Grill (2) are mint also excellent bumper filler pieces. Excellent original bumpers both front and rear. Valances are in great condition. Glass is all good but may be missing 1 of the door glasses.

INTERIOR: Very very nice. Rally dash is in excellent condition, NO CRACKS. all ready to go. The guages are in excellent condition. The needles were painted to brighten them up and the lens polished. All plastic is pretty much perfect. I have had a number of challengers and this car was being built for myself. If there was a flaw, it was replaced, so the console, door panels, rear sail panels and all the dash parts are nice. Locks rechromed. Visors perfect and rearview mirror detailed. I am including some overhead console parts as I was going to install one and a rear defogger motor.(N/A 1974) Brake and gas pedals have been painted and detailed. Factory AM radio is excellent as the knobs. You will need to buy carpet and headliner other than that nothing else appears missing. All the window crank handles have excellent chrome. Other than that the interior should be done. The seats are in excellent original condition. They are soft, clean, and ready to use. Some imperfections on the driverside seat (minor) but nothing needs replaced. Also the 3 spoke steering wheel in picture has been replaced with the excellent original 2 spoke. DRIVELINE: This Auction includes 2 fresh unfired engines. The 493 cost approx 8500.00 ALONE! The numbers matching original 318 I had gone through. The machinest said he had no problem believing the motor only had 24k. Anyways I had him go through and put bearings rings etc. and rebuild the motor to stock specs so if a guy wanted to redo the car to stock specs, that one is fresh, 230 horsepower and ready to go. The motor I planned on putting in it is a 1970 440 now a 493 CID stroker motor. Complete long block. Intake to pan. Built by reputable speed shop. I have the build sheet. It should produce over 500 ft/lb torque and around 550 horsepower give or take 10%. Edelbrock ALUMINUM heads, roller rockers, etc etc etc. NO corners cut. Built to run on pump gas, sit in traffic and actually use during the week but be able to run 11 second quarter miles on the weekend. I have over 8000.00 in motor alone. Transmission was rebuilt and I used it in a 1969 Coronet R/T 440 6 pack. Has very little use. manual valve body, reverse pattern, shift kit etc. Expensive Hi stall converter. Also have the original numbers tranny (I think iots a 904) Comes with 2 -8 3/4 rear ends. The stock one and I was putting reinforced a body (narrower) with hanger relocation kit. Rear axle is beautiful painted heavy on the glitter! 3 inch studs, green bearings etc. 355 posi, 489 case. Also New leaf springs. I could write for hours and hours. SERIOUS BUYERS ALLWAYS CALL. Please do. I will answer any questions you may have. There are many parts that go with the car that were not ness to its restoration but my garage is losing all E body stuff I have. There is another set of seats, a dash, a complete front suspension. I am hoping to sell this car to someone going the resto mod route that can use everything sell whats extra or build another.If the car does not bring what I need to sell I will be listing the car as a stock project and seperateing the 500, and tranny as that is a large chunk of the pie. Also I am including multipule wiring harnesses. Think of it like one of those models you had when you were a kid. the kit came with both stock and Hi-per versions. You decide!! I have had 450 transactions on ebay and 1 bad buyer that has affected my feedback. It is bound to happen sooner or later but I want to reassure buyer. I have had 100% positive feedback for 10 years. I will assist any way I can in shipping. I will sell car less motor (500) and trans (727) for 8900.00

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
Stellantis ready to kill brands and fix U.S. problems, CEO Tavares says
Thu, Jul 25 2024Â MILAN — Stellantis is taking steps to fix weak margins and high inventory at its U.S. operations and will not hesitate to axe underperforming brands in its sprawling portfolio, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Thursday. The warning for lossmaking brands is a turnaround for Tavares, who has maintained since Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA that all of its 14 brands including Maserati, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep have a future. "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down," Carlos Tavares told reporters after the world's No. 4 automaker delivered worse-than-expected first-half results, sending its shares down as much as 10%. "We cannot afford to have brands that do not make money." The automaker now also considers China's Leapmotor as its 15th brand, after it agreed to a broad cooperation with the group. Stellantis does not release figures for individual brands, except for Maserati which reported an 82 million euro adjusted operating loss in the first half. Some analysts say Maserati could possibly be a target for a sale by Stellantis, while other brands such as Lancia or DS might be at risk of being scrapped given their marginal contribution to the group's overall sales. Stellantis' Milan-listed shares were down as much as 12.5% on Thursday, hitting their lowest since August 2023. That brings the loss for the year so far to 22%, making them the worst performer among the major European automakers. Few automotive brands have been killed off since General Motors ditched the unprofitable Saturn and Pontiac during a U.S. government-led bankruptcy in the global financial crisis in 2008. Tavares is under pressure to revive flagging margins and sales and cut inventory in the United States as Stellantis bets on the launch of 20 new models this year which it hopes will boost profitability. Recent poor results from global carmakers have heightened worries about a weakening outlook for sales across major markets such as the U.S., whilst they also juggle an expensive transition to electric vehicles and growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Japan's Nissan Motor saw first-quarter profit almost completely wiped out on Thursday and slashed its annual outlook, as deep discounting in the United States shredded its margins. Tavares said he would be working through the summer with his U.S. team on how to improve performance and cut inventory.
