If you are looking for a beautiful original 69 Dart Swinger 340, I have the one for you. This car had been stored for 12 or so years before I purchased it from a collector. I have owned the car for about two years now. It has not been restored, but has been repainted at least once sometime in the past. Since I got it, I have done many cosmetic and mechanical improvements on it to get it to the condition it is currently in. However, no body work of any kind has been done on the car. Upgrades from stock are an Edelbrock Performance Series Carb, a Rev-n-ator Electronic ignition box, a Dodge Wood Grain Steering Wheel and an aftermarket radio with casette player which was installed back in the day. I have the original carb and steering wheel which will be included. The car is numbers matching engine, transmission and rear end, a 3:55 positraction unit. The pictures show what the conditon is. Excellent. There is one minor dent in the trunk lid, which I attempted to photograph. You have to look at it from just the right angle to even pick it up, but it is there. I do not have documentation to verify the mileage not do I have the broadcast sheet, but there are many indicators in regard to wear that tell me that it is pretty close if not right on. In addition, the fender tag and other stampings are in order. This is by far the best running and driving A body mopar that I have owned, it is fun to drive and a great performer, especially with the installation of the hot firing Rev-N-ator box. The addition of electronic ignition makes a great improvement in performance and the new carb gets much better gas mileage as long as you aren't in the back barrels. There are two other minor fixes needed that I am aware of. One, the heater motor is noisy and the defrost tube to the driver's side is missing. That's all I know of. I purchased a new blower motor for the heater just in case, but it has not been installed, but will be included. I don't have a defrost hose however. This car is just a real pleasure to drive and it really is a sharp looker. Exhaust mufflers are new, new leaf springs were installed, front end parts replaced, brakes gone through. Whatever it has needed it has gotten, even a couple of outer trim pieces that were already good but not excellent have been replaced. You will not be disappointed with this car in any way if you choose to be the new owner. The reserve is reasonable, far less than I have invested in this beauty. I would like it to go to someone who will preserve it's originality and enjoy it as much as I have.

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats
Thu, 02 Jan 2014It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
