1957 Dodge Custom Royal Hello classic Mopars and Exner's big fin car fans. Here is a very rare, all original and unmolested 1957 Dodge Custom Royal 2 door hardtop with super rare factory installed air (AC) and power brakes (with booster). I believe that this is the model under the even rarer D500 Dodge. This very solid and straight automobile has been in enclosed storage for many, many years awaiting restoration and/or refurbishing (no need to go all out to make this car a nice driver). Very solid body showing only minimal and/or no damage except for the driver side fender, which shows a good "ding" on the front edge. I will include a replacement fender and side stainless steel trim piece which are damage free if the car is purchased at the "Buy It Now" price - it will cost extra otherwise. There is normal, minor rust here and there (mostly surface discoloration, but some areas do show pitting, such as the floor and trunk pans). It appears that a patch was partially installed over the existing front floor pans (looks quite solid, but not exactly professional as far as workmanship goes); this was done a long time ago, before I bought the car. The frame looks very good and solid. The exterior paint is in good condition and may not even need to be redone; a very good detail or buffing with compounds/waxes may produce quite a surprisingly good result. The car does not run, but rolls and steers fairly well. I do not remember which size the big V8 engine is (318 or 331?). I was told that the motor did turn when I bought the car but I never tried to find out as the car went into storage as soon as I received it. I would suggest that a good mechanic have a go at it. I don't think the engine needs much, (it's all there) but do expect some mechanical work to be needed for sure. It has a push button transmission, most likely a 727 Torqueflite. The windshield is cracked/has a small hole on the driver's side and will need to be replaced. The passenger side front window has a crack in it but the rest of the glass is in great/excellent condition. All the stainless steel trim is in good to very good condition. Some of the DODGE scripts/letters are missing on the hood and trunk lid. The bumpers are very solid and straight, the rear one could be re-chromed. The interior is all original, but will need to be restored. The seats need to be reupholstered, new carpet installed, etc. Three of the original headliner panels will need to be reinstalled (they are now in the trunk). The instrument panel and dashboard are in pretty good condition and are complete, a good cleaning and buffing should work magic. The odometer shows only just over 75K (75,025 miles) from new, which are believed to be original based on the good/great overall condition of the car. This big fin '57 Dodge is in remarkable condition (by comparison with what is usually found/available) and is absolutely worthy of someone's time and financial investment. Although needed, the restoration can be as minimal or as involved as the new owner will want. This was my intent several years ago when I bought this car (and another 1957 Dodge Coronet 2 door post to perhaps also restore and/or use as a perfect donor for a few items the Custom Royal could use - windshield, scripts, etc.). I, however got busy, life happened/changed and I never got to it. Although I love cars, I unfortunately do not know how to work on them and I have no choice but to have to use shops and other people, and they are not cheap! Now, as I am moving and my storage situation has changed I have decided to pass the torch to someone with more experience, time and enthusiasm and hope that they will be able to bring this great original survivor back to its former glory. They don't make cars like this anymore you know and they are harder to find as time goes by - especially the ones with these rare options. You always see a lot of classic muscle at car shows, but seldom enjoy any big fin late 50's and they always do bring attention and deserved appreciation. It is my wish to see this rare car be acquired by a similarily appreciative person. Please see my other auction currently running, for a 1957 Dodge Coronet 2 door post, white & gold. I would entertain/prefer to sell both cars together as they are the perfect match for each other in terms of restoration ease, as well as transaction and shipping details. Please call me with any questions at 303-941-1765. You are welcomed and encouraged to look at the cars in person before bidding, but the photos should be quite helpful in assisting you to make a good decision. Bid with confidence - see my 100% positive feedback. More photos may be available upon request. Please note that the red tail light plastic lenses are inside the trunk in a box with a couple of extra parts. Thanks for your interest in my action(s)! Happy and successful bidding! |

Stellantis not looking for further mergers, including with Renault
Mon, Feb 5 2024MILAN — Stellantis Chairman John Elkann on Monday denied the carmaker was hatching merger plans, responding to press speculation about a possible French-led tie-up with rival Renault. Elkann said that the Peugeot owner, the world's third largest carmaker by sales, was focused on the execution of its long-term business plan. "There is no plan under consideration regarding merger operations with other manufacturers," said Elkann, who also heads Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that is the largest single shareholder in Stellantis. After abandoning the Russian market, at the time its second largest after France, and reducing the scope of its global cooperation with Nissan, Renault has been seen as a potential M&A target. Speculation intensified after an electric vehicle market slowdown forced it last week to cancel IPO plans for its EV and software unit Ampere. Its market cap remains stubbornly low at little over 10 billion euros ($10.8 billion) despite a financial recovery over the past few years. Stellantis, the product of a 2021 merger between France's PSA and Fiat Chrysler and one of the most profitable groups in the industry, has a market cap of more than 85 billion euros when unlisted shares are factored in. It has a 14 brand portfolio also including Citroen, Jeep, Opel and Alfa Romeo. NEWSPAPER REPORT Italian daily Il Messaggero had said on Sunday that the French government, which is Renault's largest shareholder and also has a stake in Stellantis, was studying plans for a merger between the two groups. A spokeswoman for Renault said on Monday the group did not comment on rumors. France's Finance Ministry had declined to comment on Sunday. Stellantis has crossed swords with the Italian government, which has accused it of acting against the national interest on occasions. Industry Minister Adolfo Urso last week raised the prospect of the Italian government taking a stake in Stellantis to help to balance the French influence. Renault shares pared gains after Elkann's comments to stand 1.2% higher by 1220 GMT, having initially risen more than 4%. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, a Portuguese-national, last week said in an interview with Bloomberg that the group was "ready for any kind of consolidation" and that its job was to make sure that it would be "one of the winners". Analysts, however, question the rationale of a Stellantis-Renault merger, which would also expand the group's excess capacity in Europe.
GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773
Fri, Mar 24 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
