Saint Louis, Missouri, United States

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.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.
I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
