This is a 1969 Dodge Dart (Mopar).   Originally, it was a slant six cylinder. I pulled a 318, 904, front disc brakes, and rear end from a 1974 Dart and put it in the car you see. The car has been completely stripped down to bear metal and rebuilt and repainted from the ground up.  Sheet metal work and sub-frame connector work was done at Pro Tech in Kennewick Washington.   As well, Pro Tech did the painting on the body of the car. The doors, deck lid, hood, and fenders were painted and fitted by Eddie Robbins and Tim O'Keefe of Snake River Street Rods, Kennewick, Washington.  The interior upholstery work was done by Pete Medrano of Kennewick, Washington and as you might be able to tell from the pictures, the headliner still needs to be installed (so does a stereo- I have installed two 4" speakers under the dash and run speaker wires to the rear). The engine was bored .300 over at S&B and rebuilt with Edlebrock intake and cam. There is a carter 4 barrel carburetor on the car presently. The heads are commando heads with 2.02" intake and 1.88" exhaust ports (they are stamped with an 'X'). Dick at American Eagle Muffler ran 2 5/8" exhaust out from the Hooker headers.   The car has a B & M floor shifter in it.  The car scoots along very nicely and as you can see from the pictures is near flawless in the paint and body.  The dash and visors have new covers and the dashboard is has been painted gloss black.  The interior trim pieces are all here.  However, one of the plastic pillar post covers will need to be glued.  A very tiny chip appears just below the corner of the rear window and a small chip is below the windshield. This car is not finished, however.  It needs a headliner, stereo, rear speakers, and the trim mounted along the drip rail above the doors  For the winning bidder, I will include an 8 3/4 rear end with posi gears (3:55) ready to assemble and put under the car.  I have receipts for well over $40,000 invested in this car, but I must sell it. This car is almost done and the price reflects that.  If you would like to see more pictures, especially beginning to end, of the car when it was in the process of being restored, I have those as well.  Thanks for looking. I am selling this car for my brother and he has clear title.

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023

Thu, Nov 11 2021

SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.  The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.

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.
