 This van was brought to the local garage because some criminal had hack-sawed the catalytic converter off of it one night. The owner was not able to pay for the repairs, so it sat at the garage's lot for about a year. I inquired about it and bought it off the owner for storage fees. I bought it because the A/C was good and I needed parts for my work van. Unfortunately, my van does not have the dual climate zones setup (this van does have the rear A/C and heat), so none of the parts I wanted will change over.

It runs and drives. Engine is strong and transmission feels good. It needs a "Y" pipe and catalytic converter.
The brakes feel a little sluggish. I only drove it out of the lot onto a trailer, then off the trailer and into my driveway; so I think it's just the rust on the brake rotors that was feeling odd, but I have not taken it down the road.
The rear differential is a limited-slip posi. I do not know the gear ratio.
The interior is musty from sitting for a year and would need cleaned. The headliner surface material is sagging, but the backing structure is not. The seats are in good shape. The carpet is pretty dirty but not torn up.
The listed mileage is rounded up. I know it is 150-something from when I got it, but the battery is dead so I couldn't check it without jumping it again.
The tires are all low on tread, but acceptable and hold air. 3 of 4 center caps are present.
It's originally from Virgina. There is rust here and there, but it's very minimal for what vans this age usually looks like. The doors are very nice on the bottoms  as are the rockers.
It was a private daily driver up till the vandalism; that's really all I know about it.
I just want to get my money back out of it. I paid $1200 and think it's well worth it in useful parts or fixed as a driver, but I already have a van and don't need it.
I'd like to take as little loss as possible; so only serious offers please.
I might consider parting it out, but I'd like to see if it'll go whole first. Feel free to submit any offers for any parts you are interested in should I decide to part it out.

If you have questions that aren't answered here or in the pictures, I probably won't know the answer; but you can try if you like and I'll do my best.

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
