Here we have a 1968 Dodge Dart that I recently took in as partial payment against another Mopar that I had . Originally it was a Dart 270 but it now it has a 440 motor with the famed six pack set-up and a 727 auto trans with a Dana 60 in the rear with a posi and 4:11 gears. And the car is supposed to be set up by a NASCAR DRIVER/MECHANIC but I cannot prove or disprove that statement. But as you can see there is some high dollar parts that go with this car as it was set-up to simply be a cool go-fast car and that is it. It is NOT A SHOW CAR but it is a cool looking car with the right motor and a really nice interior but the body work is amateurish with a few waves and misaligned body lines. So if you are looking for perfection you should keep looking but if you are just looking for a cool go fast car this just might be the one.

Now let me tell you a little more about the car in detail. First off the color is sublime green with a black tail stripe and a black six-pack hood. All new suspension painted and powder coated, Nascar style 3-piece sway bar up front (will need a front end alignment), All new front disk brakes with chrome hard lines and steel braided flex lines at each wheel, 11” performance drums in the back with New shocks both front and rear with the rear being air shocks, A narrowed Dana 60 with a 4:11 posi rear gear and 35 Spline Moser billet axles with top links on axle tubes to help prevent axle wrap, A  rebuilt manual reverse pattern valve body 727 with a deep aluminum racing tranny pan and a new 3500 Boss hog stall converter with a new  B&M pistol grip ratchet shifter, The battery was moved to the rear of the car but the battery box was made to look like a piece of luggage and not just a ugly battery box. Most of the bolts have been replaced with stainless steel or ceramic chromed, Has frame connecters that are welded in and the whole underbody is undercoated, The fuel tank is clean and ready for fuel and I has a sump with a Edelbrock quiet electric fuel pump(relayed switch is under the dash for on or off with key ignition.

It is also wearing brand new Coker red line tires stretched over brand new(painted to match) wheels with deep dish on the rear(215 up front and 255 for the rear and 15x8 front and 15x10 rear ). As for the interior it has  new carpet, new windshield, new wood grain steering wheel  and a hidden master power switch under the dash with removable key but sorry no radio.

Under the hood has also been prepped for the motor and as you can see it has a all aluminum  radiator with a stainless steel shroud and electric fan set-up(thermal activated switch with override under dash)  and a stainless overflow tank. New wiring harness, Now for the motor it is a early 70s 440 with rebuilt like new 906 six pack heads that have been ported and have larger manley valves, springs and retainers, The rods are Childs & Albert  billet rods. As for the pistons they are new 30 over forged  trw  domed pistons (11:1) with a new hydraulic purple .531 cam and new comp lifters plus a New double roller timing chain. It also has a new aluminum water pump, New oil pan with a new high volume oil pump, New chrome balancer , Chrome one wire alternator with the brackets, Aluminum pulleys and Mopar aluminum valve covers, msd distributor and all arp studs (heads and mains),  and all the gaskets needed for assembly of the motor. And to sit on top of this monster is an aluminum six-pack intake with holley carbs (2-350 cfm and 1- 500 cfm modified to fit the six pack intake so now all 3 carbs have metering blocks and power  valves for better tuning) . The block will need machining and the crank will need to be turned(neither have been turned or bored)  So that is what this car has to offer. Like I said earlier it is not a show car but just a cool go fast car that is about 90% complete but needs to be put back together by somebody looking for that cool, cool car.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding on this car as there is no warranty or guarantees on this car.( after all it is a 45 year old car)  Either  you can call me at 231-206-5258 my name is Kirk or email me thru ebay’s  ask seller a question. Well good luck if you bid on my car………………..see-ya

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.

Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger. Take a look. News Source: howtoPRANKitup via YouTube, The Detroit News Humor Detroit Auto Show Audi Dodge Mercedes-Benz Coupe Luxury Performance Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show prank

Mopar unveils Dodge Challenger Drag Pak [w/video]

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Dodge is going drag racing, and it's doing it with an all-new version of the Challenger for NHRA's Sportsman class. FCA's Mopar parts and performance arm announced the new Challenger Drag Pak Friday, showing off a version with a 354-cubic-inch (that's a 5.8-liter, by the way), supercharged V8 and a 426-ci (7.0-liter), naturally aspirated V8 – both Hemis, of course Β– that can get the big coupes through the quarter-mile in "the eight-second range." While the two engines deliver similar performance, at their base, they're quite a bit different. The supercharged model uses a cast-iron block, while the 426 has aluminum for both the block and head. That said, both models get customized engine calibrations, and are mated to unique, race-spec automatic transmissions. But drag racing is about far more than just outright power. Mopar significantly updated the four-link rear suspension, adding a four-inch rear axle from Strange Engineering, along with an aluminum, nine-inch third member, while the rear-axle housing has been strengthened in general. Both the rear shocks and front struts can be adjusted for rebound and compression, too. Lightweight 15-inch wheels, meanwhile, are shod in super-sticky Hoosier drag radials, with nine inches of tread in back and 4.5 inches in front. The new Challenger Drag Pak should run the quarter-mile in "the eight-second range." In the cabin, there's an NHRA-spec roll cage, a Racepak gauge cluster, and a handsome pair of Sparco racing seats. Outside, supercharged models get blue decals, while naturally aspirated varieties get black stickers, although there's more to the new Challenger dragster's exterior than just its decals. Mopar tweaked the big-scoop hood, promising it's easier to get up to check on the engine, and the designers also added trailer tie-down straps in both the front and rear. While the dragster was the big news today, Mopar officials also announced the two enhanced Scat Pack kits for both the Dodge Charger and Challenger R/T. The 5.7-liter Hemi models gain an extra 56 horsepower and 30 pound-feet of torque in the Scat Pack 2 thanks to a new cam, valve springs, pushrods, and gaskets. The Scat Pack 3, meanwhile, adds 75 hp and 44 lb-ft, on top of the gains from the lower packages. That should be perfect for drivers who wish to snort in the face of their SRT 392-driving friends. The third stage adds a ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow manifolds and catalysts.
