No zero feedback bidders without prior authorization For Sale is a super rare 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix with completely rebuilt, smooth running, high torque and high horsepower 426 engine. This car has a low reserve. The car has a completely rebuilt, rare, 426 engine. The casting number is 1852029 which means it is a 1963-65, 426 C.I. with a nickel strengthened steel block. The engine was professionally built about 2500 miles ago and punched out to a 440. The previous owner, who was in very poor health and had to sell the car, had all the work done in Milwaukee, so I do not know all the exact specs or know everything about the engine. The engine has 440 heads on it with porting and polishing, and valve work done. I do not know the exact cam, but it is a mid-range rpm cam. It has an Edelbrock aluminum performer RPM, dual Plane intake with a powder coated Holley 650 carb. The radiator is a 4 core aluminum radiator for extra cooling. The engine has a MSD electronic ignition and coil. The transmission is a rebuilt 727 with shift kit, that still retains the push button shifting and tranny equipped parking brake. The front brakes have been changed to disc brakes. This is a 4 door hardtop which is the rare post free Dodge Dart Phoenix. Dodge only made 20,216 four-door hardtops, and of these around 6,000 were Phoenix models. When front and rear windows are rolled down there is no post separation between front and back. The dodge dart phoenix is the rarest of the Dodge Darts and the luxury top of the line model above the Seneca and Pioneer. 1960 was the first year of the Dodge dart. This Phoenix originally came with a 318 V8, but now has the much more powerful 426. The interior has been reupholstered in thicker red and black vinyl. Overall this is one cheap hot rod that gets all the looks. According to the last owner there is less than 50 still registered in the US. Condition: Although this car is not perfect it is a pretty nice car, and would be a great starting point for further restoration. This is an older restoration and but the overall condition is good. The engine is about perfect. The power steering pump leaks a little from one of the seals, and will need rebuilt eventually. The battery has a quick disconnect on it, which I take off when the car sits for a period of time to keep the battery from going dead. There might be a small draw from somewhere in the car. The underside of the car is coated in rust proof coating. This car is almost rust free, with 3 small bubbles on hood as shown in the pictures. A couple of the trim pieces have dents in them, but the car is almost perfectly straight. The floor boards solid and the trunk pan looks like it was replaced at one time. The dash is in pretty good shape, but needs some touch up work. Some of the chrome pieces have pitting on them. The car has a cd player installed, which was poorly done, I have an original radio which will go with the car, I did not install it. The glove box has the liner taken out and a speaker was installed. The glove box liner comes with the car and is in the trunk. The sun visors are not installed and also in the trunk. The headliner is wrinkled in spots, and has a small repair job behind the rear seats. The trim and chrome around the car is original and has small pitting and scratches. The rear bumper is the worst of the chrome, and the door handles and roof vents have the worst surface pitting. The chrome around the window vents is very good on the outside but only fair to decent on the inside. The car was repainted about 5 years ago, and takes a great shine. There are some spots on the passenger door that were touched up, and also on the front fender. Some of the original chrome has some pitting. Overall this is a cool car that grabs a lot of attention. It runs and drives well, quite powerful, and a really kind of a hot rod sleeper. Comes with Owners manual, and car brochure.

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles
Fri, Dec 7 2018MILAN — 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
Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns
Wed, May 4 2016These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger
Wed, Dec 18 2019MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.
