the Italian's exclusivity when eerily familiar sights and sounds suddenly became available wearing an Audi badge. Even low-volume players have been forced to find economies of scale. Much of this comes out of necessity, of course. Aston Martin's recent deal with Mercedes-AMG points toward German hardware going under the hood and into the cabin of the upcoming DB11, and it's safe to assume that this was not a decision made lightly by the Brits, as the brand has built a reputation for the bespoke craftsmanship of its vehicles. There's little doubt that the DB11 will be a fine automobile, but the move does jeopardize some of the characteristic "specialness" that Astons are known for. Yet the world is certainly better off with new Aston Martins spliced with DNA from Mercedes-AMG rather than no new Astons at all, and the costs of developing cutting-edge drivetrains and user interfaces is a burden that's becoming increasingly difficult for smaller manufacturers to bear. Even Ferrari is poised to make some dramatic changes in the way it designs cars.
