1985 Dodge Ram 1500. I am the second owner of this Truck. I bought it on December 11th, 1992. It had a 360 in it. I proceeded to Strip it down to the Frame and install a 500 Horsepower 440 Chrysler Engine, a 727 Torqueflite Transmission (Out of a 1975 Imperial) with a 340 Torque Converter. I wanted a tough Rear End and 4 Wheel Disc Brakes, so I installed a 9" Ford Rear End out of a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV with Disc Brakes. It has a Willwood Brake Porportioning Valve on it. The Center Chunk is out of a 1966 Ford Galaxy with a 3.25 Ring Gear and Pinion and a Detroit Locker out of a NASCAR Late Model Stock Car running at Nashville's Fairgrounds Speedway. The Drive Shaft is a custom piece with a Chrysler Front Yoke and a Ford Rear Yoke. At 177,000 miles, the Engine broke a valve Spring and Retainer and dropped a valve into a piston destroying the engine. I had 1 more good 440 in my Garage that came out of a 1970 Chrysler 300 TNT Package. It has been completely rebuilt with all new parts. Mopar Performance Camshaft "Street Hemi Grind" 480" Lift and 280 degrees duration. A Mopar M1 Dual Plane Intake Manifold. The Carburetor is from a 1971 GTX. It has a Factory Choke in the Intake. Cloyes Tru Roller Timing Chain. Comp Cams Valve Springs, Retainers, and Pushrods. Sealed Power Pistons and Rings, Clevite 77 Engine Bearings. Mopar Performance Oil Pump. Mopar Valve Covers and Air Cleaner. Headman "Motor Home" Headers with a Dual In, Dual Out Flowmaster Muffler and Stainless Exhaust Tips. While I had the Engine Redone, I took the Transmission to Coleman Taylor in Franklin, Tn and had all new Clutches and Seals installed. Shift Kit, Improved Kick Down Lever and a Deep Transmission Pan for more Fluid. The Rear End was fine. I Reinstalled all of this at 77,074 miles. I have changed the oil (With Valvoline Racing Oil with High Zinc) at 81,050 miles and today, it has 81,966 miles on the odometer. So, the Engine and Transmission has 4,892 miles on it. The only road Trip I have made with it since the Fresh Rebuild, I drove it to Chicago about 3 years ago and it ran like a Top! Well, one thing led to another, so I had the Truck completely repainted, Installed new Carpets, Radio Speakers with Alpine , New Door Panels, Power Window Switches and Door Lock Switches. New Headliner. It has a 1989 Seat in it, a '89 Dash Face and a 140mph Custom Speedometer (Built by Corvette Clocks By Roger) I have installed an Autometer Tach and Vacuum Gauge. A Panasonic OP875 CD Player with an Auxilirary Input Jack. It has 1970 Corvette LT1 Outside Rear View Mirrors. Factory Tilt Wheel. Class III Receiver Hitch (That I got from Marvin Panch) I worked with NASCAR Winston Cup Teams from 1973 through 1993. A set of 15X8 American Racing Polished Torque Thrust Wheels with BF Goodrich P275/60R15 Tires. It has a Griffin NASCAR Style Aluminum Radiator. Mopar Performance Electronic Ignition. A Cobra 25 CB Radio mounted in the Roof with a Weatherband. It haas a Chrysler Tri Band Antenna (Made by Hy Gain). I have installed a new 1990 Grille and Taillights. It has a Rear Chrome Step Bumper and Rhino Lining in the bed. The reason I am selling my Truck is that I have had a series of Health problems in the last few years. I had Open Heart Surgery and had 5 By Passes. March 27th, I had been on Dialysis and had a Kidney Transplant. I have gone from having 15 cars and I am now down to 4. This is my last favorite Toy that I will be selling. I have a 1999 Dodge Ram Sport that I will put up for Sale after this Truck sells and I will simply buy myself a newer Dodge Truck from the proceeds of these two Trucks. I really don't feel like tinkering with my Toys like I did when I was younger. I am 60 now and I need to get down to 3 vehicles. My wife's, my truck, and Her 1970 Challenger T/A (Which is not for Sale) but I'll show it to you when you come and pick up your Truck. I took this Truck to the Mopar Nationals in 1995 and entered it into the Bracket Race. There were 165 Vehicles in the 14 second Bracket. I made it to the Quick 16 and Broke out by 2 /100ths of a second. This Truck ran 14.30's in the Quarter mile in 95 degree Weather. It ran 8.90's in the 1/8th mile. It would run high 13's in the Quarter mile and low 8th's in the 1/8th mile in Cool Weather. I have seen it run 6,300 RPM's in High Gear. (Once) that was enough. This Truck will be sold as is, where is with no warranty whatsoever. Now, I want you to inspect this Truck to your Satisfaction and if you feel that I have not been 100% Honest with you about it, you don't have to take it. I do not have to sell it, I am just getting a little more practical at my current age and Health Status. You can contact me with any questions now or after you buy the Truck. I have owned this Truck for 22 years and can pretty much tell you anything you need to know about it. Call me at 615-948-4204 between 8am and 8pm. my name is Stan Hardcastle and I am the Events Director for the Music City Mopar Club in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.

SpeedKore carbon-fiber 1970 Dodge Charger packs a 996-hp Demon engine
Tue, Oct 30 2018SpeedKore Performance does some pretty neat things with carbon fiber. SEMA is always the place to show off new and interesting builds, and SpeedKore has a few new offerings on display. We talked about the lightweight carbon fiber 2018 Dodge Demon late last week, but now that SEMA 2018 is in full swing, we've got a look at something even cooler, an all-carbon, Demon-powered 1970 Dodge Charger "Evolution." SpeedKore Performance is based in Wisconsin and has been churning out SEMA showstoppers for years. In addition to the Demon, take a look at this Shelby GT350R the shop modified a few years back. The Charger Evolution is named so because it further modifies the SpeedKore Charger "Tantrum" that was used in the " Fast and Furious" films. That car used a carbon composite body and was fitted with a 9.0-liter Mercury Racing twin-turbo engine making an absurd 1,650 horsepower. The Evolution might be down on power — only 996 horses thanks to a modified Demon crate engine — but the goal was to create something a little more usable than the Tantrum. Upgrades include a smaller supercharger pulley, larger fuel injectors, a custom cold-air intake, stainless steel headers and a custom exhaust with SLP mufflers. There's also a Dailey Engineering dry sump, upgraded oil cooler, and Saldana radiator. It's also lighter, thanks to even more carbon fiber. SpeedKore had a goal to get the '70 Charger to about 3,200 pounds. To get there, the Evolution employs carbon-fiber bodywork, an aluminum floor, a steel roll cage and a new 2x3-inch steel box frame. SpeedKore's autoclave is large enough to bake a one-piece roof, hood and quarter panels. The bare bodywork has been finished with a clear coat to help prevent fading. The Evolution uses billet aluminum for the door handles, fuel cap and grille, all finished in a bronze-nickel coating to pair with the HRE wheels. In addition to the floor, aluminum was used for the firewall, transmission tunnel and radiator shroud. To slow the Charger down, it uses Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers up front and four-piston calipers in the rear. The suspension uses Penske adjustable coilovers while Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires wrap 19x10-inch front wheels and 20x12-inch rear wheels. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
