Up for sale is a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport custom. It has the more desirable "71 front end of a Demon and a Demon interior. I has been in the Hot Rod Power Tour and has a strong engine that does not smoke at all, Offenhauser intake, Edlebrock carb, small cam around 268 and 15/8 headers. Scoop looks original. It has a rebuilt trans with a new torque converter. I spent several years having all the wiring restored so that all the factory gauges work, lights, signals, etc. IT HAS A WORKING AND CORRECT GAS GAUGE! Don't see that often. Passes inspection no problem. Replumbed exhaust and new mufflers. I recently replaced the steering column to a floor shift model and put the original steering wheel back in. The shifter is a ratchet Hurst model. This is a non a/c car and the heater core is bypassed. The paint buffs out to a shine but there are scratches and blemishes. An extensive and expensive and documented rebuilding of the front end was done several years ago. I have extensive parts receipts and all repair receipts since I have owned the car and can be provided to look at. The 1974 Texas plates do not go with the car. The drivers seat shows upholstery wear along with the bottom of the drivers door panel. I will try to put it on the lift and upload some pictures of underneath this weekend. Please send pic requests. I will tweak the ad more this weekend as well.

Included with the car is;

The ACC carpet kit black in color that is for this car. Never opened.

A set of four POWDERCOATED Dodge wheels never installed with center caps

A replacement metal dash. I was going to restore the radio to a two knob as original and it was easier for me than re-welding the din radio cutout.

Dodge Mopar valve covers which will most likely be installed this weekend.

Better examples of the gauge cluster trim and glove box I planned to install with the new dash.

Flywheel inspection plate

Tach and Sunpro gauges removed when I bought the car

Wiper seal rebuild kit

New dashpad cover

Extra 1972 Dodge Y steering wheel and rally race steering wheel it came with when I bought the car.

This car has had extensive mechanical and electrical repairs to make ready for paint which was my next step. I recently ended up with two more project cars one of which my daughter wants to put together daddy daughter style. This car would not be finished for two to three more years and I do not want it to sit that long. I would not say it is a project because most of it has already been done. It is always a head turner and popular in all of the show and shines. Please contact me through Ebay for more questions or phone contact for those that have more in depth questions. I would like to answer any and all questions so not to waste either of our time. No trades. Cash only. Car up for sale locally and reserve right to terminate auction. Do not need help selling vehicle and no solicitation of other offers. Pick up locally.

2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.
