This car is equipped with a 383 4 barrel, runs great, but will probably need a fuel pump in the near future. It has power brakes and power steering. The glass is all in great shape and the headliner is really nice. Door panels and dash pad are in excellent shape. The seats do have some rips and it will need new carpet. There is a rust hole on the passenger side floor board which I took a photo of, but that can be patched pretty easily. The rest of the undercarriage looks to be structurally sound. The body does have some rust, but is a good candidate for restoration and is pretty solid. The stainless is in beautiful condition. The bumpers are not show quality, but can be cleaned up and be presentable for a driver car. The grill is in nice shape, factory headlight covers are in great shape. When I got the car it actually did have a brake pedal and did work, but has a slow leak somewhere (upon purchase car would have to be trailered or towed due to lack of brakes). I purchased a brand new master cylinder, wheel cylinders for all 4 corners, and two rubber brake hoses (all pictured), so it just needs a little elbow grease to get the brakes up to par. The previous owner was driving this car over the summer. I purchased this car 3 weeks ago with plans of doing an on-frame restoration when a local car that I had been trying to purchase for some time now became available. I now don't have the room or time to put into this vehicle. I'm starting this auction at much less than I paid for the car, mostly due to the fact that the brakes were working when I purchased and now they're not. This is a 2-door hard top and is a fairly rare car. I'm selling this at a very fair price and will not take less than my starting bid. Please bid on this car if you want to purchase it. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will answer as soon as possible with the best of my knowledge. The car will have to be picked up as soon as possible after purchase. It is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to take it off Ebay if it sells. I am not interested in any trades. This car has a lot of potential and with some work could be an absolutely beautiful car.

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

Mopar's 80 years told through vintage ads

Thu, Jan 5 2017

It's more than just car parts. Mopar started in 1937 an antifreeze brand, and 80 years later Fiat Chrysler's now-iconic aftermarket division is known for everything from muscle cars to smart phone apps. This is reflected in its advertisements over the years, which show off the brand's capabilities at different moments. Rediscovered from deep in Mopar's archives as it kicks off a year-long celebration of its history, the ads are snapshots of the former Chrysler Corp. and the mood of America at those times. A colorful, free-spirited 1972 ad hawks T-shirts. A plainer 1964 spot shows off Mopar's expansive portfolio with the tagline, "sorry, we ran out of space!" There were too many parts to show them all. Another 1960s ad explains Mopar's new wire and cable products in what was likely a magazine spread or multi-column newspaper entry. Going back farther, an ad from the 1940s touts radios through wind-in-your-hair exuberance, while a later placement shows a Ward Cleaver-type waxing his hardtop. Slightly more recently in 1989, Mopar used its muscle-car heritage to encourage restoration and customization just as nostalgia for that era was growing. "The Mopar brand holds an unparalleled place in the automotive world, possessing name recognition, scope of service, and passionate enthusiasts unmatched by any other service and parts organization in the industry," Pietro Gorlier, Mopar's global chief, said in a statement. While those advertisements highlight its earlier days, Mopar is using its 80th year to look forward, noting its modern service offerings, competition in motorsports, and special edition models, like a custom Ram Rebel. These ventures have advanced the Mopar's scope and elevated its awareness with consumers, who often don't know what brand of aftermarket products their car uses. Yes, Mopar still wants to sell as many car parts as possible, but as these ads show, it's always been more than that.
