Bid to win this beautiful 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 tribute, originally a 318 car which was disassembled back in the early eighties to be restored. The car changed hands  three times without ever getting the attention it deserved.. I bought the car about two years ago in primer (new rear quarters installed) as a shell along with a truck load of parts in boxes. I believe the car would have ended up as scrap as this owner was also overwhelmed and was the next in line to give up on the project. I have four other cars in various stages of restoration, however I couldn’t let this one just disappear. So I spent the better part of the last two years painstakingly sorting, cleaning and reconditioning parts and reassembling this gorgeous piece of history.    

It now wears a beautiful brilliant orange paint job which looks amazing from close up. I would consider the paint an 8 out of 10? It looks far better than a driver quality, but is not completely flawless. The bumpers have been painted to match. It stands out as one of the nicer cars at most cruise night events.

Under the hood sits a completely rebuilt late 70’s 360 with a 340 intake and a, brand new Holley 650, mild cam and headers. Still has its original low mile 904 transmission which was freshened (new converter) up along with the 8 3/4 factory original rear end.

All suspension parts were replaced as were all brake parts. (4 wheel drum)

The interior is original to the car as well, however the seats dyed black and the door panels and headliner were replaced. All looks very presentable.

Factory rally wheels with newer Kelly Brand radials.

The car is 98% finished but needs about $300.00-$500.00 worth of small items to be 100% complete

Heater box not in the car (delete plate) I have some of those pieces would take very little to install it.

Wiper switch, glove box latch and few interior trim piece missing (all still available)

Like I said, would take very little to finish or drive it and enjoy the way it is. I need the garage space for other projects I’m involved in, so this one must go!     

The car starts and runs perfectly and can be driven anywhere. I have about $15000.00 invested not including my time..  Clean clear Illinois title in my name.

I COMPLETELY recommend a personal inspection!!!! I don’t want and disappointments.  

 NO RESERVE!!!!!!  

JUST LISTED LOCALLY, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY

I may consider 68-72 Mopar, 67-70 Camaro project trades...

Dongfeng and PSA extend Chinese joint venture

Thu, Dec 19 2019

BEIJING/PARIS — China's Dongfeng and Peugeot maker PSA are extending their business cooperation, despite the Chinese company reducing its stake in PSA to help smooth the French carmaker's merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Dongfeng said on Thursday it had agreed with PSA to extend the duration of their joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobiles (DPCA). Under the deal, the venture could get the rights to PSA's new brands in China and will benefit from new technologies and intellectual properties, the Chinese company said. PSA was not immediately available for comment. The announcement comes a day after the companies said Dongfeng would reduce its 12.2% stake in PSA by selling 30.7 million shares to the French company. Analysts said the move could smooth U.S. regulatory approval for PSA's roughly $50 billion (GBP38.97 billion) merger with Italian-American carmaker FCA. The sale of Dongfeng's shares in PSA, worth around 680 million euros ($757 million), will leave the Chinese group holding around 4.5% of the merged PSA-FCA, which is set to become the world's fourth-biggest carmaker by sales volumes. "As the cooperation between Dongfeng and PSA deepens, we expect the joint venture to continue making good progress in China," a Dongfeng representative said. On a conference call, Dongfeng said DPCA would have exclusive rights to PSA's Opel cars should the partners agree to bring the brand to China, and enjoy lower prices on car parts imported from PSA. Earlier this year, a document seen by Reuters showed Dongfeng and PSA plan to cut jobs at Wuhan-based DPCA and reduce its number of car plants to try to make the venture more profitable.

Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
