Car for Sale Misrepresentation

On the clutch issue I was going to mention the same over-center spring located under the dash. It is a heavy gauge coiled spring that returns the pedal to the up position. It takes the place of the return spring attached to the fork like on GM cars. It does "pop" the pedal up. It can be extremely disconcerting if you are not used to Mopar clutch pedals, especially when you have the transmission out and go to pull the clutch pedal up while working under the dash and the spring suddenly yanks the pedal back up, and you get a face full of clutch pedal. OUCH!

It sure would be a somewhat easy fix to just remove the over-center spring. It could solve all the problems with the clutch. I've got my fingers crossed that it will be this easy.
When I questioned Danny about the clutch, he told me to leave it alone because he spent many hours trying to get it right...and this was the best he could get it. I don't know if he knew about the over-center spring or not. A friend (that I met on the cuda-challenger site) drove out from Vegas last Friday because he wanted to see the Challenger. He sees the issue with the clutch and sent me the link to the over-center spring yesterday. Nice guy and very knowledgeable.

Then why post anything until you have all the facts about whats wrong?????? Hopefully you aren't relying on a mechanics opinion that doesn't want to do work for you....

Rarely are cars perfect even when new. I would not lose sleep over the issues you have. Get them corrected and enjoy life. The rear seal issue is not one to waste time on, All 2 piece seals leak soon after they are installed.

Lets face it. If a person buying a high dollar car sight unseen can include a correctly working choke as being a misrepresented item,everyone that's sold a car on this or any forum can be accused of misrepresenting a car in some fashion. Im sorry your experience was not a positive one . Hopefully all the issues wont be as bad as they seem Its also too bad you didn't join this great site before the incident ,not simply because of it.

I will add that hiring an inspector does not always work either. 15 yrs ago I hired one to inspect a car in CA for me.....this was a guy who has (and still does) advertised in Hemmings for as far back as I can remember. Won't go into all the details here, but suffice it to say that the car I bought based on his inspection was exactly what I told him I <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">DID NOT</span></span> want [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img] And then after I sent him photographic proof of exactly what he missed, he would not even refund the $300 I paid him.
