Survivor! Mileage is accurate at 15,483 and works out to 344 miles per year! Third owner. The only changes are new measurement-correct Coker tires (to replace the 1969 originals), front discs to replace original drums (it actually stops now but I still have the original drums if you like to live on the edge) and electronic ignition. Otherwise, stock. The way she rolled out of the factory. Base model '69 Newport. No Air, no tilt, no cruise, no P Windows or P Locks. AM only radio. Clock not working but that's it. Always garaged. A pristine monument to gigantic cars that will never come again. This vehicle was originally purchased in Jamestown, NY where it actually was driven for by a little old lady. I purchased it from her relatives in Binghamton NY and drove it across the continent 10 years ago. It never gave me any trouble...except...no cupholders. Has a 383 2-barrel that actually gets decent mileage. I have service orders from the original owner that show the vehicle was serviced at McFadden Chrysler in Jamestown. What's interesting is the first work order is from July 10, 1995 and shows a mileage on the car of 10,195. A year later, a work order from the same dealer dated July 11, 1996 shows a mileage of 10,313. That's 118 miles in one year. If you're looking for a no-restoration-needed, pristine sedan, here it is. Vehicle located in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Note: Odometer photo indicates 15,481. Since then I've driven it around the block a couple of times. Started up like a champ. The correct mileage is 15,483. Located in Canada. Will sell to Canada and the United States.

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 'at war' with world's largest Viper club?
Tue, 27 Aug 2013The situation was bound to boil over at some point. Grumblings from former and current members of the Viper Club of America, and letters sent from Chrysler to VCA president Lee Stubberfield, allege that the non-profit club is being run illegally as a for-profit business, Jalopnik reports.
The trouble reportedly started in 2007, when VCA member and former club national president Chris Marshall is alleged to have taken a paid position at the club courtesy of the acting board members at the time. By 2010, with the demise of the Dodge Viper looming, the VCA reportedly made a deal with Chrysler to to acquire a stash of old parts and tooling for the Viper. The stash would then be sold by the newly formed Viper Parts of America, a company that was supposed to be run by Marshall, Jalopnik reports.
This sounds like shady business to us - at the very least a conflict of interest. And it's said that the VCA will not hesitate to suspend - for a year or more - the memberships of those who oppose it.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
