1969 Super bee A12  440 Sixpack 4-Speed Reproduction

If you were serious about going fast in 1969, the Dodge store was where you should have been shopping. They were so serious, in fact, that they built these incredible A12-code cars with 440 cubic inches, three 2-barrel carbs, and a wild lift-off fiberglass hood. In fact, they were serious enough to forego even hubcaps on the car, knowing that racers wouldn’t need them, or better yet, would simply be installing a set of lightweight aftermarket wheels the minute they got home. Lightweight, cheap, and scary fast was a recipe that served the Super Bees extremely well.

This Original F8 1969 Super bee A12 Reproduction  is a great example of the buy-it-today, race-it-tomorrow cars that Dodge was putting out at the height of the muscle car era. Subject to a restoration three years ago, it remains in nice condition today, ready to show or enjoy. This car can be purchased at the fraction of the cost of an original A12 car. One added bonus is this is a true Superbee with original fender tag.

This car was built like the originals.  There are no options on the car except for the 440 Six Pack engine, 4-Speed and the white Bumblebee sport stripe on the tail. Personally, I really dig the stripped down, bare-knuckled street fighters like this – they don’t have any kind of identity crisis like some of the loaded up cars might. You wanted fast, this is what you bought. If you wanted something with more luxury, you bought something else that wasn’t as fast. Combined with that lift-off hood, cars like this certainly separated the men from the boys.

That’s right, nothing but the go-fast gear. You got a problem with that? Maybe this is too much car for you, after all. Allow us to show you something more modest, say, in the minivan department.

If you’re still with me, let’s talk about the detailing on this car. Top and bottom, it is very presentable. The bodywork is nice quality. In fact, it’s a lot nicer than any street racer has a right to be. The A12-specific hood has the correct finish (many times the black is too flat). It rolls on a set of black steel wheels.  And since these cars didn’t come with hubcaps, the factory dressed them up with chrome lug nuts.

Underhood, it has a correct Six Pack air cleaner, electronic ignition and Mopar Performance Valve covers.  The engine itself is a stock built 440 with pleanty of power. The rear is an 8 3/4 with 391 gears.

Inside, you’ll find a mix of nice original parts with high quality reproductions. The dash bezels look good, as do the new armrest and inside door handles. All soft trim from the headliner to the door panels to the carpet is in perfect shape. As you can see it has a  rally dash.

Muscle car collecting is about reliving an era that we’ll probably never see again. It was a time when there weren’t as many rules, and the factory-built cars were purpose-built weapons that any guy could put on the street. The A12s were perhaps the most pure expression of Chrysler’s go-fast, no-frills, take-no-prisoners philosophy, and this car is a great example of it. If you want your iron fist hidden in a velvet glove, you should probably buy something else. If you simply want the iron fist, however, this is exactly the car for you.

FCA recalls 570,000 SUVs from Jeep and Dodge over fire woes

Sun, Dec 27 2015

Fiat Chrysler US has issued two recalls covering a total of about 570,000 Jeep and Dodge models. The first concerns vanity mirror wiring in the Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011 and 2012 model years, and in Dodge Durango units built before September 12, 2012. The automaker recalled almost 900,000 units last year to repair the issue, then faced more issues this year when the fires continued in repaired vehicles. This new recall seeks to resolve the issue, FCA saying that the post-recall fires happened in a tiny percentage of vehicles equipped with a specific wiring package. This recall is for 352,831 total units in the US, another 26,478 in Canada, 13,037 in Mexico, and 84,330 internationally. No injuries or deaths have been reported. FCA says it will inform customers as to when they can schedule a service visit to remedy the issue. The second recall takes aim at 60,107 examples of the Jeep Compass and Patriot from the 2015 model year in the US, plus 5,755 in Canada, 3,351 in Mexico, and 23,995 in other markets. Those models could suffer from an out-of-position clamp on the power steering fluid line. The error could allow fluid to leak, increasing the risk of a fire if the fluid ends up on a hot surface. In the case of a complete loss of fluid, drivers will need to use a lot more effort to steer. The automaker reports no injuries or accidents, and will advise customers when to head to the dealer for service.

2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.

Ford Police Interceptors dominate Michigan State Police testing

Tue, Nov 1 2016

Once again, Ford Motor Company builds the fastest police vehicles. The Blue Oval touted the news in an official release following Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testing. Ford did very well. Except for one acceleration metric – zero to 10 miles per hour – the Blue Oval's Taurus and Explorer-based cop cars were the quickest, with particular praise coming for the EcoBoost-powered models, which bested Chevrolet and Dodge's V8-powered variants. Dearborn's products also posted the fastest average times around MSP's vehicle dynamics course. But it wasn't all positive for Ford. The only four-cylinder in the contest, the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost Ford SSP Sedan, had both the lowest top speed, 120 mph, and the slowest acceleration figures. It was also the slowest in track testing. Ford's products also failed to match the braking and top speeds of its rivals from Detroit and Auburn Hills – the rear-drive Charger Pursuit posted the best braking stats of the entire test, while the V8-powered Chevrolet Caprice hit the highest top speed, at 155 mph. Ford did score a top speed award, among SUVs, but at 132 mph, the naturally aspirated Police Interceptor Utility had to share its award with the equally fast, rear-drive Chevrolet Tahoe. The LA County Sheriff's timing isn't publicly available, but according to Ford, the EcoBoost-powered police cars put on a similarly impressive show for cops on the West Coast. We've assembled a spreadsheet on Google Docs that offers an easy to browse comparison of the different stats assembled by the Michigan State Police, and divided the vehicles between standard V6-powered sedans, high-performance sedans (EcoBoost and V8 models), and SUVs.
