Hi, Just out of storage, I am offering for sale my 1996 DODGE INDY 500 SPECIAL EDITION ram truck that is one of the documented official pace trucks that ran the track along side the dodge viper pace car at the 80th Indy 500 in 1996. The truck is in amazing condition with no rust on body and only a few small scuffs that I have touched up and looks good waxed. The truck still has the black undercoating on the frame and underneath. The truck has numerous factory upgrades for the road course like tubular upper and lower control arms, stiffer lowering springs and spindles, Mopar axle flip, tubular transmission cross member, pan-hard bar and a 4'' custom Moser aluminium driveshaft that is polished. It also has 4 new Falken racing 275 tires and forged aluminium wheel spacers. the truck has a factory Mopar roll-pan with all logos still visible and all original decals intact. the drivetrain has been extensively upgraded with no corners cut for quality. The engine is a 434CI stroked small block with 650hp AFR195 heads, victor Jr intake, Harland sharp roller rockers, comp cams BMT cam and valvetrain, march stainless pulleys, MSD ignition 6al with boost timing master, Eaton side mounted supercharger, Powerjection 3 EFI system with laptop tuning software and Usb plug in cab, 1-3/4 Hedman headers, doug's electric exhaust cutouts with switches in console, flowmaster original 40 series exhaust, custom vibrant front mount intercooler, HID kit in headlights and fogs, 1997 viper T-56 6 speed transmission conversion with factory new clutch, Richmond 4:10 race gears in rear end with Auburn Limited slip unit, custom console with blue suede inside cab with shifter boot still to finish soon, custom pioneer navigation system with stock infinity amp and kappa speakers,custom gauges displayed on radio screen and boost and air/fuel gauge customized on dash. there is many other small upgrades but i dont have room to list them all.

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat
Fri, 11 Jul 2014So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.
