This has been our only family car for months, and we could continue that way indefinitely (3 little kids). It runs great. It has no air conditioning because the evaporator coil leaks, but it has a brand new compressor (replaced so the serpentine belt would operate properly). It has had no significant mechanical failures in the years we have owned it other than the recent replacement of the compressor. We've done maintenance, replaced brakes, batteries, and tires here and there, but it has never overheated, has never failed to start unless the battery was run down, does not burn oil, does not leak anywhere except the evaporator coil, transmission and clutch shift and engage smoothly, gets average gas mileage for this model (about 18 in the city, a little better on the road), electrical systems work, no shuddering, wheel, structural, or alignment problems, has never been wrecked, and just runs great in general. Its old and has a lot of miles, but shows no signs of quitting any time soon. I regularly put over 100 miles on it in a day, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow if I had to. We recently upgraded to a car with air conditioning, but its a gamble to assume any other used car is in better mechanical condition than this one.
This model has two captain's chairs in the middle row, and a full bench back row, with three seat belts (and room for 3 car seats if necessary:-). This is the extended model with extra room behind the back row. If you see only one captain's chair in the middle row in any of the pictures, that is because we found it very convenient to keep one captain's chair out of the middle so adults and bigger kids could easily get in and out of the back row. The seat snaps in and out of the van pretty easily, and we just put it in and out as we needed it. The second captain's chair is fully functional, and comes with the van. The back bench seat, and the two captain's chairs are all fully removable, so this would work great as an enclosed truck or a delivery vehicle.
This is a base model without a lot of extras, but it does have a little screen that tracks gas mileage, miles to empty, direction, and time. It has a fully functioning CD player and radio. It has a factory DVD system hard wired into the radio, and I think it works, but we never used it. Cruise works great. Sliding doors are only designed to operate manually (but my 4 year old can get them open and closed by herself, so they're not too hard to work).
If necessary, we will sell it with a state safety inspection certificate. We will also provide the buyer with all paperwork to transfer title, but title transfer fees, sales tax, and related costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Ebay's $60 final value fee is included in the price, and will be absorbed by seller.

This past June I spent an excellent day hanging out with Joey Ruiter, driving and discussing his Reboot Buggy project. Before heading home, I let him know that he was more than welcome to keep me abreast of whichever new automotive project he'd get into. You can never have too many car designers and one-off fabricators in your Rolodex, right?
Ruiter recently made good with the follow-up, emailing me with details on this Dodge Challenger A/T Untamed Concept that pushes a lot of hot buttons for the muscle car and off-roading enthusiasts.
This all-terrain Mopar is a lot more than a Challenger body dropped on a truck chassis, too. A materialized version of the A/T would included a completely new, long-travel suspension, skid plates, body armor and rock sliders, and obviously flared fenders to help accommodate a hellacious set of off-road-ready tires. The dramatically revised underpinnings would be topped with a slick graphics package and a killer lower light bar, all making the A/T look quite cohesive in its own, radical way. And the result would be a car no longer limited to mere road-driving.

Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.

The US Environmental Protection Agency accidentally confirmed the upcoming Dodge Challenger GT by posting fuel economy figures for the all-wheel-drive variant of the muscle car. According to FuelEconomy.gov, the Challenger GT, which will come with the 3.6-liter V6 when it's released, is rated to get 18 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway, giving the vehicle a combined rating of 21 miles per gallon. Those figures are slightly lower than the rear-wheel-drive Challenger with the same engine, which gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. While previous reports indicated that Dodge is planning to release the all-wheel-drive Challenger GT sometime in 2017, the automaker hasn't confirmed the vehicle. (Mopar's all-wheel-drive concept from last year's SEMA Show is pictured above.) With the EPA putting out the car's official fuel economy figures, the all-wheel-drive muscle car is definitely coming, and should be here before the entire Challenger lineup gets its expected redesign in 2018. And yes, we're still hopeful that the so-called Challenger ADR we saw in spy photos means we'll see all wheel drive and Hellcat power. Because Hellcat everything. Related Video:
