1971 Dodge Challenger

PERFECT CAR TO BUILD AS YOU WANT WITHOUT RUINING ANYTHING
AND ONLY IMPROVING ON WHAT DODGE STARTED OUT WITH IN 1971

LOOKING AT THE CAR AS IS IF YOU WHERE GOING TO RESTO-MOD IT
HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO TRANSPLANT A 69 CHARGER GRILL AND 
HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY INTO A CAR LIKE THIS FOR A REAL WOW EFFECT
IF YOU COULD DO IT WITHOUT REALLY CHOPPING UP THE CAR. THE 
CHALLENGER NEVER CAME WITH HIDE-A-WAYS, but maybe its time someone did one.

BEING THE FACTORY COLOR LOOKS TO BE CITRON YELLOW MAKES FOR A
GREAT COLOR TO BUILD ON .  Car comes with factory build sheet / but no fender tag
PIC YOUR ENGINE / TRANSMISSION / SUSPENSION AND DO IT RIGHT
IT WOULD BE A GREAT CAR, PAYOFF OR BOTH.

Heres a quick story about the car. It was used by Picture Car Warehouse for a few yrs.
If you go to their website you can still see the car on there up for rent and you
can see the black Challenger too they used for the movie (or 1 of them )
They are the ones who swiped the front sheetmetal for another project . If you saw
movie Out of Time with Justin Timberlake, the LF black fender came off one of
their stunt cars. Mr Timberlake wasnt the best driver of a 4 spd, and dented up one
of the cars he was driving in the movie. FOR that reason Im planning on keeping 
that fender and not ship it with the car because of its story.

LUCKILY just about every part you need to restore this car is available
NOW a days and finding parts is much better then it was 5 yrs ago.
RestoMod builds if done correctly can easily bring $60k plus.

THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES, but I found to keep it running I have to
keep my hand on the key, keeping it forward enough to stay running
but not engaging the starter. So it needs a starter switch in the column
I think. I can drive and move the car around like this but its a little
daunting.


OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself 
and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past
year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much
easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence.
NOT MANY OF THESE CARS WHERE MADE BACK IN THE DAY and we all know
NOT MANY ARE EVEN LEFT ON THE ROAD ANYMORE.


DRIVETRAIN: the original slant 6 runs great and the transmission
feels good too. Some cool options on the motor are AC and PS.
Motor runs great making the car easier to ship, but chances are 
Its going to be pulled out and sold. The rearend looks like an 8.75
which is a plus + . So it does run and drive and brakes are good.


INTERIOR: worn out from front to back, but the front seat
shells are worthy of restoring. Back seat is missing the back
part, but they are available used online if you are planning
on putting it all back to stock. The whole interior needs
restoration but the floors look decent. Some rust around the
rain gutters, so it will need some spot sectional repairs
Missing the 2 front door glass and regulators. Front / Rear 
and 1/4 glass looks good and there. It was a console car too.


EXTERIOR: from the doors back looks original best we can tell.
The front fenders & flat hood where really nice, but the
last owner scavenged them for their project. The car
wasnt wrecked and aprons look good too. The car will for
sure need some metal patch repairs around the body.
Its not eastcoast salt rust, its more CA near the ocean rust.
Frame, and most of the floors are really nice. Trunk is ok
but probably want to replace part of it. The car will need
patch work in several areas around the car, but again its
still better then most Ive seen for what our reserve is at.
As far as I can tell too, this car NEVER came with a vinyl top.
Citron Yella was the original color best I can tell.


SUSPENSION
: basically all stock, feels normal when driving
it around our parking lot etc.

IF YOU DONT SEE IT IN THE PICS, IT DOES NOT COME WITH 
THE CAR (aside from the lovely model who also does not
come with it , haha.)


Overall again, the car feels good for a daily driver

This car is not your typical rust free Arizona car but it is
a CA car that needs some rust repair.

These cars rarely even come up for sale anymore 
Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?

Tue, Sep 8 2015

We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
