2014 Spring Fling Mopar Show in Van Nuys, California
We just attended the Mopar Spring Fling car show on April 5th and 6th in Van Nuys, California. It was an awesome show as usual with a ton of parts and cars to see–it really is the biggest and best car show and swap west of the Mississippi. More pics after the jump!
Ram Wins All Star Honors
As reported in Allpar, Automobile magazine has chosen the Ram 1500 as a member of its 2014 All Star list, a list of their 10 favorite passenger vehicles. This is the second consecutive year that the Ram was chosen as well as four of the past five years!
Per their editors “the Ram 1500 defies the limitations of a pickup truck, continuing a spirit of innovation that began in the mid-1990s, when Chrysler introduced the big-rig grille and reinvented the way pickup trucks look. Now the Ram has the best chassis in the business, with a coil-sprung rear suspension that offers a settled ride even with an empty bed. The list of options and the refined interior rival those of a luxury car. And a new diesel engine – the only one available on a light-duty pickup—achieves the fuel economy of a mid-size crossover.”
No rebuttal from GM spokesman Jim Cain yet.
Chrysler Museum to Open for a One Day Car Show
When the Walter P Chrysler Museum closed its doors to the public at the end of 2012, the plan was to open it occasionally for Chrysler functions and private events. This June 7th, the Chrysler Employee Motorsport Association (CEMA) will be hosting it’s 25th annual charity car show on the museum grounds. Car clubs of all makes are invited to participate and the museum will also be open to the public. Check out some cool Chrysler history (including a stop at the below pictured Viper Café!). Find more info at Allpar and also at CEMA’s website.

2015 Dodge Challenger Super Bee?
Jalopnik is reporting a possible Super Bee version of the 2015 Challenger, which they say will debut April 17th in New York.

1970 Plymouth Barracuda to be Saved
This 1970 Barracuda was recently purchased by owner number two after sitting neglected for 15 years. The new owner is taking a rather unique approach to it’s restoration. “I’m taking donations for the restoration, every donor can have a ride when it’s done!” Good luck with that. Find the story at Cars in Barns. More pics after the jump!
426 Hemi Engine on eBay
A Mopar with its matching numbers Hemi commands top dollar. The car without its powerplant? Not so much. How about a Hemi engine without the car? Try a Buy-it-Now price of $150,000! See the story at Street Legal TV. Check out the auction on eBay.
Jeep Renegade SRT Rendering
If the new Renegade doesn’t grab you, how about an SRT version? Strictly a digital rendering by X-Tomi Design, it kinda doesn’t look half bad. Find more info at Carscoops.
