1968 Dodge Charger R/t on 2040-cars
Bensenville, Illinois, United States
|
I just completed my 1970 charger and due to an upcoming surgery I have to sell my 1968 R/T charger project. I purchased the car about 6 months ago completely disassembled and primed as indicated in the pictures. I began the restoration process and painted the underside, engine compartment, trunk and undercoated the floor plans. I installed the following new parts: upper and lower control arms, steering box, steering components, SSB disc brake kit on the front, booster, wiper motor, front shocks, brake lines, rear end with new axels, , posi center section, SSB disc brake kit on the rear, gas tank, sending unit, leaf springs, fuel line, heater blower unit, emergency brake cables and pedals. Included in the sale are the following new parts: dash wire harness, rear light harness, engine compartment harness, Rebuilt gauge cluster, radiator, heater duct kit, clutch plate, drip rails, wheel well chrome, clutch hardware, dash pad (black), rear shocks, 4 speed trans ( previous owner said it was rebuilt), front valance. Included are the following parts that will need to be refurbished: 3 doors, 2 trunk lids, hood, rear lights, grill (no cracks), all glass (used), drive shaft, 2 fenders, bucket seats, rear seats, steering column, exterior chrome, boxes of misc parts/hardware, dash, dash padded panels (green), window hardware. Other misc parts.
There is no engine with this car and no bumpers.
This is an R/T car as the title indicates, however, it does not have any of the body tags. The previous owner modified the floor for a manual transmission and the firewall to be a non A/C car. Rear quarters were replaced by the previous owner and some body work is still needed. Most of the costly work has been completed and is an excellent start . |

Dodge performance trio thrashed on Roadkill
Tue, Apr 14 2015Of all the shows that Motor Trend does, Roadkill is probably the last one we'd pick to evaluate the latest performance automobiles. That's not a slight against David Freiburger or Mike Finnegan, who host the show: they're certified gear-heads and the go-to guys when it comes to hot rods, rat rods and anything grungier than it is shiny. But as exemplary as they are of Detroit muscle, the Charger Hellcat, Challenger Hellcat and Viper are also shiny new pieces of metal. Still, since it will now be sponsoring the show, someone at Dodge apparently thought it would be a good idea to hand Freiburger and Finnegan the keys to the company's top performance models. So to ring the best out of them, they solicited help from some of their colleagues at MT, gained access to a closed-down air strip, devised as many ways as they could to destroy the tires, and proceeded to set about doing exactly that. Watch the grin-inducing mayhem unfold in the half-hour clip above. Related Video:
2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The 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.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
