BARRETT JACKSON/SHERWIN WILLIAMS/PLANET COLOR DISPLAY CAR

Come see and buy this amazing Big Hemi Challenger at the Barrett Jackson Las Vegas show this week September 25-27 at the Sherwin Williams/Planet Color booth in the beautiful Mandalay Bay Casino! This car is a promotional display car and will not be sold at the Barrett Jackson auction.

You'll get few arguments, even from Chevy and Ford fans, that Mopar wasn't hitting on all eight cylinders during the height of the muscle car era. Their engines dominated the tracks, their styling was stunning on the street, and in the case of the pony car twins, Challenger and 'Cuda, the combination was insanely appealing. Today, top-flight Mopar muscle remains in demand for all these reasons, but if you seek to go beyond the factory's abilities—because, admittedly, they drive like 45-year-old cars—you have to do something special. Enter Jason Bair and the experts at Bair Customs, home of the Big Hemi garage. Perhaps you're familiar with their work, since they've appeared in every big magazine, on several of the most-watched automotive TV shows, and even as featured cars at SEMA and the Barrett-Jackson auctions, so if you've missed them, you've probably been living under a rock.

Anyway, the idea is that Jason Bair does concours-grade work and specializes in Mopar muscle. If you want the nicest stock Challenger in the world, he's the guy who can win you top prize at the Mopar Nationals. But if you want to go beyond stock, he's still got you covered, which is exactly what happened with this stunning 1970 Challenger. They sourced a clean but tired Challenger, complete and running, and tore it down to a bare shell and rebuilt it from the molecular level on up. The result is a car that looks fairly stock aside from the rolling stock, but moves like a modern supercar with all the creature comforts. In short, it's the pure essence of pro-touring, Mopar style.

When that Challenger body was stripped naked, they fixed every bump and bruise it had ever suffered. If the panel was too far gone to be salvaged, it was replaced and invisibly stitched into the existing shell. It was primed, sanded, blocked, sanded some more, until it was totally straight. Once that part was done, they sprayed it with a few coats of traditional Hemi Orange Metallic, so it looks stock until the light hits it just so, then it really starts to glow. The blacked-out hood treatment is painted on, not a decal, and it's buried under the clear so it looks like a black hole that's settled on the hood. Trick flat black R/T side stripes were added to complete the factory look with a slight twist, although nothing rolling out of a Chrysler plant in 1970 ever looked this good. Yes, we've all seen straight cars, but after you see the exacting gaps and distortion-free surfaces on this Challenger, you're going to have to recalibrate your ruler, because it's simply astounding. All the things guys love most about the E-bodies, including a Go-Wing on the trunk and hard-to-find louvers on the rear window, were included with this build. Like I said, aside from the large-by-huge wheels and the subtle custom grille, this sucker's got a very stock look and that's just the way they wanted it.

Respecting the original design was paramount on this build, so while it does everything better than a stock car, it doesn't color too far outside the lines. That's why inside you'll find a set of custom buckets reupholstered to look like stock Challenger seats, complete with horizontal pleats. Sure, the bolsters are aggressive and the headrests are cool, but they don't jump out at you like with some builds. The stock center console remains in place and the back seat was reupholstered with restoration-grade seat covers for a totally original look. New carpets, fresh door panels, and several hundred feet of DynaMat underneath give it a factory-fresh look and a new car feel. There's a custom tilt column that blends into the background, mostly thanks to the original-style Tuff Wheel, and the full complement of factory gauges remains in the dash. The original Music Master AM radio remains in the dash for show, but there's a killer AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo system hidden out of sight, and the original A/C controls still manage the system, which blows ice cold today. Carbon-fiber accents on the dash, console, and pistol-grip shifter add a touch of high-tech without being terribly obvious about it. Even the painted and powdercoated trunk was neatly outfitted with a custom OEM-style mat and original space-saver spare and inflator kit to help the illusion. Honestly, the truly amazing thing here is that guys this talented were able to restrain themselves and stick to the factory recipe, because the line between the new and factory stuff is virtually invisible.

OK, we're getting to the good stuff, don't worry. The engine is a Gen III HEMI stroked to a legit 426 cubic inches by Muscle Motors, noted Hemi builders with a serious reputation. With close to 600 horsepower on pump gas, this Challenger humiliates any original Hemi Challenger and once you find out how well it works you won't go back to stock again. It idles nicely, it pulls like a freight train, and thanks to a full shakedown on the Power Tour, it can be driven daily without complaints. There's a custom Quick Fuel 4-barrel carb up top, living under a custom billet aluminum air cleaner that simulates the original dual-quad look but that kind of excess isn't really necessary anymore. A billet accessory drive with serpentine belt controls all the modern conveniences and dresses up the front of the engine, and a giant aluminum radiator keeps it cool. You can see Jason Bair's attention to detail everywhere you look as there's simply no part that was simply installed; everything was either polished, painted, or plated and when it went on, it was aligned and straightened to look right. Maybe that's a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but when you get results like this, a little crazy is probably OK.

It's backed by a Keisler/Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission that doesn't seem to mind the massive torque moving through it. A custom driveshaft was fabricated to withstand the force and feeds a built Dana 60 rear end filled with 3.73 gears on a Sure Grip limited slip. The original suspension is long gone (would you trust it at this point?) and replaced with a tubular subframe and a full Reilly Motorsports Alter-K-Tion front suspension with tubular A-arms, coil-over shocks, and a fat sway bar. There's also power rack-and-pinion steering, so even with the fat tires it steers so nice your grandmother could manage it, and a giant Wilwood brakes with 6-piston calipers in front and 4-pistons in back, all supported by a Hydro-Boost power assist. In back, that bulletproof Dana 60 hangs on a custom Hotchkiss suspension with a set of trick adjustable shocks and application-specific leaf springs. Subframe connectors reinforce the tub and obviously the floors and underside of the car are every bit as nice as the top side. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the gorgeous fabricated 2.5-inch exhaust system, which features polished ceramic-coated long-tube headers, a TTI X-pipe, and mufflers big enough to make the Hemi a reasonable choice for long-distance cruising. Custom Boze 2-piece wheels measuring 19x8 up front and 19x10 in back were fitted with Mickey Thompson street performance tires that do their best to hook it up.

This incredible car is fully sorted and ready to rock. You'll probably need a new Viper to keep up with it, and if you put a set of stock Rallyes on it, it might even pass for a restored stocker at shows. The combination of build quality, performance, and the subtlety of the package make for an insanely appealing Challenger. If you have questions, we'll even put you in touch with Jason Bair himself, who would be happy to tell you all about the build, which took thousands of hours and deep into the six-figures. This isn't an average guy's car, we know that. It's expensive. But if quality and detail, not to mention full functionality, matters to you, then this is the price of admission. It's a big kid's toy, but there are no disappointments at any level with this incredible Challenger.

Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.

2025 SRT Hellcat concepts as previewed by high schoolers

Thu, Jan 21 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has some very talented designers in its ranks. Like any good company, though, the automaker is always on the lookout for early talent. Even if they're still in high school. One of those talent-seeking initiatives is the company's Drive for Design contest, an event open to tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade students that are hoping for a future in design. For this year's event, students from across the country were given a shot to design their vision for a 2025 model-year Dodge SRT Hellcat. The results are impressive, as you can see in the gallery above. First place went to Ben Treinen, from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati. Second place was the only award to go to a student outside the Rust Belt, with Macon, GA's Harrison Kunselman, a student at Mount de Sales Academy taking the silver. Third place was won by a metro Detroiter – Bloomfield Hills High School student Hwanseong Jang, while fourth went to Andrew Gombac of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL. According to FCA, all four winners will have their sketches on display at the 2016 Autorama at Cobo Center at the end of February. They'll also win some pretty nifty prizes. First place will get a new Apple MacBook Pro, while second, third, and fourth get the new Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil (arguably just as good of a prize for budding designers). All four finishers will also attend a three-week automotive design course at Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, have dinner with FCA designers, and score three passes to Autorama. FCA will cover travel and lodging to Auburn Hills. Read on for the official blast from FCA. Related Video: FCA US Design Team Announces Winners of Drive for Design Contest January 19, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The FCA US LLC Design team today announced four winners in this year's Drive for Design contest. The FCA US Drive for Design contest challenged U.S. high school students in grades 10-12 to design a Dodge SRT Hellcat for the year 2025. "The Drive for Design contest continues to be a great way for the FCA US Design team to connect with students that show an interest in art and design," said Mark Trostle Â– Head of Dodge and SRT Design, FCA US LLC.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon

Fri, 23 May 2014

This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
