I've owned this car since 1994, It's originally a South Carolina car and never seen any winters, there is no rust anywhere. It was originally a 383 4 barrel car which I have put a built 440 in it's place with only about 5,000 miles on the engine since the build. The engine starts with a 71 block and was bored 30 over using plates that simulate the heads being torqued down, stock rods with forged aluminum TRW 6 pack pistons with valve reliefs, and a forged crank, 1/2" oil pickup tube and drilled block to the oil pump 1/2"  906 heads with oversize manley severe duty 2.14/1.81 stainless steel valves. 3 angle valve job. Crower dual pattern camshaft 292 - 310 duration 537 - 523 lift. 10.20:1 compression ratio. Stock rockers, shafts, pushrods. This engine was professionally built and blueprinted and has a Mopar M1 single plane intake with a Holley 750 double pumper carb equipped with a proform main body that eliminates the choke tower and larger main jets. The oil pan is a Moroso chrome 7 1/2 quart. There is a Be Cool aluminum radiator with an electric fan for engine cooling. The transmission was built at the same time as the engine with racing/street use in mind to compliment the semi radical engine. The transmission was completely rebuilt and has a reverse manual shift valve body and a Mopar deep pan. Then a Turbo Action 10" converter was installed. There is a remote transmission cooler mounted under the radiator to keep it cool. The rear end is an 8 3/4" with a 355 sure grip/posi 489 case. Mopar Super Stock leaf springs with custom built front spring hangers which allowed me to move the axle back 1" for the 28" tires with no clearance issues. I then purchased a Mancini racing driveshaft fully balanced 1" longer than stock to compensate the custom front spring hangers. It also has bolt in Mopar frame connectors and Mopar/MSD 6AL ignition with rev limiter. Holley red electric fuel pump located near the fuel tank which helps feed the Carter mechanical 8 psi pump on the engine. The tires are Mickey Thompson all around sportsman pro rear sportsman fronts. 28x12.5-15 rears on centerline polished auto drag rims 15x10 rear. Jet Coated headers with 3" flowmaster dual exhaust this car really shakes and rumbles the ground you can feel it running in your chest, and very quick. Next a line loc was added to heat the tires for drag strip use. Battery is located in the trunk. The car was professionally and flawlessly painted in 1999 still looks and is flawless this car is perfectly straight no waves or ripples whatsoever and very deep paint. The color is Porsche Red. Both bumpers have been re Chromed and the trunk lid chrome has been replaced along with the quarter end pieces and front fender ends which include the signals. All rubber pieces, door gaskets and window felts were replaced. The place that painted it is the best in the area and is known for their perfect paint jobs. They were the former Custom Body Shop here in Utica, N.Y. now it's named CARS Collision. They are also Mopar fanatics. The seats I've changed to race style in front, and re carpeted the interior and installed a custom instrument panel with all AutoMeter gauges throughout. Also added a CD player and removed the heater box and dash ducts for weight savings, also because I never use or planned to use the car in any inclement weather. This car has never seen rain since the paint job was done in 1999. I do still have the heater box and clove compartment liner saved in case I ever wanted to put it back in. I made the aluminum panel attached to the firewall to hide the heater motor hole along with the ac/heater hoses holes. This car was equipped with ac originally, and I saved the condenser along with the lines. This car was also a vinyl top car originally which the body shop welded the holes where the moldings go during the paint job, I like this style charger without the vinyl tops, my opinion. This car runs perfectly and is turn key, you get in & go. Ive set this car up for pro street type of use, you can go to the drag strip or just cruise the streets, it offers a great ride. This car looks so nice the paint is phenomel the sound is fantastic also this is a beauty.  Here is the you tube link of my car /address;  http://youtu.be/8xPuXW-nXqU

EV cost burden pushing automakers to their limits, says Stellantis' CEO Tavares

Wed, Dec 1 2021

DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said external pressure on automakers to quickly shift to electric vehicles potentially threatens jobs and vehicle quality as producers struggle with EVs' higher costs. Governments and investors want car manufacturers to speed up the transition to electric vehicles, but the costs are "beyond the limits" of what the auto industry can sustain, Tavares said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference released Wednesday. "What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle," he said. "There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay." Automakers could charge higher prices and sell fewer cars, or accept lower profit margins, Tavares said. Those paths both lead to cutbacks. Union leaders in Europe and North America have warned tens of thousands of jobs could be lost. Automakers need time for testing and ensuring that new technology will work, Tavares said. Pushing to speed that process up "is just going to be counter productive. It will lead to quality problems. It will lead to all sorts of problems," he said. Tavares said Stellantis is aiming to avoid cuts by boosting productivity at a pace far faster than industry norm. "Over the next five years we have to digest 10% productivity a year ... in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity" improvement, he said. "The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail," Tavares said. "We are putting the industry on the limits." Electric vehicle costs are expected to fall, and analysts project that battery electric vehicles and combustion vehicles could reach cost parity during the second half of this decade. Like other automakers that earn profits from combustion vehicles, Stellantis is under pressure from both establishment automakers such as GM, Ford, VW and Hyundai, as well as start-ups such as Tesla and Rivian. The latter electric vehicle companies are far smaller in terms of vehicle sales and employment. But investors have given Tesla and Rivian higher market valuations than the owner of the highly profitable Jeep and Ram brands. That investor pressure is compounded by government policies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union, California and other jurisdictions have set goals to end sales of combustion vehicles by 2035.

How good would this look as a Dodge? New Peugeot 408 is a cool EV crossover coupe

Wed, Jun 22 2022

Americans have long lusted after the forbidden fruits of the automotive markets: Vehicles offered elsewhere but not sold here in the United States. When Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, former parent to Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and others, joined forces with PSA (Peugeot and others), there was hope that Americans could get hold of some quirky French cars as part of the deal. That hasn’t happened, at least not yet. As it turns out, Europeans get just as many boring crossovers as we do, though Peugeot thinks it has a solution with the new 408, an aerodynamic compact crossover with style for days. While we seriously doubt a rebadged 408 would ever show up on our shores, it's easy to imagine how a vehicle looking something like this on the same electrified platform could spawn a viable product for the American market. Squint a bit and "new electric Dodge Intrepid" comes to mind.  Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that France would come out with a new vehicle that seems well-matched to the American market. Utility vehicles made up 46% of new vehicle sales in France in May, matching the sales numbers of sedans in the country. PeugeotÂ’s banking on the fact that many people want the space and usability of a compact SUV but tire of the styling and ubiquity of the vehicle type. The fastback shape provides a more dramatic design look without completely sacrificing the characteristics that make SUVs so popular.  Peugeot offers a traditional SUV in the 3008, but the 408 is sleeker and more aerodynamic. The automaker says that the 408 “offers a feline stance and unique allure, engineering excellence focused on efficiency and intelligent electrification, as well as the emotions provided by cutting-edge technologies dedicated to driving pleasure and instinctive use." Two plug-in hybrid powertrains will be offered first, producing 180 and 225 horsepower. A standard gas model will also be available with a 130-horsepower engine. All variants get an eight-speed gearbox, and Peugeot says an electric model will come later. No Stellantis brand in the United States currently offers a purely electric vehicle.  Peugeot will build the 408 at its plant in Mulhouse, France, for the European market. The vehicle will go on sale early in 2023 and will later become available in China. Related video: Featured Gallery 2023 Peugeot 408 Green Green Dodge Citroen Crossover Future Vehicles

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
