Built by the famous Barry White and crew of Barry's Speed Shop SRRC in Corona, CA and
Ron Jenkins of Magnumforce Race Car Fabrication who are both very well known for quality craftsmanship.
During the build, Rikki Rockett of the 80's rock band "Poison" autographed the center console and the name Poison Dart was born.

Barry started the transformation with a discarded 1969 Dart from Nevada with a solid, rust-free body that was stripped, blocked and painted a beautiful House of Kolor "molly orange" with a matte black hood/scoop and trunk stripe. Barry called on Ron Jenkins to personally install one of his custom designed tubular a-body k-member, front shock perch braces and sub frame connectors before installing a Mopar Performance 472ci modern day HEMI under the hood.

Here's a list of some of the parts in the build...

QA1 adj front and rear shocks with front coil-overs handle suspension duty

Hot Rod Air A/C (concealed in glove compartment)

AM/FM Digital Radio w Remote (concealed in glove compartment)

Flaming River Steering Column w Rack and Pinion Power Steering

ABS Hydraulic Boosted Power Brakes - never a hard pedal (hidden in driver's wheel well)

Baer Calipers with 14" Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors

Currie Enterprises Dana 60 axle with very streetable 3.50 posi-gears

Built 727 (900hp capable) w 9' billet 3,200stall converter

Gear Vendors Overdrive (control board concealed in center console slide door)

472ci HEMI with Twin 650 Edelbrock Thunder AVS 4 Barrel Carbs

Custom "blue printed" Distributor

"Mooneyes" Tach, Oil, Temp and Volt Gauges

18" front and 19" rear custom Magnum wheels

Pirelli P-Zero 225/40-18 Front and Nitto NT05 275/35-19 Rears (95% tread remaining)


Sold by Barry's Speed Shop at the Russo and Steele auto auction to the sole owner since the build whom I purchased it from last year. In addition to the "filmed" $66,000 auction price, the previous owner spent an additional $14,000 by upgrading many of the off-the-shelf parts such as the exhaust with a fully hand welded work of art which included custom welded jet-hot coated headers, 3" custom welded stainless pipes with Magnaflow x-pipe and polished mufflers which not only looks awesome but sounds grrrreat and tucked up very nicely. He also added a much appreciated Gear Vendors Overdrive unit for effortless highway travel, cleaned up all the wiring, added subtle but necessary exterior touches and finally a set of Mooneyes tach, oil, volts and temp gauges.

Since I've owned it, I spent many hours and approximately $7,500 perfecting an already close to perfect build. Most notably, the stock 727 torqueflight and B&M street converter were not up to the task. I chose Pat Barrett of Level 10 performance transmissions to custom rebuild the 727 to a "bullet-proof" 900hp capable unit with a brand new 9" billet 3,200 stall converter and properly timed solenoids that always choose the perfect gear.

Last but not least, I'm very particular about a clean and crisp throttle response so I contacted Hemi Specialist, John Arruzza who jetted and flowed a brand new pair of Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650cfm carbs specifically for my application as well as a fully blueprinted distributor. The end result is a crisp throttle response and excellent light to heavy throttle transition that's smooth and precise.

All this labor and attention to detail translates to a truly "turn key" custom built “Super Muscle Car” with all the top of the line parts, modern day comforts and the high quality fit and finish one expects from a “one off” custom muscle machine of this caliber and price point forever immortalized on film!

I have numerous magazines that feature the Poison Dart as well as the original framed hand drawn rendering with the autographs of all those involved in the build as well as a DVD of the episode and a vender presentation sign for car shows that goes with the sale.

I personally have over $60k invested in the Dart to get it to this point so please no $20k low ballers.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392

Mon, Mar 9 2015

I've just started reading the third installment in a planned five-book biography of Lyndon Baines Johnson, Master of the Senate, written by the incomparable Robert Caro. Conveniently, a recent trip to drive the BMW X6 M and 228i Convertible was to be staged in Austin, TX, within easy driving distance of LBJ's birthplace, Johnson City. And yes, the city is named for his family. Having completed my duties with the Bimmers, I borrowed the spangled 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 you see above, to squire me around the Texas capitol for a weekend, and as a lift out to the Hill Country homestead of our 36th President. Johnson City isn't exactly a road trip mecca, but there's a pretty good brewery, a museum, the reconstructed LBJ house to take snapshots of, and it's a nice drive to get out there if you've got a 485-horsepower muscle car at your disposal. Driving Notes With the heroic Hellcat, this 392 and the R/T Scat Pack (that Brandon Turkus reviewed recently), there are more SRT-treated Challengers to choose from than ever before. There are 707 obvious reasons that the Hellkitty is the top dog (as it were), but there are important difference between this 392 and the Scat Pack, too. Both cars make use of the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 putting out 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, but the 392 also gets an adaptive suspension, six-piston Brembo brake calipers (instead of four-piston), wider tires, leather and Alcantara seats, a heated steering wheel, a louder stereo and HID headlights. When LBJ was campaigning for his seat in the House of Representatives, he would've loved to have something as potent as this monster of a V8 under the hood of his canvassing car. The 6.4L snorts with authority before it sends the big coupe forward to just about any speed I'd ask of it, and with a quickness. Johnson was known for haranguing drivers to step on it, when all that stood between himself and a few more votes was the ability to fit one more stump speech into the day. The 392 feels as though it could cover a quarter of the state of Texas in a morning if you throttle down deep enough (faster even than the Johnson City Windmill, I'd guess). Though there's a six-speed manual available, I'm actually quite fond of the eight-speed automatic in the 392. The two-pedal setup better suits the fast-cruiser attitude of the car, and it never served up any poorly conceived shift logic when I left it in D. Of course, the roads are better now than they were in the 1930s and 40s, too.
