Very rare 1980 Dodge Challenger. One owner car with only 49,346 miles! The original owner (who's in her late 80's now) just used this little two door, as grocery getter. It's a fine example of a very low mileage, rust free, California car! Starts right up, runs good, and goes straight as a arrow. The Power 4 wheel Disc brakes stop great, with no pulling. Power Steering doesn't leak or make noise. It's a very simple, economical driver, with a 4 cylinder Mitsubishi engine. Everything works, except the Cruise Control. Probably something simple, but I haven't had time to mess with. I took lots of pictures, and will try to answer all your questions. The hot California sunshine has caused a few cracks to the interior, and blemishes to exterior, here and there. All-in-all, it's pretty nice. Front seats are great, with no holes, tears and feel flexible. Rear seat bottoms (plaid part) do have a few holes, and feel a little brittle. Some of the decorative buckles on the seats are missing. Carpet and headliner are excellent. All glass is great. Windows roll up-and-down with ease. The factory black paint around window trim is starting to deteriorate. The drivers side mirror has a couple of pieces of plastic missing. Looks to be the original spare tire, complete with jack. Trunk is mint! Body is straight, and does not appear to have any repairs. She did have it repainted back in the late 90's, only because the sunshine had faded and baked off some of the paint. She did not want to have the emblems put back on, so I only have one of the original Challenger scripts that were on the fenders and trunk lid. ( I just placed it there for the photo). Has current registration and tags. Have the clear California Title. I work full time, so will only be checking emails in the evening, Pacific Time. There are a couple of You-tube video's playing the 70-80's Dodge commercials of these cars. Found more info on the engine and specs in the eBay parts and accessories literature. Seems that this car was way ahead of it's time when built. Has a Hemi head 4 cylinder that does not use a smog pump! As a car enthusiast, and owner of various 60-70's Mopars over the years, I have tried to describe this car to the best of my knowledge. Car is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Also, check out the only other one that I could find. It's at Hawaii Craigslist!

How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system
Sat, Jul 25 2015If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking
Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production
Wed, Dec 10 2014Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.
Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.
