Well I'm sure no expert on Mopars, but I received this 1965 convertible from a 70 year old man with  heart problems.

 This is what I call a "Barn Find". He brought it from California with plans to restore it, and fix it up.

He has bought some parts for it etc. It has been sitting idle for a  year (and maybe more?)
I believe he had big plans to restore it, but health issues have gotten in his way.
 
Here is what I can tell you about the car...

This Dodge will need whatever sitting idle for that long would dictate. (New battery, fluids clean fuel. etc.) 

It has not been driven in quite some time.
The car has a 440 V-8 with a torqueflite automatic transmission.

 The engine is hot rodded up a bit, and looks to have all the normal goodies.
 This would make a neat daily driver or better yet,  it might be a car, you could fully restore.

 It has the factory bucket seats with a console.
The trunk has a little rust, but the floors, frame, engine compartment, etc. are excellent.

I have a clear  and open California title for it as well as all the spare parts he bought for it.(included).
I wish I knew more about it, but it's just how it came out of storage, and just as I recieved it.

Since it's a 1965 it also might make a neat Hemi-clone car? (just a thought). It reminds me of the famed "Dick landy" 65' Pro-stocker.
  
It is 50 year old and I am selling it as-is. It's a bit of a project, but if your somewhat mechanical, this may be right up your alley?
I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in anyway.

This car was running and driving when he last parked it into storage. If I do not sell it "as-is", I will get it all serviced and running, and re-list it accordingly. 

My opening bid is $ 5,500.00 with no reserve.  I think that whoever ends up with it will be very pleased. I can't imagine finding a neater, or a more nostalgic big-block / convertible like this for the price. 
Terms of sale...

I can not ship.....  This means I can not crate, box, disassemble, or deliver to a shipping company.  I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can.

If you have zero feedback, contact me before you bid or your bid will be canceled, and you will be blocked from further bidding as well. 

A $200.00 non-refundable deposit through Pay Pal is required within 48 hours of auction's end. 

PayPal is acceptable for the deposit only.

  The balance is due via bank/certified check, or cash in person within 7 days of the auctions end.  If you are an out of the states buyer, I will gladly work with you in regards to the time and details it takes to process payment. 

Thank you

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.

2013-14 Dodge Viper recalled over faulty door handles

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The 2013-14 Dodge Viper is getting a voluntary recall affecting 1,762 cars worldwide to replace their door-handle assemblies. Of the affected vehicles, FCA US reports there are 1,451 in the US, 160 in Canada, 17 in Mexico and 59 of them outside of NAFTA. After receiving three reports of doors either not closing or opening while driving a low speeds, FCA US engineers found a new sealant from a supplier didn't provide sufficient moisture protection to the electronic switches for the door latches. If the parts get wet, this can potentially cause a short circuit. The automaker is quite clear that are no reports of accidents of injuries from this problem. As always, the recall repairs will be done at no cost to owners, and FCA US will be getting in touch with customers soon about the problem. Related Video: Statement: Door-handle Assemblies April 9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 1,762 cars globally to replace their door-handle assemblies. FCA US launched an investigation after the Company received three warranty claims linked to doors that failed to close or opened inadvertently while vehicles were moving at low speed. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Engineers determined a sealant, newly adopted by a supplier, provided inconsistent moisture protection to the electronic switches that control the door latches. Switches exposed to moisture may short-circuit. Affected are approximately 1,451 model-year 2013-14 Dodge Viper SRT cars in the U.S.; 160 in Canada; 17 in Mexico and 59 outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be notified and advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
