This car has been mine for nearly 40 years.  It's been sitting idle since 1976, mostly indoors.

Needs a restoration.

Must be seen.

I've just pulled it out into the sun for a cleanup, an engine pull, and pics.  I will post more pics as the clean up progresses.

Some rust is evident but the need for panel replacement due to rust is doubtful.

Basically stock and unmolested with original manifolds, exhaust pipes and tail pipes.

Original windshield is nice.

Both bumpers are straight with original chrome.

Left side is damaged and needs a quarter panel hung and a fender (I have a full used quarter purchased around 1976 that's EXCEPTIONAL but I don't have the fender.).  Left fender, door, and quarter half were replaced with new in early 73 after a collision.  Door has some surface rust but is straight and undamaged with no cancerous rot.

Engine needs a rebuild as it sat without the air cleaner outdoors for awhile in the 80s and it took on some water.  It was disassembled to the shortblock and has been pulled but the shortblock has not yet been disassembled for inspection.  Some pieces are missing.

Transmission shifted impressively when parked and has never been apart but it did have a governor problem.

4.10 Dana rear axle was tight and sound and the fluid was exchanged at least once before parked.

Much of the interior is sound as is. 

Original trunk mat is included but weathered and I have the jack.  4 NOS RWL Polyglas G70s are also included as well as the original RWL Polyglas G70 14 spare T&W that has traveled only a few miles.

Front bumper is sound and included.

36,000 miles.

Exposed headlights and louvered hood.

The ORIGINAL 14x6 (Magnum type) Road Wheels go with it.

NOT your typical Mopar muscle car.  This is a virgin car that awaits a buyer who wants a stunning piece to build and enjoy that won't be mistaken for the typical orange or purple piece that's been apart and rebuilt at least once by multiple owners since new.  Is that you? 

I first rode in this car in June 1971 and owned it several years later and have owned it ever since.

I replaced the original 440 badges on the hood in the first hour of ownership to keep the thieves at bay and to help attract innocent prey and they are still in place.

Questions?  Please ask and yes the fender tag is attached and yes I have the build sheets.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Mopar rolls out new Scat Packages for Dodge Challenger, Charger and Dart

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Dodge buyers looking for that extra performance edge, take note: Mopar is bringing back the Scat Pack. Announced at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas today, the new Scat Packages will be available in three stages for the Challenger, Charger and Dart starting next spring.
Upgrades for the Charger and Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine include a
new cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust, as well as a remapped ECU. Upgrade to the Scat Package 2 and you get a new camshaft, and the Scat Package 3 tosses in ported and polished heads and hi-flow headers. Upgrades for the Dart GT with the smaller 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission start with a cold-air intake, short-throw shifter and upgraded brakes. The second stage kicks in a remapped ECU and cat-back exhaust, while the Scat Package 3 for the Dart gives you even bigger brakes, an adjustable suspension and sway bars front and rear.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.
