Mopar Dodge A-body Dart Demon Duster Valiant on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:0
Location:

Dallas, Texas, United States

Dallas, Texas, United States

Up for sale is a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport custom. It has the more desirable "71 front end of a Demon and a Demon interior. I has been in the Hot Rod Power Tour and has a strong engine that does not smoke at all, Offenhauser intake, Edlebrock carb, small cam around 268 and 15/8 headers. Scoop looks original. It has a rebuilt trans with a new torque converter. I spent several years having all the wiring restored so that all the factory gauges work, lights, signals, etc. IT HAS A WORKING AND CORRECT GAS GAUGE! Don't see that often. Passes inspection no problem. Replumbed exhaust and new mufflers.  I recently replaced the steering column to a floor shift model and put the original steering wheel back in. The shifter is a ratchet Hurst model. This is a non a/c car and the heater core is bypassed. The paint buffs out to a shine but there are scratches and blemishes. An extensive and expensive and documented rebuilding of the front end was done several years ago. I have extensive parts receipts and all repair receipts since I have owned the car and can be provided to look at. The 1974 Texas plates do not go with the car. The drivers seat shows upholstery wear along with the bottom of the drivers door panel. I will try to put it on the lift and upload some pictures of underneath this weekend. Please send pic requests. I will tweak the ad more this weekend as well.

Included with the car is;

The ACC carpet kit black in color that is for this car. Never opened.  
A set of four POWDERCOATED Dodge wheels never installed with center caps
A replacement metal dash. I was going to restore the radio to a two knob as original and it was easier for me than re-welding the din radio cutout.
Dodge Mopar valve covers which will most likely be installed this weekend.
Better examples of the gauge cluster trim and glove box I planned to install with the new dash. 
Flywheel inspection plate
Tach and Sunpro gauges removed when I bought the car
Wiper seal rebuild kit
New dashpad cover
Extra 1972 Dodge Y steering wheel and rally race steering wheel it came with when I bought the car.

This car has had extensive mechanical and electrical repairs to make ready for paint which was my next step. I recently ended up with two more project cars one of which my daughter wants to put together daddy daughter style. This car would not be finished for two to three more years and I do not want it to sit that long. I would not say it is a project because most of it has already been done. It is always a head turner and popular in all of the show and shines. Please contact me through Ebay for more questions or phone contact for those that have more in depth questions. I would like to answer any and all questions so not to waste either of our time. No trades. Cash only. Car up for sale locally and reserve right to terminate auction. Do not need help selling vehicle and no solicitation of other offers. Pick up locally.

Dodge hoping Fast & Furious appearance gives Dart a sales jolt [w/video]

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, Chrysler is hoping Fast & Furious 6 will be kind to the Dodge Dart. While the compact sedan doesn't actually show up in the film, Dodge has partnered up with the movie franchise for a new ad featuring the Dart.
Chrysler hasn't exactly seen the high sales numbers it was originally hoping for with the new sedan, thanks in part to a couple of missteps. For starters, most early-production vehicles were only offered with a manual transmission. Analysts believe Chrysler squandered around 95 percent of potential Dart sales because automatic transmission options weren't immediately available.
Right now, the Dodge Dart rakes 19th among compact cars, pulling down 31,064 sales through April. Last month was the company's strongest, with 8,099 units moving off of dealer lots. Unfortunately, the model has also been handicapped by its older sister, the Avenger. With Chrysler throwing heavy incentives at the aging sedan, many consumers have taken advantage of a better deal with the slightly larger, more powerful Avenger.

2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
