Hi, I have a 71 Valiant slant 6 which is totally original including the plain steel wheels and hub caps. I briefly met a mopar guy today who has a set of small bolt pattern ralleyes he might sell me. I was only able to get a brief look but they look to be in good condition with trim...

I work with airplanes for a living and use those rolling caster pads all the time to move aircraft fuselages and wings into tight spots. Great idea.

It's like when a really cute girl goes and gets a really bad hairstyle. Why????

A guy I work with has the R/T automatic. I've driven it a couple times and it goes like hell and gets pretty good gas mileage on long trips. I don't know where some of you guys live but I don't know why you'd need a faster car unless you are actually racing the thing. In terms of handling...

Here's a fun Canadian band that is playing just a block away from where I live next weekend. Theres a Dodge reference in there. Hope you like. Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDY6bWT5oTM

Good to hear a couple positives. I've been reading some reviews and comments from owners and they make them sound terrible! Doesn't really give you that warm fuzzy feeling....

Hey guys I know this isn't an A-body but I thought I would pick your brains about a 2000 Dodge Dakota I'm thinking about buying. It is a 2WD 5spd. V6 with about 60000 miles. It looks well cared for and the price seems decent. I do not know much about these trucks and was wondering if any...

Hello from Comox!

Wow that does seem steep.

Funny because he'll probably be selling it for 5 cents a pound to the scrap dealer in a few more years. Where are you on the island 70DartMike? I'm in Comox.

Well finally got a chance to go view this car and it was a weird experience indeed. First off the car WAS the same one from Cuda-Challenger.com which apparently sold in late September. Thanks again moparclown. The owner had the car listed on Craigslist but only had it listed in a city that is...

Another question.... Looking at the pictures of the different rear ends http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/axle/6.html Am I correct that the 8-3/4 doesn't have a removable cover?

I agree with you on that. I was kind of laughing when I read the all stock comment as well. I am a little skeptical at this point which is why I'm concerned about the 440 motorhome engine. Demonseed does bring up a good point with the rear end possibly being a problem. If he was totally...

Thanks VERY much guys!

Thanks moparclown that IS the car. Now I'm really curious as to why the new owner is selling so soon??? Hmmm....

Hi I realize this is the wrong place for this question but I'm not a member over on the E body forum yet. I have some questions and I do value all of your opinions and knowledge a great deal. I'm going to look at a 71 Challenger tomorrow. I spoke with the guy and have found out that it was...

I'm of the opinion now that Chrysler is already dead. Any new car they bring out now is a Fiat with a Dodge badge.

Love it.

It's interesting you say that because that is probably the root of the problem. Car making has become far too intertwined with politics.

Hahaha, sorry to generalize :) When I said "Dodge people" I guess I was more referring to those who love Dodge for the classics. My bad for not recognizing the Neon and mini-van crew. I don't know maybe I'm stuck in the past and my love of the automobile lies with cars like the "solid sedans"...

Great post.

Hahaha don't take it personally. :) It wasn't just Dodge. There were a lot of bad cars made in the 80's.

Exactly, so call it something else. Anything else! Calling it a Demon just stains an already great car's reputation. Yep! I said it. No need to get angry at me. Have you googled "Chrysler's future" lately? I'm not the only one wondering..... No I would still hate it. Ugly is ugly no...

Sounds like a Plymouth Valiant :)

That is already the case now!!! How many true mechanics do you know? Someone who will actually fix something or some part that is broken. I think its rare to find a mechanic who will give more life to some broken part. Most are spring loaded to sell you new parts to replace the crap that is...

No offense but those are some of the cars that I think got them into this mess. I'm not seeing many old neons, aries, lebarons or old daytonas on the road that still look good. I do see a lot of run down ones that people have let go to hell though. Maybe as you say if they revamp them...

Yes exactly my line of thinking too.

There is all kinds of talk these days about Chrysler's fate. The new boss is announcing the "new plan" in November. Until then what are your thoughts on how Chrysler/Dodge could turn the ship around? Here's mine: I think all of the big 3 companies should use their recent pony car revival...

Up here in Canada it seems like the old japanese cars rust away before the engines give up. Either that or people just give up on them and they end up in the junkyards. The real problem is our own consumer based society. It doesn't matter who makes the cars. Nothing is built to last...

I have a hard time believing that a Euro company is going to base one of their new cars on a 4000 lb American beast!
