This car has been mine for nearly 40 years.  It's been sitting idle since 1976, mostly indoors.

Needs a restoration.

Must be seen.

I've just pulled it out into the sun for a cleanup, an engine pull, and pics.  I will post more pics as the clean up progresses.

Some rust is evident but the need for panel replacement due to rust is doubtful.

Basically stock and unmolested with original manifolds, exhaust pipes and tail pipes.

Original windshield is nice.

Both bumpers are straight with original chrome.

Left side is damaged and needs a quarter panel hung and a fender (I have a full used quarter purchased around 1976 that's EXCEPTIONAL but I don't have the fender.).  Left fender, door, and quarter half were replaced with new in early 73 after a collision.  Door has some surface rust but is straight and undamaged with no cancerous rot.

Engine needs a rebuild as it sat without the air cleaner outdoors for awhile in the 80s and it took on some water.  It was disassembled to the shortblock and has been pulled but the shortblock has not yet been disassembled for inspection.  Some pieces are missing.

Transmission shifted impressively when parked and has never been apart but it did have a governor problem.

4.10 Dana rear axle was tight and sound and the fluid was exchanged at least once before parked.

Much of the interior is sound as is. 

Original trunk mat is included but weathered and I have the jack.  4 NOS RWL Polyglas G70s are also included as well as the original RWL Polyglas G70 14 spare T&W that has traveled only a few miles.

Front bumper is sound and included.

36,000 miles.

Exposed headlights and louvered hood.

The ORIGINAL 14x6 (Magnum type) Road Wheels go with it.

NOT your typical Mopar muscle car.  This is a virgin car that awaits a buyer who wants a stunning piece to build and enjoy that won't be mistaken for the typical orange or purple piece that's been apart and rebuilt at least once by multiple owners since new.  Is that you? 

I first rode in this car in June 1971 and owned it several years later and have owned it ever since.

I replaced the original 440 badges on the hood in the first hour of ownership to keep the thieves at bay and to help attract innocent prey and they are still in place.

Questions?  Please ask and yes the fender tag is attached and yes I have the build sheets.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/videos]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Darrell Waltrip once said, "If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting." The sentiment behind that aphorism is causing my adrenal gland to wake up as Dodge and SRT drivers and engineers - somber-faced to a man - give me the track talk that will precede my driving the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT on the circuit at Portland International Raceway. PIR might not be Daytona, and the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat might seem tame to a legend like ol' Jaws, but there's a not-small part of me that's thinking about how hard Dodge's fire-breathing kitty might bite.
Just a few hours previous, I'd gotten behind the wheel of the Hellcat for the first time, letting its hyperbole-spitting, supercharged V8 Hemi pull me yieldingly through Portland's morning commuter traffic. Lulled into a cocky certainty by the Challenger's good manners at low speed, I drove the throttle just a hair too deep, too fast when I ran on to the highway ramp. For just an instant the rear tires were utterly drenched in torque, and the back end of the big Dodge loosened up like a drift car on a wet track. Throttle steer lives at the fleeting whim of your right foot in this car.
It was no big thing to lay off the gas and pull the Hellcat back in line as I entered the highway, but the incident did get me to thinking: What will this car do to me on a road course?

Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger

Tue, Dec 17 2019

MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.
