Up for auction is this 1982 Dodge Van. Fantastic older restoration and amazing airbrushing all around. Re-built 360 4 barrel with mild cam and dual exhaust. 20,000 miles on engine. 94,000 on van total. Nice blue grant steering wheel and tachometer. Insured as a classic for next to nothing. Was an award winner when completed 25 + years ago. Custom door panels and upper metal door interior is been airbrushed on both sides with scenes. I have access to a parts van if the winner wants to have the original radio or any extra stuff.

The photo with the aluminum rims was taken a few years ago

Older restoration and paint, roof is faded but is plain metallic blue and easy to re-paint. Drivers rear lower quarter extension behind rear wheel has had rust repair that should to be re-done or touched up. Hood is starting to fade, small chips etc. Sides and rear are nice but needs scratch touched up on driver's side. Undercarriage and floors are super-clean rust free.

Seats are original and in excellent condition, no rips, burns, or damage. Carpet is in good condition and pretty clean. Sunroof front and rear. Dash clean, no cracks.

All fluids have been changed including transmission fluid and filter. New front end bushings, universal joints, ball joints, brakes, and calipers, brand new Holley 650 4 barrel carburetor. New alternator. Has a mild cam, new throaty dual exhaust with side outlets, but still idles and sounds nice. Likes premium gas and long highway drives which I don't do enough of. E-brake works and heat.

There is a scratch on the driver's side of the van that will need to be repaired. It may be seen in the photo taken with my niece. I was going to touch the van up and carefully blow in the scratch with hobby paints, but I don't have the time to spend on it. I haven't even had time to wax it. I have used it on the highway and in town and it is reliable. I even moved with it. Front tires are new. Rear tires should be replaced. Old Cragar rims are cool and would clean-up with some SOS suds but they have areas of peeling chrome. They are vintage and have all center caps in good condition.

This Van with the right person to bring it back is really special. Needs time that I don't have to touch-up and tinker. Roadable decent daily driver as-is. Gas gauge needs to be fixed. Oil pressure is great and runs cool. Has transmission cooler. Van needs to warm up or transmission will act-up or slip after sitting for more than a week.

Van is parked in Brooklyn, New York. May put it in my garage on long island this week. Will try and get some better pictures as well. Will try and get more pictures up soon. Looks good in person but defects don't show in the pictures well. Scratch is noticeable and long. Paint is aged but serviceable. Not a show car!!!

Today I took the van for a 60 mile trip and it ran perfectly. I would feel confident to drive it anywhere. I re-checked the transmission fluid and it was low, I guess the transmission cooler adds to the capacity. I added over a quart and it really feels great. May not be new, but should not cause any trouble for many more miles. The van is also very comfortable and rides well with no rattles or squeaks.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger

Wed, Dec 18 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.
