Rare Dodge Challenger Convertible Slant 6. Car is in excellent condition. I have too many classics and need to make some room. This car is too nice not to be driven or shown. I had a full restoration done on this car about 2 years ago and I'm lucky if I drove it 20 miles. I pulled it out to check everything and all checks out fine. The only thing I noticed was the snaps that mount to rear panel that top boot cover snaps to are in a bag in the trunk and not installed. I never noticed after restoration because I never put the top down. There is also a little staining on intake manifold under air cleaner where some gas leaked when engine was installed.

This Challenger has a matching numbers drive train. I forgot where the numbers were so didn't take picture but I can guarantee that they are all there and match as I witnessed all numbers during restoration to make sure (radiator support, cowl, engine, transmission, rear end, all match). The car is restored to what it was when new. When I bought it the car was still wearing it's original paint. The only questionable thing is the bumble bee stripe. The fender tag does not call for it but as I said the car had it's original paint and the stripe was on it painted the way they did back in 1970, so I figured either the dealership added the stripe or the factory. I saved the original trunk lid with stripe for anyone who wanted to check. This car was found in a barn in southern Rhode Island. The car had not seen the road since the 70's. I paid someone a finders fee and 20k for the car and then sent it to the restoration shop for a rotisserie nut and bolt restoration.

Dodge produced 378 Challenger Slant 6's. There are very few left, especially full matching numbers. Most people pulled out the slant engines and put a big block in the car since all convertibles were set up with torque boxes to receive all engines. When was the last time you saw one with full matching drive train? I have a Hemi clone convertible and this Slant car get's all the attention. It's just refreshing to see a car that is what it was and nothing more. There was a write up in Hemmings about a similar car from Massachusetts that had similar options but engine was not matching, it was also featured in Mopar Magazine, I believe. In any case a refreshing original change.

I know how hard it can be to buy a car on the internet. I have bought many from honest sellers and 1 from a not so honest seller. I will answer any questions and invite you to view the car for inspection. If you need to fly in to view, I can assist.

Thank You For Viewing,

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.
