This 1978 Orange Dodge Warlock is a RARE find...440 with AIR!! It was found by my late husband in a barn (2009), and he drove it for a year before starting the restoration. It is in the beginning stages of a restoration. He had researched the truck, and "supposedly" it is 1 of 74 made in 1978......60 were black and the other 14 were red, green, and orange!!!! He had the complete exhaust redone immediately after purchasing the truck ($2500). Since his passing 3 years ago, it has been sitting in a temperature controlled garage. After charging the battery, the truck will turn over. It needs the old gas cleaned out, and some gas put in the carburator. I have a mechanic that will be getting it running, so you can hear the engine. It was driven for a year before it was parked for the restoration. The first few pictures were taken when he purchased the truck, and the remainder are recent. All of the parts, that are shown in the pictures, were found placed in the cab of the truck. The picture with the wood floor in the bed was from when he purchased the truck. I have not found the wood slats for the bed, so I am assuming they were discarded because he was going to replace them. The odometer has rolled, but only because he was fixing a problem with the gauges. The truck had approx. 60,000 miles on it when it was parked. The "GK9" underhood equipment label is not present. I am selling it "AS IS". A cashiers check for the deposit in the amount of $1,000.00 needs to be sent overnight within 48 hours after purchase. The balance is due within 7 days when the vehicle is picked up. If this time frame is not doable, I will make other arrangements with the purchaser. Due to the fact that I am also advertising locally, I have the right to cancel bidding at any time. If you have any questions, please free to call me at anytime at (309) 253-7510...Thank you, Sue

What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.
2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
