I have decided to list ONE TIME on ebay my REAL RED 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. This car was sold brand new in 1969 after the Talladega 500 race. It was truly one of those "Race on Sunday, buy on Monday" type cars. When the original owner walked into the dealership that Monday in Birmingham AL, they had 2 Daytonas on their floor. A blue one and a red one. The red with black wing was chosen(I have pictures of the blue Daytona from this dealership as well!) The original owner was an airline pilot, and kept a meticulous log(as most pilots do) of every SINGLE thing he did to the car since 1969, including receipts for oil changes, spark plug wires, you name it. This car was a daily driver and was USED as such. It towed boats, drove all over the country, and even went back to the Talladega 500 in 1970 and he watched the race sitting on the wing with his feet propped up on the back window!!! See the pic below! By 1979 the car was still going strong at 99000 miles, and the transmission was changed at this time. By 1986 the car was being used a little more sparingly, and had 126,800 miles when the engine was changed for a new 440. In 1998 the car had a whopping 142000 miles(a lot for a daytona anyway!) and he decided to have the car redone. This took 3 years and well over $22000 dollars on the refresh. At that time a date code correct 1969 440 and matching transmission were taken from a 1969 Charger R/T and completely rebuilt(i have pictures of the donor car and engine). The car was driven less than 2000 miles since it's restoration in 2000 mainly to shows, the Talladega reunions, etc. I personally remember the car at a few shows across the southeast around 2005-2007. In Feb. 2013 the original owner passed away at the age of 80, and I acquired the car from the family this past June. It had 144,102 miles on it at that time. Since June I have only put 63 miles on the Daytona. To be quite honest, I am a bit scared to drive a car like this, as they are so rare and OEM parts are nonexistant should something happen to it. I did cruise the car and get it up to 70 mph when driving. It was awesome! This Daytona will be the crown jewel of someone's collection. I have enjoyed owning it, but feel much more comfortable driving my less valuable Daytona clone around, and figured it was time to give it a new loving home. The car as stated runs and drives great, the gauges work, the console lights work, even the small key light works. The car sounds all stock and fires up quickly and effortlessly. The only thing i noticed did not work on the couple drives I took was the tachometer. I would consider this automotive piece of history a strong daily driver. While not a survivor, or a 100 point show car, it is a VERY nice car and has been a southern car all it's life. There is no carfax report on the car(HA!), but i can tell you it is now a 2 owner car, and has 1 accident. This happened in 1970 when the car was 8 months old. It was hit in the passenger door. It was repaired decently in 1970 and stayed that way until 1998 when it was restored. At that time it was fixed correctly, and you cannot tell now if i didn't have the pictures to prove it. Like I said, I am only listing this car ONCE, I was VERY fortunate to be able to buy this car, and am not against keeping it forever. If you have kept up with the market on Superbirds and Daytonas, you already know about what a car like this is worth. My reserve is priced VERY low for a car of this caliber. In fact I would venture to say I have not seen a real Daytona in this shape sell for less than my reserve in probably 15 years. I've watched some project cars sell for less than this car will go for. So yes it is priced to sell. If you're in the market for a real Daytona in a beautiful color combo, this is your one chance. I am really not interested in trades. The lucky new owner will get all paperwork and photo albums I have of the car, as well as it's original Alabama historic antique plate. The car has the fender tag, but the family could not locate the build sheet from the car. This is a very serious auction, please bid only if you have the funds available to purchase this car. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time for any reason. I will assist in the transaction whether you're 20 miles away or anywhere in the world. It seems that most of the nicer cars I have sold over the years have gone to many many other countries, including Germany, Sweden, UK, Australia, and Italy. Thanks for looking and good luck! |

2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Drivers' Notes | Wide awake
Fri, Sep 21 2018Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — I've always wondered how Dodge would evolve the Challenger. There was only one real generation, not counting the rebadged Mitsubishi. Past and present, it's always looked the same. With the Hellcat, Demon, and now my personal favorite, the Hellcat Redeye Widebody, it makes total sense. There's no need to redesign it every few years. Just tweak it and add cool features — like flared fenders and the 797-hp Hellcat engine. It's all you need. This thing makes a statement. The Redeye is the car your neighbors want a ride in. I parked in our office building's basement, and co-workers heard me gunning the engine — two stories up. It's a growl. It has bass. It's angry. It gets a little metallic sometimes, depending on how and when you lay on the gas. I launched fairly hard at every traffic light. Sometimes I'd rev at idle. The Monroney that came with our test car lists the fuel economy as zero (it actually gets 13 city and a respectable 22 highway). But still. You get the point. I've always liked how the Challenger drives. It's big. It's heavy. The hood looks like the deck of an aircraft carrier. It's not trying to be a track rat. Go fast in a straight line. That's what you do. Take a hard left and maybe you skid a little bit. Maybe that's the idea. You don't eat cheeseburgers because they're good for you. You eat them because they taste good. Hey, cheeseburgers have protein. And vitamins. Healthy isn't the right description, but there are some benefits. The same reasoning applies to this Challenger. The interior is attractive, well-furnished and comfortable. The leather-trimmed seats are supportive. I love the saddle brown color. I used to say the coupe's low roof and bulky A-pillars were a problem. Then I got over that. You're driving nearly 800 hp, so sit up and be on your toes. The trunk is huge, too. I could have put a car seat in the back, had I needed to. You can live with the Challenger. And the Redeye is perhaps the best version yet. The starting price is about $60 grand. That's a steal. The price of our tester is $92,290. That's insane. The $6,000 widebody pack is the thing I'd recommend most out of all the options. Get the nice leather, too. This content is hosted by a third party.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 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.
Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
