Well I'm sure no expert on Mopars, but I received this 1965 convertible from a 70 year old man with  heart problems.

 This is what I call a "Barn Find". He brought it from California with plans to restore it, and fix it up.

He has bought some parts for it etc. It has been sitting idle for a  year (and maybe more?)
I believe he had big plans to restore it, but health issues have gotten in his way.
 
Here is what I can tell you about the car...

This Dodge will need whatever sitting idle for that long would dictate. (New battery, fluids clean fuel. etc.) 

It has not been driven in quite some time.
The car has a 440 V-8 with a torqueflite automatic transmission.

 The engine is hot rodded up a bit, and looks to have all the normal goodies.
 This would make a neat daily driver or better yet,  it might be a car, you could fully restore.

 It has the factory bucket seats with a console.
The trunk has a little rust, but the floors, frame, engine compartment, etc. are excellent.

I have a clear  and open California title for it as well as all the spare parts he bought for it.(included).
I wish I knew more about it, but it's just how it came out of storage, and just as I recieved it.

Since it's a 1965 it also might make a neat Hemi-clone car? (just a thought). It reminds me of the famed "Dick landy" 65' Pro-stocker.
  
It is 50 year old and I am selling it as-is. It's a bit of a project, but if your somewhat mechanical, this may be right up your alley?
I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in anyway.

This car was running and driving when he last parked it into storage. If I do not sell it "as-is", I will get it all serviced and running, and re-list it accordingly. 

My opening bid is $ 5,500.00 with no reserve.  I think that whoever ends up with it will be very pleased. I can't imagine finding a neater, or a more nostalgic big-block / convertible like this for the price. 
Terms of sale...

I can not ship.....  This means I can not crate, box, disassemble, or deliver to a shipping company.  I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can.

If you have zero feedback, contact me before you bid or your bid will be canceled, and you will be blocked from further bidding as well. 

A $200.00 non-refundable deposit through Pay Pal is required within 48 hours of auction's end. 

PayPal is acceptable for the deposit only.

  The balance is due via bank/certified check, or cash in person within 7 days of the auctions end.  If you are an out of the states buyer, I will gladly work with you in regards to the time and details it takes to process payment. 

Thank you

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.

Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity

Wed, May 19 2021

MILAN — 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.

Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
