1953 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Survivor Hot Rod Rat Rod Shoebox No Reserve on 2040-cars
Springdale, Arkansas, United States
|
Hot rod survivor. Has an unknown size Mopar V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission. Appears to have originally been a manual transmission 6 cylinder car. Runs and drives well. Steering is notchy and wanders a bit. Brakes were very weak but was low on fluid. I added fluid and it brakes fairly well. It will need the major systems gone through but it will be a good driver. 99% complete. Missing some trim in the interior. Has been painted a few times. The green could be buffed, but it's got a good patina that would be a shame to get rid of. Very little rust in the floors. Only a couple of spots. Overall very very solid car. Has a fuel cell and dual exhaust. Windshield has a couple chips. One of the side windows is cracked but still together. Interior needs attention. Seats and panels need redone. Or leave as it is as a patina'd hot rod. All lights except headlights work. Haven't looked into them. The chrome has normal pitting, but again, has some good patina. I'm not sure on the mileage. I'll check it tomorrow but I'm sure it's rolled over a few times. Overall, this is a cool hot rod that only needs some minor stuff to get to good driver status. Lower it and call it good.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Bid to buy. I've done my best to describe the car to the best of my knowledge. It's an old car and needs work. This is NOT a perfect car. Don't expect it to be. More pictures are available on request. The car is as is, where is and is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks. |

Could Chrysler leave Michigan for Tennessee?
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Detroit's Big Three could become the Big Two. According to an AP report in The Detroit News, state officials have been lobbying for Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne to select Tennessee as the location for Fiat's joint headquarters with Chrysler Group LLC.
This weekend, Marchionne met with Tennessee governor Bill Haslam at a ceremony celebrating the expansion of a Fiat subsidiary plant in the city of Pulaski. The AP report does not mention any serious talks about headquarters relocation, only that Tennessee officials have been "working me over pretty well," according to Marchionne.
Fiat hopes to complete its merger with the Auburn Hills-based automaker sometime next year, and earlier reports have stated that the company is seeking $10 billion in financing to buy the remaining bits of Chrysler. If the company were to relocate, it would join Nissan and Volkswagen in having major American automotive operations in Tennessee. Of course, that whole "Imported From Detroit" thing would need to go out the window, as well.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
