Nice solid '61 Dart Seneca, 4 door sedan, 225 cid slant six runs excellent, no smoke, runs very clean, exhaust is a little loud, Torqueflite 3 speed auto tranny shifts very well, carb has been thoroughly cleaned, original gas tank is in fantastic shape, it's been cleaned and sealed, along with a new sending unit gasket and float installed, ethanol treatment, lead additive and octane boost used in the gasoline, installed a new master cyl and two front brake hoses for the brakes, did a brake bleed and nice clean fluid throughout, brakes work very good, all lines are solid, car is a southern car and very solid underneath, the floors are excellent, no holes or patches, fenders are very nice, no filler, solid doors, rockers, doglegs, bottom of passenger side quarter panel has some rot, and the driver's side bottom quarter has been fixed before. Trunk floor is original and does have a few small holes, as seen in the pics. Lip where weather strip is is very solid, as is the trunklid and roof. Glass is all good, interior is decent, beautiful original headliner, dash is faded and has some pitting on the chrome parts, door panels are fair, but hanging in there. Rear seat is original and not too bad, does have a couple of splits, front seat is torn up a bit, hence the seat cover. Car was originally LL1 Silver-grey metallic, but was repainted years ago in a charcoal grey metallic. It buffed up pretty good, but it could use a fresh coat. The car has manual brakes, manual steering, and the only options it has is a radio, torqueflite, and a day/nite mirror. My apologies for the horrible looking rims that are on it, I do not have the originals. These rims would be better suited for a car trailer in my opinion, but they'll get the job done. It runs very nice, and it does drive very well, but it's not ready for a road trip yet. Before a long distance drive is in order, I would suggest the hubs be pulled to check the wheel cylinders, and I would suggest a carb re-build and a fresh set of tires.  Very hard to find these cars in this condition anymore. Most of them rusted shortly after they were new. Any questions, just ask. and no, the red '58 is not for sale. This will make a great little driver, or it can be restored, it's your call. The milage is original on it, and it runs and drives like it as well. I've included a photo of the gas tank before it was installed back into the car, so you can see how nice it is. Also, here is a link to a couple of videos of my son driving the car. (sound quality is not that good though)

Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.

Dodge Challenger returns to Trans Am

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.
Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that - it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.
The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.
