     This Challenger is a project that I started about 10 years ago.  I replaced the quarter panels, sandblasted all the surface rust from the floors, wheel wells, and trunk.  The engine bay is repainted as well as the floors, door jams and trunk floor.  The work is quality and this will be a very nice car for whomever finishes it.  The engine is a 383 out of a 69 Chrysler Newport.  It has been bored/honed to fit new KB Hyperutectic pistons with 9.5:1 compression.  The 906 heads have hardened seats and are fully machined including a fresh valve job.  It has a mild cam and an Edelbrock 4 barrel intake.  The engine was built by a local racer and professional engine builder.  The interior is in the process of being done, all new coverings from Legendary.  All of the seat frames were sandblasted before being reassembled.  I started this car in college, moved out of state for a job, and the car sat in my Dad's garage.  It has been there for about 8 years.  Two years ago I moved back home and started working on the car again.  I started working on the body and that is when I got the paint and supplies, over $1,200 for the paint products alone.  The paint is FE5 Rally Red from Sherwin Williams automotive.  It is top of the line paint, Ultra 7000, this is the high line for Sherwin Williams and from my experience a very nice quality paint.  I have painted several projects with this paint and always appreciated its quality.  The body work that has been done is professional level and this will be an easy car to finish.  It is very dusty from sitting, but the paint work is very nice.  

    
    The car was originally a frost green metallic with dark green interior, but I thought red would look a little better.  In 1974 the Rally option was available on all models of Challenger and this car has the Rally package.  It was originally a 318 car and I have the numbers matching engine that will go with it if needed.  It has the power bulge Rally hood, Rally gauges with 7,000 rpm tach, Slap Stick automatic with console.  I have done a tremendous amount of work on this car and I would say that it is 70% done, but it would need a paint job and to be put back together.  All of the interior is purchased and comes with the car including a new headliner, all new Legendary seat covers, beautiful door panels, and everything else that is needed to complete the car.      
    The reserve is set low as I need to sell this car.  I just purchased another car and I am out of room and money.  Recently when I took the pictures, I replaced the gas, changed the cars oil, and got it running.  It has a lifter that is tapping, but I suspect this will go away as the car is driven a bit.  I have only driven it from my Mom's garage to my Dad's storage garage and there it has sat for the last 8 years or so.  It has a total of 2.5 miles on the new engine and freshened transmission.  It has a clean title and is ready for sale.  $500 deposit required within 48 hours and the balance on pick up.  Shipping within a reasonable distance may be possible, please ask and we will see what we can work out.  I have a box of receipts and pictures of the work that was done.  I have spent well over the reserve price in parts alone!  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  My cell is 702-371-2302, Jeremy.  I would consider a 1968-70 Road Runner or GTX project as a potential trade.  This will make a great car for some lucky person!

Zombie cars roundup: Dodge has sold 3 new Vipers this year

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

Dodge Hellcats getting price hike

Fri, Aug 21 2015

Dodge plans twice as many Hellcats on the road for the 2016 model year, they are going to be a bit more expensive when buyers sign on the dotted line. According to CarsDirect and confirmed to Autoblog by Dodge, 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat costs $65,190, an increase of $4,200 over 2015. That figure includes $995 for destination and $1,700 for the Gas Guzzler charge. The latest Charger SRT Hellcat retails for $68,640, a $3,650 increase. Other SRT trims of the muscle cars also see a price hike. The 2016 Challenger SRT 392 is $51,190, after destination and a $1,000 guzzler charger – a $3,500 increase. The Charger SRT 392 also jumps $3,000, to $51,990. Even at 2015's prices, Dodge was having problems keeping up with demand for the Hellcat, and the higher price isn't likely to change that. And before you think the company is going plum crazy, the 2016 models of all four muscle cars come standard with Laguna leather seats and navigation. According to company spokesperson Dan Reid to Autoblog, both items had a "very high customer take rate," and the previously optional features are valued at $2,490. Dodge previously announced a discount for those who had a sold 2015 Hellcat order canceled in the switch to 2016. Those amount to $5,000 on the Challenger and $4,000 Charger, which seems like a sweet deal for those customers. Related Video:

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?
