Here's the holly grail for Stealth fans - 1991 RT twin turbo Dodge Stealth convertible made by the famous R.Straman Company of Costa Mesa, CA. The convertible conversion alone cost $14K in 1991, which pushed the total cost of the car when it was new to over $45K. This car is one of an estimated 24 turbo Stealth convertibles made by Straman. Full power top with a matching boot cover. A red with black top Straman convertible was featured in the 8/91 issues of both Road&Track and Automobile, both magazines come with the car. Straman added considerable structural reinforcements to the car, which are detailed in the magazine articles. I further supplemented it with front & rear strut bars. The car is still perfectly aligned with absolutely no body sag, the doors close & latch easily with a gentle one finger push. It is smooth as glass on the highway at 80 mph with the top down!
I'm its 3rd owner, I bought it in 2001 with 47K miles on it. It now has 69K. The drivetrain is bone stock - right down to the air filter. Full 60K timing belt service done 6 years ago by a certified Mitsubishi master tech. I've always run synthetic oil, and all fluids in the trans and rear are proper synthetic GL4 and GL5. The transfer case was replaced under factory recall about 10 years ago. Drive line center carrier bearing replaced a few years ago. Runs strong and shifts smooth like it should with no issues. It does not leak any fluids. The ECS struts are all in good condition, and it can still be switched between Sport and Touring modes. The only idiot light on is the one for low windshield washer fluid.
Custom red and black interior. All seats are in excellent condition with no worn spots or tears. It has the usual cracked defroster vents. It does not have the usual bubbles in the interior door panels - both are perfect. Some of the fabric on the inside of the windshield header and pillars is looking a little dated. All gauges, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and climate control all function properly. Three of the 4 factory chrome wheels are near perfect, one (rear passenger side) has slight curb rash (see photo). Michelin Pilot tires are all wearing evenly and have lots of tread left. I just had it professionally detailed. The detail shop repaired a large scratch over the rear driver's side wheel, and got a little overspray in a small section of that tire's tread. They also removed most of the black crinkle paint off the engine front valve cover. It is a 22 year old car that is driven semi-regularly, so it is not perfect.
Radio and in-dash 6 CD changer are from a newer Mits Eclipse, so the steering wheel audio controls do not work. Kenwood amp mounted behind one of the rear seats cranks up the Infinity speakers nicely.
Car is solid and mechanically sound to drive anywhere. I drive it to Seattle once a year (200 mile round trip on I-5) without any problems.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
The Dodge Neon is coming back... to Mexico
Tue, Mar 15 2016It's been a long time since we've seen a new Dodge Neon putt-putting around. But soon it will be back, and in North America, too, if you want to get technical about it. But this time, the Neon will be limited exclusively to Mexico. According to Ward's Auto, FCA is planning to import the Fiat Tipo to Mexico, but rebadged under the Dodge brand and with the Neon nameplate on the trunk... even if it doesn't have those signature round headlights, or a three-speed automatic transmission. Never heard of the Fiat Tipo? It debuted almost a year ago as the Aegea Project, and went into production shortly thereafter – similarly called the Egea in Turkey where it's made, but the Tipo in other European markets. It's a budget-oriented, C-segment compact with a range of four-cylinder engines, and though designed from the get-go as a four-door sedan, it rolled into Geneva last month in hatchback and wagon forms as well. The Tipo is built at the Tofas plant in Bursa, Turkey, alongside the Fiat Doblo – which is also shipped over to North America, rebadged as the Ram ProMaster City. In the Mexican market, FCA also sells the Fiat Siena sedan as the Dodge Vision, the Mitsubishi Mirage rebadged as the Dodge Attitude, and the Fiat Strada as the Ram 700 – all nameplates exclusive to our neighbors to the south. Whatever its origin, it'll be interesting to see a Neon again the next time we venture South of the Border – particularly considering that the Neon was arguably the last time that Chrysler had a competitive compact on its hands. The Caliber that followed never gained the same kind of traction, so to speak, and FCA recently ceased production (for the time being at least) of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 to focus on larger trucks crossovers – the likes of which the Caliber tried to emulate (in style, if not in substance).
NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged
Fri, 23 May 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.
