Dodge Custom Royal Lancer, 1957 D-500 Hemi Powered, Not Plymouth, Desoto, Chrys on 2040-cars
Manchester, Connecticut, United States
AACA NATIONAL FIRST PLACE WINNER HERSHEY, PA. You are looking at I believe the finest example of a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer available anywhere. It is 1 of only 243 built by Dodge in 1957 and I know of no others available. It's condition leaves nothing to the imagination or desire. Most of the car is original to include the chrome [only two pieces redone] the interior [ only the carpeting and package tray changed because of fading]. The drive train is all original with the five numbers matching required for the D-500 HEMI OPTION. The engine is stamped as it is supposed to be as is the heads, the oversized radiator, the torque flight 3-speed transmission, and the Suregrip rear end. The car runs perfectly and does not miss a beat. It is turn key and ready to drive to the show your choice. This car has over 100 trophies/awards and includes the Mopar Regional "BEST OF SHOW" and the Mopar in Motion "BEST OF SHOW" plus so many PEOPLES CHOICE AWARDS. Mechanically the 12.5 inch brakes are all done to include a new master cylinder, all new steel radial tires including the spare, new exhaust system front to back, and the front end steering is dead on target. The body is all original never rusted or having any panel replaced. They are only new once in their lifetime and this one is still like that. There are some small road chips that are so small and don't show to touch them up. You should know that the car had the front end repainted over 20 years ago while the balance of the car is nearly all original and extraordinary. At the same time the front end was repainted, the engine compartment was freshened as was the engine. All remains spectacular today and attracts attention more than any car I have ever owned. The trunk is filled with all sorts of new parts like gasket kits, heater hose, radiator hoses, tune up parts and filters, spare tail lights, etc. I am selling this car because I have to and with dire reservations. If I had a good solid car of the same vintage, and someone were to give me $50,000 to restore it, I could never make it the quality of this car . It is coming out in another advertisement and if sold there, I reserve the right to pull the ad from Ebay. You can look at the pictures and if you have any other questions, let me know. I know that chrome is always a valid consideration as it is so expensive to redue correctly. Let me assure you, You cannot get N.O.S. chrome better than what is on this car. You will see a little pollen dust that appears only. No defects. Also, the steering wheel is perfect with no form of cracks, fading or ware, and the horn ring is excellent. The door panels and seats are all original material from the factory and beautiful. To save the seat material, the original cotton threads was rotting from age and redone with nylon thread for lasting. You have to understand, the seat material is gone forever to never be available for anyone to redue. Someone would have to do it incorrectly and as the Lancer only came with what you see. I have many other pictures that I can forward for your review. Ebay only has the provisions for 24 pictures in the listing. Send your email address and I will forward to you if you need to see more. I am listing the "Buy It Now" lower than it should be. I will never be able to replace the car for the asking price. Whoever wins the car will have the best of a very rare and desirable car. Should the car go overseas, I will assist with the coordination of shipping. I know as I have sold a lot of Mopar items to Sweden in the past and had to assist. Happy bidding. |

Dodge Charger Pursuit takes Tesla interior approach
Fri, Sep 11 2015A police car's computer is just as integral to its duties as a set of lights and sirens. The popular approach for these systems is to grab something like a Panasonic Toughbook laptop, add a big, bulky tray to hold it, and use this inelegant setup for running plates and doing all the other things a cop needs to do while on the road. The downside, besides simple aesthetics, is that this arrangement robs the officer's shotgun-riding partner from legroom. Dodge, though, has come up with a far more elegant and functional solution. Taking a page out of Tesla and Volvo's book, Dodge has replaced the five-inch UConnect display and laptop mount in the Charger Pursuit police car with an enormous 12.1-inch, portrait-format touchscreen display. Called, UConnect 12.1, the new system doesn't do away with the old fashioned computer outright. Instead it moves the bulky unit to the trunk, where it can connect to the display via an ethernet cable. This is good for multiple reasons. First, there are no pricey installation or upfitting charges, like there are for most laptop carriages. Secondly, the plug-and-play nature of the new UConnect system won't require the department to buy new laptops. And third, there's no need to retrain officers, since the only thing that's really changing is the input. While the Charger Pursuit will continue to offer redundant audio and HVAC controls, the 12.1-inch display can, at the press of a "button" split to display Fiat Chrysler's familiar 8.4-inch display. Make one more tap on the screen, and the police-issue laptop can be managed through the full touchscreen. The touchscreen will also display a menu bar at the top of the page, which can easily be edited by officers. All it takes is a simple drag and drop from the application menu to the top of the display. According to Dodge, the touchscreen will even play nice when its operator is wearing gloves. "As America's high-performance police vehicle, Dodge Charger Pursuit is going big for 2016, offering a massive, Uconnect touchscreen system that streamlines a law enforcement officer's computer system with our easy-to-use Uconnect system – on an all-new laptop-sized 12.1-inch touchscreen display," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge and SRT's president and CEO.
Stellantis earnings rise along with EV sales
Wed, Feb 22 2023AMSTERDAM — Automaker Stellantis on Wednesday reported its earnings grew in 2022 from a year earlier and said its push into electric vehicles led to a jump in sales even as it faces growing competition from an industrywide shift to more climate-friendly offerings. Stellantis, formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, said net revenue of 179.6 billion euros ($191 billion) was up 18% from 2021, citing strong pricing and its mix of vehicles. It reported net profit of 16.8 billion euros, up 26% from 2021. Stellantis plans to convert all of its European sales and half of its U.S. sales to battery-electric vehicles by 2030. It said the strategy led to a 41% increase in battery EV sales in 2022, to 288,000 vehicles, compared with the year earlier. The company has “demonstrated the effectiveness of our electrification strategy in Europe,” CEO Carlos Tavares said in a statement. “We now have the technology, the products, the raw materials and the full battery ecosystem to lead that same transformative journey in North America, starting with our first fully electric Ram vehicles from 2023 and Jeep from 2024.” The automaker is competing in an increasingly crowded field for a share of the electric vehicle market. Companies are scrambling to roll out environmentally friendly models as they look to hit goals of cutting climate-changing emissions, driven by government pressure. The transformation has gotten a boost from a U.S. law that is rolling out big subsidies for clean technology like EVs but has European governments calling out the harm that they say the funding poses to homegrown industry across the Atlantic. Stellantis' Jeep brand will start selling two fully electric SUVs in North America and another one in Europe over the next two years. It says its Ram brand will roll out an electric pickup truck this year, joining a rush of EV competitors looking to claim a piece of the full-size truck market. The company plans to bring 25 battery-electric models to the U.S. by 2030. As part of that push, it has said it would build two EV battery factories in North America. A $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung will bring one of those facilities to Indiana, which is expected to employ up to 1,400 workers. The other factory will be in Windsor, Ontario, a collaboration with South KoreaÂ’s LG Energy Solution that aims to create about 2,500 jobs. The EV push comes amid a slowdown in U.S.
Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
