This is a 1969 Dodge Dart (Mopar).   Originally, it was a slant six cylinder. I pulled a 318, 904, front disc brakes, and rear end from a 1974 Dart and put it in the car you see. The car has been completely stripped down to bear metal and rebuilt and repainted from the ground up.  Sheet metal work and sub-frame connector work was done at Pro Tech in Kennewick Washington.   As well, Pro Tech did the painting on the body of the car. The doors, deck lid, hood, and fenders were painted and fitted by Eddie Robbins and Tim O'Keefe of Snake River Street Rods, Kennewick, Washington.  The interior upholstery work was done by Pete Medrano of Kennewick, Washington and as you might be able to tell from the pictures, the headliner still needs to be installed (so does a stereo- I have installed two 4" speakers under the dash and run speaker wires to the rear). The engine was bored .300 over at S&B and rebuilt with Edlebrock intake and cam. There is a carter 4 barrel carburetor on the car presently. The heads are commando heads with 2.02" intake and 1.88" exhaust ports (they are stamped with an 'X'). Dick at American Eagle Muffler ran 2 5/8" exhaust out from the Hooker headers.   The car has a B & M floor shifter in it.  The car scoots along very nicely and as you can see from the pictures is near flawless in the paint and body.  The dash and visors have new covers and the dashboard is has been painted gloss black.  The interior trim pieces are all here.  However, one of the plastic pillar post covers will need to be glued.  A very tiny chip appears just below the corner of the rear window and a small chip is below the windshield. This car is not finished, however.  It needs a headliner, stereo, rear speakers, and the trim mounted along the drip rail above the doors  For the winning bidder, I will include an 8 3/4 rear end with posi gears (3:55) ready to assemble and put under the car.  I have receipts for well over $40,000 invested in this car, but I must sell it. This car is almost done and the price reflects that.  If you would like to see more pictures, especially beginning to end, of the car when it was in the process of being restored, I have those as well.  Thanks for looking. I am selling this car for my brother and he has clear title.

Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.

Dodge Vipers selling for $480k in China

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Want to get your hands on a new Dodge Viper? Be prepared to pay dearly. It starts at nearly $90k here in the US, but that's nothing compared to what you'd have to pay for one if you lived in, say, China. CarsNewsChina.com reports on one Viper available in Beijing for an eye-watering 298 million yuan – equivalent to about $480,000 at today's exchange rates and representing more than a 500-percent markup. Part of that premium comes down to the Chinese tax code that charges a reported 60 percent for anything with an engine displacing over four liters. And the Viper's, we needn't remind you, is more than twice that. It naturally costs some to import a car to China as well, but most of the rest is pure profit. The Beijing dealership reportedly gets the cars from dealers in California, has already sold three and plans to import several more. The dealer can also get you (or wealthy Chinese individuals) a Corvette Stingray for a comparatively cheap 1.73 million yuan (or $280k). Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Dodge Diplomat Salon

Sun, Jan 29 2017

Except for the Viper, Prowler, and some Mitsubishi-derived AWD machines, all Chrysler cars went front-wheel-drive starting in the 1990 model year and continued that way until our current century. The last holdout was the Dodge Diplomat (and its Plymouth Gran Fury and Chrysler Fifth Avenue siblings), and these cars were the most common police cruisers in America throughout most of the 1980s and well into the 1990s. You won't see many Diplomats today, but I found this high-luxe civilian Salon version in my local Denver self-service yard. This one was purchased new in Cheyenne, which is just up I-25 from Denver. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. A Diplomat was one of the automotive protagonists in the classic car-chase scene from the 1990 film, Short Time. Diplomats have figured heavily in many films over the years. I got my first driver's license in 1982, in a Navy town with ruthless Diplomat-equipped traffic-law enforcement, and so my right foot still twitches in the direction of a brake pedal when I see this grille. This one was full of Denver-centric ephemera from the early-to-middle 1990s, layered with the shredded paper and rodent poop that indicates long-term outdoor storage, so I'm guessing that the car's elderly owner stopped driving it 20 years ago and it sat until finally evicted by an angry landlord. These cars weren't known for being particularly quick in stock form. This one has the carbureted 318-cubic-inch V8 (yes, some cars still had carburetors as late as 1988), good for 140 horsepower.
