1971 Dodge Challenger

PERFECT CAR TO BUILD AS YOU WANT WITHOUT RUINING ANYTHING
AND ONLY IMPROVING ON WHAT DODGE STARTED OUT WITH IN 1971

LOOKING AT THE CAR AS IS IF YOU WHERE GOING TO RESTO-MOD IT
HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO TRANSPLANT A 69 CHARGER GRILL AND 
HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY INTO A CAR LIKE THIS FOR A REAL WOW EFFECT
IF YOU COULD DO IT WITHOUT REALLY CHOPPING UP THE CAR. THE 
CHALLENGER NEVER CAME WITH HIDE-A-WAYS, but maybe its time someone did one.

BEING THE FACTORY COLOR LOOKS TO BE CITRON YELLOW MAKES FOR A
GREAT COLOR TO BUILD ON .  Car comes with factory build sheet / but no fender tag
PIC YOUR ENGINE / TRANSMISSION / SUSPENSION AND DO IT RIGHT
IT WOULD BE A GREAT CAR, PAYOFF OR BOTH.

Heres a quick story about the car. It was used by Picture Car Warehouse for a few yrs.
If you go to their website you can still see the car on there up for rent and you
can see the black Challenger too they used for the movie (or 1 of them )
They are the ones who swiped the front sheetmetal for another project . If you saw
movie Out of Time with Justin Timberlake, the LF black fender came off one of
their stunt cars. Mr Timberlake wasnt the best driver of a 4 spd, and dented up one
of the cars he was driving in the movie. FOR that reason Im planning on keeping 
that fender and not ship it with the car because of its story.

LUCKILY just about every part you need to restore this car is available
NOW a days and finding parts is much better then it was 5 yrs ago.
RestoMod builds if done correctly can easily bring $60k plus.

THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES, but I found to keep it running I have to
keep my hand on the key, keeping it forward enough to stay running
but not engaging the starter. So it needs a starter switch in the column
I think. I can drive and move the car around like this but its a little
daunting.


OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself 
and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past
year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much
easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence.
NOT MANY OF THESE CARS WHERE MADE BACK IN THE DAY and we all know
NOT MANY ARE EVEN LEFT ON THE ROAD ANYMORE.


DRIVETRAIN: the original slant 6 runs great and the transmission
feels good too. Some cool options on the motor are AC and PS.
Motor runs great making the car easier to ship, but chances are 
Its going to be pulled out and sold. The rearend looks like an 8.75
which is a plus + . So it does run and drive and brakes are good.


INTERIOR: worn out from front to back, but the front seat
shells are worthy of restoring. Back seat is missing the back
part, but they are available used online if you are planning
on putting it all back to stock. The whole interior needs
restoration but the floors look decent. Some rust around the
rain gutters, so it will need some spot sectional repairs
Missing the 2 front door glass and regulators. Front / Rear 
and 1/4 glass looks good and there. It was a console car too.


EXTERIOR: from the doors back looks original best we can tell.
The front fenders & flat hood where really nice, but the
last owner scavenged them for their project. The car
wasnt wrecked and aprons look good too. The car will for
sure need some metal patch repairs around the body.
Its not eastcoast salt rust, its more CA near the ocean rust.
Frame, and most of the floors are really nice. Trunk is ok
but probably want to replace part of it. The car will need
patch work in several areas around the car, but again its
still better then most Ive seen for what our reserve is at.
As far as I can tell too, this car NEVER came with a vinyl top.
Citron Yella was the original color best I can tell.


SUSPENSION
: basically all stock, feels normal when driving
it around our parking lot etc.

IF YOU DONT SEE IT IN THE PICS, IT DOES NOT COME WITH 
THE CAR (aside from the lovely model who also does not
come with it , haha.)


Overall again, the car feels good for a daily driver

This car is not your typical rust free Arizona car but it is
a CA car that needs some rust repair.

These cars rarely even come up for sale anymore

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.

Stellantis is official: FCA and PSA merger finally sealed

Sat, Jan 16 2021

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler and PSA sealed their long-awaited merger on Saturday to create Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest auto group with deep enough pockets to fund the shift to electric driving and take on bigger rivals Toyota and Volkswagen. It took over a year for the Italian-American and French automakers to finalize the $52 billion deal, during which the global economy was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. They first announced plans to merge in October 2019, to create a group with annual sales of around 8.1 million vehicles. "The merger between Peugeot S.A. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. that will lead the path to the creation of Stellantis N.V. became effective today," the two automakers said in a statement. Shares in Stellantis, which will be headed by current PSA Chief Executive Carlos Tavares, will start trading in Milan and Paris on Monday, and in New York on Tuesday. Now analysts and investors are turning their focus to how Tavares plans to address the huge challenges facing the group – from excess production capacity to a woeful performance in China. Tavares will hold his first press conference as Stellantis CEO on Tuesday, after ringing NYSE's bell with Chairman John Elkann. FCA and PSA have said Stellantis can cut annual costs by over 5 billion euros ($6.1 billion) without plant closures, and investors will be keen for more details on how it will do this. Marco Santino, a partner at consultants Oliver Wyman, said he expected Tavares to disclose the outlines of his action plan soon, but without divulging too many details at first. "He has proven to be the kind of person who prefers action to words, so I don't think he will make loud statements or try to over-sell targets," he said. Like all global automakers, Stellantis needs to invest billions in the years ahead to transform its vehicle range for the electric era. But other pressing tasks loom, including reviving the group's lagging fortunes in China, rationalizing its huge global empire and addressing massive overcapacity. "It will be a step by step process, also to allow the market to better appreciate every single move. I don't think we will have all the details before one year," Santino said.
