Super Rare and from what I've gathered less than 1000 of these were made making them much rarer than a Lil Red or Warlock. Conversely, the diesel six option cost over $1000 more than the 440 option in 1978. The 440 was $550 and the not quite as powerful H code 243 CID diesel was $1690.
This one runs like a top and all fluids have been freshly serviced. It starts and runs fantastic and had no problem starting all last winter without the block heater ever being plugged in. The transmission was also serviced with a drain pan AND torque convertor drain plug installed and it had no swarf in the pan, it shifts flawlessly and crisply. The 4x4 and differentials are in excellent condition and work well. No silly noises or vibrations anywhere from the drive line. The truck drives on or off road very well, zips right on up to 60 with ease and will effortlessly cruise 70. It gets phenomenal fuel mileage. This truck is geared 3.54 front and rear, works very well with the LoadFlite 727 and relatively high revving diesel. It could pull taller cogs or tires. It has Dana 44 up front, not sure if HD or not and a 9.25 rear with posi. I have lots of the scarce diesel only spare parts for it and also have a very nice green dash with glove box cover to replace the original units. I thought eventually I'd score some door panels yet upon obtaining nice dash pieces, I realized they do not age with the same patina and decided I'd obtain most any color door panels and dye them all at the same time. That didn't happen but that was the plan. I have a huge file on this truck including the original sales agreement and the factory diesel supplement. It cost $11,087 new. I have dealer repair/service orders and many parts receipts. Factory service manual and even original title. You can get in this truck and drive it anywhere. The brake lights aren't working right at this moment and I'll update when I get them working. The windshield wipers need the bushing but the motor and switch works fine. I have a new blower switch which it needs. Some of the tires are better than others and if I were to consider taking it for a long drive, I'd bring a spare or two since it does not have a spare wheel and tire with it at all. I dropped the tank earlier this year, cleaned it although it was spotless, replaced the sock and fuel hoses, added a Caterpillar pre-filter moisture separator and it's good to go. It's lots of fun and plenty of die hard mopar fans have never seen or heard of one. Many got the V8 transplant as that was much easier and cheaper than a turbo upgrade back in the day. Best would be to come take a look and drive but this rare truck would make a great bug out beater, veggie oil burner, or full restoration candidate. It's extremely rare and there is much misinformation about how they came to be. The engine is simple as an anvil, as reliable too with it's gear drive timing, has an injection pump which is a copy of the simple bosch MB unit and is the same unit put in 2.5 ton Fuso Fighters of which millions were made. Engine parts are cheap and easy for this one although it sounds and runs beautifully. I changed the oil in January, it's only done maybe 100 miles and the oil is still as clean as it came out of the cans. I also have a new Borg Warner R2S compound twin turbo unit that could be negotiated on during the sale of this truck and it is perfectly sized for this 4 liter 6 cylinder diesel and it can be reverse engineered to fit so as not to require any additional hole drilling or otherwise changing the original design in a way that cannot be simply unbolted. I hate to let this one go but I have way too many projects and toys while also being in the midst of relocating. Somebody into Dodge trucks needs to give this one a good home and make something fine of it. I do find it interesting when people wait for the last few seconds to make what appears to be a somewhat earnest attempt at sniping. I don't have the box checked to automatically accept offers less than the buy it now price, so good luck with that. |

Subaru Impreza WRX, Dodge Charger police car from 'Baby Driver' are for sale
Mon, Aug 21 2017Fans of " Baby Driver," now is your chance to own some seriously cool bits of movie memorabilia. Allpro Subaru is currently selling two of the cars from the film. The first is one of the red Subaru Impreza WRXs that were used for some of the film's signature stunts, which made the red rally sedan the de facto hero car of the movie. There were a number of stunt cars used to represent the hero car, including a modified WRX and an STI with a WRX wing. This particular one, a 2006 model, is a little more interesting, as it was the one that was converted to rear-drive to make it easier to complete stunts with it. According to the description, it also has a turbocharger from a 2004 STI to make more power, which fits what stunt driver Jeremy Fry told us. The description reveals other interesting tidbits. The car does have a clean title and has 158,000 miles on it. Obviously some of those miles were a bit rough, and the description notes that the stunt driving has led to some cosmetic defects. The AutoCheck vehicle history report reveals more. Apparently this Impreza WRX led a rough life before filming, as it had four mild to moderate crashes reported. It also appears that it will need the Takata airbag replaced. But on the plus side, this car is a unique piece of car and film history, and its rear-drive layout should make it interesting to drive. On top of that, it also has a leather interior that appears to be in good shape. View 5 Photos You'd better have a healthy bank account before trying to buy this WRX. As of writing, the bidding has reached $40,300. If that's too pricey, though, Allpro Subaru has yet another car from the movie. It's a 2011 Dodge Charger police car in Atlanta, Ga. police livery, complete with a V8. It's also pretty thoroughly wrecked, though the description says that it is drivable. Based on the bullet holes in the windshield, the Charger appears to be the one used in the (mild spoiler alert) final showdown between Baby and Buddy. But because this car is much less famous and in far worse shape, it's also much cheaper. Bidding has only reached $3,000 at the time of writing.

2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.
2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon sheds seats and insulation to drop weight
Tue, Jan 31 2017You've probably already heard that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be lighter than the Hellcat Challenger – to tune of more than 200 pounds. What you probably don't know is that the Dodge team did it by dropping most of the seats, along with a few other tricks. The Demon loses 113 pounds by making the front passenger seat with its seatbelt (58 pounds) and back seat (55 pounds including restraints and floor mats) optional, which accounts for a large chunk of the weight loss compared to the Hellcat. The Demon also has unique 18-by-11-inch wheels, which are 16 pounds lighter than the Hellcat's, a manual tilt/telescope steering column instead of the powered one, which loses four pounds, and an 18-pound loss thanks to removing 23 noise, vibration, and harshness parts (the Demon will not be a quiet car, to say the least). Another 20 pounds is lost removing the trunk interior trim and spare tire. Still, the Demon gains 17 pounds thanks to the wide fender flares that accommodate the massive drag radials, which also add 3.5 inches to the car's width. For reference, the lightest Hellcat weighs 4,448 pounds with a manual transmission, and the automatic-equipped car comes in at 4,455 pounds. The Demon will be revealed in April before the New York Auto Show, and Dodge will continue to tease its latest satanic muscle couple weekly until then.
