Well the time has come in my life to make one of the hardest decisions and sell my baby.  I have owned and cared for this Demon since 2007.  I have put countless hours and money into building it to what it is today.  Unfortunately, I am being dealt a hand that is forcing me to give up a car that I always dreamed of.  It isn’t a 100% street ready muscle car yet,but with little more effort and money this car can truly be a beast on the street or track.  It has completely rebuilt stroker 451cu motor; with high quality parts, no cheap stuff or cutting corners with this baby.  It has a completely rebuilt 727 with a full manual/auto valve train and race quality bands and clutches.  Tranny has been dyno’d for dependability and accuracy here at Transparts Wharehouse. 

Rear end is a completely rebuilt 9 3/4 rear end with new Green bearings, rebuilt clutch type posi unit, 3.91 gears on a 741case.  Nothing is cheap on this car, as it has taking me 6 years to get this far. The engine alone is worth more than what I am asking for the whole car, and I’m including the extra parts that I have accumulated through its years.  I will try my best to capture everything that I can possibly think of as far as parts go, but if incase I miss something just ask me about it.  The undercarriage is nearly done; I was working my way back in cleaning, removing surface rust, and treating with undercoat.  Interior is about 95% done, with everything either new or rebuilt. Only thing is the headliner, because it was my first install and I didn’t use enough glue. 

All is needed to make this car streetable is the wiring, alignment, shifter install, and a new driveshaft.  This is a true Californian survivor, with the only major rust being at the trunk wheel well.  I was going to cut that portion off and weld in new flat sheet metal for the fuel cell to mount up to.  It does have its share of dents and damage to the front fenders and rear as you can see, but nothing major.  I am truly beside myself in having to sell this one car that I have owned for longer than anything else, but I have faith that it will be going to someone who can finish it up and drive it like it was meant to be driven.  I have put more time and money into this car than I will get from it and I know that.  I am not asking anywhere near what it costs to buy a 71 Dodge Demon in decent shape with a 500 plus horsepower 451 stoker in front of a race ready tranny and bullet proof rear end that just needs minor things to get it on the road. 

You just can’t simply buy this kind of car with everything in it, running, with all the body work done, and with a paint job for less than 20K.  Here someone has a chance to buy cheap, finish and sell for nearly double.  Any questions just ask and I will do my best to answer ASAP.  I have the clear California Title in my name on hand, so don’t hesitate to bid, win, and come with a car transport to pick this baby up.  You will absolutely not be disappointed, good luck bidding.  I have over 90 pictures of it that I can send through e-mail uppon request.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
