Front passenger seat correct but different material. Motor locked due to main bearing failure, probably due to some idiot forgetting the oil."

1978 Dodge Magnum GT, only 681 GT cars were produced in 1978.  This body style car was briefly used for NASCAR.  The body of this car is in excellent overall condition.  The only rust is some very small bubbles on lower right quarter panel, see pictures.  All floors are clean and have no rot.  This car has T-tops, hideaway headlights, a 400 motor, automatic transmission, and only 57,393 miles.  Appears to be original mileage judging by seats and brake petal.  Also, doors, hood, and trunk all open and close like new.  I purchased this car at an auction.  The motor appears to be rebuilt and there are lots of new parts under the hood.  However, the motor is locked due to main bearing failure.  Some idiot may have forgot to put oil in after the oil change.  Lower end of motor should be rebuildable.  I do have a 1978 440 out of a motor home with low mileage that can be purchased separately for $600.  I don't know the history of this car, just bought it to put on Ebay so some Dodge lover can put it back on the road.  The front passenger seat is correct but has different material than the rest of the seats, otherwise interior looks good.  I have broken down the VIN and fender tags.

Stormtrooper Dodge Charger Episode II: Attack of the Scones

Fri, Dec 18 2015

We spent a day with a Dodge Charger that looks like a Stormtrooper helmet and made a few videos. This one features a bewildered Stormtrooper in the Starbucks drive-thru.

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.

The Dodge Demon's massive drag tires are just barely street legal

Thu, Jan 26 2017

Despite the gaffe that was the Vin Dieselgate leak (no, not that one), Dodge and SRT are soldiering on with the twelve-part Dodge Demon rollout in the lead up to the car's reveal at the New York Auto Show. The Vin Diesel video showed what is almost assuredly the car's front, but now we get an official view of the Demon's rear in this week's video, "Wide Body." Along with the new view, Dodge shows off a cryptic license plate (Michigan #2576@35) and details on the Demon's tantalizing wheel and tire combo. That wheel and tire combo, meant to fill out the Demon's new wide wheel arches, is frankly impressive. Lightweight 18- by 11-inch wheels are wrapped in special Demon branded Nitto NT05R tires measuring an astounding 315/40R18 at all four corners. Not only does that trump the old Camaro Z/28's 305 section tires, it makes the Demon the first production car to come equipped from the factory with drag radials, claims Dodge. Presumably, the goal with the Demon is to provide enough power and grip to rotate the Earth underneath the car rather than propelling the car itself down a dragstrip. Beyond that, few other details were revealed. Dodge provided some vague information about how the "wide-body is laser clearanced, and the entire chassis is e-coated for durability before final assembly," but doesn't actually explain what that really means. We do know now that the flared fenders add 3.5 inches to the Demon's overall width. Overall, the car looks mean and purposeful, especially wrapped in just barely street-legal rubber.
