1968 Dodge Coronet. Started life as a fleet car, 225 slant 6 with a 3 speed on the column. Manual steering and brakes. Radio delete. I still have the original motor and trans (engine seized). The car still has the clutch pedal in it. This car had been sitting for at least 20 years before I got it. I always wanted a post 68 Coronet, but I have other projects now so life must move on.

Since I have done so much to this car, I will probably forget somethings but I will do my best. I started by pulling the /6 and K-member out. Replace K-member with V8. All new front end (upper and lower control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rods, pitman, idler, strut rod bushings. Drums turned, new shoes, wheel cylinders, rubber lines, hardware and adjusters. Grease it all, back together. New master cylinder. 8.75 rear, 3.23 sure-grip, new axle seals, new wheel cylinders, shoes, drums turned, hardware and adjusters. All 4 new shocks. New gas tank and sender (sender does not read the most accurate, but gauge does work) New 3/8ths line from tank to pump. New aluminium radiator, water pump, trans cooler. All new drive line with big 1350 solid Spicer u-joints. New steering column. I think that about covers it for chassis.

1974 cast crank 440 out of a motor home. No idea on mileage. The motor was rebuilt at some time, guessing not long before I got it. I changed heads to 516 closed chambers with a 1.74 exhaust valve. Double roller timing chain. Cam is a 335 HP 383 Mopar "purple shaft" cam. .450/.458 lift (tiny, I know). Torker intake. Heddman headers with a 3 inch Hooker Aerochamber exhaust. Engine has 75 psi oil pressure when cold, 45 psi warm. Cranking compression is 124-128psi. Good solid motor. Has a Moroso deep sump pan that has seen better days. Trans is a fully rebuilt 727 with a full manual forward pattern valve body. Deep trans pan with drain plug.

Body of the car is rough. Needs body work on every panel. The way it sits now it has NO bondo at all in it. I sanded the car all the way to bare metal and shot over it in a sealer primer. If you want some more detailed photos, I will try and get all of the major stuff and e-mail it to you. I would recommend doing rear quarters but you can probably just patch. Needs a trunk floor. All frame and floor boards are 100% rock solid. All glass is there. New windshield. New heater core. All lights and dash lights work. Factory temp gauge does not work. Speedo has new cable and works great. All interior is shot. I do have the back seat. I do have the dash surround and glove box door and ash tray. I do NOT have the radio delete plate. I have the window moldings and chrome trim. I have a Coronet 500 grill and bezels. I have all the marker lights and the "CORONET" and "DODGE" lettering for the quarters and tail section. I do have a rear bumper, but it is pretty much junk.

That is about all I can think of right now. I have all the reciepts for everything I have done and bought. If you have questions feel free to ask. I am not desperate to sell this car. I will not reveal the reserve. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Car would drive cross country if you didn't mind it loud and drafty :)

Once again, ask all the questions you want.

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles

Fri, Dec 7 2018

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is tapping executives from Amazon and Shell Oil Company with previous automotive industry experience to fill its ranks. CEO Mike Manley said in a letter to employees Thursday that Mark Stewart would join FCA as chief operating officer of North America from Amazon, "a company known for its culture of innovation, and obsession with delivering incredible value to customers." At Amazon, Stewart led teams focused on advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and automation methods. He previously was COO of ZF TRW automotive components supplier. Niel Golightly was named head of global communications. He was most recently Shell's vice president for external relations in North and South America, with a focus on reputation, brand and stakeholder engagement beyond communication strategies. He previously held roles at Ford Motor Company. Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM FCA Amazon shell Mike Manley

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.

Stellantis launching at least 25 EVs for America by 2030

Tue, Mar 1 2022

Stellantis has announced a wide-ranging plan for the company through 2030 covering everything from product to financials. The product plans are what really caught our attention, particularly for the surprise reveal of the first electric Jeep, as well as new teasers of the electric Ram 1500. But the company also provided more broad details on what we'll be seeing in the future including both electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. All of the plans are in service of the Stellantis goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2038. On that way, it plans for all European vehicle sales and half of all American sales to be electric by 2030. It will launch 75 new electric vehicles by that year, and at least 25 of them will be coming to the U.S. The first of those electric cars will be the aforementioned Jeep in 2023, but many Stellantis models will follow close behind. The electric Ram ProMaster will launch in 2023 as well. In 2024, we'll see the electric Ram (and its plug-in hybrid counterpart), two more Jeeps (an off-road model and a family-oriented model) and the Dodge electric muscle car. We'll get a preview of the Dodge with a concept this year. Then in 2025, Chrysler will launch its electric car, likely based on the Airflow concept. Stellantis has previously announced Chrysler will be fully electric by 2028, and it further announced that Alfa Romeo and Maserati will be fully electric by 2030. Stellantis is also working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, mainly for commercial use. For the U.S., it plans on offering a large, ProMaster-size hydrogen van in 2025. That year or a little later, it also has plans for a hydrogen heavy-duty pickup truck, presumably Ram 2500 and 3500. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares noted that among the benefits of hydrogen for large and commercial vehicles is being able to avoid compromising payload capacity, since hydrogen powertrains are lighter than giant batteries. Hydrogen filling times are quick relative to charging, too. The company will continue working on and offering advanced driver aids. This year it will offer hands-free cruise control like GM's Super Cruise and Ford's BlueCruise. In 2024, the company intends to introduce a system that is hands-free and won't require the driver to be watching it the entire time. The technology is being developed alongside BMW. These are, of course, broad plans, and they could change as time goes on. Expect more details as we get closer to individual product releases.
