Dodge "poison" Dart Hemi 472ci, Built 727, Gear Vendor O/d, Currie Dana 60, A/c on 2040-cars
Bayonne, New Jersey, United States
Your chance to own TV's "WRECKS to RICHES" final and best build of season one!
Named the "POISON DART” during the filming of Discovery Channel’s series “Wrecks to Riches” in 2005. Built by the famous Barry White and crew of Barry's Speed Shop SRRC in Corona, CA (supermusclecar.com/cars/dart/dart.html) and Ron Jenkins of Magnumforce Race Car Fabrication (magnumforce.com/magnumforce_tubular_kmember.htm); both very well known for quality craftsmanship. During the build, Rikki Rockett of the 80's rock band "Poison" autographed the center console and the "Poison Dart" name was born! Started the transformation as a discarded 1969
Dart from Nevada with a solid, rust-free body that was stripped, blocked and
painted a beautiful House of Kolor - Molly Orange with a matte black hood/scoop
and trunk stripe. When it came to power, Barry replaced the stock 318ci for a Mopar
Performance 472ci modern day Hemi! To deal with the extra heft and grunt,
Barry called in Ron Jenkins to install one of his custom a-body tubular/racing
k-members and weld in structural reinforcements and sub frame connectors to tie
it all together. QA1 adj front and rear shocks with front coil-overs handle suspension

In addition to the "filmed" $66,000 auction price, the previous owner spent an additional $14,000 by upgrading many of the off-the-shelf parts such as the exhaust with a fully hand welded work of art which included custom welded jet-hot coated headers, 3" custom welded stainless pipes with Magnaflow x-pipe and polished mufflers which not only looks awesome but sounds grrrreat and tucked up very nicely! He also added a much appreciated Gear Vendors Overdrive unit for effortless highway travel, cleaned up all the wiring, added subtle but necessary exterior touches and finally a set of Mooneyes tach, oil, volts and temp gauges. Since I've owned it,
I spent many hours and approximately $7,500 perfecting an already close
to perfect build. Most notably, the stock 727 torqueflight and B&M street
converter were not up to the task. I chose Level 10 performance transmissions in Hamburg, NJ (levelten.com) to custom build the 727 to be a 900hp capable
"bullet-proof" unit with a brand new billet 9" 3,200 stall
converter that really lays the power down. Last but not least, I'm very
particular about a clean and crisp throttle response so I contacted Hemi Specialist,
John Arruzza (arruzzahighperformance.com) who jetted and flowed a brand new pair of Edelbrock Thunder Series
AVS 650cfm carbs specifically for my application as well as a fully blueprinted
distributor. The end result is a crisp throttle response and excellent light to
heavy throttle transition that's smooth and precise. All this labor and attention to detail translates to a truly "turn key" custom built “Super Muscle Car” with all the top of the line parts, modern day comforts and the high quality fit and finish one expects from a “one off” custom muscle machine of this caliber and price point forever immortalized on film! I have numerous magazines that feature the Poison Dart as well as the original framed hand drawn rendering with the autographs of all those involved in the build as well as a DVD of the episode and a vender presentation sign for car shows that goes with the sale.

2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
Dodge gives 2015 Viper slight power increase, new GT model
Tue, 02 Sep 2014With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days.
First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard.
Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.
Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts
Tue, 08 Jul 2014When 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.
