1968 Dodge Charger 383 Hp Auto Project Mopar 68 69 70 Dukes Hazzard Bullitt Rt on 2040-cars
Jackson, Mississippi, United States
|
Up for auction a great project 1968 Dodge Charger. The car started life with a 383 HP big block and an automatic 727 transmission on the floor. This car was ordered new in an odd format. The car was originally gold with gold interior and a white vinyl top. It has factory A/C, but what I found odd is that it was ordered with a tic-toc-tac but is an automatic car. Most automatic cars that I have owned did not have the tach and would only have a clock. The car also came with a 3.23 Sure-Grip 8 3/4 rearend. So I guess the original owner wanted a pretty decent muscle car, but didn't want the additional cost of an R/T model. Either way, It was an unusual, but very nice car back in the day.
The car is solid, for the most part, with typical Charger/B-body rust in the rear. The frame rails are solid with typical wear and tear from floor jacks, curbs, etc., but I could not see any rust issues on the rails. At some point in the car's past it was wrecked on the driver side. The exterior sheet metal was replaced but you can still see signs of damage in the left front wheel well and the left rear outer wheelhouse. Besides the left fender and quarter, the door was replaced too and it opens and shuts just fine. The car was repaired like most body shops did back in the day; they did an exterior cosmetic repair and didn't bother with the rest. The car has a nice woodgrain steering wheel and I did not notice any cracks. The interior was dyed/painted red. The carpet material was glued to the floors so I am not able to peel it back without ripping it to pieces. The floors (interior & trunk) were patched at some point and they hold up fine, but should be replaced if you plan to build the car to "show quality" standards. All in all, they car would be a great start for someone who has been looking for a Charger, but do not want to spend $10k for a project. I originally purchased the car with the intensions of doing a cheap low-buck Charger build. Kind of like the guys did on the show "Roadkill" (Youtube it... it's quite interesting). I have too many other Mopar projects and decided to sell it so that maybe someone else can enjoy it. The car shows 60,568 miles. I am not sure if that is the original mileage or is it has rolled over. The car has been off the road for many years, so it could possibly be accurate. The car does not have and engine or transmission. A few other missing parts that I can think of are the passenger bucket seat, grille assembly, rear seat, rear glass, driver side quarter glass, front and rear bumpers, radio, and misc trim. What you see in the pictures, is what will go with the car. I do not have a title for the car but I do have two Bill of Sales from the previous owners. After the sell, I will assist in getting a title for the car if you are interested. Here in MS, I can apply for a title with at least two BOS. The car DOES have it's original fender tag and it decodes as followed: For MANY additional pictures of this car, I have have set up a photo album at: http://s6.photobucket.com/user/CornDog05/library/1968%20Dodge%20Charger%20RED

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval
Mon, Jun 8 2020BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
