1971 Dodge Dart Swinger Panther Pink Fresh Restoration Mopar Demon Duster 340 on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
1971 Dodge Dart Swinger Panther Pink! Fresh Restoration! Up for you consideration is a very nice example of very cool car. This car was born as a slant six, automatic, grocery getter. That has now been taken care of! What we now have is a beautiful panther pink hot rod, ready to make people smile for years to come! Every single piece on the car has either been restored, or replaced with high quality parts. There have also been safety, and reliability items added to make it that much more enjoyable to own, and drive. Factory air conditioning is also present! To start, the body was completely disassembled and cleaned. The car was, and is, completely 100% rust free. All panels are solid as a rock, and original to the car. The body received very minimal body work to make it straight as an arrow. Once it was ready, it them received a very high quality two stage paint job. Three coats of base, and four coats of clear of high quality DuPont product. After the paint cured, it then receive a nice wet sand and buff, bringing the panther pink to life! Its stunning! The pictures do not do the car justice. We then applied the 340 hood treatment, and the bumble bee stripe around the rear. They really give the car a muscular look. Brand new weatherstrip was installed all around the car. The interior was next on the list to bring the car up to the highest standard. The interior received all new upholstery top to bottom. New seat upholstery, door panels, rear side panels, carpeting, and headliner. Looks better than new! The dash pad was redone exactly like the original and looks beautiful on the powder coated dash panel. All off the dash bezels were also redone at the same time. To add some muscle to the interior I installed a tuff grip steering wheel, along with the correct horn cap and adaptor. A brand new shifter boot and trim ring was also pit in to wrap around the 340 3 speed chrome shifter. You have to see it to believe it! To make the car stop and turn as good as it looks, the entire suspension, front to rear, has been rebuilt or replaced! Polyurethane bushings were installed to tighten up the suspension, and really give it a nice ride. All new ball joints, tie rods, idler arm give it a tight steering feel and make it a joy to carve the corners. New shocks were installed all around as well. This was the time to upgrade those weak front drum brakes. The large bolt pattern disc brakes were installed on the front, and the large 10x2.5" rear drums were added to the 8 3/4" heavy duty rear axle with Yukon axles and green bearings. The car stops like a new car. Also installed was the more modern master cylinder, and brand new brake lines. Nothing needs to be done except to drive it! The 318 under the hood has received some love. A Mopar Performance purple cam was added to give it a nice rumble at idle, and provide some good breathing for the Edelbrock Torker 340 intake, and NOS Carter 600 cfm carb. Hei ignition, one wire alternator, MSD plug wires, Edelbrock valve covers, and much more. No expense was spared with the exhaust system. TTI headers were installed, along with the full TTI exhaust system front to back! The car sounds amazing! Has a very nice rumble to it, but isn't annoyingly loud. The three speed manual transmission shifts nice and smooth with no grinding or any other issues. The flywheel has been resurfaced and a brand new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing were installed. Good to go for years to come! A new fuel tank and sending unit were installed as well. The exterior received a lot of added attention. Brand new AMD bumpers were installed front and rear. Brand new tail light, and park light lenses were also installed! An original set of hood pins were also added to give it that true muscle car vibe. A brand new vinyl top was installed, and all of the exterior trim was straightened and polished like new. A brand new windshield was also installed. To give the car a bit of a modern look I also put some nice wheels and tires on it. 18x7 on the front, and 18x8 on the rear really give it a nice look. As you can see, there were no short cuts taken building this beautiful car. It runs, drives, looks, and sounds, AMAZING!!! You will not be disappointed to show this car to your friends. I get thumbs up everywhere I take it. The girls really like the car too. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. There are a lot of things I have forgotten to add I'm sure. I can also provide many other photos on request. Thanks! And happy bidding!

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep
Wed, Oct 28 2020MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways
Sat, Feb 7 2015Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
