1974 dodge charger all original body. Original spare tire and jack original 14 
inch rally rims with trim rings.  The engine and trans are not  original the car 
started as a 318 car.  And now has a 440 block and 727  I USED CUSTOM MOTOR 
MOUNTS !!!!  UNCUT ORIGINAL K MEMBER. Meaning converting back 
To small block. Would be very easy to do  but any way the body is absolutely  
Solid as a rock the only rust bubble on the whole car is on the driver side rear 
fender. Above the wheel and is about the size of a dime. And that's it. Same 
with the underside. No rust or rot.  At all.  Clearly the car was never driven 
in the winter or not a NY car. original paint it's a beautiful metallic green. 
That really stands out and looks fantastic it's paint code  G8 the car has a 
very nice white factory pinstripe. Down each side to match the white by all top 
the car also has factory hood pins I did remove the in car hood release and 
factory safety latch but I do still have both of these parts.I also painted the 
Valley pan   And distributer cap the same G8 green as the body. And trimmed the 
edlbrock intake plus mopar performance polished  aluminum valve covers in green 
see pics. looks very very sharp.the  Interior  is beautiful other that 3 small 
issues that Are stated further down. The trunk, floors,  Hood doors, windows are 
all in fantastic condition.Everything works as it should  in the electrical 
department with the exception of the wiper motor but all the lights flashers  
signals. Horn. And instrumentation works the Speedo is not hooked up because of 
having the incorrect nylon gear in the trans but the speedo does work, the car 
has the base model dash with the long rectangular speedo it's also a buckets and 
console car. She goes down the road straight. Front end is very tight no 
wandering at all  due to frequent greasing  front power disks read drums the 
factory power steering was removed to free up some space.  But even with the big 
block it steers easy  White vinyl   top is in fair  shape and  could be replaced 
or could not. The headliner. Could be replaced.  It's some what discolored. And 
has a mouse hole but the hole is hidden by the sun visor the dash pad over all 
is in great shape but it does have 2 small Cracks. This could likely be 
repaired.  And not replaced And 3 small.  Holes in the back seat  I also believe 
these could be repaired with out replacing the cover  each smaller than a 
quarter  the engine is a 72 440 block. Bored 30 over. 4.10 stroke crank. From 
440 source. H beam rods Stock length (.990 pin) JE flat top pistons and rings 
with butterfly valve cuts.  509 mopar purple shaft cam full roller timing set 
915 heads.  With light gasket porting. Auto meter tack and oil pressure gauges.  
800 CFM edlbrock carb with no choke billet steel mains with a stud girdle plate. 
Kit from 440 source (  makes the bottom end stronger reduces flexing  under high 
rpm an heavy loads  ties the mains. To the block )  And all engine fashioners 
are ARP ( main studs , rod end bolts, head bolts, ) 8qt low profile deep sump 
gold milodon oil pan and correct pickup.  And a high flow oil pump. Also a high 
flow aluminum water pump and edlbrock mechanical. Fuel pump good for up to 600 
HP. Under the hood is very very clean looking  all the electric wiring is nicely 
loomed. the fuel lines and vacuum line is done up in a polished simulated steel 
braid with a nice looking polished fuel filter as well as many polished  bolts 
polished water neck polished throttle return spring and bracket. Ceramic coated 
headers pypes 2 1/2 inch x pipe exhaust With race pro mufflers.  Factory 11 inch 
torque converter Custom worked  by  CTI in Nedrow NY the stall is aprox 2500 ( 
matched to cam)  and the internals are all heavy duty .The trans is a reworked 
727 full manual valve body.  (No kickdown linkage ) brand new pressure plates. 
Filter bands adjusted. Completely gone thru and rebuilt by a professional tranny 
shop. 
 The rear end is an 8 1/4.  With 391 gears and a mopar sure grip I think It 
would be a good idea to put a 8 3/4 in or a Dana but not required.  And if the 
buyer would like I have a 8 3/4 out I a truck that I will include. 3.23 open 
diff (  same as B body other than you would   need to move the spring perches 
and no pinion snubber )  And their is somthing in the engine I can't put my 
finger on it the car runs ok Just has an odd sound to it. That I haven't been 
able to fully understand. So I will give you the absolute worst case. but it 
could be a much simpler problem. I believe it needs Bearings  in the lower end 
but I'm not positive. As the  Oil pressure is great at 50-70 psi I always ran 
brad penn penn grade  the engine was never driven hard or driven much at all to 
be hones. Just to the Syracuse nationals last year a little around the show and 
back home. So maybe a total of 50 miles but keeping with I give you worst case 
info  but it may not be that bad  I will say the engine should be pulled  
disassembled and rebuilt. Maybe a more skilled and experienced mechanic. Could 
provide a better understanding of what the issue is and how to properly fix the  
problem  but I will in NO WAY MISLEAD ANY POTENTIAL BUYER. AS TO WHAT EXACTLY 
THEY ARE LOOKING AT WITH THIS CAR  good or bad.  You will know everything I know 
even if it may hurt  me as a seller.  At the end of the day my word is far more 
valuable.  As stated all the components of the engine are brand new. Like less 
than 100 miles brand new. They are also top on the line parts Something like 
4200 was spent just in engine parts alone  and that doesn't include  machining 
costs ( line honed, bored .30 over , and deck truing) Also included is a second 
cam shaft and lifter set from comp  around 570 lift I have the grind sheet  just 
not right in front of my as I'm typing this posting to know the exact specs I 
also installed 600 lift double spring valve springs  the car has an electric 
puller fan. Original mopar big block radiator  and a custom double cooler tranny 
cooling set up that is very nice   My asking price and willingness to negotiate 
price. Is reflective of the engine issues. I know people. Are generally 
unwilling to pay top dolor. For something that needs work. But I also know that 
this car with a nicely running big block would bring   15k or more  so I'm not 
going to just give it away either. For me I just lost interest In cars  I don't 
have the time to tinker like I used to and  always spread my self thin plus I  
never have the time the car deserves so it's time for her to go and give some 
one else the chance to enjoy this wonderful carIt really is a great deal for any 
mopar or muscle car lover if you have any questions,would like more  more 
pictures or a specific picture  feel free to ask but I would encourage any 
potential buyer to just come look if you're able to  Pictures do not do the car 
justice Ps the title is clean. I own the car no

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models

Thu, 16 May 2013

After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.

Stellantis wants to outfit cars with AI software to drive revenue

Tue, Dec 7 2021

MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis announced a strategy Tuesday to embed AI-enabled software in 34 million vehicles across its 14 brands, hoping the tech upgrade will help it bring in 20 billion euros ($22.6 billion) in annual revenue by 2030. CEO Carlos Tavares heralded the move as part of a strategy that would transform the car company into a “sustainable mobility tech company,” with business growth coming from features and services tied to the internet. That includes using voice commands to activate navigation, make payments and order products online. The company is expanding existing partnerships with BMW on partially automated driving, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn on customized cockpits and Waymo to push their autonomous driving work into light commercial vehicle delivery fleets. StellantisÂ’ embrace of artificial intelligence and expansion of software-enabled vehicles is part of a broad transformation in the auto industry, with a race toward more fully electric and hybrid propulsion systems, more autonomous driving features and increased connectivity in automobiles. Ford and General Motors also are banking on dramatically increased revenue from similar online subscription services. But the automakers face immense competition for monthly consumer spending from movie and music streaming services, news outlets, Amazon Prime and others. Stellantis, which was formed from the combination of PSA Peugeot and FCA Fiat Chrysler, said the software would seamlessly integrate into customers' lives, with the capability of live updates providing upgraded services over time. New products will include the possibility to subscribe to automated driving features, purchase usage-based car insurance or even increase the power of the vehicle with a tune-up to add horsepower. As a baseline, Stellantis generates 400 million euros in revenue on software-generated services installed in 12 million vehicles. To meet the targets, Stellantis will expand its software engineering team of 1,000 to 4,500 in North America, Asia and Europe. More than 1,000 of the expanded team will be retrained in house. Stellantis also announced a new partnership with Foxconn to develop semiconductors to cover 80% of the companyÂ’s needs and simplify the supply chain. The first microchips from the partnership are targeted to be installed in vehicles in 2024.
