No zero feedback bidders without prior authorization For Sale is a super rare 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix with completely rebuilt, smooth running, high torque and high horsepower 426 engine. This car has a low reserve. The car has a completely rebuilt, rare, 426 engine. The casting number is 1852029 which means it is a 1963-65, 426 C.I. with a nickel strengthened steel block. The engine was professionally built about 2500 miles ago and punched out to a 440. The previous owner, who was in very poor health and had to sell the car, had all the work done in Milwaukee, so I do not know all the exact specs or know everything about the engine. The engine has 440 heads on it with porting and polishing, and valve work done. I do not know the exact cam, but it is a mid-range rpm cam. It has an Edelbrock aluminum performer RPM, dual Plane intake with a powder coated Holley 650 carb. The radiator is a 4 core aluminum radiator for extra cooling. The engine has a MSD electronic ignition and coil. The transmission is a rebuilt 727 with shift kit, that still retains the push button shifting and tranny equipped parking brake. The front brakes have been changed to disc brakes. This is a 4 door hardtop which is the rare post free Dodge Dart Phoenix. Dodge only made 20,216 four-door hardtops, and of these around 6,000 were Phoenix models. When front and rear windows are rolled down there is no post separation between front and back. The dodge dart phoenix is the rarest of the Dodge Darts and the luxury top of the line model above the Seneca and Pioneer. 1960 was the first year of the Dodge dart. This Phoenix originally came with a 318 V8, but now has the much more powerful 426. The interior has been reupholstered in thicker red and black vinyl. Overall this is one cheap hot rod that gets all the looks. According to the last owner there is less than 50 still registered in the US. Condition: Although this car is not perfect it is a pretty nice car, and would be a great starting point for further restoration. This is an older restoration and but the overall condition is good. The engine is about perfect. The power steering pump leaks a little from one of the seals, and will need rebuilt eventually. The battery has a quick disconnect on it, which I take off when the car sits for a period of time to keep the battery from going dead. There might be a small draw from somewhere in the car. The underside of the car is coated in rust proof coating. This car is almost rust free, with 3 small bubbles on hood as shown in the pictures. A couple of the trim pieces have dents in them, but the car is almost perfectly straight. The floor boards solid and the trunk pan looks like it was replaced at one time. The dash is in pretty good shape, but needs some touch up work. Some of the chrome pieces have pitting on them. The car has a cd player installed, which was poorly done, I have an original radio which will go with the car, I did not install it. The glove box has the liner taken out and a speaker was installed. The glove box liner comes with the car and is in the trunk. The sun visors are not installed and also in the trunk. The headliner is wrinkled in spots, and has a small repair job behind the rear seats. The trim and chrome around the car is original and has small pitting and scratches. The rear bumper is the worst of the chrome, and the door handles and roof vents have the worst surface pitting. The chrome around the window vents is very good on the outside but only fair to decent on the inside. The car was repainted about 5 years ago, and takes a great shine. There are some spots on the passenger door that were touched up, and also on the front fender. Some of the original chrome has some pitting. Overall this is a cool car that grabs a lot of attention. It runs and drives well, quite powerful, and a really kind of a hot rod sleeper. Comes with Owners manual, and car brochure.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
2015 Dodge Challenger looks fresh, still plenty retro [w/video]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014It was the Ford Mustang that kicked off the retro-styled muscle car renaissance back in 2005, but it was the Dodge Challenger that served as the movement's poster child, with its unabashedly retro looks. Over the years, though, as the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro were freshened and upgraded, the look of the big Dodge has remained largely consistent since its 2008 debut. For 2015, the Challenger has received a big freshening, boasting strongly revised front and rear ends and (finally, finally, finally) a redesigned interior.
Let's talk about that new cabin first. It's basically been plucked directly from the redesigned Charger, and boasts the same seven-inch IP display. The center stack's miserable, last-gen display has been replaced by an expansive, 8.4-inch UConnect system. Material quality should see a solid boost with the new cabin, as well.
The exterior, meanwhile, sees a revised front fascia with LED halo lights, as well as new grille inserts. A functional shaker hood scoop is a must-have extra on the V8 models, while the back of the car is highlighted by a new set of LED taillights that don't use the "Racetrack" design of Dodge's other models.
