1978 Dodge Charger SE. 3rd owner car! 88,406 miles on body. I was a professional Mechanic and Service Manager for 10 years, and I'm as close to a perfectionist as you can get. At 82,000 miles, I performed the following work to the car:

.040 over Jasper 360 short block engine
Lightly massaged factory Cylinder Heads
Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold, Carb, Cam, and Lifter kit
Headers and custom 3" stainless steel Exhaust.
Transmission rebuilt with mild Shift Kit installed.
Differential serviced.
New Power Steering Pump.
New master Cylinder.
New Radiator & Fan Clutch.
New Alternator.
New A/C Compressor & Expansion Valve w/134A refrigerant.
New Belts, Hoses, Ignition Wires, etc.
Virtually EVERYTHING under the hood was replaced! In addition, I have also replaced;
Shock Absorbers
Wheel Bearings
4 New Tires/Alignment
Inside, I have installed a Kenwood CD player/stereo w/4 new speakers, a small console tachometer, and a triple gauge set. The remainder of the interior you see in the pictures is all original, except the Rear View Mirror and the console cover which needed re-covering. There are no cracks in the original dash pad, and the interior is in great shape!
     The car runs like new, and is driven weekly. I would hop in and drive this car ANYWHERE (and do)! 
While a beautiful car and a great running classic, it is not perfect. I have not addressed any of the bodywork on the car yet. It was rust-proofed by the original selling dealer (it's everywhere!), but time does take it's toll on older cars of this age. Please look at the pictures. On the right side, there is some rust beginning to show through the lower fenderwells, and there are two spots directly below the vinyl top that have rusted through and will need attention. In addition, this car was ordered with the heavy sound insulation package. Unfortunately the trunk seal had failed, and the sound insulation saturated and began some rust in the trunk. I removed the insulation upon buying the car, but the damage was done. The edges of the trunk lid have a little surface rust due to poor prep procedures from an old repair job. I don't believe the car has EVER been in a major accident, but the couple shades of Burgundy that are on it tells me it's had a few previous minor scrapes.
     The ONLY thing I could say that's not perfect about the engine is that apparently it's got a "lazy lifter". From time to time when started cold, one lifter will tick lightly until it pumps up. It's a minor issue, but one I have wanted to address. The interior will need a new headliner (it has been replaced, but is sagging), and there is a very small tear in the driver's seatback.
     I have done my best to honestly represent what this car is (and isn't). While not perfect, it is still a beautiful example of Chrysler's Cordoba/Charger/Magnum body style, and far more rare than a Cordoba due to lower sales numbers. I do believe this to be a "one of one" optioned car, but I can not verify that fact. I have over $10,000.00 invested, and must sell immediately. 
     Please remember that your bid is a binding agreement to purchase. If you're not serious, don't place a bid! I am advertising this car locally, and reserve the right to cancel auction at any time. $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT is due within 24 hours of auction close. Remainder of payment MUST be made within one week, and vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks. If you have any questions, please email me. I will answer any questions that I can. Thank you!

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.

Challenger A/T Unlimited Concept could be your next Hellcat-powered ORV

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

This past June I spent an excellent day hanging out with Joey Ruiter, driving and discussing his Reboot Buggy project. Before heading home, I let him know that he was more than welcome to keep me abreast of whichever new automotive project he'd get into. You can never have too many car designers and one-off fabricators in your Rolodex, right?
Ruiter recently made good with the follow-up, emailing me with details on this Dodge Challenger A/T Untamed Concept that pushes a lot of hot buttons for the muscle car and off-roading enthusiasts.
This all-terrain Mopar is a lot more than a Challenger body dropped on a truck chassis, too. A materialized version of the A/T would included a completely new, long-travel suspension, skid plates, body armor and rock sliders, and obviously flared fenders to help accommodate a hellacious set of off-road-ready tires. The dramatically revised underpinnings would be topped with a slick graphics package and a killer lower light bar, all making the A/T look quite cohesive in its own, radical way. And the result would be a car no longer limited to mere road-driving.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
