Vehicle came out of Auburn Indiana. Purchased at the Auction America auction at Auburn Auction Park. Previous owner did a body-on restoration on the vehicle sometime in the early 2000s and has kept meticulous records of almost every single part purchased for the Challenger (I have a folder two inches thick full of receipts/documents/service history, etc.).  It has been mechanically completely rebuilt so it runs/drives good and can be driven anywhere. 

Vehicle has a VERY SOLID BODY. Doors open and close perfectly. Body is very straight down the sides with very few if any ripples. Seems to have all original body panels except for one lower quarter patch by rear driver's side quarter panel, with new sheetmetal, otherwise the rest seems to be all original. This is a VERY NICE car and has had a quality paintjob done to it a few years ago that has held up very well and looks fantastic.

Under the hood lies a COMPLETELY REBUILT and PROFESSIONALLY ASSEMBLED and built 440ci/375hp MAGNUM motor that has been upgraded with a ton of name brand parts and go-fast goodies. Everything looks virtually brand new under the hood and is definitely a sight to behold. Most if not all receipts for parts purchased are available as well. Upgrades include aluminum intake, Holley 4bbl. double-pumper carburetor, MSD billet distributor, MSD style control box, performance plugs/wires/coil, Flowmaster dual exhaust, and tons of accent goodies as well. 

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been completely overhauled and stop on a dime! Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds great and is very responsive with a little play in the steering wheel. I would not hesitate to fly in and drive the car home anywhere in the country, as it is that reliable. 

Interior is virtually all stock with custom red/black inserts in the seats (I CAN HAVE THEM REDONE TO STOCK FOR EXTRA FEE IF DESIRED). NO rips in the seats. Excellent headliner. Carpet is very nice. Door panels very nice. Dash is good with a couple of surface cracks. Good steering wheel. Very good console. Overall a beautifully presentable interior for a high-end driver.

Chrome is fairly nice overall. Front bumper guards were removed on the car to give it a cleaner look.

Underside actually appears to be in PRETTY SOLID shape throughout. Floorboards appear very nice and solid with NO holes or large rot areas anywhere I was able to find. A couple of areas have undercoating that is peeling, other than that they are very nice.  Frame and frame rails appear EXCELLENT. VERY SOLID trunk as well, with full size spare as well as an extra rally rim, and jack. 

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT shape with BEAUTIFUL shine but is not brand new and has a few minor imperfections from driving. Some minor chips here and there. Not working: clock, gauges seem to be working fine otherwise, perhaps may need a bulb or two replaced where needed. Missing: fender tag, dome light plastic lens, a/c parts (removed but available). Trunk could use some detailing. Front bumper is presentable but could be replaced if you really wanted it to pop. Not much else I can fault on this car other than really neat picky stuff.

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 40 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives FANTASTIC, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Chrysler's next-gen minivans will get more expensive

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Chrysler introduced the value-oriented Great American Package on the base model Chrysler 300 in 2005. That morphed into the American Value Package available as an option on the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2012, which made it the lowest-priced minivan in the country, now with an MSRP of $21,395. Automotive News reports that Chrysler is going to kill the value package when the new Town & Country arrives for 2017, because the new platform and technology of the coming minivan make it "a difficult price point to get to." AN says the next-generation haulers will come in around $26,000 and can go beyond $45,000 with options; clicking every "Add" button we could find on the Town & Country build page, we couldn't get past $43,000 for today's model. That entry pricing in 2017 would eliminate the first three trims on the Dodge option, the American Value Package, the SE that starts at $24,195, and the SE Plus that starts at $24,995. This makes us think the next-generation haulers will take a sizable step upscale in terms of feel, content, and trim, a la the Chrysler 200. In this writer's opinion, if they do as good a job as they've been doing recently, the extra money will be worth it. There have been spy shots and a lot of rumors about it, like the Caravan minivan going away and becoming a crossover, but we'll see it revealed at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.

Chrysler Recalls Over 566,000 Trucks, SUVs

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 566,000 trucks and SUVs in two recalls for malfunctioning fuel heaters that can cause fires and a software glitch can disable the electronic stability control. The recalls bring the newly merged company's total for the year to 6.4 million vehicles worldwide and 5.1 million in the U.S. as it continues to struggle with reliability problems. It was not immediately clear whether those totals were annual records. On Tuesday, its longtime quality chief abruptly left after Fiat Chrysler performed poorly in Consumer Reports magazine's annual reliability rankings. The largest of two recalls announced Wednesday covers almost 382,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs from 2010 through 2014. In trucks with 6.7-Liter Cummins diesel engines, corrosion on a fuel heater terminal could cause overheating, fuel leaks and fires. Chrysler is not aware of any fires or injuries. Owners could be warned by an odor of diesel fuel. Customers will be notified by letters starting in December. Dealers will install upgraded terminals and fuel heater housings could be replaced. The second recall covers more than 184,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from 2014. A debris cover over a circuit board in the steering column control module can disrupt communications and disable the stability control. The problem was discovered when dealers started getting reports from customers that electronic stability control warning lights were coming on. Fiat Chrysler says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem. Technicians will upgrade software to fix the SUVs, and customers will be notified in December. Fiat Chrysler has issued 33 global recalls and 27 in the U.S. so far this year. Doug Betts, its longtime quality chief, left the company to pursue other options after Consumer Reports' survey-based rankings this year showed four FiatChrysler brands at the bottom of its list. Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat performed worst of 28 brands ranked by the magazine. Company spokesman Eric Mayne said Fiat Chrysler's recalls average fewer than 200,000 vehicles each, below the industry average of 301,000. That means the company is responding quickly to problems, he said, adding that eight of its 27 U.S. recalls were announced before the company received any consumer complaints. Chrysler is not alone with a high number of recalls so far this year.
