The Last of the B-Bodies: Muscle Cars?
Featured in Hooniverse’s Obscure Muscle Car Garage are the 1977 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1978-79 Dodge Magnum and the 1979 Chrysler 300. The late 70s were a sad time in muscle car history.

Customized 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible
Hooniverse found this customized K car on Craigslist. Per the owner/designer, he was going for “a more 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 look.” Nailed it! More pics after the jump.

2015 Chrysler 200C Test Drive
The New York Times recently test drove the new 200C. While it may not lead its crowded market segment, it impresses with its offerings and value for the money. Video after the jump!
5.7 Liter Hemi Recall
Potential bad news if you own a 2009-2012 Challenger, Charger or 300 with the 5.7 Hemi with MDS; the timing chain may snap. Find more info and how to determine if your car is part of the recall at Hot Rod.
Chrysler’s Fuselage Styling
Mac’s Motor City Garage gives a short review on Chrysler’s 1969-73 C body fuselage styling, a styling theme that seems to be more appreciated now than when it was new. The hidden headlight models win, hands down. More brochure pics after the jump!
Wrap Up From the Charles Kee Estate Sale
The Charles Kee Estate Sale was May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon and it was a blast to attend. They had 1000 boxes of parts for sale and 200 cars, most of it Mopar! I was there from the front lines bidding and buying parts along with a bunch of other Mopar fanatics. The cars ended up going for pretty cheap, most at not much more than scrap prices with a few exceptions. The parts were a little more expensive but lots of treasures were to be found in the hundreds and hundreds of banana boxes that Charles Kee used to store stuff. It is hard to show the scale of how many parts were here but we tried with this picture.
Chrysler Registers “Rebel” Trademark
Jalopnik reports that Chrysler has recently filed to trademark the name “Rebel” and it appears to have done so with the intent of using it in the future as opposed to protecting past AMC cars with that nameplate. Whether it is for a new model or a trim/package on an existing model (Charger Rebel? Wrangler Rebel? Caravan Rebel?), only time will tell.
1962 Chrysler 300 in the Charles Kee Collection
The next car we are featuring looks like it was one of Charles Kee’s personal cars he wanted to keep. It is a 1962 Chrysler 300 2-door with a big block engine. This is a really nice car, and like many others, Charles Kee put blankets over the dash and seats to preserve them from the desert sun.
