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. There are about $800-$1000 worth of trim and chrome parts, which were never put on the car.  I was going to replace some of the trim that had pitting or were dented.  These parts are super hard to find.   So included in this sale will be door handles, steering wheel horn bezel, side and door trim.  All these pieces are in pretty good shape.  Some are  NOS in the box. Hope this helps the new car owner, with some really rare parts for this car.  

 

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.

2016 Dodge Viper ACR racks up lap records

Thu, Nov 5 2015

With 645 horsepower and an adjustable spoiler nearly six feet wide, the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR would look at home on the runways of most any airport, air base, or aircraft carrier in the world. But it's not built for the runway. It's built for the race track. And it has positively mastered them one after another. In fact, the new Viper ACR has not only beat the lap times of its own predecessor as it set out to, but took the production-car lap record at 13 tracks across the country. The endeavor started out at the Inde Motorsport Ranch in Arizona, where development engineer Chris "The Wolf" Winkler set a lap time of 1:33.75 on the Configuration 4 track to beat every other street-legal vehicle to ever lap the circuit. Then it was off to Buttonwillow, the MotorSport Ranch (in Cresson, TX), Big Willow, VIR, Grattan, Pittsburg, GingerMan, the Motown Mile, Nelson Ledges, Waterford Hills, and Road Atlanta. And with the new American Club Racer, Dodge took the lap record at each and every one. The journey culminated just days ago at Laguna Seca, where track expert Randy Pobst climbed into the Viper ACR and set a lap time of 1:28.65. That's 5.27 seconds faster than the previous ACR's time, and 1.24 seconds faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder that held the record until now. The sum total is a bragging-rights sheet of lap records set at 13 tracks across these United States. And you don't have to take Dodge's word on that. The records have been certified by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), cementing the ACR's place in the record books. Nice work if you can get it, and you can scope it out in the video above and press release below.

Stellantis will enter joint venture with Samsung SDI for EV batteries

Tue, Oct 19 2021

SEOUL — South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI Co Ltd and global automaker Stellantis NV have agreed to jointly produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries for the North American market, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Samsung SDI, an affiliate of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics, already has EV battery plants in South Korea, China and Hungary, which supply customers such as BMW and Ford. "The two companies (Samsung SDI and Stellantis) have struck a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to produce EV batteries for North America," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The source spoke of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The person said the location of the battery joint venture is under review and will be announced later. In July, Reuters reported that Samsung SDI may build a battery plant in the United States, citing a company source. South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the two companies plan to build a factory in the United States, citing industry sources. Samsung SDI and Stellantis did not have immediate comment when reached by Reuters. Stellantis on Monday struck a preliminary deal with battery maker South Korea's LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America. Shares of Samsung SDI were up 2.6% as of 0300 GMT, versus a 0.6% rise in the KOSPI benchmark index.

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.
