 Here we have a super nice survivor I actually found when I was out garage saling during a town-wide sale out in the country. The son of the original owner was selling due to his fathers death and mother not being able to drive anymore. It has never sat for any long period of time. It was periodically used to keep everything working well. I drove it home and it drove like a dream. The radial tires are excellent, the exhaust is quiet, it drives straight, brakes good, and it actually feels like a Cadillac compared to the older mopar musclecars I have. It's truly a most enjoyable ride. It is all original other then the rear lower quarters under the side trim were touched up. The son stated there was some lower surface rust his father didn't like and had a body shop do the minor repairs. The rest is all original FE5 rallye red. original vinyl top, original seat covers. carpeting, dash. trunk. engine compartment etc. When is the last time you saw a 2 dr 75 coronet, let alone in rallye red, with the original road wheels(on build sheet), and dual chromed remote racing mirrors(on build sheet). Odometer shows 61,000+ miles. The father had duct tape inside door recording his oil changes. Car came with power steering, power disc brakes, a/c, cruise control. road wheels, am radio, vinyl top, and the upgrade interior door panels and seats you get with being a Custom. This car even has the gas miser light alert on the left fender turn signal lamp. The gas crunch was big in mid 70's, so fuel mileage was important. The light will come on when you get on it or downshift indicating over consumption of fuel. It's really a neat thing for back in 75. All the guages work, runs cool, no overheating. All glass original with one rock chip on windshield behind the rear view mirror. Tires are not dry rotted and have NO sidewall cracks. Headliner, door panels excellent. Couple of small rub tears on drivers side front bench where you get in and out alot rubbing that edge. A/c all there buts needs charging. Engine compartment all original other than orange plug wires and one red heater hose. The 2 speed wiper motor works but the nut attaching them to the arms must be off(it looks tough to get to with a/c under dash). Alot of paperwork, including build sheet, dealer invoice showing he traded a 72 charger in, total cost, trade-in allowance, owners manual, etc. It's not a musclecar but I guarantee you will still get alot of attention at the cruises or car shows, just because its a survivor and something different. All I had to do was replace front disc brakes since I've had it.There is no rust out on the frame or under carriage. This is absolutely a drive home car. If its long distance I would bring a good spare tire or 2 to have piece of mind. Really don't know how old tires are. Car is still in original owners name with original 1975 small Illinois title. Ask all questions before bidding.  High bidder must sent $250 to my paypal account within 2 days after auction. Remaining balance due in cash at vehicle pick-up(with-in 7 days of end of auction). USA bidders only.

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
