This is the first time I have ever offered this car for sale. My 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Plum Crazy Hemi Convertible clone car. It runs with a crate 528 cubic inch aluminum heads Hemi engine with 610 horsepower and 650 ft-lbs of torque. Custom built 727 automatic transmission, 8 3/4  sure grip posi traction, 3:23 rear axle, power disc brakes with electric vacuum pump and power steering. IT is loaded with all new rubber door and trunk seals, black side stripe decals, black stripe on R/T hood, 426 metal emblems on hood, dual painted mirrors, flip top gas cap, rally gauges, tack, and power top. A cost of over $120,000.00 was spent building this beautiful show car just prior to me driving it about 1900 miles and that was a very cool once in a life time kind of experienc and pleasure. It's not any day or every day when a Hemi challenger convertible pulls up to the gas pumps, in fact every time I did , before I turned the engine off there was a croud gathered around it.The tack and speed odometer work well and the total milage registered on the odometer is 11878. This may be the actual miles on the body but I'am not sure of that but of course by looking at it you would think it had 78 miles. I'am getting into my senior years now and with regrets due to health issues I'am forced to sell this car as well as other cars that I own. The car is located on British Columbia,Canada and it can be sold with either a USA registration or a Canadian registration, I can do that for the buyer. The seller shall and will make every responsible effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of the auction.All the winter photos were taken in Nov 2013 and it was about 10 below zero thats why I did not snap the toneau cover down tightly, if it were sommer then it would fit nicely.Now that I have decided to sell this car there is two seprate locals gents that are trying to put a deal together ,so if any one of them come up with the funds before the auction runs its course then I do reserve the right to stop the auction and sell it locally. THIS IS GOING FOR A SECOND AND FINAL ROUND TO SEE IF I CAN GET ANY CLOSER TO MY LOWEST DOLLAR.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020

Mon, Aug 31 2015

We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"
