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!

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.
NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
