NOW.....for the ultra-cool retro additions....to pay tribute to the cool aspects of the '71 Cuda, I have added: Shaker Hood System - fully functional w/HemiCuda emblems, 71-Cuda style Grille assembly painted body-color, custom finishes @ grille surround, Reproduction 71 Cuda Roadlamps w/dedicated switch, Appearance Hood Pins, Appearance 'fish gill' Fender vents, original 70's Mopar fender-mounted turn signals, custom short-throw Pistol Grip shifter with simulated wood inserts, custom-finish woodgrain Console top, custom-finish woodgrain instrument bezel, custom 70's Cuda-style gauges showing all necessary EVIC stats & 180mph speedometer but with the Cuda-style background on the gauges, custom yellow piping and steering wheel emblem, custom Cuda dash emblem, custom-designed 'Billboard' graphic with engine specification & custom YellowJacket logo paying homage to both eras, Chrysler pentastar emblem on lower fender, painted rocker panels, reproduction 70's Mopar chrome rocker mouldings, custom fuel cap emblem, 'Go-Wing'-style spoiler, original 71 Cuda taillights wired in fully functional including reverse lights, custom tailpanel with original Cuda tailpanel emblem, and finally....custom-built (and very costly) Polished racing wheels -18" fronts & 20" rears with custom-lettered Dunlop Sport Maxx tires with OEM TPMS sensors installed. Style-wise - this 'tribute' came out better than anticipated. Although not a professional/corporate build - I can guarantee you can still take it to car shows and walk away with trophies. I purchased this car in Palm Beach,FL and drove her back to OH - and it still smells new! This is a personal-build, not done by a full-fab shop nor does it come as a 'kit', so please refrain from asking where I got the kit....or parts for that matter. This is my brain-child and it is a just plain beautiful, menacing, unique, extreme rubberneck worthy bad-*ss vehicle. It is the best of both worlds - all the performance and creature comforts of the new with all the cool retro aspects of the iconic 70's Cuda. Dodge did the Challenger very well, but let's not forget the Cuda - this car will never be an actual Cuda and that it is why it is labeled as a tribute. I did de-badge the car of all Dodge and 'ramhead' emblems and wanted to present it as an 'SRT'-type brand car so there wouldn't be a long drawn-out debate of a Dodge cant be a Cuda and a Cuda has to be Plymouth, etc etc. So, all the nay-sayers and purists can also hold their distain - I know it's a Dodge Challenger and will always be titled as such. I love the Dodge Challenger, I love the Special editions including the YellowJacket, but I also love the Cuda concept added. If this bothers you - I don't need schooling on why it's not a Plymouth, or what isnt correct about it. I believe this is a pretty darn good nod to the Cuda, that is all..... The paint is in great condition, body straight - no dings/dents - there was one ding on the front bumper corner that was repaired. Interior is in showroom condition, no wear and as I said - still smells new! The custom work didn't come with molds to make necessary parts nor did it come with fabrication instructions - there is no kit, expect some imperfections but none excessive or none that affect the overall cool appearance. Car runs incredible, shifts perfect, sounds killer. Everything works - even the custom options. DO NOT miss out on this opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind - yes, there are some conversions out there (every one of them I've seen are only 5.7 R/T Hemi conversions...BUT, this is an SRT....and a 392 SRT....and a special edition to boot!!), but I spent alot of time, sweat equity and of course money putting this together. Good Luck! Will work with transporters to deliver to your door, and would be happy to work with exporters for International buyers. This is an As-Is sale and it is a used car so there may be imperfections - any questions, please ask. Serious buyers will have funds ready, so payment timelines will be adhered to. Deposit is non-refundable - so please be prepared to complete the purchase.

Jay Leno drives a 1970 Dodge Charger with 1,650 horsepower
Tue, Feb 23 2016When Jay Leno says a vehicle might have too much horsepower, he's got our attention piqued. That's exactly what he thinks about the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum from Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance. While it still looks like a classic muscle car, the front end now features a carbon fiber hood and fenders. Underneath the lightweight parts, there's a twin-turbo, 9.0-liter Mercury Marine offshore boat racing engine with an astonishing 1,650 horsepower, or an only slightly less asinine 1,350 hp on pump gas. Jay is very mechanically intrigued by the Charger at the beginning of this video, and puts it on the lift to take a look at the underside. The engine plumbing is a thing of beauty, and the mill packs a massive radiator and intercooler to keep things running cool. Leno's drive in the Tantrum is especially interesting. The beastly engine is difficult to control, and anything above half throttle in most gears can spin the rear tires. The significant turbo lag also makes the power unpredictable. When Jay finally finds a straight piece of road, he puts the hammer down and rockets into the distance. And, of course, you know Jay's not going to end the video without some suitably smoking tires.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units
Tue, Dec 20 2016It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.
