I've owned this car since 1994, It's originally a South Carolina car and never seen any winters, there is no rust anywhere. It was originally a 383 4 barrel car which I have put a built 440 in it's place with only about 5,000 miles on the engine since the build. The engine starts with a 71 block and was bored 30 over using plates that simulate the heads being torqued down, stock rods with forged aluminum TRW 6 pack pistons with valve reliefs, and a forged crank, 1/2" oil pickup tube and drilled block to the oil pump 1/2" 906 heads with oversize manley severe duty 2.14/1.81 stainless steel valves. 3 angle valve job. Crower dual pattern camshaft 292 - 310 duration 537 - 523 lift. 10.20:1 compression ratio. Stock rockers, shafts, pushrods. This engine was professionally built and blueprinted and has a Mopar M1 single plane intake with a Holley 750 double pumper carb equipped with a proform main body that eliminates the choke tower and larger main jets. The oil pan is a Moroso chrome 7 1/2 quart. There is a Be Cool aluminum radiator with an electric fan for engine cooling. The transmission was built at the same time as the engine with racing/street use in mind to compliment the semi radical engine. The transmission was completely rebuilt and has a reverse manual shift valve body and a Mopar deep pan. Then a Turbo Action 10" converter was installed. There is a remote transmission cooler mounted under the radiator to keep it cool. The rear end is an 8 3/4" with a 355 sure grip/posi 489 case. Mopar Super Stock leaf springs with custom built front spring hangers which allowed me to move the axle back 1" for the 28" tires with no clearance issues. I then purchased a Mancini racing driveshaft fully balanced 1" longer than stock to compensate the custom front spring hangers. It also has bolt in Mopar frame connectors and Mopar/MSD 6AL ignition with rev limiter. Holley red electric fuel pump located near the fuel tank which helps feed the Carter mechanical 8 psi pump on the engine. The tires are Mickey Thompson all around sportsman pro rear sportsman fronts. 28x12.5-15 rears on centerline polished auto drag rims 15x10 rear. Jet Coated headers with 3" flowmaster dual exhaust this car really shakes and rumbles the ground you can feel it running in your chest, and very quick. Next a line loc was added to heat the tires for drag strip use. Battery is located in the trunk. The car was professionally and flawlessly painted in 1999 still looks and is flawless this car is perfectly straight no waves or ripples whatsoever and very deep paint. The color is Porsche Red. Both bumpers have been re Chromed and the trunk lid chrome has been replaced along with the quarter end pieces and front fender ends which include the signals. All rubber pieces, door gaskets and window felts were replaced. The place that painted it is the best in the area and is known for their perfect paint jobs. They were the former Custom Body Shop here in Utica, N.Y. now it's named CARS Collision. They are also Mopar fanatics. The seats I've changed to race style in front, and re carpeted the interior and installed a custom instrument panel with all AutoMeter gauges throughout. Also added a CD player and removed the heater box and dash ducts for weight savings, also because I never use or planned to use the car in any inclement weather. This car has never seen rain since the paint job was done in 1999. I do still have the heater box and clove compartment liner saved in case I ever wanted to put it back in. I made the aluminum panel attached to the firewall to hide the heater motor hole along with the ac/heater hoses holes. This car was equipped with ac originally, and I saved the condenser along with the lines. This car was also a vinyl top car originally which the body shop welded the holes where the moldings go during the paint job, I like this style charger without the vinyl tops, my opinion. This car runs perfectly and is turn key, you get in & go. Ive set this car up for pro street type of use, you can go to the drag strip or just cruise the streets, it offers a great ride. I'm only selling due to having lost interest in the hobby and can use the money in other ways. This car looks so nice it could win best paint at a show because the paint is phenomenal, along with the sound it really gets alot of attention. I can email more pics by request. I may consider a few trades and must be in mint condition Kawasaki ZX14, Kawasaki Concours 14, Harley streetglides, or a Boss Hoss partial trade, not interested in any restored classics, rather have newer models.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each. You can check out Consumer Reports entire reliability roundup, even without a subscription, here.
Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
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.
