This is a rare 1968 Dodge Super Bee (VIN WM21H8A342940) with '68 Hemi Engine owned by 2nd owner since September of
1971 (44 years). This vehicle was purchased in the Monterrey Bay area of California, and has never seen salt or
snow. The body has no rust anywhere. It was driven back to Wisconsin in July of 1973, stored that winter, then
spent the next 20 years as a drag racing car. It was always trailered to the race tracks (Great Lakes, Byron &
Wisconsin International Raceway). In 1994 it was stored under cover on cement in my Pole Building until the winter
of 2005-6, when it was put back in street trim for local use and the 2006 Hot Rod Power Tour, then was involved in
9 Power Tours in total, including the 2015 tour. During this time it had 2 articles in Hot Rod Magazine (November
2006 &2014)..
The car has had many modifications over the years, especially for Power Tour. Here's the list as currently in use:
Engine: 1968 426 Hemi engine, acquired in 1976. It currently is bored .020” oversize with Keith Black
Hypereutectic 9.5 to 1 pistons, standard Kellogg crankshaft, with stock 7/16” connecting rods, balanced, Custom

turbo mufflers. In the current setup it has gotten a best of 18 MPG at highway speeds.
Transmission: Highly modified GM 700R4 4 Speed automatic with lockup. A TCI adapter mates the trans with the
engine. The mechanical parts are all from a 4L70e and aftermarket. The valve body is from TCI and eliminates the
critical throttle cable adjustments. The trans has 18000 miles in this car with no mechanical problems. Shifter by

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill
Wed, 10 Sep 2014According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.

Dodge Dart pushed toward the grave with simplified lineup
Tue, Apr 12 2016FCA announced a while back that the Dodge Dart and its Chrysler 200 half-sibling are on the way out due to lack of interest. The 2016 model year will be the Dart's last, and Dodge has just reconfigured the lineup mid-year to lower (relative) pricing and streamline ordering. Streamlined is a nice way of saying there will be fewer choices, with three models (down from five) and limited customization beyond choosing the paint color. The odd thing is that the Dart continues to offer three different engines. And while the prices of the individual models have decreased, the former SE base trim is now gone. That means an early-2016 Dart was available for as little as $17,990, while the late-2016 Dart starts at $18,990. For that sum you get the new base model, the SXT Sport, which replaces the SXT and comes with the 2.0-liter Tigershark four-cylinder (160 horsepower, 148 lb-ft of torque) and a six-speed manual; a six-speed automatic is an available option. Standard equipment includes normal entry-level car stuff, black cloth upholstery, 16-inch wheels, and grille shutters that help improve fuel economy. The SXT Sport can be dressed up with one of three different appearance packages; Chrome adds bright accents to parts including the grille and door handles, Rallye has a black grille and a touring suspension, and the Blacktop package makes pretty much everything on the exterior black and includes a sport-tuned suspension. All three packages come with bigger wheels, too. From there it's on to the new Dart Turbo, for $20,490. It comes with the 1.4-liter turbo four (160 hp, 184 lb-ft of torque) and comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. This is supposed to be the model for enthusiasts, which is how Dodge is selling the switch to manual-only. Ditching the disliked dual-clutch automatic that was previously offered with this engine doesn't hurt. This engine was also used in the former Aero model, as it's the most fuel-efficient in the lineup. The Turbo gets the Rallye appearance stuff and a different hood. At the top is the Dart GT Sport, starting at $21,900. It has the 184-hp, 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder and a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. This is the one with features, including a power driver's seat, the 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment unit, digital reconfigurable gauges, dual-zone auto climate, keyless start, and a rearview camera. The latter-part-of-2016 Dart will be available in eight colors.
