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

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in the works

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

In Autoblog's recent First Drive of the 2015 Challenger SRT with the 707-horsepower Hellcat V8 we found its engine to be as brutally powerful as the numbers would suggest, even if it wasn't the best handler. However, the muscle-car-styling just isn't right for some buyers that need four doors and proper rear seats to haul around the family. It appears that Dodge has their backs, though, because the Hellcat is very likely on its way into the Charger in the near future. Imagine the looks on your passengers' faces when you stomp down on the throttle.
According to Road and Track, when Dodge submitted the Hellcat for engine power certification to the Society of Automotive Engineers, the company included the Charger on the paperwork. That showed that the automaker wanted the engine checked out for the sedan, too. R&T reckons the 707-hp Charger would hit the road about a year from now, clearing the Challenger for a year of exclusivity with the powerplant.
When the Charger SRT Hellcat does hit the road, it may carry a very special accolade. Assuming nothing beats it in the meantime, it might be the world's highest horsepower production sedan. Think on that for a second. Even a Mercedes S65 AMG only has 621 horsepower, though a good bit more torque at 738 pound-feet to the Dodge's 650 lb-ft. So while the beastly engine is getting put into other models, where else would you like to see it? The Ram? Grand Cherokee? Let us know in Comments.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
