If I could return to the days of my youth, and purchase a new car from a dealer, and then proceed to make the modifications we did in that era, this car represents what we would have done in the early seventies.    Cragar rims, upgraded suspension, bigger rear tires with a slightly raised back end and all the engine modifications that we could afford.    For two years, I have spared no expense in creating a muscle car from that era, a rare Dodge Demon model that has people hanging out their windows to take pictures of it like it was one of my Ferrari's.       I did not expect that!    Time brings unforeseen circumstances, and my wife and I had a 'surprise' baby last year.      For the right reasons, you should consider this car and how I brought it to its current condition...perhaps it's the same way you would have done it yourself:

- Interior:   stripped down, lined with DynaMat sound-proofing, including the trunk, 100 percent new interior with reliable Auto-Meter gages and a modern air-conditioning system.  Installed front and rear seat belts.  

- Suspension:   Bilstein gas shocks.     This is the best riding vintage car I have driven.

- Exhaust:  I tried two...scrapped one system for being too loud...ended up with a MagnaFlow mildy baffled system with cross-overs (eliminates back-fires).....with the DynaMat it sounds like a muscle car to pedestrians but is driveable on the inside.

- Paint, Finish:   A true $9,000 paint job by the local Ferrari-dealer authorized paint shop.    A rich red that is hard to appreciate from the photo's.   True perfection.     New bumpers, tail-lights (a 6 month wait for those!)   Fully finished trunk

- Engine:   a new MOPAR crate motor, 360 cubic inch, 400 HP, automatic with Hurst slap-stick, Holley 4BBL with a high-rise manifold, full aircraft grade fuel lines, Holley marine-grade fuel pump from a fuel-cell.    New everything (MSD Ignition, alternator, voltage regulator, fuel pump regulator, everything the best it can be.)

The total restoration cost was $38,000.00.    The reserve is substantially below this number.    The Demon production run was short and limited, objected to by the churches for having advertised the car in front of a church wedding and that created a howl amongst the conservatives!     I believe this is best Demon ever restored, at least among the best, and it is a rare car that will only increase in price.    Best of all, it's a fantastic driver!    Call my cell phone at 727-647-6499 if you want to chat about it.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.

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.

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles

Fri, Dec 7 2018

MILAN — 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
