An original 62 max wedge hood with scoop and holes added for velocity stacks. Detailed engine - trunk -all chrome and stainless is original in good condition.

I spent much $$$$ on ebay looking to upgrade pieces when I could find them.

Although not an original Max wedge this car has a history of being a max wedge race car most of it’s previous life, the former 2 owners never registered it.

I bought this car 9 years ago. I decided to do a conservation on it, doing everything necessary while still keeping the old school raced-bred appearance. The last 9 years have been a labor of love, time and money well spent on refurbishing the exterior , interior mechanicals. engine and trim pieces, to get it to where it is today.

Today it is what it is, a retired race car that’s used for local cruise nights and car shows.

It had a 1966 426- block in it when I bought it but after a few years it froze a rod bearing -that’s when I was told it also had a cracked crank I decided it made more sense to replace it with a professionally rebuilt 440 short block that could runs on pump gas and and add some cubic inches. While it was apart I had the stage III 518 max heads re-done by S&K speed and ordered a new comp cam, lifters, roller rockers, push rods, springs, shafts.

$$$$ later it runs great (pictures of heads and block before assembly included)

It starts every time, it’s loud. It has a strong stable idle (about 1000 rpm), it doesn’t stall.

Shifts easy just push 1-2-3-

It’s great around town. (it’s a piece of theater ) It’s reliable and it’s faster than it needs to be

It’s gets more than it’s share of attention at cruise nights and car shows.

Head lights, low & high beam, tail lights, parking & backup lights, signals, horn, wipers, dash lights, dome light, speedometer/odometer, temp gauge, voltage gauge, oil pressure gauge--all work.

What doesnt work:

the clock---the radio -no speakers are hooked up to it (it’s too loud anyway)---choke-there are no chokes in the 750 edelbrock carbs (more air)---emergency brake- not hooked up ( less drag) use Park

2014 Dodge Durango

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
