Here's how it is:

This auction is for a Custom NASCAR Dodge Daytona Charger done in the Resto-Mod style.

The Car will be street-legal.

Anything is possible-

options can certainly be discussed.

The 1969 Dodge Daytona was the First Car to attain 200mph Lap Speed on a Closed-Course.

Dodge built only 503 of these cars so as to meet current NASCAR homologation rules at the time.

Mopar was working on Turbine engines for the street at the time.

Unfortunately,

these programs never converged.

So,

I am building The Car that they should have built.

Obviously,

Bill France could never have handled the Turbine Concept-

he was afraid of losing control to Detroit as it was and quickly killed off the Wing Cars.

This Car starts with a rust-free 1968 318 Charger.

The Nose is metal and trimmed in the NASCAR style.

The Wing is an AUTHENTIC Daytona Wing with matching authentic supports.

They are reinforced as were the original race cars.

The wheels are period-correct NASCAR wheels with Mickey Thompson high-speed street tires.

The doors will be welded shut&filled unless the customer prefers opening doors.

The rear window is done as Cotton Owens did-

it is flat glass.

The important part of the chassis the ultra-rare "2x2 Drop"-

is done as the Teams did then.

The torsion bars are custom-made and the cage&chassis structure are period correct to that era.

THIS IS AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET TO DRIVING A NASCAR RIDE FROM THE GLORY DAYS!

If you want a 426 Hemi(or bigger) that is certainly possible but will be extra.

Jet Turbines are essentially a Jet engine hooked up to a transmission.

Most commonly used in ALL serious helicopters,

they have also been used in numerous other applications,

including boats,ships,trains,trucks,planes,motorcycles,generators,pumps,compressors and....

CARS!

The engine that I have chosen is a Lycoming LTS-101,

the same engine used in Jay Leno's Eco-Jet car.

This one is faster because it is lighter and set to higher RPM's and a taller rear gear ratio.

I was centrally involved with building Jay Leno's Jet Bike

(AKA The Y2K)

please contact me for more information on this if you are interested.

The Lycoming makes more HP and Torque (and turns 9,500rpms on the output shaft!)

than the original race-prepped 426 Hemi's.

It is lighter(243lbs.) and has a Forward/Neutral/Reverse Daytona Marine gearbox.

This motor is multi-fuel and will run Jet A,Kerosene,Diesel,Bio-Diesel,etc.

The control system is very simple and drives like an automatic transmission.

NO radiator or fan!

I can go on to great lengths about the drivetrain and the heritage of this Car but I would prefer to discuss this with serious parties.

I AM SORRY BUT I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE HOW TO BUILD THE 2x2 Drop Chassis.

I will not help build counterfeit cars and pass them off as real.

I build these cars as Resto-Mod street/race cars and they are meant to be driven&raced-

NOT passed off as museum pieces.

There are almost NO NASCAR Wing Cars left.

Right now,

I want to finish and sell this car and produce composite bodies,reproduction aluminum Wings

AND

build a Winston Cup version full-tube chassis of these cars,street-legal,

to be made available with either

Pistons

Turbines.

I will finish this Car,

regardless,

and the price goes up as she is completed.

The motorcycles sold for $185,000-

we built 17 of those.

This is a test-

NOT a distress sale.

Will trade for cash-

otherwise NO TRADES!

The pix show this car under construction,several famous vintage NASCAR Daytonas,

some boats that used this same engine that we built,

the motorcycle,the Turbine Outboard(which is also available)that features the same Jet Turbine engine as the motorcycle

and our Rocket Car.

landspeedrecordrocketcar.com

The steering wheel for this car is almost 100 years old and is a Vintage Bonneville wheel

that started out in one of Henry's original Model T's.

Speaking of which,

The Car comes standard in any color you want...

as long as it is flat black.

Anything else will cost extra.

Personally,

as far as I am concerned,

custom paint is for trailer queens.

This is no trailer queen.

In 1971,

Charlie G. took one of the originals to 243mph at the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea,MI.

NO Turbo,

NO Supercharger,

NO Nitrous.

Just normally aspirated-

carbureted.

That's STILL Fast!

This Car is faster.

McLaren 650S Spider wrecked in multi-vehicle crash in LA

Wed, Nov 2 2016

A multi-vehicle crash in Los Angeles left a $280,000- McLaren 650S Spider mangled and two hospitalized, reports KTLA5. The Los Angeles Police Department suspects street racing caused the incident. The crash occurred just outside of Hale Charter Academy in Woodlawn Hills on Tuesday night. According to eyewitness statements, the 650S Spider was traveling at a high rate of speed in a race against a black Dodge Charger or Challenger before colliding with an Audi (possibly an A6), leaving the Audi heavily damaged. The Dodge fled the scene before police arrived.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Watch the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat verify its 204-mph top speed

Thu, Jan 29 2015

The industry is producing some ridiculously fast four-doors these days, from the Porsche Panamera and Maserati Quattroporte to the Mercedes E63 AMG and BMW M5. But the fastest of them all doesn't cost six figures. It doesn't even come from Europe. It's made right here in North America, by a US automaker. And it starts at under $64k. We're talking about the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, the Pentastar muscle sedan with the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and its 707 horsepower. Dodge claims it's the "quickest, fastest, most powerful [production] sedan ever," and they're not just blowing smoke... or smoking tires. During the final stages of development, engineers from Auburn Hills took a bone-stock, Hellcat-powered Charger out to a seven-mile oval for a top speed run and they filmed the occasion for posterity. The result? 206.9 miles per hour with the wind, 202.2 against it, for a two-way average top speed of 204.55 mph. Chew on that, imports.
