1969 Dodge Charger Daytona clone. 440, 727 automatic with power steering, 4 wheel power disc brakes and sure grip 8
3/4 rear end. Every effort has been made to make this car a mirror image replica of the ultra rare 1969 Dodge
Charger Daytona. You would have to be a virtual Daytona expert to verify you are not looking at the real deal. The
restoration took years of research and collecting difficult to find parts as well as a huge time commitment of
labor to get the details just right. This Daytona was restored to appear very close to the way it would have left
the factory with the exception of a few subtle mechanical modifications to improve reliability, drivability and
performance over an original. This car has an all new front to back modern DOT 5 four wheel power disc brake
system including all the pads, rotors, calipers, brackets, shields, hoses, lines, master cylinder, booster as well
as the parking brake cables front and rear wheel bearings and seals. Correct 1969 Daytona engine K frame and
rebuilt front suspension with factory sway bar and new shocks. The rear end is a bulletproof 8 3/4 sure-grip 3:23
posi track with R/T leafs, new air adjustable shocks, new pinion seal as well as the correct green wheel bearings
pressed on the axels for the rear disc conversion. The car has a 26" radiator support, a new Direct fit three row
Aluminum radiator with stamped tanks and thermo switch controlled dual electric fans mounted in an an aluminum
shroud. Mild pro built 440 engine and 727 TorqueFlite Automatic transmission. Correct original 1969 440 Magnum Air
cleaner, exhaust manifolds, valve covers, water pump housing, accessory brackets and pulleys. All belts, hoses and
clamps, spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires, power steering hoses and lines, alternator, starter, water pump, complete
engine wire harness and transmission cooler lines are new as well. New fuel system front to back including the
carburetor with electronic choke, filter, pump, all lines, hoses, clamps, sending unit, fuel tank straps, tank mat,
filler tube seal and polished stainless steel fuel tank. The exhaust system is a new reproduction with all the
correct dimples and bends to mimic the factory system and correct rectangular polished stainless steel R/T exhaust
tips. It sounds perfect, not loud but you can hear the cam. The beautiful 1969 interior has been restored with the
correct materials by Legendary Auto Interiors of New York. The rock solid body is an original Charger 500 from
Texas and still retains its original numbers matching fender tag, dash tag, trunk lip and core support numbers with
metal so solid clean you can read the factory number stampings on the bottoms of the frame rails. All gaps, lines
and fitment are perfect and measurements were taken under close inspection of original untouched Daytona's. The
body is laser straight and the paint is show quality Spies Hecker clear coat. Lots of effort went into refinishing
the rock solid undercarriage in the correct colors and finishes with high end materials, the bottom is just as nice
as the top.

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
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.
