New rebuilt 325 hemi engine done by a specialist in these type motors. Transmission is done and ready to drop in. Brakes are new but are not currently working (I think they just need bleeding) Electrical is in place and needs to be hooked up. Have shelves full of new and used parts including a new windshield that I paid $2,500 for, as best I can tell the only parts I know that I am missing are some engine pully parts that somehow got lost at a powder coat company. If anyone has these please call, would be interested in buying."

 1957 DODGE CUSTOM ROYAL LANCER D-500 (not a cornet)  My dad and I were working on getting this car completed and life is demanding that we sell it not completed as intended.  All of the expensive and hard to get done work has been completed.  Car is needing final assembly of finished components to drive.   The car is extremely rare being a D-500 performance car.   This is an early American muscle car that I wish we could have experienced driving.   If you buy it my dad and i would love to take it for a spin when you finish it.  One rare option being a Texas car is that it has factory A/C  with the much desired 235 Hemi engine. 

When we purchased the car the man had  done some work on the frame and brakes for restoration.   The brakes are off of a wagon so they are the larger version brake assembly.  He wanted to make it a D-501 clone.   This did not happen except that it has larger brakes.   When we built the car we paid for and purchased the best parts and craftsmanship we could afford.  The car was a straight Texas car to begin with and did have some rust in the floor boards that was repaired by the body shop.    The paint turned out great and still needs to be color sanded and buffed out. 

Interior is complete including headliner and carpet.  We were able to find the correct fabric with the original style gold thread.   The engine and  transmission are ready to be installed and have both been professionally rebuilt to the highest of standards by people who were experienced with these type engines.  I have most all of the parts.  We lost some of the engine pulleys at the powder coater.  This is really going to make agreat car for someone.  If you have any questions please do not hezitate to give me a call 410 533 5347 cell      We invested a lot in the car and hope to get as much as possible back but are also realize it does not always work out that way.

Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.

Driving the Jeep J6, Shakedown Challenger and other Mopar concepts

Wed, Sep 11 2019

Mopar has been a one-stop-shop for factory-backed performance modifications and accessories on FCA products for a long time now. You want a 707-horsepower engine for your old Plymouth Belvedere? Mopar has you covered with the Hellcrate. Maybe you want a lift and off-roading lights on that newly-bought Wrangler? Mopar can accommodate those wants (or needs, we don’t judge) as well. We get to see some of the companyÂ’s weirdest creations every now and then, but rarely do we get the opportunity to drive the FCA Mopar concepts. ThatÂ’s what made this past Woodward Dream Cruise so special: We got to rip some of MoparÂ’s finest and most recent creations up and down Woodward Avenue. Everything from a 1971 Challenger restomod to the brand-new Easter Jeep Safari J6 concept was in attendance, so letÂ’s get right to it. Mopar Woodward View 6 Photos 1967 Plymouth Hellvedere This car is near the pinnacle of what you can do with off-the-shelf Mopar purchases. It was only a humble 1967 Plymouth Belvedere before Mopar dropped the 707-horsepower supercharged V8 from the Hellcat into the engine bay. Sound ridiculous? Yeah, it is. Other parts of it are new as well, including the disc brakes. Good call. However, Mopar didnÂ’t remove the classic car charm from the entire driving experience. The steering, for example, is surely as slow and inaccurate as it was back in 1967. That doesnÂ’t help matters when youÂ’re trying to put 707 horsepower to the pavement with less-than-ideal rear rubber. Floor it in damn near any gear of the Tremec six-speed, and the front end rises straight up as the rear kicks sideways with the force of many mules. There are no electronics such as traction control or stability control to step in and wrangle the car into submission. But hey, who wants them, anyway? The question remains: Should you buy a Hellcrate engine for your classic? If money were no object, the easy answer is yes. Have at it so long as you love smoky burnouts and excessive amounts of horsepower. Just make sure you know how to deal with that much power before you stick your right foot in it.   Dodge Challenger Shakedown View 15 Photos 2016 Dodge Shakedown Challenger Concept WeÂ’re going downhill in horsepower with this restomod, but the drivability and ease of driving goes way up. Dodge showed this “Shakedown” concept at SEMA awhile back, and as with most concept cars, getting a chance behind the wheel is a special opportunity.

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.
