Hi everybody. This beast belongs to my neighbor who is not internet active. He has been tinkering with this machine for as long as I have been his neighbor, and he loves the car very much, but must sell it for health reasons. So I offered to list it for him. 

I sat down with him and he told me all about the car, and took me for a ride. 

The car is a 1969 DODGE CORONET R/T 440 CONVERTIBLE. It is red with black trim, black interior, and a beautiful black top that functions perfectly on this convertible. 

73,511 miles

IT IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO! He has the original radio and will include it in this auction. The car runs and drives very well and is fully functional. 

He bought this car NEW in February of 1970 and has the original title! 

I confirmed online that it is one of only 317 made. He thinks it may be rarer than that, as it has some special features that may make it one of a kind. It was built by Dodge for the dealership owner at North Shore Dodge here in Wisconsin, and he thinks Dodge might have given it special touches for the dealer, like the front AND rear bumper guards on the chrome fenders. Other features: 

  • 440 automatic
  • 3.23 Rear End
  • Original Drivetrain 
  • MANUAL BRAKES
  • Oversize Drums
  • Bubble Hood
  • Low back buckets
  • Power Steering
  • Lighting Group
  • Firestone 500 Tires
  • Radiator is painted but original
  • Replaced water pump - will include original
  • Replaced alternator
  • Replaced brake lines and rebuilt wheel cylinders about 15 years ago
  • Needs tail pipes and mufflers are starting to go
  • Needs heat raiser spring
  • Needs column rebuild
  • Trunk and floors are still SOLID
  • Doors have nicks and small dents but no rust!
Ready to be restored! 

He would love to speak with you about your plans. Please come see the car in person if you can! Run any questions by me via email and I will go next door and ask him. 

You can see some bondo in the pictures and there is some rust in the places you would expect. 

Let me know if there are other pics or videos you want me to take and I will email them to you, as eBay allows only 24 pics. 

We went for a ride and the car sounds angry in an awesome way. I videotaped our short ride for you but the video does not do the growl of this car any justice. I also did a video of the engine, and a short video of the top closing. eBay won't let me include the links, so please go to YouTube and do a search for each of the following codes to see each video:

If you are out of town I can help you set up shipping via my friends at uship.com. Buyer is of course responsible for shipping costs. 

$250 due within 3 days. Full payment due within 10 days. 

Thanks for checking it out and be sure to send me your questions! I have perfect feedback that I am willing to put on the line to help out my neighbor who needs to pay some health bills.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.

Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected

Thu, Jul 8 2021

MILAN — Stellantis softened up investors ahead of its electrification strategy event on Thursday by flagging that 2021 got off to a better-than-expected start despite a chip shortage that has hit automakers worldwide. Stellantis, which was formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, faces an investor community keen to hear how it plans to come up with a range of electrified vehicles (EVs) to rival Tesla. At its "EV Day 2021" kicking off at 1230 GMT, Stellantis will disclose significant investments in electrification technology and connected software as it aims to be an industry frontrunner, it said in a statement. In April, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said it would offer low-emission versions — either battery or hybrid electric — of almost all of its European models by 2025, and they should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales by 2030. Stellantis, the world's fourth-biggest automaker, has 14 brands in its stable, including Jeep, Ram, Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati.   Stellantis EV Day coverage: Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected   At a similar EV strategy event last week, French rival Renault announced that 90% of its main brand models would be all-electric by 2030, whereas previously it had included hybrids in its target. Germany's Volkswagen, the world's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, expects all-electric vehicles to make up 55% of its total sales in Europe by 2030, and more than 70% of sales at its Volkswagen brand. Stellantis said its margins on adjusted operating profits in the first half of 2021 were expected to exceed an annual target of between 5.5% and 7.5%, despite production losses due to a global shortage of semiconductor supplies. Stellantis shares listed in Milan were down 2.6% at 0920 GMT, underperforming the broader European car index. Bestinver analyst Marco Opipari said Thursday's news was positive but that the stock was suffering from profit taking as it had moved up about 20% since the end of April.
