Thank you for taking the time to learn about my 1970 Dodge Charger - General Lee

In 1970, the Charger changed slightly from the previous 1968 and 1969 models. This would be the last year of the 2nd generation Charger and featured a large wraparound chrome bumper and the grille was no longer divided in the middle. New electric headlight doors replaced the old vacuum style. The taillights were similar to those used in 69, but 500 and R/T models came with a new more attractive taillight panel.

When I took possession of the car a few days before Christmas 2013, It supposedly only needed a few things that could be accomplished with a couple of weekends worth of work.  This of course turned out not to be true. 

The previous owner told me the 318 engine and TorqueFlite  trans both had less than 5k miles since being rebuilt.  The motor checked out fine and runs great.  The transmission was another story.  I had to have a reputable transmission shop go through it and do a rebuild. (April 2014)

Prior to me purchasing the car the previous owner performed the following:

·        2 NEW Quarter panels installed

·        New windshield installed

·        New gas tank and sender unit installed

·        New Falcon racing tires mounted on correct General Lee Wheels

·        New Engine and Trans mounts installed

·        New carpet and Dyno Mating installed

It reportedly only needed the drive shaft to be shortened (Because the motor and trans had come out of a running, driving dodge pick-up truck), brakes, headlights and finishing of wiring. 

The car now runs and drives fine.  As I mentioned before the, I the transmission rebuilt.  I had to purchase a new carburetor.  The brakes were a nightmare, but are now all new, including a new master cylinder. I installed brand new exhaust from the manifolds back, and installed a working Dixie horn.

The previous owner told me he had over $15,000 into it, and I believe it.  I have about $5000 more into it.  I realize this is not a $20,000 car, but it is a real 1970 Dodge Charger that came with air-conditioning from the factory.  The paint and body work are extremely amateur and it looks like a General Lee after it has been jumped a few times.  The car is a lot of fun to drive around town and everyone wants to take a picture with it.  Starts, runs and stops good.  Thanks for looking

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with '600-plus horsepower' officially unveiled [w/video]

Tue, 20 May 2014

Dodge has officially unveiled the most powerful vehicle to ever wear the Challenger name - the SRT Hellcat - complete with over 600 horsepower courtesy of a supercharged, 6.2-liter Hemi V8. It will be offered alongside the 485-hp Challenger SRT.
The new, force-induced V8 isn't just the most powerful ever fitted to the Challenger, it's the most powerful eight-cylinder Chrysler Group has ever built. Power figures aren't finalized, so expect to see "over 600 hp" bandied about quite a lot. That fury will be channeled through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Yes, over 600 ponies through an eight-speed auto. So far, the only vehicle we know of that delivers more output through that many gears is the as-yet untested Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Sadly, we don't have performance metrics just yet, although if this thing can't crack four seconds to 60 miles per hour, we'll be pretty surprised.
As is the theme nowadays, the 2015 Challenger SRT features a number of driving modes, governing power output, shift speeds for the 8AT, steering effort, traction control settings and suspension settings. There are three pre-programmed options - Default, Sport and Track - and a Custom mode that allows drivers to mix and match to their heart's content.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop glosses over performance

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

The Dodge Dart is a decent little car. It's honest, basic transportation, and many of us at Autoblog are genuinely fond of the Alfa Romeo-based compact sedan. For 2014, not a whole lot changes in the Dart world, save the addition of this new Blacktop edition that makes its debut here at the Detroit Auto Show.
It's all very simple, this Blacktop package, and doesn't actually alter performance in any way. Instead, buyers are treated to blacked-out exterior bits like 18-inch wheels, the crosshair grille and headlamp bezels. Inside, black/tungsten or black/red cloth seats are available, with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin.
Adding the Blacktop pack to your Dart SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group will set you back a scant $295, and while it's just an appearance package, it all looks pretty nice to us.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
