If you are looking for a beautiful original 69 Dart Swinger 340, I have the one for you.  This car had been stored for 12 or so years before I purchased it from a collector. I have owned the car for about two years now.  It has not been restored, but has been repainted at least once sometime in the past.  Since I got it, I have done many cosmetic and mechanical improvements on it to get it to the condition it is currently in. However, no body work of any kind has been done on the car.  Upgrades from stock are an Edelbrock Performance Series Carb, a Rev-n-ator  Electronic ignition box, a Dodge Wood Grain Steering Wheel and an aftermarket radio with casette player which was installed back in the day.  I have the original carb and steering wheel which will be included.  The car is numbers matching engine, transmission and rear end, a 3:55 positraction unit.  The pictures show what the conditon is.  Excellent.  There is one minor dent in the trunk lid, which I attempted to photograph.  You have to look at it from just the right angle to even pick it up, but it is there.  I do not have documentation to verify the mileage not do I have the broadcast sheet, but there are many indicators in regard to wear that tell me that it is pretty close if not right on. In addition,  the fender tag and other stampings are in order.  This is by far the best running and driving A body mopar that I have owned, it is fun to drive and a great performer, especially with the installation of the hot firing Rev-N-ator box. The addition of electronic ignition makes a great improvement in performance and the new carb gets much better gas mileage as long as you aren't in the back barrels.  There are two other minor fixes needed that I am aware of.  One, the heater motor is noisy and the defrost tube to the driver's side is missing.  That's all I know of.  I purchased a new blower motor for the heater just in case, but it has not been installed, but will be included.  I don't have a defrost hose however.  This car is just a real pleasure to drive and it really is a sharp looker.  Exhaust mufflers are new, new leaf springs were installed, front end parts replaced, brakes gone through.  Whatever it has needed it has gotten, even a couple of outer trim pieces that were already good but not excellent have been replaced.  You will not be disappointed with this car in any way if you choose to be the new owner.  The reserve is reasonable, far less than I have invested in this beauty.  I would like it to go to someone who will preserve it's originality and enjoy it as much as I have.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

Tesla Model S P85D shows 707-hp Dodge Challenger Hellcat how to drag race

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Street Car Drags hosted a bang-up event at the Palm Beach International Raceway last weekend, with a list of massive horsepower ICE cars going up against one another and a trio of Tesla Model S P85Ds. One of those duels pitted the 691-horsepower Tesla against a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and the result was an old-school beatdown and a world record for electric cars. The Model S P85D ran the quarter in 11.6 seconds at 114.6 miles per hour, the new mark for BEVs at the drag strip. Proving its pace, it ran three more times in 11.69, 11.72 and 11.76 seconds. It got from the start line to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. The Hellcat, well, it wasn't a race, really. It was the Hellcat's driver's first time at a drag strip and his first time trying to launch it, so after an excellent burnout ahead of the lights, he rolled to the line, almost jumped the start, balked at the real start and spun his tires for the first 100 feet down the strip. The theory is that he overheated his street tires during that burnout, and the resulting greasy rubber did what greasy rubber does. By the time he got to the other end 17.46 seconds later the Tesla driver had showered and was enjoying a funnel cake. When things go right, though, Dodge estimates the Hellcat will do 11.2-second runs on street tires and it has been clocked at 10.85 seconds at 126.18 mph on street-legal drag radials. There's video of the not-quite-a-race above, and Drag Times says there'll be a rematch between the two in a couple of weeks.

Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.
