Hello all I have for sale here a NICE 1972 4 door dodge dart custom with a clear title in my name. It is currently registered and insured and driven often. So the mileage will change by the time you see it, but right now it is at 84,752 original miles.  I think I am the second owner of this car.  It came from Temple city, California literally from a little old lady that obviously kept it, at minimum, under a carport its whole life, if not garaged.

Here is a video I did of the car after I had the A/C installed and the paint buffed out, but before I put the Cragars on.

I have done extensive work on this car and spent way more than I originally intended, but it has turned out very nice and is my daily driver. It is very civilized and drives very very good. If you drive mellow you can get up to 20 mpg. If you are doing 80 all day it will be more like 16 due to the lower gearing. It pulls really good and has no problem keeping up with traffic and being that it has modern A/C you won't die in summer bumper to bumper either.

This is truly a jump in a drive car that can go right now.

Engine: 225 Slant 6
Transmission: 904 automatic Column shift
Everything I mention below is at max a year old.
The Engine, Drive-train and Interior upgrades include:
Clifford Intake manifold with Weber Carburetor / still have the original intake
Clifford 2 piece headers that feed into dual 2 1/4 Magnaflow turned down at the axle / still have original exhaust
Pertronix electronic ignition/easily converted back to points if you wish
New Alternator
Aluminum Radiator with dual electric fans(one pusher and one puller)
Complete after market A/C system from Classicautoair.com/still have original working heater box.
There are new gaskets all over the engine. Nothing drips or leaks.
New radiator and power steering(just the high pressure side) hoses.
New brake booster and master cylinder/ still have the original
New KYB shocks on all 4 corners
Added a front sway bar and OMG! what a difference it has made, the car turns like it is on rails
Brand new Leaf Springs in back, with shackles to raise or lower the rear
The drive shaft has been balanced and new u joints
Rear seal on the Transmission replaced at this time.
New timing cover Gasket
Tires are still excellent 195 series, the car will easily take up to 215's on all 4
Rims are vintage 80's Cragars on a 5x4 bolt pattern, these are hard to find in such good condition. The lug nuts are even harder to find.
I have the car lowered a little in the front and rear but since it has adjustable torsion bars in front and adjustable shackles in the rear you can easily change the height to suit you with a jack and basic hand tools. No spring cutting necessary.
Bushings and tie rods up front are new. 
Steering box is new and the alignment done.
On the inside you will find new carpet, new headliner, new steering wheel/have the original, nice used bucket seats from an intrepid/have the original bench seat. A complete Kenwood sound system and M T X sub woofer/I have the original but not sure if it works. It sounds very nice. It also has usb and aux for use with smart devices as well as blue tooth for phone.
All lights wipers blinkers and switches work perfect. Head light switch comes off when you pull it but you can still easily turn on the headlights.
The tint on the car is limo all around. It is great for hot summer days and makes the car look killer.

The only things on the car that I would say it needs are;
Dash: has a bad crack right in the middle but has a dash cover on it now.
Body: Has some very minor scrapes that I have tried to depict in the pictures. I love the color of the car and I like the patina that the paint shows and actually the paint is in very good shape for it's age. Also I have the trim piece for the front right fender sitting in the trunk.
The front end is still a little tight from all the new stuff but is starting to loosen up.  I have it lubed every couple of months.

There is absolutely zero rust on the car. When I put the carpet in a couple of months ago I was amazed! The floor of the car looks literally factory brand new. The trunk is the same. Drip rails and windows also the same.

Shipping:
I can deliver the car to a shipper arranged by the buyer if it is within 20 miles of 91107, otherwise it is the responsibility of the buyer to pick up in Pasadena, CA.

Payment:
I will need to be paid in full with in 5 days of the end of the auction and of course before I turn over the car to you.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Stellantis reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company — formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler — reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. “We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. “These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
