 70 Challenger, it has a refreshed low mileage 1965 413 engine.  New bearings, rings, swapped on 906 heads to lower the compression, head gaskets, high volume oil/water pumps.  Fresh pro built 727, kevlar bands, red alto clutches, cheetah full manual valve body.  Both engine/trans have under 150 miles.  Has a factory high stall converter from a roadrunner, 10".  The engine was factory rated at 360 horsepower, 470 torque, but now has a larger split duration cam, headers, new edelbrock 750 carb, aluminum single plane intake, hei style stand alone electronic distributor.  It revs like a 383 but has the torque of a 440. 

3" summit exhaust system with mufflers.  New gas tank, original good working 3/8 sending unit.  New carter fuel pump, mechanical.  New door/window/trunk seals.  Champion radiator and clutch style cooling fan.  Driveshaft(balanced before being installed)has the larger 7290 u-joint, 8-3/4 rear.  Swapped to later slide type front disc brakes, slotted front rotors, 11" drums in the rear.  All new/rebuilt brake parts, wheel cylinders and hardware.  Front suspension is all rebuilt, bushings, tie rods etc.  All has been painted with por 15 including rear housing.  Has welded in 2x3 frame connectors, they do come up through the floor behind the seats which is covered by the carpet. 

Bucket seats with new covers, new headliner, carpet and so on.  Pioneer cd player with aux input.  Does have a dash cap, not glued on, I had planned to send the pad out to have it redone, but looks ok as is.  After market gauges except it has the original speedometer and the original mileage is 40,9xx.  No heater box in the car, it is a factory ac car, but no parts remaining in the car from ac except firewall openings are covered, not welded/bolted, so easily removed.  Has the factory tinted glass that came in ac cars.  Window cranks not on in pic, but will be installed.  Hurst unimatic shifter in the floor, cable operated.

It sat for many years and became someones parts car.  Originally triple green.  Now black with matte black T/A stripes and hood.  It did have the lower quarters, trunk floor and partial front floor pans replaced.  Had some work around the window openings from the vtop holding moisture, deck filler/dutchman.  Valances front and rear are new goodmark pieces.  Fenders and doors and hood all were replaced and nice solid original parts.  Hood is steel with a bonded ta style scoop, used 50 dollar a tube fibertech fiberglass to smooth out.  The car was on a rotiserrie, underside blasted, por-15 painted then topped with rock it bed liner, looks like undercoating, but much easier to keep clean!  Has dupont base/clear, same black paint as a buick grand national.

Tried to list all the flaws.  I don't want to leave things out, may sound like it needs a lot, but it's a nice driver you can take to local shows and be proud of, yet not too nice you'd be afraid to drive it.  Why buy a project car that the paint and body work will cost more than one you can hop in and drive! 

Wheels are 15x7 cop style with new white letter cooper cobra tires, 235/60 and 255/60s.  Trim and bumpers were painted black, bumpers were made to look like factory rubber bumpers, but have the bolts showing so it would be easy to replace with chrome if wanted.  And trim that's blacked out can be bought new.  It's certainly no show car, I built it to drive and enjoy.  Trunk is bedlined so I wouldn't have to worry about scratching it if I wanted to use it to haul anything.  It could use some detail work or things changed to meet your tastes, like the trim is painted black on the hood/trunk areas.  Being an original 318 car, you can drive and enjoy it like these cars were made to do. 

Title in hand, I've owned the car since 06 and complete last March, it is PA inspected and I drive it 4-5 times a week locally.  I have not driven it further than 20 miles on any drive, so not sure I'd want to drive it cross country yet.  Immediate paypal deposit if you use the buy it now.  I will accept cash or cashier check, car/title will not leave my possession until the money has cleared to my account... cash at pickup would be ideal. 

Additional pics to show when it was painted before assembly.  Also one pic with a set of 17x7 and 20x8 us mag wheels, buyer can opt to get the car with the cop wheels or the us mag wheels, but only 1 set included on the car.

Lots of new parts, the car was completely disassembled to a shell while restoring it.  Inside the frame was coated with por-15 where accessible.  Inside of the quarters also.  I built the car to last.

I don't need to sell the car, so I won't give it away... but at 6'5", I find b-bodies more comfortable, so if I sell it, I will paint my 68 sport satellite and use it for my summer cruiser.  I also enjoy building them more than driving them.  I would consider partial trades, 68-70 b-bodies would be at the top of the list, but not valued over 10k, prefer a 70 roadrunner project.  Would consider other projects.   Possibly a wrecked 08 and up challenger srt/rt. Maybe even a built ls1 trans am.  Not really interested in imports.  Possibly take an R1, CBR1000 or 1 liter bike on trade towards it also... Never hurts to ask, but not looking for just anything and nothing over over 10k.

Was made an offer I agreed to and buyer found another car he wanted instead... so the car is being relisted.  This is the last time I will run the ad.  The price is firm at 16500, not accepting offers, this is my bottom dollar.  If you use the buy it now option, you will have to pay $500 immediately and this is non refundable!  So be 100% sure you are going to buy the car. 

Also I live about 2.5 hours from Carlisle.  Chrysler at Carlisle is next month and I would have no problem keeping the car here until then.  Fly in, drive it to Carlisle and drive it home.  I can also assist in shipping if needed.  There is an airport 10 mins from my house and a train station 5 mins away.

Hypermiling a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel to 38.1 mpg

Fri, May 9 2014

You never quite know what Wayne Gerdes has up his sleeve. The man who coined the term hypermiling is always looking for adventurous ways to prove that anyone – even you... yes, you – can eke out more miles per gallon just by changing the way you drive. Saying that is easy. Proving it by going on outlandish cross-country drives is hard. But for Gerdes and his team of fuel economy fiends over at CleanMPG, hard is half the fun. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. Which is why we always answer the phone when Gerdes calls. He likes to take journalists along on his drives, not only to try teach us how to hypermile but also to prove that we can be taught. The first time I 'helped' him and his team was when we got over 30 miles per gallon in a 2011 Ford F-150 XLT with the EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6. The EPA rated that truck with at just 16 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. So, we'll count that trip as a success. Next up was a cross-country drive last fall in a trio of Audi TDI vehicles to prove that you don't need to drive extra slow to beat the EPA numbers. In fact, we made it from Los Angeles to New York City in just over 46 hours, cramped but not cranky. We had once again proven that how you drive is hugely important to your fuel usage. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. The EPA says that the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel we would be driving gets just 22 combined mpg (19 city and 27 highway). Gerdes' idea was to drive it as far north from Houston, TX towards Detroit, MI as we could go on one tank. The day before we left, our itinerary got an extra stop. Instead of taking one of the official Shell Eco-marathon prototype vehicles to Detroit, it was decided to bring the winning diesel-powered prototype from the just-finished event to The Henry Ford Museum, where it had been arranged the car would be displayed. The winning car was built by a small team (just four students) from Sullivan High School in Sullivan, IN, who managed to beat a number of college teams with a score of 1,899.32 mpg. That target would be a bit out of reach for the Ram, but could we get 1,000 miles from the tank? Since the truck has a 26 gallon tank (officially, anyway), that would mean the EPA says we could only go 702 miles, assuming all highway driving. Could we make up 300 miles with careful driving? That spells both challenge and fun.

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.

121k Dodge Darts being investigated over braking problem

Mon, Jun 22 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the Dodge Dart due to reports of braking problems. Some 121,000 cars are possibly affected, all from the 2013 model year. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA received 18 complaints about the brake pedal becoming hard to depress on these cars, increasing stopping distance. Drivers reported hearing a "pop noise or an air hissing noise when applying the brake pedal, followed by a hard pedal feel and reduced brake effectiveness," NHTSA told the News. In a particularly terrifying incident, one driver says the Dart's braking system shut down while driving at 50 miles per hour. "I feared for my life. It is one of the scariest things I have ever dealt with," the complaint said, according to The Detroit News. A Fiat-Chrysler spokesperson said the automaker is "fully cooperating" with this investigation.
