Fully restored, 1968 Dodge Charger General Lee replica. This is one of the nicest replicas
that you will ever see. The car was purchased in 1997 and restoration was completed in 2006. The car is also
autographed by all the surviving cast members from the show. I was lucky enough to get James Best's autograph on
there, too. The car has been converted to a 1969 Charger just like they used to do on the TV show. The bodywork is
near flawless. Both quarterpanels have been replaced. The trunk floor pans and quarter panel extensions have also
been replaced. The front floor pans have also been replaced. The car is painted using 1975 Corvette Flame Red (Code
C70) just like they used to use on the show, too. The flag, numbers, and "General Lee" text are also all painted
on. No decals here! The tail panel extension was replaced with one form a 1969 Dodge Charger, as was the front
grille. All the side marker lights, on the fenders and quarter panels, have been filled in. They used to do this on
the later episodes of the show, too. When the floor pans were off, the inside of the frame rails were sandblasted
and a rust inhibitor was also applied. Underneath the car is near perfection. The entire under carriage has been
sandblasted, primed, undercoated, painted and clear coated. The engine compartment, and underneath the hood, is
painted semi-gloss black. The entire inside of the cabin and trunk is lined with dyna mat. The trunk houses a
full-sized spare.
The car originally had a 318 motor in it, but this was replaced with a fully rebuilt 440 V-8 motor. The cylinders
were bored .030" over and the compression ratio requires the use of 93 octane. Atop the motor sits an aluminum
Edelbrock intake and a 4 barrel Holley carb. Moroso valve covers sit atop the heads. The transmission is a 3 speed
automatic that was rebuilt, too. All the gas and brake lines are stainless steel. The gas tank is brand new. The
car has manual braking with brake drums on the front and rear. The rear end had a 3.55 Auburn Gear differential
installed in 2014. This is a sure grip differential. The exhaust headers are Hooker headers that have been ceramic
coated inside and out. A 3" Flowmaster dual exhaust completes the exhaust system. The car also has the signature,
12 note dixie horn, with the horns mounted under the hood and the button hidden inside the ash tray. The car rides
on original 14x7 American Racing vector rims. The tires are all BF Goodrich Radial TAs, including the full sized
spare in the trunk. The odometer on the car has stopped working a few years ago. It needs to be repaired or
replaced. The speedometer also reads slightly higher than the actual speed. This is due to the tire size on the car
and this can be fixed by replacing the speedometer gear with a 36 tooth gear.
The interior of the car is astonishing. The front and rear seats, and front and rear lower door panels are from
Legendary Auto interiors in the Dukes of Hazzard tan color. The remaining parts of the interior was custom dyed to
match Legendary's color. The visors have all the cast members' autographs. These include autographs from Catherine
Bach, John Schneider, Tom Wopat, Ben Jones, Rick Hurst, James Best, and Sonny Shroyer. The car also comes with the
correct Radio Shack tear drop antenna and the correct cobra CB radio

Here are the cars Fast 8 characters will drive in Iceland

Tue, Jun 28 2016

The eighth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise will feature some characteristic wheel-to-wheel adventuring, this time on Icelandic ice. As revealed by the F&F production team, here are some of the vehicles that will be seen in the film. What else could Dominic Toretto drive than a Dodge? The previous film showed a Charger fitted for off-road driving, and this time the classic shape has been formed into an ice racer. The muscle car is still recognizable, but the altered wheelbase and fender flares make this something quite different. And as the bullet holes testify, the matte black machine is definitely going to see some action. Letty drives a Local Motors Rally Fighter, which might be the best fit for the ice scenes. The off-road coupe has been modified with a brush bar and some serious roof-mounted lights. Roman will be seen behind the wheel of an orange Lamborghini Murcielago, easily standing out in the frozen wastes. To top it off, there are some tank-like machines: There's a tracked Ripsaw for Tej Parker and an "Ice Ram" for Hobbs, who is played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Both of these look like mean machines, and on the screen they'll probably prove to be the admission ticket's worth.

Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends... you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.
