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.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

2015 Dodge Challenger crash test results slip from last year's model

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released the results of its latest round of crash testing, announcing that the 2015 Dodge Challenger has netted a five-star overall crash rating. Of course, Chrysler won't want us to tell you this, but that NHTSA overall rating is not the whole story here. As The Car Connection so astutely points out, five-star rating aside, the refreshed 2015 Challenger actually performed worse than when it was tested back in 2013. The V6-powered SXT model tested by NHTSA in this latest round of testing was only able to record a four-star rating in its frontal crash test, while it nailed a five-star rating in the side-impact test. The 2013 Challenger managed a five-star rating in the frontal test. Of course, while this rating is a sign of overall good news for Challenger fans, the car, as TCC argues, has yet to be tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It'll be interesting to see if these NHTSA ratings translate to an IIHS Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus. Scroll down for the full press release from FCA. All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger Earns Five-Star Overall Safety Rating From U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2015 Dodge Challenger coupe earns five stars overall, the highest possible score in NHTSA's safety rating program More than 70 safety and security features, including new for 2015 class-exclusive Forward Collision Warning, adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger starts at $26,995 (excluding tax, destination and title) December 18, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Five stars is the highest possible safety rating given by NHTSA. "The new Dodge Challenger coupe further demonstrates our commitment to broaden the proliferation of advanced safety technologies, such as driver-assist features," says Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President-Vehicle Safety and Regulatory, FCA-North America. In its assessment of the new Challenger, NHTSA notes the availability of Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which features forward-facing sensors programmed to detect the potential for certain types of frontal collisions. If detected, the driver is alerted with visual and audible warnings. The 2015 Dodge Challenger is the only car in its segment with such capability.
