Up for sale is a 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 2-dr. It came out with a 383 engine, but now has a 440 in it - serial number is 25364305 on the block, year built 9/28/1967, makes it a 1968 engine - auto tranny 373 positive traction rear end. It has long tube headers, with dual exhaust turned down at the rear bumper. It has power steering and I have driven this car about 20 miles. It runs great and the tranny shifts perfect. It has good power. The carburetor that i drove it with came from my wife's mustang. I will have a used one on it before the end of sale. The chrome for the windshield and the back glass, are in the trunk of the car. I was told when i bought the car, that it was a 1 family owner car: mother and son. This car has a very straight body, but will need lower front and rear quarter panel patches; and about 16x16 inches in trunk pan - rest is pretty solid; need front floor pans; about 6x16' on rear floor pans where your feet sit; but the rest of the car has surface rust from sitting behind barn for the last 24 years. The passenger side fender can be repaired, but I have one to go with it. The interior is all original; the back seat and side panels are in really good shape; the front needs redone; also the front door panels and headliner will need replaced. The driver's door shuts, but will need the latch replaced and some minor welding. All of the glass is original, with no cracks; windows roll up & down with ease, even though I drove this car, I would not drive very far. It stops good, but the brake master cylinder has small leak; also the radiator has several pinhole leaks, but is original. All the lights work, but the right front signal light doesn't work. It maybe the housing ?? It comes with a new front end kit, ball joints, upper and lower outer tie rods, and bushings. The only thing I can find missing, is the radio face plate and the bumble bee emblem that goes in the grille and deck lid. I am sure I missed something. Ask questions and I'll answer them as soon as possible. The vin number will be on the title if you want to decode it. I am sorry, the cowl tag and the build sheet was missing when purchased. I have the previous owner's name and number. Thanks Gene. 276-733-9798 or 276-235-1904. Happy bidding.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
