A good running 66 Dodge Dart convertible with a 273 V-8 and automatic transmission.
This car has had a 1963 Dart front clip put on it so it looks like a 63 Dart from the front.
We bought this car as a project and rebuilt the front suspension and installed a 1 1/8 diameter front anti-sway bar.
The carburetor, & alternator were replaced, the radiator cleaned and the engine was given a good tune-up, including a valve adjustment.
The engine starts right-up and runs strong.
Everything works, including the power top.
This is a solid California car with just a little "pin-hole" rust, behind the right rear wheel and on the rear floor.
This minor rust has been cleaned, treated & repaired. The chrome trim has some minor dings & scratches.
The automatic transmission shifts strong and this is the first year for mechanical shift linkage w/ the "slip-in" rear U-joint yoke.
This set-up makes it easy to swap-in all the other later Mopar LA engines and automatic transmissions.
The brakes work well and were inspected. Everything was clean & in order, with lot's of brake shoe lining left. (10 inch drum brakes)
The convertible top has been replaced and is in great condition, including the plastic rear window. (clear & no damage)
The inner top "well" has been replaced with tan vinyl material.
We no longer have time to complete this project so we are selling this car "as-is".
The car still needs final sand-out and paint. (It is in white primer)
The interior needs to be redone but the floors are solid & the original black color door panels are all in good condition.
The original jack is in the trunk and there is a new spare.
Things needed: The speedometer has a needle bounce and the turn single switch does not "cancel". (all lights work)
This car is in driving condition with a clear title and original California "Black & Yellow" plates.\
Fly-in and drive away... for Summer fun or for a restoration project.
Must sell - No reserve & no BS... This is a nice car as it is now and it has the potential to be a great car, with the addition of some interior & paint work.

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat
Fri, 11 Jul 2014So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee
Tue, 12 Mar 2013I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
