If I could return to the days of my youth, and purchase a new car from a dealer, and then proceed to make the modifications we did in that era, this car represents what we would have done in the early seventies. Cragar rims, upgraded suspension, bigger rear tires with a slightly raised back end and all the engine modifications that we could afford. For two years, I have spared no expense in creating a muscle car from that era, a rare Dodge Demon model that has people hanging out their windows to take pictures of it like it was one of my Ferrari's. I did not expect that! Time brings unforeseen circumstances, and my wife and I had a 'surprise' baby last year. For the right reasons, you should consider this car and how I brought it to its current condition...perhaps it's the same way you would have done it yourself:
- Interior: stripped down, lined with DynaMat sound-proofing, including the trunk, 100 percent new interior with reliable Auto-Meter gages and a modern air-conditioning system. Installed front and rear seat belts.
- Suspension: Bilstein gas shocks. This is the best riding vintage car I have driven.
- Exhaust: I tried two...scrapped one system for being too loud...ended up with a MagnaFlow mildy baffled system with cross-overs (eliminates back-fires).....with the DynaMat it sounds like a muscle car to pedestrians but is driveable on the inside.
- Paint, Finish: A true $9,000 paint job by the local Ferrari-dealer authorized paint shop. A rich red that is hard to appreciate from the photo's. True perfection. New bumpers, tail-lights (a 6 month wait for those!) Fully finished trunk
- Engine: a new MOPAR crate motor, 360 cubic inch, 400 HP, automatic with Hurst slap-stick, Holley 4BBL with a high-rise manifold, full aircraft grade fuel lines, Holley marine-grade fuel pump from a fuel-cell. New everything (MSD Ignition, alternator, voltage regulator, fuel pump regulator, everything the best it can be.)
The total restoration cost was $38,000.00. The reserve is substantially below this number. The Demon production run was short and limited, objected to by the churches for having advertised the car in front of a church wedding and that created a howl amongst the conservatives! I believe this is best Demon ever restored, at least among the best, and it is a rare car that will only increase in price. Best of all, it's a fantastic driver! Call my cell phone at 727-647-6499 if you want to chat about it.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
