Selling my 1968 Dodge Dart. This is a GREAT car, I love this thing! Very awesome muscle car, super fun with a great look. This isn't your grandmas Dart from the late 60's, this is one bad boy, flat black paint job with a rear red racing stripe lets it be known that this thing means business and it ain't afraid to get dirty! 

Equipped with a '70 block 318 V8 (pre smog set up) with an edelbrock performer intake manifold and a edelbrock 1405 600cfm 4 barrel carburetor, going out to long tube Heddman Headers connected to dual glasspak mufflers for that old school sound. 

It has the famous Mopar A-883 4-speed transmission, great strong tranny here with a hurst shifter, you can almost say this is where all the fun is ;) shifts great! 

The rear end is 8 1/4 3.55 sure grip, good streetable gear ratio, keeps your RPMs just under 3,000 while doing about 75 on the freeway, and with the sure grip your leaving 2 tire marks for your burnouts and doing some great donuts, no peg leg here! 

Front end of car was upgraded with the better suspension, k-member and DISC brakes of a 1973 Plymouth Duster. Giving you better handling, better braking, better k-member for V8s. Also has smooth feeling manual steering box out of the 73 Duster with the 73 steering column to go to the matching box. Drives great feels like power steering, won't even notice it's manual steering. All suspension was redone with the PST front end suspension kits and Moog. Has all new brake system, calipers, master cylinder, lines, etc... 
Rear end drum brakes were rebuilt and differential was gone through, the rear end is also out of a 73 Duster. 

Cool comfortable front buckets seats with head rest, new headliner, carpet... 
Mounted Tachometer, new electrical temp gauge and gas gauge (gives you good accurate readings) this car stays COOL!!! Never had an issue with this car overheating, not once!! Stays at a solid 160-170, NEVER MORE! Interior is decent, doesn't really look bad, could use a LITTLE love, but for a daily driver it's perfectly fine! 

Runs and drives great!! I'm estimating about 300 Hp from this 318. My favorite thing about this car is it starts up by the turn of a key after it's morning warm up. Just like a modern car, no gas pumping or holding, priming the carb with fuel, just simple turn the key and on.

This car was completely gone through front to back, so much of this car is brand new! This was my project car that was purchased about a year ago, and I worked on this thing day and night for countless hours, buying this car pretty much as a parts car and turning it into what you see today. 

Here are links to some videos of the car. First one is a great cruising video of having some fun in the car

This is a great car, get in this thing and drive!! Car is registered, has insurance, and title on hand.

2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.

Stellantis wants to trim 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs, UAW says

Wed, Apr 26 2023

WASHINGTON — Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV wants to cut approximately 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs and is offering voluntary exit packages, according to a United Auto Workers union letter made public Tuesday. The automaker is looking to reduce its hourly workforce offering incentive packages that include $50,000 payments for workers hired before 2007, UAW Local 1264 said in a letter dated Monday posted on its Facebook page. Stellantis spokeswoman Jodi Tinson declined to comment. A person briefed on the matter said the figure might be lower than the figure cited in the UAW letter. In late February, Stellantis indefinitely halted operations at an assembly plant in Illinois, citing rising costs of electric vehicle production. The action impacted about 1,350 workers at the Belvidere, Illinois, plant that built the Jeep Cherokee SUV and resulted in indefinite layoffs. The automaker has warned it may not resume operations as it considers other options. The UAW letter said openings created by workers leaving would be filled by workers on indefinite layoff. Stellantis said in February that about 40,000 U.S. hourly workers were eligible for profit sharing. Last week, UAW President Shawn Fain said Stellantis' decision to idle the Illinois plant was "a flat-out violation" of the union's contract with the UAW and is unacceptable. The UAW will enter talks with the Detroit Three before labor contracts expire in mid-September. Earlier this month, General Motors said about 5,000 salaried workers accepted buyouts to leave the automaker. GM CEO Mary Barra said February job cuts of a few hundred jobs and the 5,000 buyouts "provided approximately $1 billion towards" a $2 billion cost cutting target. Ford Motor Co recently announced significant job cuts in Spain, Germany and other parts of Europe and in August said it would cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India.
