This car drives like new, brakes straight sounds cool, this is truly a great driving car, I just drove it to Arizona and back was a great ride and cold ac, with plenty of smooth, strong power. No rattles, noises of any kind.
One owner car that was stored since 1989 in climate controlled garage after owner had passed away. I purchased it last year and had Mopar specialist COMPLETELY go through this cool car. New everything including brakes, tires, shocks, rebuilt carb, all fluids changed,battery,freeze plugs,tune up,filters, diff fluid,fuel lines,brake lines,vacuum lines etc, etc.. No expense spared, all work done correctly.I'm sure I forgot some things but you get the idea.

Look at the trunk pictures absolutely RUST FREE, with all factory markings, etc., fantastic survivor or original reference car. The bilge sheet is stuck to driver floorboard, and didn't want to try to remove, have owners manual tire jack and handle, need a spare though. The weatherstripping is soft and intact and subtle, trunk and floor pans are unbelievable! Wiring is flexible and like new as is the dash, steering wheel, etc.. I saved the old parts. During the job my mechanic found that the original matching tranny would not go into drive, reverse, low gear, were fine so my mechanic had the same f4 tranny at his shop and was installed in the car, already rebuilt, The original tranny comes with this car. This is a very rare car, there can't be many as original and as nice as this, it is a great cruiser with great street presence, VERY LOW RESERVE.

Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
