1973 Dodge Charger- Race Prepared! on 2040-cars
Cary, North Carolina, United States
|
This 1973 Dodge Charger has been in our family since around 1991 when I purchased it near downtown
Cary from a college student. At the time it had its original 400cid B block engine and A-727 Automatic with a stock 3 speed slap-stick shifter. Over the last 23 years, this car has been being transformed into a nearly complete race-prepared Stock Car with the intention of entering it into the SCCA SP2 Racing Class. Around 1997, we replaced the engine with one procured and built by Herb McCandless Racing out of Graham, NC. The engine block casting is a ‘First Run- Sixth Casting’ of the original 440cid Six Pack blocks that were only made for 2 1/2 years. These numbers are verifiable on the engine block boss stamp. In 2007, the car went through its second wave of heavy modifications which are detailed below.The vehicle has been modified to include a race-ready 5 speed transmission and many other improvements: • ENGINE: o Rebuilt personally by Dennis Shaw of Dennis Shaw Race Sports in Raleigh, NC o Compression ratio reduced from 10.14:1 to 9.96:1 (Full engine specs below) o All reciprocating parts have been Calico-coated by Calico Coatings in Morrisville, NC o All components MagnaFluxed twice o Fully balanced including dampener, flywheel and cam. Ported and polished intake and exhaust. Cast Iron Heads milled w/ hardened valve seats. o Doug Thorley Headers o Milodon #31580 Road Racing Oil Pan w/ Pickup# MIL-18328 o Road tested by Dennis Shaw after completion • COOLING / FUEL / EXHAUST / IGNITION o Edelbrock High Rise Intake and 4 bbl Carb o Griffin aluminum racing quality radiator and overflow o MSD Primary and Secondary ignition with heat-shielded plug wires o 3” Jet Hot Exhaust from Collectors to tailpipe o Flowmaster Mufflers o Will perform well on 93 Octane fuel; for full performance, use 108 Octane racing fuel. • TRANSMISSION AND DRIVELINE (Keisler Engineering) o Keisler 5 speed Aluminum Race transmission (#TRM-E4617A rated at 650HP / 650ft lb) o Keisler install kit including Aluminum / Titanium Bell housing, all wiring and cables, sheet metal components for AT / MT conversion, Pedal Kit o Billet Aluminum Flywheel o DSM Custom Driveshaft. 1200 ft lb rated with premium U-joints and slip yoke. Balance Certified o Stage-3 racing clutch (SDK043) and hydraulics kit o Tremec Shifter w/ Hurst T Handle (TKO-600) o Dana 9 3/4 rear end with final drive ratio of 3.55:1 • CHASSIS / SUSPENSION / STEERING o Energy Suspension Polyurethane bushings including Upper / Lower Control arms, Front / Rear Sway Bars, Front Stabilizer rods and Body Mounts o Energy Suspension Tie Rod Ends o Adjustable Upper Control Arms (not installed, but available) o FirmFeel Steering Gear • TIRES / WHEELS / BRAKES o Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T Tires (28 x 10) o American Racing 15” Wheels o All new braking components, Front and Rear, OE quality or better • INTERIOR / INSTRUMENTATION / BODY o Autometer Racing Tach, Shift Light, and Oil Pressure Gauge o Sparco Racing Drivers Seat, Regular front Bucket passenger o Interior of car has been stripped to bare sheet metal in preparation for SCCA SP2 Race readiness o Fire Extinguisher mounted behind center console o The car is not painted. It has primer-gray paint on top of its current black paint which believe was originally red. The primer paint does have some mildew on it due to storage, and this is where the project has been left as we were trying to get the car fully Race-ready before the paint and related body work o Body sheet metal is in overall good condition and will require only minor bodywork to prep it for a good paint job o Car is street-legal with functioning lights, wipers, horn, and tire tread Since 1992, about $26,000 has been spent on this car, yet the car has not been driven on a daily or recreational basis since then, other than for road testing. We are asking for $18,000 because of the rare engine block, 5 speed transmission and accessories, chassis components, and other components that will serve the next owner very well going forward with the project. |

Stellantis and LG launch joint venture for North American battery plant
Mon, Oct 18 2021Stellantis has struck a preliminary deal with battery maker LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America, as the world's No. 4 automaker rolls out its 30 billion euro ($35 billion) electrification plan. Global automakers are investing billions of euros to accelerate a transition to low-emission mobility and prepare for a progressive phase-out of internal combustion engines. Stellantis and LGES's joint venture will produce battery cells and modules at a new facility with an annual capacity of 40 gigawatt hours (GWh), the two firms said on Monday. No financial details of the deal were provided. The plant is scheduled to start production by the first quarter of 2024, with groundbreaking expected in the second quarter of 2022, the companies said in their statement. Its location is under review and will be announced later. Stellantis, formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has said it wants to secure more than 130 GWh of global battery capacity by 2025 and more than 260 GWh by 2030. The batteries produced under the deal will supply Stellantis' U.S., Canadian and Mexican assembly plants for installation in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, supporting its goal of e-vehicles making up more than 40% of its U.S. sales by 2030. The company, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Opel and U.S. best-sellers Jeep and Ram, earlier this year announced it would invest more than 30 billion euros through 2025 on electrifying its vehicle lineup. Stellantis has said it would build three battery plants in Europe and two in North America, including at least one in the United States. Intesa Sanpaolo analyst Monica Bosio said the deal was positive, and a further step ahead in Stellantis' electrification process. It comes weeks after Stellantis and its partner TotalEnergies agreed to open up their battery cell joint venture ACC to Daimler, to expand their European sourcing of battery cells. Stellantis is also targeting more than 70% of sales in Europe to be of low-emission vehicles by 2030, and aims to make the total cost of owning an EV equal to that of a gasoline-powered model by 2026.

New Barracuda, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk coming soon
Wed, Aug 26 2015As we write this, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a major dealership event in sunny Las Vegas. New vehicles are being announced, redesigned offerings are being teased, and promises are being made to the sprawling company's dealer body. And, as all these announcements are meant to be tip-top secret, they're leaking out left, right, and center. Naturally. FCA is telling its dealers all of the vehicles shown at the Vegas gala will be in showrooms within 12 to 24 months, and that the product offensive will include at least 30 new or significantly refreshed models. Some of those we've known about since FCA boss Sergio Marchionne unveiled his highly ambitious five-year plan in May 2014, while we're hearing about others for the very first time. We've reached out to our sources within FCA, and will update this post as we learn more. It should be noted that while we've tried to rely on concrete sources or corroborations from multiple sources, some of the news here comes from people claiming to have been in attendance and posting in forums like Allpar and Jalopnik's Opposite Lock. Unless corroborated by a mainstream source or confirmed by our own sources within FCA, we're listing each item that comes from a forum. Have those grains of salt at the ready. Chrysler Dodge Durango-sized SUV with stow-and-go was shown. A poster on Allpar Forums claims it had a Durango's interior. New Aspen? Town and Country PHEV confirmed (again). A plug-in minivan was originally announced as part of five-year plan. No news on 200 or 300. Dodge The redesigned Charger will use the Alfa Romeo Giulia's rear-drive platform and, according Automotive News, draw inspiration from 1999's Charger concept car. We're wagering the 24-month time frame specified to dealers will move the new sedan's arrival up from 2018 to mid-2017. Jalopnik's Opposite Lock claims two new Challenger models are coming. Challenger ADR (American Drag Racer) and T/A. ADR should appeal to bracket racers and is more powerful than the SRT Hellcat, while T/A is for track rats, just like Viper T/A. Automotive News claims the legendary Barracuda nameplate will be revived as a Dodge. The Barracuda will be smaller than Challenger, offered as both a coupe and a convertible. Allpar claims it will feature modern styling. A Dodge Durango SRT was announced with 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and rear-drive. Sources within FCA confirmed its arrival with Autoblog. Apparently, dealers were shown an example in B5 Blue.
