invested. This car features XV Motorsports Level II Suspension front and back, Level II brakes, a new Indy
Cylinder Heads all aluminum 528 cubic inch Street Legend Hemi, functional T/A hood with factory air cleaner and a
host of unique features. This was a ground up restoration with a real 1970 Challenger body disassembled and strip

build and has 900 miles since the build. Never been shown or presented in magazines.
Make no mistake, this isn’t an amateur build with a few bolt-ons, this is a high end custom build with best of
the best components and unmatched engineering to deliver ride quality on par with modern performance vehicles.
Started with a rust free 1970 original Dodge Challenger, removed all the glass and completely disassembled the
complete car. All the undercoating was stripped from the undercarriage. Then all the paint was removed and soda
blasted the complete body. Cars by Haines painted the complete car and undercarriage Dodge Hemi Orange Pearl. The
bottom of the car looks and shines like the top.
The car is powered by a balanced and blueprinted Indy Cylinder Heads all aluminum 528 cubic inch Street Legend
Hemi. The engine is topped with a 850 Mighty Demon which puts out 730HP @ 6600 RPM with 660 Torque @ 4800 RPM on
92 octane pump gas.
The engine is mated to a hydraulically actuated Keisler TKO 5-Speed transmission which transfers power via an
aluminum driveshaft to a built 8-3/4 rear with a limited slip differential, alloy axles and 3.90:1 gear set.
Exhaust is handled by a set of, custom built by hand by James Vega, headers with 3” pipe out of stainless steel
with electric cutouts. The complete exhaust system, from the headers to the exhaust tips are stainless steel and
the cutouts allow you to adjust the exhaust to the sound you want.
The engine bay also features a Be Cool aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, March Serpentine system with all
billet components including the hood and trunk hinges.
Crockett’s Automotive provided the fuel system starting with a custom made stainless race baffled fuel tank by
Rick’s Tanks, El Paso, Texas. The tank has a 450 LPH fuel pump located inside the tank. While at Crockett’s
all new glass was installed with electric windows and door locks and the rest of the body parts were hung and
aligned.

coil-over feature allows for adjustable ride height. These shocks are road race quality, custom valved by
application, with matching spring rates that have been professionally tested on the track and street.
To allow the suspension to work its fullest, the car has a XV Motorsports Chassis stiffening system installed. The
system includes laser cut sub frame connectors contoured to the floor pan, inner fender braces.
Brakes are road race quality featuring 14” 6-piston in front and 13” 2-piston in the rear. Rotors are true two
piece design with billet hats and slotted discs. The pistons are sized to the application including the matched
master cylinder and use of hydro-boost. Since the brakes were professionally engineered for this car the result is

temp fluid.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
