I would describe this 1969 Dodge Coronet 440 2 door coupe not as restored but as extensively refurbished. The previous owner from whom we (my son and I) bought this car 3 1/2 years ago had a lot of work done including rebuilding the engine (318) with less than 1K miles on the rebuild at the time of sale. Rebuilt brake system (power brakes), steering box (power steering), radiator, rear end (with new pinion seal and gaskets and 3.91:1 ratio with speedometer gear to match) and transmission service. New tires (good tread though they are 3 1/2 years older now), Edelbrock intake and carb and new dual exhaust system. The wheels are 15 inch Dodge steel wheels with correct dog dish hubcaps with a matching spare (wheel and tire) and the correct jack. When we bought the car it had an up to date inspection (Virginia) and we have kept it inspected and on the road since - although with fairly limited use. It has been stored in a garage when not being used since we bought it and hasn't been rained or snowed on for at least the last 3 1/2 years.

Since we bought the car we have continued the refurbishing process with new bumpers front and rear, new carpet and underlayment, new kick panels, new arm rest bases and window winders, new package tray and reupholstered front and rear bench seats. We have replaced any and all of the weatherstripping that wasn't in good condition and replaced several small pieces of trim on the inside and outside of the car. We replaced the antenna and installed a correct NOS Dodge AM radio. We flushed the cooling system and replaced the thermostat, replaced the fuel filter, PCV valve and hose, again had the transmission serviced as part of correcting a weepy seal (which was fixed), replaced the u joints on the advice of our mechanic, replaced a gas tank vent line and the gas cap .We installed a hood pad, replaced the horn, relay and bracket, voltage regulator, battery and hold downs, installed a Pertronix electronic ignition with a new resistor, coil and leads. We completely replaced the windshield washer system. We replaced the front and rear shocks and had the car aligned. The body is very solid which is why we were interested in it in the first place - when we had the seats out and pulled the carpet to replace it we could see the floor pans were 100% solid on both sides front and rear. The steering wheel, dash, dash pad and instrument panel are all in good condition. It has the correct seat belts and they all work. The car starts easily, idles nicely and runs and handles well. The brakes are excellent. I owned a similar car (1969 Plymouth Satellite) in the early 70s so I know how they should ride and run and stop. I would drive this car anytime, anywhere.

Now for the not so good. People that don't know old cars should know that old cars don't have computers, air bags and antilock brakes and most don't have air conditioning. They weren't as dependable as new cars are today and require more involvement than your average Corolla and Camry. Things are going to occasionally break and rarely things will fall off. This car specifically could use a paint job if you really wanted a show car (although it certainly looks good enough for the Saturday night drive in). There was a 1 1/2 inch long scratch on the trunk lid that we touch up painted. There are some small scattered paint chips here and there and the dark paint color shows off every flaw, small dent and ripple when you sight over the various panels. When we recently turned on the radio no sound came out which we tracked down to the antennae to radio lead (I know its that because I had a universal replacement car antennae that I plugged into the radio and it worked fine). The clock isn't running now. The seat release buttons occasionally stick.

Please contact me with any questions you may have about the vehicle.

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.

Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute

Tue, May 24 2016

Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end? We wish we knew, but our Magic 8 Ball is covered in soot.
