 Here's a nice 1970 Dodge Coronet, California built car.  Pretty rare to find these California built cars.  Has no engine, transmission is not original to car.  Area's around the front and rear glass are very good, as is the Dutchman panel.  Would make a great clone car.  I will bullet list the particulars of the car so they are easier to read:

  • If you have less than 10 feedbacks, or have negative feedbacks within the past year, please contact me prior to placing a bid.  It sounds harsh, but if you do not contact me, I will cancel your bid and block you from bidding.  This is a protection against non-qualified bidders ruining the auction for serious buyers.
  • Appears like the car has never been wrecked
  • REAL RAMCHARGERS HOOD WITH GENUINE MOPAR SCOOPS!
  • Decklid is VERY nice with just a little rust starting under one corner.  Decklid in this condition alone worth $500
  • Front fenders are very nice with a small amount of rust just in one bottom corner and a slight dent in same fender.  If you know these cars, then you know the fenders fit a Superbird.  What are they worth in this condition to a Superbird collector?  See additional pics.
  • Car come with some additional pieces in the trunk.  You can see what is in there...I will not list them out separately
  • NO Fender tag is present on the car.  I did not find a build sheet in the car.
  • Appears to be the original 8 3/4 rear end with the 489 third member.  Not sure if it is a sure grip.
  • Car has power steering, manual DRUM brakes up front
  • Looks like it was a bench seat car, but I am including 2 bucket seats with the car.  I do not have the bench seat.
  • Power drivers seat.  Have not tried it so don't know if it works or not.
  • Automatic transmission is on the column.
  • Car has no radio with it.
  • Tires hold air very well.  Whoever hauls the car will need to have a winch to pull it up on the trailer.
  • Please do not ask what the reserve is.  If you would like to make an offer on the car, email me.  Please don't ask what I would take for the car.  Make an offer or bid.
  • I reserve the right to end the auction early since the car is advertised elsewhere.
  • The payment terms are not negotiable.  Bank wire transfer in full within 48 hours of auction ending.  If you cannot meet these terms, please do not bid.  I DO NOT TAKE PAYPAL ON THIS CAR.

As you can see by the pictures, the car has some rust issues.  However, it is a very good start to a clone Superbee or Coronet R/T.  If you add up the sum of the parts, this car is a real bargain for the collector.

If you have questions, please email me.  Please do not take offense if my replies are short.  I believe in being to the point.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

EV cost burden pushing automakers to their limits, says Stellantis' CEO Tavares

Wed, Dec 1 2021

DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said external pressure on automakers to quickly shift to electric vehicles potentially threatens jobs and vehicle quality as producers struggle with EVs' higher costs. Governments and investors want car manufacturers to speed up the transition to electric vehicles, but the costs are "beyond the limits" of what the auto industry can sustain, Tavares said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference released Wednesday. "What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle," he said. "There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay." Automakers could charge higher prices and sell fewer cars, or accept lower profit margins, Tavares said. Those paths both lead to cutbacks. Union leaders in Europe and North America have warned tens of thousands of jobs could be lost. Automakers need time for testing and ensuring that new technology will work, Tavares said. Pushing to speed that process up "is just going to be counter productive. It will lead to quality problems. It will lead to all sorts of problems," he said. Tavares said Stellantis is aiming to avoid cuts by boosting productivity at a pace far faster than industry norm. "Over the next five years we have to digest 10% productivity a year ... in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity" improvement, he said. "The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail," Tavares said. "We are putting the industry on the limits." Electric vehicle costs are expected to fall, and analysts project that battery electric vehicles and combustion vehicles could reach cost parity during the second half of this decade. Like other automakers that earn profits from combustion vehicles, Stellantis is under pressure from both establishment automakers such as GM, Ford, VW and Hyundai, as well as start-ups such as Tesla and Rivian. The latter electric vehicle companies are far smaller in terms of vehicle sales and employment. But investors have given Tesla and Rivian higher market valuations than the owner of the highly profitable Jeep and Ram brands. That investor pressure is compounded by government policies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union, California and other jurisdictions have set goals to end sales of combustion vehicles by 2035.
