Year:1968
Mileage:2500

This is a 68 Charger RT tribute, it is not an original RT car. It was originally a red 383 automatic car. It currently has a 440 stroked to 500CI putting out 590HP on pump gas. The engine has had extensive work (crank,pistons,cam,heads). Compression is right at 10.9:1, hydraulic roller lifters, 850 CFM Proform carb with mechanical secondaries. I have installed an MSD ignition with a 2 step (for future trans brake) and billet distributor. The tranny is a race built 727 Manual valve body with a Cheetah shifter. All front bushings are new. The rear end was mini tubbed (professionally done looks excellent), Art Morrison back half with ladder bar setup, 8 3/4 rear end with 391 Suregrip. Front disc brakes (power), bucket seats, new custom upholstery, new window cranks, new mirrors, new LED tail lights, new side markers, new HID headlights (w/ballast), new engine harness, custom front spoiler, working vacuum hide away headlights, new front and rear bumpers, new stock valve covers, new 10MM spark plug wires, new 17" Magnum wheels with new rubber (305 Mickey Thompson's in the rear), new hood blinker lights, aluminum radiator, trans cooler, new air filter, TTI headers, gas tank sump, 3 inch turn down exhaust w/single chamber Flowmaster mufflers, new ignition switch.
The paint is about 3 years old. It is a Black metallic and shows very well. It has flat back bumble stripes. The car was built to look mostly stock but is anything but. I have not taken it to the track but I have taken many other cars and this car will run high to mid 6's on pump gas driving it to the track. Although with a 391 gear and an 850 carb it drinks like a fish. Currently.....today. The dash is out, I am refacing the gauges, replacing the ignition switch. I am confident the car will be completed this weekend, long before the auction concludes. This car sounds pretty wicked, and runs like a monster, as a 1968 Charger should. I am sure I have left some things out but you have a pretty good description of the car. All the things listed as new were done within the last 4 months. The engine was professionally built and tuned. I have been working on this Charger for about 6 months and here is what I have done and what needs to be done: |

Jay Leno drives a 1970 Dodge Charger with 1,650 horsepower
Tue, Feb 23 2016When Jay Leno says a vehicle might have too much horsepower, he's got our attention piqued. That's exactly what he thinks about the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum from Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance. While it still looks like a classic muscle car, the front end now features a carbon fiber hood and fenders. Underneath the lightweight parts, there's a twin-turbo, 9.0-liter Mercury Marine offshore boat racing engine with an astonishing 1,650 horsepower, or an only slightly less asinine 1,350 hp on pump gas. Jay is very mechanically intrigued by the Charger at the beginning of this video, and puts it on the lift to take a look at the underside. The engine plumbing is a thing of beauty, and the mill packs a massive radiator and intercooler to keep things running cool. Leno's drive in the Tantrum is especially interesting. The beastly engine is difficult to control, and anything above half throttle in most gears can spin the rear tires. The significant turbo lag also makes the power unpredictable. When Jay finally finds a straight piece of road, he puts the hammer down and rockets into the distance. And, of course, you know Jay's not going to end the video without some suitably smoking tires.

Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013To 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.
