HERE IS A MUST HAVE CAR FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR. THIS IS A ORIGINAL JC PENNY FACTORY A/FX SUPER STOCK RACE CAR WITH FACTORY FIBERGLASS BUMPERS,HOOD,FENDERS,DOORS, DECK LID AND DASH OPTIONS INCLUDING FACTORY ALUMINUM DOOR HINGES.. SHOWCASED FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS EXCLUSIVELY IN THE WORLD SPEED EXHIBIT AT WAYNE LENSING'S HISTORIC AUTO ATTRACTIONS MUSEUM IN ROSCOE, IL. THIS 1965 DODGE CORONET A/FX SUPER STOCK WAS ORIGINALLY CAMPAIGNED IN 1965 AS THE"" PENNY PINCHER"" WITH KEITH BLACK AS THE ENGINE BUILDER. SEVERAL YEARS AFTER BEING RETIRED,THIS VEHICAL APPEARED AS A DICK LANDY CAR. AFTER THE NEW OWNER REALIZED THAT THE DOCUMENTATION WAS FALSE AND THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY NOT A LANDY CAR, HE HAD THE CAR RESERCHED BY JIM KRAMER (KRAMER AUTOMOTIVE SPEACIALTIES, HERMAN PA) IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED BY JC PENNY AND RACED IN A/FX TO PROMOTE THE STORE'S LINE OF A.FX AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS. AS IT TURNED OUT, THIS CAR IS RARER THAN ANYONE EVER EXPECTED. IT MAY BE THE ONLY ONE OF ITS TYPE IN EXISTANCE. IN 1965, THE FACTORIES WERENT ALLOWED TO USE ALUMINUM BODY PARTS ON THE CARS ANYMORE, SO THEY OFFERED THE "65" LIGHTWEIGHTS WITH ACID-DIPPED BODY PANELS. CHRYSLER INTERPRETED THE RULES IN THEIR OWN WAY AND THE RULES SPECIFIED NO ALUMINUM. HOWEVER,NHRA DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING FIBERGLASS PANELS ON THEIR ALTERED-WHEELBASE CARS, BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THEY HAD TO OFFER FIBERGLASS ON THE REGULAR (UNALTERED) CARS AS AN OPTION. AS IT TURNS OUT THE FIBERGLASS WAS COMPLETED JUST BEFORE THE NHRA RULED THAT FIBERGLASS AND ALTERED -WHEELBASE CARS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. THE FIBERGLASS PROGRAM WAS SUMMARILY SCRAPPED AFTER THE RULING BUT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, FIBERGLASS REMAINED AN OPTION ON THE STANDARD,UN-ALTERED HEMI RACE CARS, AND ONLY ONE CAR WAS ORDERED WITH THIS OPTION, THE JC PENNY RACE CAR. ITS REALLY A TRICK CAR WITH ALUMINUM DOOR HINGES,FIBERGLASS FENDERS,DORRS,HOOD,DECKLID,BUMPERS AND EVEN THE DASH. IT ALSO HAS PLEXIGLAS WINDOWS. ELECTING NOT TO RETURN THE CAR TO ITS FORMER APPEARENCE, HE BROUGHT MCDONALDS ON BOARD FOR THE FIRST EVER VENTURE INTO MOTOR SPORTS ADVERTISING. THATS RIGHT THE VERY FIRST RACE CAR EVER TO BE GRACED WITH THE GOLDEN ARCHES. COCA-COLA ALSO JOINED IN TO CREATE THE MCDONALDS COCA-COLA NOSTOLGIC RACE TEAM AS IT STILL APPEARS TODAY. AS WITH MANY ORIGINAL RACE CARS, THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS A NOM ALUMINUM HEAD,HEMI, THE ORIGINAL MAGNESIUM CROSS RAM,727 TORQUEFLIGHT AND DANA REAR END. WELL THATS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE CAR AND I HAVE THE DOCUMATION ON IT. IT TRULY IS SOMETHING FOR THE COLLECTOR. YOU CAN SEARCH YOUR WHOLE LIFE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS AND THIS COULD BE YOUR ONLY SHOT. VEH. IS FORSALE LOCALLY SO I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY.. PLEASE, SERIOUS PEOPLE CALL ME TO TALK ABOUT THE CAR. ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ,I'M HERE TO ANSWER. 267-475-4000, THANKS FOR LOOKING, BILL |

2013-14 Dodge Viper recalled over faulty door handles
Fri, Apr 10 2015The 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.

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.
Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power
Tue, 21 May 2013A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.
How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
