 AACA NATIONAL FIRST PLACE WINNER HERSHEY, PA.


You are looking at I believe the finest example of a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer available anywhere. It is 1 of only 243 built by Dodge in 1957 and I know of no others available. It's condition leaves nothing to the imagination or desire.  Most of the car is original to include the chrome [only two pieces redone] the interior [ only the carpeting and package tray changed because of fading].  The drive train is all original with the five numbers matching required for the D-500 HEMI OPTION.  The engine is stamped as it is supposed to be as is the heads, the oversized radiator, the torque flight 3-speed transmission, and the Suregrip rear end. The car runs perfectly and does not miss a beat.  It is turn key and ready to drive to the show your choice. This car has over 100 trophies/awards and includes the Mopar Regional "BEST OF SHOW" and the Mopar in Motion "BEST OF SHOW" plus so many PEOPLES CHOICE AWARDS.


Mechanically the 12.5 inch brakes are all done to include a new master cylinder, all new steel radial tires including the spare,  new exhaust system front to back, and the front end steering is dead on target.


The body is all original never rusted or having any panel replaced. They are only new once in their lifetime and this one is still like that. There are some small road chips that are so small and don't show to touch them up. You should know that the car had the front end repainted over 20 years ago while the balance of the car is nearly all original and extraordinary. At the same time the front end was repainted, the engine compartment was freshened as was the engine. All remains spectacular today and attracts attention more than any car I have ever owned.  The trunk is filled with all sorts of new parts like gasket kits, heater hose, radiator hoses, tune up parts and filters, spare tail lights, etc.


I am selling this car because I have to and with dire reservations. If I had a good solid car of the same vintage, and someone were to give me $50,000 to restore it, I could never make it the quality of this car . It is coming out in another advertisement and if sold there, I reserve the right to pull the ad from Ebay.


You can look at the pictures and if you have any other questions, let me know. I know that chrome is always a valid consideration as it is so expensive to redue correctly. Let me assure you, You cannot get N.O.S. chrome better than what is on this car. You will see a little pollen dust that appears only. No defects. Also, the steering wheel is perfect with no form of cracks, fading or ware, and the horn ring is excellent. The door panels and seats are all original material from the factory and beautiful. To save the seat material, the original cotton threads was rotting from age and redone with nylon thread for lasting. You have to understand, the seat material is gone forever to never be available for anyone to redue. Someone would have to do it incorrectly and as the Lancer only came with what you see.


I have many other pictures that I can forward for your review. Ebay only has the provisions for 24 pictures in the listing. Send your email address and I will forward to you if you need to see more.




I am listing the "Buy It Now" lower than it should be. I will never be able to replace the car for the asking price. Whoever wins the car will have the best of a very rare and desirable car. Should the car go overseas, I will assist with the coordination of shipping. I know as I have sold a lot of Mopar items to Sweden in the past and had to assist. Happy bidding.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.

Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.

Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
