1970 Dodge Charger 500 Hardtop 2-door 6.5l on 2040-cars
|
1970 dodge charger 500, great restoration project I bought this car to restore. I just bought a numbers matching 70 R/T charger so I have to let this one go.
It was a 318 car originally and now has a healthy 400 in it. This is a very easy engine to stroke up to 500 or 512. Engine runs good and has headers already and does not smoke, was an a/c car but the components are missing from under the hood and dash. Transmission it came with was a 727 which was removed as it wasn't salvageable. So it was and is easily a running car, I drove it 1,000 miles when I bought it last year but will need a transmission of whatever flavor you want to put in it. Very solid body with nice frame rails, floor pans are so-so, trunk pan was done in fiberglass by someone, it's functional, roof is solid, bottom of back window is solid, solid fenders, solid doors, may need some quarter patches as it has rust and bondo in the quarters as usual. Was originally a vinyl roof car and those trims are present. Burnt orange metallic car with matching interior. They spray canned the car a matte black and added centerline mags as a Fast-n-furious type look I suppose. Windows are all present and work, they had been tinted very dark. fender tag is missing, but unless you are going for a return to 'as-built' condition you won't miss it. Dash gauges are all present and worked but were not calibrated properly. Dash itself is in pretty good condition and that's good as that tends to be an expensive part. Interior is original interior minus a headliner. Car ran and drove good but not sure if I would trust it on a long trip as it's biggest issue is wiring or lack of good wiring by previous owners. I have purchased a Ron Francis complete wiring kit for this car which can be included if the winning bidder wants to add it in for $400. Power drum brake car and the booster needs a new membrane as they don't have power but are manual drums right now. Overall a solid car that presents well even in this condition. I gauge it as about a medium resto project. A lot of detail work if you're going for an as stock restoration. If you are just building up a street prowling Mopar than a lot of the work can be even easier as you're not confined by concourse standards. Would make an excellent build for someone who has a little time to create a nice racer or pro street style Charger. Or just throw in a transmission, better wiring harness and a new brake booster and drive as is! Being a 318 car originally you can build it up or clone it into an R/T without altering one of the very valuable cars. The Car has a good street look and it can be built up to be a nasty street car or drag car. As I have several other cars to rebuild I need the money elsewhere. I was not going to sell this car but there's no sense in keeping it now that I have a fully restored R/T. |

Stellantis is official: FCA and PSA merger finally sealed
Sat, Jan 16 2021MILAN — Fiat Chrysler and PSA sealed their long-awaited merger on Saturday to create Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest auto group with deep enough pockets to fund the shift to electric driving and take on bigger rivals Toyota and Volkswagen. It took over a year for the Italian-American and French automakers to finalize the $52 billion deal, during which the global economy was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. They first announced plans to merge in October 2019, to create a group with annual sales of around 8.1 million vehicles. "The merger between Peugeot S.A. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. that will lead the path to the creation of Stellantis N.V. became effective today," the two automakers said in a statement. Shares in Stellantis, which will be headed by current PSA Chief Executive Carlos Tavares, will start trading in Milan and Paris on Monday, and in New York on Tuesday. Now analysts and investors are turning their focus to how Tavares plans to address the huge challenges facing the group – from excess production capacity to a woeful performance in China. Tavares will hold his first press conference as Stellantis CEO on Tuesday, after ringing NYSE's bell with Chairman John Elkann. FCA and PSA have said Stellantis can cut annual costs by over 5 billion euros ($6.1 billion) without plant closures, and investors will be keen for more details on how it will do this. Marco Santino, a partner at consultants Oliver Wyman, said he expected Tavares to disclose the outlines of his action plan soon, but without divulging too many details at first. "He has proven to be the kind of person who prefers action to words, so I don't think he will make loud statements or try to over-sell targets," he said. Like all global automakers, Stellantis needs to invest billions in the years ahead to transform its vehicle range for the electric era. But other pressing tasks loom, including reviving the group's lagging fortunes in China, rationalizing its huge global empire and addressing massive overcapacity. "It will be a step by step process, also to allow the market to better appreciate every single move. I don't think we will have all the details before one year," Santino said.
Dodge Viper now available in matte finish
Tue, Jun 23 2015The prospect of buying a new Dodge Viper just got that much more enticing with the introduction of matte-finish paint direct from the factory. Available as part of the "1 of 1" customization program, the matte finishes aren't being offered in just a handful of colors like some other automakers do: customers will be able to specify a matte finish on any of the 8,000 colors that are already part of the program's palette. The matte finish option adds yet another step to the exhaustive hand-painting process that Dodge offers on the Viper - a painstaking endeavor that takes upwards of 145 man hours to complete. Specialists start by applying a base coat and a clear finish, followed by the paint and clear coat. The finished body panels are then smoothed with 1,000-grit paper and polished. A second sanding process is required for the matte finish before the application of a matte clear coat. Specify custom stripes (available in five colors or by custom order) and they're applied under the paint, not as decals on top. The availability of the matte finish in conjunction with the stripe options and new satin badging and fuel cap leads to over 50 million combinations. Needless to say, that means no two Vipers need ever leave the Conner Avenue assembly plant the same – though there will surely always be certain favorite combinations, especially on those units ordered from outside the customization program.

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand
Thu, May 14 2015Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.
