No zero feedback bidders without prior authorization For Sale is a super rare 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix with completely rebuilt, smooth running, high torque and high horsepower 426 engine. This car has a low reserve. The car has a completely rebuilt, rare, 426 engine. The casting number is 1852029 which means it is a 1963-65, 426 C.I. with a nickel strengthened steel block. The engine was professionally built about 2500 miles ago and punched out to a 440. The previous owner, who was in very poor health and had to sell the car, had all the work done in Milwaukee, so I do not know all the exact specs or know everything about the engine. The engine has 440 heads on it with porting and polishing, and valve work done. I do not know the exact cam, but it is a mid-range rpm cam. It has an Edelbrock aluminum performer RPM, dual Plane intake with a powder coated Holley 650 carb. The radiator is a 4 core aluminum radiator for extra cooling. The engine has a MSD electronic ignition and coil. The transmission is a rebuilt 727 with shift kit, that still retains the push button shifting and tranny equipped parking brake. The front brakes have been changed to disc brakes. This is a 4 door hardtop which is the rare post free Dodge Dart Phoenix. Dodge only made 20,216 four-door hardtops, and of these around 6,000 were Phoenix models. When front and rear windows are rolled down there is no post separation between front and back. The dodge dart phoenix is the rarest of the Dodge Darts and the luxury top of the line model above the Seneca and Pioneer. 1960 was the first year of the Dodge dart. This Phoenix originally came with a 318 V8, but now has the much more powerful 426. The interior has been reupholstered in thicker red and black vinyl. Overall this is one cheap hot rod that gets all the looks. According to the last owner there is less than 50 still registered in the US. Condition: Although this car is not perfect it is a pretty nice car, and would be a great starting point for further restoration. This is an older restoration and but the overall condition is good. The engine is about perfect. The power steering pump leaks a little from one of the seals, and will need rebuilt eventually. The battery has a quick disconnect on it, which I take off when the car sits for a period of time to keep the battery from going dead. There might be a small draw from somewhere in the car. The underside of the car is coated in rust proof coating. This car is almost rust free, with 3 small bubbles on hood as shown in the pictures. A couple of the trim pieces have dents in them, but the car is almost perfectly straight. The floor boards solid and the trunk pan looks like it was replaced at one time. The dash is in pretty good shape, but needs some touch up work. Some of the chrome pieces have pitting on them. The car has a cd player installed, which was poorly done, I have an original radio which will go with the car, I did not install it. The glove box has the liner taken out and a speaker was installed. The glove box liner comes with the car and is in the trunk. The sun visors are not installed and also in the trunk. The headliner is wrinkled in spots, and has a small repair job behind the rear seats. The trim and chrome around the car is original and has small pitting and scratches. The rear bumper is the worst of the chrome, and the door handles and roof vents have the worst surface pitting. The chrome around the window vents is very good on the outside but only fair to decent on the inside. The car was repainted about 5 years ago, and takes a great shine. There are some spots on the passenger door that were touched up, and also on the front fender. Some of the original chrome has some pitting. Overall this is a cool car that grabs a lot of attention. It runs and drives well, quite powerful, and a really kind of a hot rod sleeper. Comes with Owners manual, and car brochure.

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.
Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.
1 Of 1 Dodge Viper looks a fabulous mess in Chicago
Fri, Feb 13 2015Earlier this year, we told you about the new Dodge Viper 1 Of 1 program, which offers buyers the chance to customize their supercars to the tune of some 25 million different combinations. With 8,000 paint colors, 24,000 hand-painted stripe patterns, 10 wheel options, and 16 interior trims to choose from, you'd be right to think that the possibilities for personalization are endless, and can probably get a little weird. That's kind of what's going on here in Chicago, with a Viper showcar that's definitely... unique. It doesn't really look bad, necessarily. It's just kind of strange. We call this color job, "Oh no, there are tiny paint cans falling from the sky, but I simply can't stop driving 200 miles per hour." And when it came time to spec wheels, it looks like FCA US said, "Aw heck, let's just use all of 'em." You'll definitely want to take a look at this unique creation, in the gallery above. And be sure to let us know if you think this Viper is hot or not, in Comments. Related Video:
