For sale I have a 1973 Dodge Challenger. I know you see a lot of these cars for sale on eBay, but you don't see one like this very often. No it's not an extremely rare car or extremely rare options, But it is a car that has not been butchered, hot rodded or changed very much since it was new. This car was purchased by my sister in Arkansas in the early 1980s. The person she bought it from said that they had purchased it brand-new. The car had radiator problems in 1992, so it was parked in the barn where it sat until a few months ago. She wanted to fix it up and restore it, and started working on the mechanics of it. But she's decided to just sell it. The car has a lot of options, was a red car with a white vinyl roof, with white bucket seats automatic on the floor, air-conditioning power disc brakes. The car has several options from the rally package, but it was not an RT.  It has the rally dash with tachometer, it has the road wheels, heavy duty cooling radiator, just a nice clean interesting original car. The car is a 318 automatic two barrel car, I've been told the engine and transmission or original numbers matching, so I believe it to be true. It can be verified for a serious buyer. The car still has original single exhaust that is quiet. It has brand-new 225 – 70–14 white letter tires with 0 miles on them. It has a new battery, new water pump, new distributor, voltage regulator, new alternator, new ignition box, fuel tank, sending unit, fuel grommet. It has an 8 3/4 rear end . The car runs and drives good, transmission shifts as it should, engine starts right up and runs smooth, however could use freshened up.the worst part of this car is the vinyl roof held moisture and rusted the outer roof skin, both front pillars, trunk filler panel, all of which were bought and come with the car. The roof skin will be strapped to roof of car to avoid additional shipping costs. It seems that these cars are either junk for 3k or 20k won't meet the reserve.. Here is your chance to get a decent original challenger with out breaking the bank. The key buzzer, tach, all lights work, even the radio works( not original) I have set a reasonable reserve on this car so bid to win. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability. Please do not ask for more pics if you are not bidding on the car and a serious buyer as that takes time and rarely does the person who asks for ten more pics ever bid on the item let alone win it. I have no problem getting any pics for bidders or serious buyers that have the money to complete a purchase. Please only bid on this if you can complete the purchase. Look at my feedback and bid with confidence! Thanks john

I have had several questions asking about the reserve price on the car. Reserve is reasonable for what the car is. The cost of the new roof skin, trunk extension, and both pillar posts, the tuneup, the battery, tires the fuel tank and accessories, is $2000 without any labor. That is something that needs to be considered, that $2000 has already been spent on parts and making it mechanically sound to run and drive. If you have any questions, please ask and I will try to answer them as quickly as possible.

Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
