Here we have a 1968 Dodge Dart that I recently took in as partial payment against another Mopar that I had . Originally it was a Dart 270 but it now it has a 440 motor with the famed six pack set-up and a 727 auto trans with a Dana 60 in the rear with a posi and 4:11 gears. And the car is supposed to be set up by a NASCAR DRIVER/MECHANIC but I cannot prove or disprove that statement. But as you can see there is some high dollar parts that go with this car as it was set-up to simply be a cool go-fast car and that is it. It is NOT A SHOW CAR but it is a cool looking car with the right motor and a really nice interior but the body work is amateurish with a few waves and misaligned body lines. So if you are looking for perfection you should keep looking but if you are just looking for a cool go fast car this just might be the one.

Now let me tell you a little more about the car in detail. First off the color is sublime green with a black tail stripe and a black six-pack hood. All new suspension painted and powder coated, Nascar style 3-piece sway bar up front (will need a front end alignment), All new front disk brakes with chrome hard lines and steel braided flex lines at each wheel, 11” performance drums in the back with New shocks both front and rear with the rear being air shocks, A narrowed Dana 60 with a 4:11 posi rear gear and 35 Spline Moser billet axles with top links on axle tubes to help prevent axle wrap, A  rebuilt manual reverse pattern valve body 727 with a deep aluminum racing tranny pan and a new 3500 Boss hog stall converter with a new  B&M pistol grip ratchet shifter, The battery was moved to the rear of the car but the battery box was made to look like a piece of luggage and not just a ugly battery box. Most of the bolts have been replaced with stainless steel or ceramic chromed, Has frame connecters that are welded in and the whole underbody is undercoated, The fuel tank is clean and ready for fuel and I has a sump with a Edelbrock quiet electric fuel pump(relayed switch is under the dash for on or off with key ignition.

It is also wearing brand new Coker red line tires stretched over brand new(painted to match) wheels with deep dish on the rear(215 up front and 255 for the rear and 15x8 front and 15x10 rear ). As for the interior it has  new carpet, new windshield, new wood grain steering wheel  and a hidden master power switch under the dash with removable key but sorry no radio.

Under the hood has also been prepped for the motor and as you can see it has a all aluminum  radiator with a stainless steel shroud and electric fan set-up(thermal activated switch with override under dash)  and a stainless overflow tank. New wiring harness, Now for the motor it is a early 70s 440 with rebuilt like new 906 six pack heads that have been ported and have larger manley valves, springs and retainers, The rods are Childs & Albert  billet rods. As for the pistons they are new 30 over forged  trw  domed pistons (11:1) with a new hydraulic purple .531 cam and new comp lifters plus a New double roller timing chain. It also has a new aluminum water pump, New oil pan with a new high volume oil pump, New chrome balancer , Chrome one wire alternator with the brackets, Aluminum pulleys and Mopar aluminum valve covers, msd distributor and all arp studs (heads and mains),  and all the gaskets needed for assembly of the motor. And to sit on top of this monster is an aluminum six-pack intake with holley carbs (2-350 cfm and 1- 500 cfm modified to fit the six pack intake so now all 3 carbs have metering blocks and power  valves for better tuning) . The block will need machining and the crank will need to be turned(neither have been turned or bored)  So that is what this car has to offer. Like I said earlier it is not a show car but just a cool go fast car that is about 90% complete but needs to be put back together by somebody looking for that cool, cool car.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding on this car as there is no warranty or guarantees on this car.( after all it is a 45 year old car)  Either  you can call me at 231-206-5258 my name is Kirk or email me thru ebay’s  ask seller a question. Well good luck if you bid on my car………………..see-ya

Dukes of Hazzard reruns dropped amid Confederate flag controversy

Thu, Jul 2 2015

Those Duke boys are in a mess of trouble again, as TV Land announced Wednesday that it will be dropping the classic 1980s action-comedy the Dukes of Hazzard from its roster. But it may not be Bo and Luke's fault this time. Rather, it appears to be the changing political landscape. Entertainment Weekly reached out to TV Land, which is devoted to airing episodes of classic TV series, but it had no further comment. While the network didn't say why the episodes were removed, EW speculates that the cancellation is part of the reaction to the racially motivated murder of nine people in a historic black church in Charleston, SC, last month. The shooter was often photographed carrying a Confederate flag and other trappings of white supremacy. Since the tragedy, Confederate flags are being dropped from state houses, license plates, and toys. Last month, Warner Bros. said it would stop producing toys featuring the rebel flag, including a die cast miniature version of the Dukes of Hazzard's trademark ride, The General Lee, which was a bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag plastered to the roof. The same week as the shooting, the Supreme Court decided that states can reject license plates featuring the stars and bars as part of the states' right to free speech. Nine states currently use the flag in license plates, and the ruling will allow Texas, North Carolina, and Tennessee to remove the motif from their state's plates. Georgia is also considering redesigning its plates in the wake of the shooting. For our younger readers, the Dukes Of Hazzard was a television show that aired from 1979 to 1985 on CBS. It feature the antics of the Duke boys in a fictional place called Hazzard County, GA. Related Video:

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.

Stellantis reports surprising 2020 results, is 'off to a flying start'

Wed, Mar 3 2021

MILAN — Low global car inventories and cost cuts should boost Stellantis's profit margins this year, though a shortage of semiconductors and investments in electric vehicles could weigh on results, the newly-formed automaker said on Wednesday. The forecast came as Stellantis, created by the January merger of Peugeot-maker PSA and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), reported better-than-expected results for 2020 that sent its shares up around 3% in morning trading. "Stellantis gets off to a flying start and is fully focused on achieving the full promised synergies (from the merger)," Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said in a statement. Stellantis is the world's fourth largest carmaker, with 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati. It said 2021 results should be helped by three new high-margin Jeep vehicles in North America and a strong pricing environment there. The U.S. market has driven profits for years at FCA and starts off as the strongest part of Stellantis. The group's guidance assumes no more significant lockdowns caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which shuttered auto plants around the world last spring. Stellantis should also get a lift as its starts to implement a plan aimed at delivering over 5 billion euros a year in savings, without closing any plants. Tavares has also pledged not to cut jobs. But a pandemic-related global shortage of semiconductors, used for everything from maximizing engine fuel economy to driver-assistance features, could hurt business. Auto industry executives have said the shortage should ease by the second half of 2021. Stellantis said its "electrification offensive" could also weigh on results this year. Automakers are racing to develop electric vehicles to meet tighter CO2 emissions targets in Europe and this week Volvo joined a growing number of carmakers aiming for a fully-electric line-up by 2030. Stellantis plans to have fully-electric or hybrid versions of all of its vehicles available in Europe by 2025, broadly in line with plans at top rivals such as Volkswagen and Renault-Nissan, although Stellantis has further to go to meet that goal. The carmaker is targeting an adjusted operating profit margin of 5.5%-7.5% this year. That compares with a 5.3% aggregated margin last year: 4.3% at FCA and 7.1% at PSA excluding a controlling stake in parts maker Faurecia, which is set to be spun-off from Stellantis shortly.
