On Feb-01-14 at 10:33:50 PST, seller added the following information: 1 of 417 made (including the 50 export). 340-4bbl, 727 auto, all matching numbers. Total restoration in 2004. Most Every nut, bolt, washer either replaced or redone. I'm the 3rd owner. Car is originally from mid Ohio. The 1st and 2nd owners were best friends, so I have the complete history on the car, including the original window sticker and broadcast sheet. I've owned it since March 1995. I had a 68 Dart 170/6 in high school and fell in love with the 69 GTS then. I started looking for a 69 GTS convertible in 1987, wanting a white top, white interior and white stripe. I didn't care what the body color was as long as I got my white. It took about 8 years for a white top/interior to come up for sale. Currently has about 121,000 miles. Engine was rebuilt to stock by Muscle Motors. They did go .030 over and did some head/valve work. Original exhaust manifolds, but a 2 1/2" exhaust. The only original sheet metal on it now is the hood and the doors. Everything was shot. After taking the car down, the body man called me, had me look at it, and asked me, "Am I sure I want to go thru with this on this bad of a car?" By this time, I knew what I had, being all matching #s and as rare as it is, I figured, let's do it! The front fenders and truck lid came from a rust-free California 6 cyl Dart. The rear quarters are reproduction. I did the complete disassembly and re-assembly, but farmed out the body/paint and rebuilding of engine and trans. I even bought a buffer to buff all the stainless trim myself. The front grille and wheel covers are original and were restored by Totally Auto in PA. They told me I have the 'most expensive set of wheel covers in the country'. It was invited to and shown at the 2007 Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals held in Carlisle, PA. It was awarded 3rd Place at Autorama 2008 - Detroit Michigan It was invited to the Willistead Classic Concours d'Elegance in Windsor Canada on August 24th 2008. It was in the July 2009 edition of MuscleCar Enthusiast, (4 page article)

Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways
Sat, Feb 7 2015Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
