This Charger is an R/T clone car, originally a 318.  The car was brought here from New Mexico and sat in a warehouse for many years until I bought it 2 yrs ago.  The car had exceptionally little rust, but was hit in a couple places requiring the passenger side quarter to be replaced with a new AMD piece.  The left front fender was replaced with an original NOS fender as well as an NOS lower front valence.  It also appears to have had some quarter panel work done early on in it's life on the drivers side, probably from a fender bender.  


The entire car was sandblasted except outer body panels which were taken down to steel.  Everything was professionally repaired and refinished using quality products.  The car was painted professionally in a downdraft booth, and looks very nice.  This car is not a trailer queen, but a very very nice car you can actually drive and enjoy.  The chrome trim on the car was all excellent due to the western climate so it was cleaned up and retained.  The stainless trim was all hand polished on a professional buffing system.  The grill is near perfect, but I did put new outer trim on it due to the anodizing fading.  The bumpers are new AMD.  I do have new front bumperettes, which go with the car.  I just thought it looked cleaner without it.  

The drivetrain is out of an original 69 Charger 383 HP and runs and drives super.  It is all original and correct down to the carb, distributor, exhaust manifolds, etc.. It has a brand new radiator which looks stock but is not original.  Even though the air cleaner pie plate says 440 Magnum it is indeed a 383 Magnum.  I did not do a front end suspension kit on this car because it didn't need it, but it has been aligned and drives nice.  New fuel tank, fuel pump, water pump, dual exhaust, shocks, etc.

The interior is very nice with the unusual buddy seat in between the buckets vs the more commonly seen counsel.  The radio does not work and the radio plate really should be replaced, it is the only real defect on the interior.  I didn't spend the money because 90% of people install an aftermarket stereo anyway.  The carpet, headliner, rear package tray, drivers front armrest, seat foam and covers are new.  Everything else is OEM. Even though the lower dash pad has vents for A/C it is an original non A/C car which is very unusual coming from New Mexico.  The dash pads are out of another Charger and are perfect.   New windshield and gasket.  Remainder of glass is decent.  

In summary I would like to say that this Charger is a super nice car overall and I don't think anyone would be disappointed with it.  I am a detail freak and have sold a fair number of old Mopars that I have restored to many happy people who still own them today.  Bid with confidence.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Dodge Demon lightweight by SpeedKore Performance comes to SEMA

Fri, Oct 27 2017

We already know that the Dodge Demon is crazy fast. We experienced that firsthand. But its more than ample amounts of built-in speed doesn't mean that owners won't be tinkering with it to make it faster. But if you don't want to add more power (or even if you do), you can always make the car lighter. That's what SpeedKore Performance Group has done, and it will bring its lightweight carbon fiber Dodge Challenger SRT Demon to the SEMA show in Las Vegas, where it will be introduced by none other than rock legend Sammy Hagar. Last year, SpeedKore brought its carbon fiber-bodied Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat to SEMA, and now it has applied the same treatment to the 840-horsepower Demon. The body panels and spoilers will be manufactured using SpeedKore's autoclave in Grafton, Wisconsin. SpeedKore will also be one of many companies bringing a modified Ford Mustang to SEMA. A carbon-bodied Ford Shelby GT350R by SpeedKore was recently featured on "Jay Leno's Garage." Last year, Leno also drove SpeedKore's 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum, which features a carbon fiber front end and a 1,650-horsepower Mercury Marine engine.
