1968 Dodge Coronet. Started life as a fleet car, 225 slant 6 with a 3 speed on the column. Manual steering and brakes. Radio delete. I still have the original motor and trans (engine seized). The car still has the clutch pedal in it. This car had been sitting for at least 20 years before I got it. I always wanted a post 68 Coronet, but I have other projects now so life must move on.

Since I have done so much to this car, I will probably forget somethings but I will do my best. I started by pulling the /6 and K-member out. Replace K-member with V8. All new front end (upper and lower control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rods, pitman, idler, strut rod bushings. Drums turned, new shoes, wheel cylinders, rubber lines, hardware and adjusters. Grease it all, back together. New master cylinder. 8.75 rear, 3.23 sure-grip, new axle seals, new wheel cylinders, shoes, drums turned, hardware and adjusters. All 4 new shocks. New gas tank and sender (sender does not read the most accurate, but gauge does work) New 3/8ths line from tank to pump. New aluminium radiator, water pump, trans cooler. All new drive line with big 1350 solid Spicer u-joints. New steering column. I think that about covers it for chassis.

1974 cast crank 440 out of a motor home. No idea on mileage. The motor was rebuilt at some time, guessing not long before I got it. I changed heads to 516 closed chambers with a 1.74 exhaust valve. Double roller timing chain. Cam is a 335 HP 383 Mopar "purple shaft" cam. .450/.458 lift (tiny, I know). Torker intake. Heddman headers with a 3 inch Hooker Aerochamber exhaust. Engine has 75 psi oil pressure when cold, 45 psi warm. Cranking compression is 124-128psi. Good solid motor. Has a Moroso deep sump pan that has seen better days. Trans is a fully rebuilt 727 with a full manual forward pattern valve body. Deep trans pan with drain plug.

Body of the car is rough. Needs body work on every panel. The way it sits now it has NO bondo at all in it. I sanded the car all the way to bare metal and shot over it in a sealer primer. If you want some more detailed photos, I will try and get all of the major stuff and e-mail it to you. I would recommend doing rear quarters but you can probably just patch. Needs a trunk floor. All frame and floor boards are 100% rock solid. All glass is there. New windshield. New heater core. All lights and dash lights work. Factory temp gauge does not work. Speedo has new cable and works great. All interior is shot. I do have the back seat. I do have the dash surround and glove box door and ash tray. I do NOT have the radio delete plate. I have the window moldings and chrome trim. I have a Coronet 500 grill and bezels. I have all the marker lights and the "CORONET" and "DODGE" lettering for the quarters and tail section. I do have a rear bumper, but it is pretty much junk.

That is about all I can think of right now. I have all the reciepts for everything I have done and bought. If you have questions feel free to ask. I am not desperate to sell this car. I will not reveal the reserve. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Car would drive cross country if you didn't mind it loud and drafty :)

Once again, ask all the questions you want.

Police officer fired for sexually harassing a young woman

Wed, Aug 24 2016

A police officer in Jackson, Mississippi was fired after a video surfaced on Tuesday of him sexually harassing a young woman from his patrol car. According to WAPT, Officer Darryl Stasher of the Jackson Mississippi Police Department rolled up to two young women walking down the street and began talking to them through the driver's side window of his patrol car. During his discourse, his language because coarser and more suggestive. He gave one young woman his number and told her that he was "going to take care of her" and that he wanted to "do more than talk". He also suggested that the two should "get a room" together. The whole exchange was caught on video, and soon after the incident the young woman uploaded the footage to Facebook where it quickly went viral. It didn't take long for the Jackson Police Department to get wind of the video. "The Jackson Police Department does have possession of the video that was posted to Facebook by the young lady," said JPD Commander Tyree Jones. "Chief (Lee) Vance found the video to be very disturbing. He is very disappointed due to the content that's in the video." Upon learning of the video, JPD put Officer Stasher on desk duty pending the results of an internal affairs investigation. Stasher, who worked for at least eight years for JPD in the second precinct, was fired soon after the investigation finished. Related Video:

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models

Thu, 16 May 2013

After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.
