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.

NHTSA closes investigation on 4.7M FCA power modules, no recall

Thu, Jul 30 2015

FCA US hasn't had the best time with recalls as of late. Not only did the company recently agree to greater safety oversight and paid $105 million to the government, that came just days after hacking fears prompted a 1.4-million model recall campaign. However, a recent decision to close an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration means that the automaker doesn't have to worry about another major recall possibly affecting 4.7 million vehicles, according to the agency's report (as a PDF). Last September, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate an alleged problem with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on these FCA US models. The group claimed that a fault with the component could cause a variety of maladies, including stalls, not starting, catching fire, unintended acceleration, and airbag non-deployment. At the time, it also submitted 70 cases where this had reportedly happened. According to NHTSA, "no valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components." The agency did find signs of an issue with the fuel pump relay in some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos, but FCA US issued recalls for the problem in September 2014 and February 2015. Without anything else to go on, the Feds don't think it's worth investigating this topic any more.

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles

Fri, Dec 7 2018

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is tapping executives from Amazon and Shell Oil Company with previous automotive industry experience to fill its ranks. CEO Mike Manley said in a letter to employees Thursday that Mark Stewart would join FCA as chief operating officer of North America from Amazon, "a company known for its culture of innovation, and obsession with delivering incredible value to customers." At Amazon, Stewart led teams focused on advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and automation methods. He previously was COO of ZF TRW automotive components supplier. Niel Golightly was named head of global communications. He was most recently Shell's vice president for external relations in North and South America, with a focus on reputation, brand and stakeholder engagement beyond communication strategies. He previously held roles at Ford Motor Company. Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM FCA Amazon shell Mike Manley

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
