I know this is a long ad but please read every word so you know EXACTLY what I am offering. And please keep in mind I am brave enough to list a very high dollar item at $1 No Reserve so please do not bid if you are not 100% sure you can make the purchase happen; meaning get your bankers, wifes, mother, etc permission before bidding. And if your bank/lending institute needs a copy of the title to approve your loan feel free to contact me I own the car free and clear and have title in hand. I have sold a bunch of expensive cars on ebay(a lot of them Vipers) and I have 100% feedback and even keep in touch with some of my past buyers because I truly do run a $1 No Reserve auction(meaning no hidden reserve and the high bidder will own it no matter how cheap she goes) and I treat every single person the way I want to be treated so please feel confident that the car is being represented as correctly as I know how.



This $1 No Reserve auction is for my 2008 Dodge Viper ACR with only 9k miles. It’s a pretty rare color combo; black with red drivers side stripe. It has solid black interior with the red drivers stripe on top of the steering wheel for a really sweet look. This color combo is one of the meanest looking combos Ive seen in person. It has the 8.4L V10 that produces 600hp and 560TQ stock. The Gen 4 ACR holds more track records than any other factory built car in history and one drive behind the wheel and you will know why. This is my second ACR and I am still amazed every time I get behind the wheel at how amazing these bad boys handle. And that’s stock cars, this one has been tastefully modded to do everything better(will list mods later in ad). Words can’t explain how much I love to just sit and stare at this amazing machine for hours. I will probably cry when it leaves =-(

I have owned 12 gen 3 and gen 4 vipers and I could go on and on about how incredible it is to drive a Viper and I can assure you that the Gen 4(2008-up) is worth the price over the Gen 3 in drivability. So if you are in the market for a Viper and can afford to go for the Gen 4 please do it, you will thank me. And even though all vipers get crazy attention the ACR takes the attention to a whole other level. If you are the type person that does not like a lot of attention and wanting to talk to someone about your car every time you stop then this really isn’t the car for you. I don’t care where you live you will have phones taking pics and videos of her every time you drive it. Sometimes its soo much attention you will find yourself wondering if its even worth trying to drive the car. Like I said I could go on and on about how much fun it is owning a Viper be it attention, or the incredible driving experience but until you own your own you never will understand.

One other thing that makes the Viper sooo much better than most exotics is the reliability of them. It’s literally a car you can drive 100,000+ miles and do nothing more than change the oil and fluids in it. Oh and don’t think that you have to sacrifice mpg to drive a huge V10 car like this, my daily driving returns 19-20 mpg and on a straight highway drive you will log 22-24 mpg thanks to the amazing redesigned T-6060 6 speed tranny. And with the newly redesigned rearend you won’t believe the traction and quiet operation. Just keep in mind that the Viper doesn’t have any traction control or stability control so you must use A LOT of common sense when behind the wheel. But when you learn to handle the power and put it down correctly you can blast from 0-130 in about 10 seconds and I can assure you that NEVER gets old =-) In all seriousness I baby my Vipers simply because Im more worried about getting the best fuel mileage I can and not wearing my tires down. So I promise you this car has never done a burn out while Ive owned her and that’s exactly why the rear tires have the very same wear as the front tires(right now they have roughly 50% tread left but keep in mind these are factory race tires so they come with very little tread when new).

It’s safe to say I am a car guy and I have a serious passion for cars. I have owned well over 200 cars in my life so far but I can confidently say this is by far the best looking and my favorite car ever. Now the big question on your mind is then why am I selling it? Well Ive bought another 08 ACR and I literally do not have garage space left for another car so this one has to go. I have a sickness I guess, I like to buy a stock car and mod it the way I vision it then sell it and start on another one. And I must say I am super pleased with the mods Ive chosen for this one and the new owner will be too. Plus the new owner will save a bunch of money on parts and labor since all the mods are already done. And trust me Viper mods are not cheap!!!

As far as condition goes the car is a close to perfect as you could want in a 9k mile car but there is no such thing as flawless with any car driven on the street. Besides normal rock chips on front bumper, behind wheels, and light rock pits in the windshield the only thing I can even find to mention is a small 3” scratch down on the front carbon fiber splitter(see pic) and that’s just a light scratch in the uv coating that could be buffed out. This ACR is in amazing condition and could be driven straight to a car show the day you receive it. Oh and the interior is in as close to new as you could ask far and even smells new inside(clearly never been smoked in).

The car was involved in an accident several months ago and had drivers side damage. Insurance deemed it a total loss and paid the owner for the car then sent the car to the insurance auction. It was purchased by a professional rebuilding facility in Indiana who I bought it from. And it now has a clean TN title. I am marking rebuilt title in the ebay listing but I repeat it does not have a rebuilt title it is completely clean and clear with no rebuilt or salvage marking on it so it is much easier to secure a loan from most banks for the full loan value. And I own the car free and clear with not current loan on it so the transaction will be super smooth and easy. The only parts replaced were drivers front fender, drivers quarter panel, exhaust cover, and rear bumper. The damage was so light that even the drivers door was undamaged in the accident. And the only parts that had to be painted were the parts replaced, all other panels are still original paint. After installing the Moton suspension I had the car realigned by my local alignment shop who also did frame work for 20 years and he said she was straight as an arrow. And there was never any inner structure damage meaning the rear tub or the front engine bay inner structure has never been damaged so that tell you how light the damage was. It was more of a bridge rail swipe than an actual impact.

Again I am super honest and truly like to treat people the way Id like to be treated and if I have grossly misrepresented this car in any way at time of pick up then I will gladly refund deposit and release the buyer from purchase but I want to say I am not a certified mechanic or body shop person so all I can do is relay to you what I know about this car. The car is amazing and darn near flawless in every way. It drives perfect and performs even more incredibly but it’s still a used car and should be purchased as one. If you are super picky and don’t feel comfortable purchasing this car with the information and pics I have provided then please do not bid. This is a high dollar item and I am brave enough to sell it @ $1 No Reserve but I really want to see my auction treated with respect. You are bidding to buy and not bidding to win then come tire kick. Any bidder is more than welcome to come inspect the car in person or have it inspected by a dealer but there will be absolutely no test drives until Im paid in full. Also I can help with shipping arrangements at buyers full expense but car will not leave my driveway till I’ve been paid in full.

I have a pretty good connection on getting cars shipped since I buy so many and always just have them picked up so I can gladly help in getting the car shipped at a good price at buyer expense. Thanks so much and if you wish to speak more in depth about the car feel free to call Wayne @ 731-610-627four. Best of Luck to all!!!



“PLEASE NOTE” In the pics the car is shown with the following items:

-DSVettes alcantara DSVettes custom alcantera wrapped steering wheel(extra thick padding used and Lamborghini cloth stitching used)

-DSVettes alcantara with red stiching shift boot and emergency brake boot.

I was planning on putting stock steering wheel and boots back in before listing but wanted to give the new owner a chance to buy these items since they look so great in this ACR. To buy a steering wheel and have DSVettes redo it and make the new boots cost me $1100. So I will let the new owner have these for $500 more than high bid and if they don’t want the items I will gladly swap them out before the car is picked up. The stock steering wheel is black leather with black stitching and the red stripe on the top and the factory boots are black leather with black stitching and are all in excellent condition too.

Forgot to list a couple other mods

-MGW satin cup holder ring
-Nadar solid aluminum quick release moton canister mounts(crazy expensive but worth it for a super clean look)

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Dodge Shadow America

Tue, Aug 2 2016

A quarter-century ago, most Americans looking for a cheap transportation appliance went for cars like the miserably-stripped-down-but-bulletproof Toyota Tercel or the feature-laden-but-reliability-challenged Hyundai Excel. Chrysler, having just discontinued the elderly "Omnirizon" platform, took the Dodge Shadow and its Plymouth sibling, the Sundance and offered a car that was bigger, more powerful, and better-equipped than just about anything else for the price: the America! These cars depreciated hard and nearly all were crushed a decade ago, so sightings are extremely rare today. Here's one that I found in a Northern California self-service yard. This one still had windshield paperwork indicating that it was an insurance-company auction car (probably totaled in a fender-bender that caused $200 worth of damage) and that it was a runner at the time it got junked. Such is the fate of 24-year-old economy cars in rough shape. The Shadow was a member of the many-branched K-Car family tree, and the Shadow America came with the same 2.2-liter straight-4 engine that powered millions of Caravans, Daytonas, New Yorkers, and Lasers. You got more torque than the competition, plus a driver's-side airbag instead of the maddening automatic seat belts found in other low-priced cars of 1992. Of course, the paint tended to peel off within a few years and the build quality of the Shadow was hit-or-miss, but these cars were way nicer to drive than, say, a Tercel EZ or Subaru Justy.

The Chrysler brand could be axed under Stellantis management

Sun, Jan 3 2021

MILAN — While running NissanÂ’s North American operations from 2009 to 2011, Carlos Tavares had a reputation for closely watching costs with little tolerance for vehicles or ventures that didnÂ’t make money. Experts say that means Tavares, currently the head of PSA Group, is likely to follow that blueprint when he becomes leader of a merged PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The low-performing Chrysler brand might get the axe as could slow-selling cars, SUVs or trucks that lack potential. Already the companies are talking about consolidating vehicle platforms — the underpinnings and powertrains — to save billions in engineering and manufacturing costs. That could mean job losses in Italy, Germany and Michigan as PSA Peugeot technology is integrated into North American and Italian vehicles. “You canÂ’t be cost efficient if you keep the entire scale of both companies,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for the iSeeCars.com auto website. “WeÂ’ve seen this show before, and weÂ’re going to see it again where they economize these platforms across continents, across multiple markets.” Shareholders of both companies are to meet Monday to vote on the merger to form the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker, to be called Stellantis. The deal received EU regulatory approval just before Christmas. Tavares, who for years has wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S., wonÂ’t take full control of the merged companies until the end of January at the earliest. He likely will target Europe for consolidation first, because thatÂ’s where Fiat vehicles overlap extensively with PSAÂ’s, said IHS Markit Principal Auto Analyst Stephanie Brinley. Europe has been a money-loser for FCA, and factories in Italy are operating way below capacity — a concern for unions, given FiatÂ’s role as the largest private sector employer in the country. “We are at a crossroads,Â’Â’ said Michele De Palma of the FIOM CGIL metalworkersÂ’ union. “Either there is a relaunch, or there is a slow agonizing closure of industry, in particular the auto industry, in Italy.” ItalyÂ’s hopes lie with the luxury Maserati and sporty Alfa Romeo brands, but De Palma said investments are needed to bring hybrid and electric technology up to speed. FiatÂ’s Italian capacity stands at 1.5 million vehicles, but only a few hundred thousand are being produced each year. Most factories were on rolling short-term layoffs due to lack of demand, even before the pandemic.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?

Tue, Sep 8 2015

We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
