Here's the holly grail for Stealth fans - 1991 RT twin turbo Dodge Stealth convertible made by the famous R.Straman Company of Costa Mesa, CA. The convertible conversion alone cost $14K in 1991, which pushed the total cost of the car when it was new to over $45K. This car is one of an estimated 24 turbo Stealth convertibles made by Straman. Full power top with a matching boot cover. A red with black top Straman convertible was featured in the 8/91 issues of both Road&Track and Automobile, both magazines come with the car. Straman added considerable structural reinforcements to the car, which are detailed in the magazine articles. I further supplemented it with front & rear strut bars. The car is still perfectly aligned with absolutely no body sag, the doors close & latch easily with a gentle one finger push. It is smooth as glass on the highway at 80 mph with the top down!
I'm its 3rd owner, I bought it in 2001 with 47K miles on it. It now has 69K. The drivetrain is bone stock - right down to the air filter. Full 60K timing belt service done 6 years ago by a certified Mitsubishi master tech. I've always run synthetic oil, and all fluids in the trans and rear are proper synthetic GL4 and GL5. The transfer case was replaced under factory recall about 10 years ago. Drive line center carrier bearing replaced a few years ago. Runs strong and shifts smooth like it should with no issues. It does not leak any fluids. The ECS struts are all in good condition, and it can still be switched between Sport and Touring modes. The only idiot light on is the one for low windshield washer fluid.
Custom red and black interior. All seats are in excellent condition with no worn spots or tears. It has the usual cracked defroster vents. It does not have the usual bubbles in the interior door panels - both are perfect. Some of the fabric on the inside of the windshield header and pillars is looking a little dated. All gauges, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and climate control all function properly. Three of the 4 factory chrome wheels are near perfect, one (rear passenger side) has slight curb rash (see photo). Michelin Pilot tires are all wearing evenly and have lots of tread left. I just had it professionally detailed. The detail shop repaired a large scratch over the rear driver's side wheel, and got a little overspray in a small section of that tire's tread. They also removed most of the black crinkle paint off the engine front valve cover. It is a 22 year old car that is driven semi-regularly, so it is not perfect.
Radio and in-dash 6 CD changer are from a newer Mits Eclipse, so the steering wheel audio controls do not work. Kenwood amp mounted behind one of the rear seats cranks up the Infinity speakers nicely.
Car is solid and mechanically sound to drive anywhere. I drive it to Seattle once a year (200 mile round trip on I-5) without any problems.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
