This car has undergone a restoration to make sure it is a safe and beautiful collector car. Mechanically it is like new and cosmetically it looks and shines beautifully. This car would do well in any car show and brings compliments everywhere it is driven.

This car spent its life in the dry deserts of Texas and Oklahoma until it was purchased by a collector where it was properly stored indoors and covered.

Rust free desert car with solid floors, doors, hinges, etc.

All body lines are straight. Doors, trunk, and hood line up correctly and close solidly. This is one of the most solid cars I have seen and does not appear or handle like a 50 year old car. It is a dream to drive and always receives compliments!

New brakes work solidly and car stops straight.

Tires have no cracks or leaks.

All glass is clear and crack/chip free.

Every option works.

Driveline:

Numbers Matching 318 “Polysphere” Cubic Inch Engine and Automatic 3-Speed Transmission.

The original 318 cubic inch V-8 Polysphere factory engine starts easy, runs strong, and does not make any abnormal sounds or smoke. These engines are notorious for their strength and longevity and this one is no exception. In truth, it runs very QUIET, idles SMOOTH, and accelerates STRONG…this car is a dream to drive. Brand new correct carburetor. Pertronix hidden electronic ignition. Brand new Energizer 27F battery.

The automatic transmission shifts into and out of gears easily and shifts between gears solidly.

Exhaust system is quiet and solid with chrome tip.

Engine bay is clean and freshly detailed as pictures show...even small items like the battery tray hold down were replaced during restoration!

New Steering components including pump, steering gear, and all linkages such as tie rod ends, center link etc.

New brake including all wheel cylinders, hoses, etc.

New gas tank, sending unit, lines, etc.

Interior:

The instrument panel is 100% functional and original. The gauges were cleaned and the indicator pointers were repainted orange to brighten them up.

Door panels are nice with no cracks or tears as pictures show.

Remote operated rear-view mirror.

Floor Pans are clean and solid as picture shows.

New foil sound deadening underlayment under new carpet as seen in pictures.

Newly upholstered seats with high grade material. This modern upholstery was custom made and feels much softer and wears much longer than typical on-line factory replacements. They are beautiful and look correct while feeling much more luxurious than typically sold by restoration shops.

The trunk is solid as shown in pictures and very clean with correct size spare, original jack, original wood tire cover insert, and new floor mat.

Exterior:

The paint is newer within the last few years and shines beautifully. Original color was blue but this car looks much better in red and color change was done professionally with no overspray. (i.e. door jams painted, door hinges color matched, trunk and hood hardware and hinges masked, trim removed, strike plates masked, etc.)

The convertible top works correctly and opens/closes smoothly with dash mounted switch. The hydraulics are smooth running with no leaks or seepage from their new seals.

The original convertible top rear window is discolored and torn. A new complete top including window, rail pads, staples, instructions,etc. still in the box from “theconvertibletopguys” is provided.

The car sale also includes a correctly fitted, high quality, soft, car cover.

Dodge Charger Pursuit nets quickest lap in police car test

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

We wouldn't advocate trying to outrun the police, no matter what you're driving and no matter what they are. But if you see a Dodge Charger bearing down on you with blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror, you'd better think twice before attempting to flee, because the Charger Pursuit has once again emerged as the fastest police cruiser out there.
In the latest Police Vehicle Evaluation held by the Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway, Dodge says its new Charger Pursuit AWD posted a lap time of 1:33.85. That's quicker than any of the other law enforcement vehicles present, but also makes it the quickest all-wheel-drive cruiser available to law-enforcement officials. That may not make it the quickest of all time, but that honor belongs to the rear-drive Dodge Charger Pursuit, which cuts a fraction of a second off its AWD counterpart's time with a 1:33.70. But in regions where the extra traction could come in handy, that's as negligible a difference as we've ever seen.
Of course, the annual PVE sessions held by the Michigan State Police take in to account a wide variety of performance tests, including top speed, acceleration, braking, handling, fuel economy and ergonomics. The MSP has yet to reveal its full findings from its 2014 model year tests, but we'll be sure to bring them to you when they are published.

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
Driving Notes

Redonkulous Dodge Charger is ridin' high

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

We're a bit hazy on the styling of this particular donk, which was recently spotted hashing about by HotCarsTV at the Southern Heritage Classic Car show in Memphis. Sporting a dope paint job and some wheels that make a blunt statement about what the driver enjoys, it's a unique take on the popular customizing trend.
The owner may be kiefing it real with the theme on this Dodge Charger, but when your car looks like this, it's easy to weed out from the crowd. Chronic police stops must also make it a pain to drive on a regular basis, though. Even with the big wheels, we bet the driver still finds time to light 'em up. Take a look down below for a brief video of this outrageous mean green machine on the road.
