I spent much $$$$ on ebay looking to upgrade pieces when I could find them. Although not an original Max wedge this car has a history of being a max wedge race car most of it’s previous life, the former 2 owners never registered it. I bought this car 9 years ago. I decided to do a conservation on it, doing everything necessary while still keeping the old school raced-bred appearance. The last 9 years have been a labor of love, time and money well spent on refurbishing the exterior , interior mechanicals. engine and trim pieces, to get it to where it is today. Today it is what it is, a retired race car that’s used for local cruise nights and car shows. It had a 1966 426- block in it when I bought it but after a few years it froze a rod bearing -that’s when I was told it also had a cracked crank I decided it made more sense to replace it with a professionally rebuilt 440 short block that could runs on pump gas and and add some cubic inches. While it was apart I had the stage III 518 max heads re-done by S&K speed and ordered a new comp cam, lifters, roller rockers, push rods, springs, shafts. $$$$ later it runs great (pictures of heads and block before assembly included) It starts every time, it’s loud. It has a strong stable idle (about 1000 rpm), it doesn’t stall. Shifts easy just push 1-2-3- It’s great around town. (it’s a piece of theater ) It’s reliable and it’s faster than it needs to be It’s gets more than it’s share of attention at cruise nights and car shows. Head lights, low & high beam, tail lights, parking & backup lights, signals, horn, wipers, dash lights, dome light, speedometer/odometer, temp gauge, voltage gauge, oil pressure gauge--all work. What doesnt work: the clock---the radio -no speakers are hooked up to it (it’s too loud anyway)---choke-there are no chokes in the 750 edelbrock carbs (more air)---emergency brake- not hooked up ( less drag) use Park $500 pay pal deposit is required from auction winner. Electronic transfer, cashiers-check or cash required for balance of payment within 8 business days of the end of auction.. Buyer is responsible for transportation. This is an auction there are no guarantees or returns so please make sure that this is what you want before you bid.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop glosses over performance
Tue, 14 Jan 2014The Dodge Dart is a decent little car. It's honest, basic transportation, and many of us at Autoblog are genuinely fond of the Alfa Romeo-based compact sedan. For 2014, not a whole lot changes in the Dart world, save the addition of this new Blacktop edition that makes its debut here at the Detroit Auto Show.
It's all very simple, this Blacktop package, and doesn't actually alter performance in any way. Instead, buyers are treated to blacked-out exterior bits like 18-inch wheels, the crosshair grille and headlamp bezels. Inside, black/tungsten or black/red cloth seats are available, with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin.
Adding the Blacktop pack to your Dart SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group will set you back a scant $295, and while it's just an appearance package, it all looks pretty nice to us.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
