Offering for sale my black SRT-6 hardtop coupe.
42,245 miles (as of January 1, 2014).
It is not my daily driver (DD) so it gets a lot of babying (it gets washed more than it gets driven these days). It gets the cushy spot in my garage to keep it out of the elements. Located just outside of Washington DC in northern Virginia. Asking $16,999 OBO. This is a 400hp car. Minor modifications that do not impact the longevity of the vehicle or its components have easily turned the original 330hp/310lb-ft torque into roughly 400 hp/465lb-ft torque (approx). Modifications include a Eurocharged Performance ECU tune and TCU tune, a Needswings Single CAI, and a Sprintbooster all of which are removable reducing the horsepower down to the stock 330hp. This is also a safe car. Front and side air bags driver and passenger for one. When Chrysler and Mercedes engineers designed it based upon the R170 Mercedes SLK platform they made the body roughly 30% more rigid. In a crash test this car was given 5 stars by NHTSA. On top of that, it can out maneuver anything else on the road and stop on a dime. The car is in great shape for a 2005. I can provide you a scan of the CarFax upon request as of the time I purchased it in late 2011. I am the third owner and have only driven it 7,500 miles during my ownership. I have all of my receipts and records since ownership, including proof of 0w-40 Mobil1 oil changes. Replaced IC Pump around 38K miles with the stock Bosch component. I am not in a bind, not forced to sell, this is completely voluntary so I am going to take a no pressure approach to selling this and expect interested parties to do the same. The reason for selling is that I just got into law school and plan to purchase another vehicle for commuting. Pictures taken January 1, 2014. |

Fiat seeking $10B in financing to buy Chrysler
Thu, 30 May 2013As Fiat looks to become the full owner of Chrysler, all it has standing in its way is the retiree trust of the United Auto Workers, which currently holds the remaining 41.5 percent of the company as the result of the Pentastar's bankruptcy deal. The Detroit News is reporting that that Fiat is currently talking to numerous banks in an attempt to raise around $10 billion to fund the purchase of Chrysler's remaining stake with enough left over to refinance the debt of both companies. We've known that Fiat has been working to obtain the capital to buy out Chrysler for some time now, but this is the first time we've seen Fiat tip its hand about how much cash it thinks it will need to close the deal.
The first order of business is a legal dispute over the value of the UAW's stake in Chrysler, which the report indicates could cost Fiat around $3.5 billion. The acquisition of remaining shares could happen by this summer, but it sounds like CEO Sergio Marchionne (above) might not be ready for a full merger until next year.
How a Chrysler New Yorker rally car turned father and son into best friends
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Cars have a weird way of bringing fathers and sons together. You might not want to talk to your dad (or son) about politics, but if you can get him into a conversation about 1950s automotive design, then you can chat for hours. The latest video from Petrolicious looks at how Jonathan Auerbach and his dad bonded through racing in long-distance rallies in an absolutely brutish 1951 Chrysler New Yorker.
The Auerbachs have over 10,000 miles in competition on this behemoth of a Chrysler. It packs a 354-cubic-inch (5.8-liter) hemi V8 with Weber carbs under the hood, and driving it looks more akin to piloting a ship than any kind of on-road vehicle. The New Yorker can take a pounding and just keep going, too. Jonathan says that they hit two deer during one event, and the only damage to the car was some missing trim up front.
The next goal is to prep the car for the arduous Peking to Paris Rally. The big Chrysler should be quite the sight when it rolls across the finish line in France. Scroll down to hear this poignant story about a father and son becoming best friends while racing an American classic. You might want to have a tissue handy, if you're close to your dad, though.
Fiat Chrysler quietly sends Pentastar logo out to pasture
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Logos come and go, and in the case of the famed Chrysler Pentastar, it's on its way back out. The well-known five-sided emblem, which sits prominently atop the massive Chrysler Technical Center complex in Auburn Hills, MI, is officially going to be phased out now that the company has united with Fiat and formed the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
As a nearly 50-year-old icon, though, the fate of the Pentastar has been deeply intertwined with Chrysler's history. Hemmings has an excellent recap of that history, from its development in 1962 by a Chrysler ad agency through to its temporary discontinuation during the disastrous marriage between the American company and Daimler-Benz, and then on to its revival during the time the automaker regained its independence.
If you've been a fan of Chrysler and its brands over the years, you're going to want to give this piece a read. Head over and take a look.
