This is a 1969 Dodge Dart (Mopar).   Originally, it was a slant six cylinder. I pulled a 318, 904, front disc brakes, and rear end from a 1974 Dart and put it in the car you see. The car has been completely stripped down to bear metal and rebuilt and repainted from the ground up.  Sheet metal work and sub-frame connector work was done at Pro Tech in Kennewick Washington.   As well, Pro Tech did the painting on the body of the car. The doors, deck lid, hood, and fenders were painted and fitted by Eddie Robbins and Tim O'Keefe of Snake River Street Rods, Kennewick, Washington.  The interior upholstery work was done by Pete Medrano of Kennewick, Washington and as you might be able to tell from the pictures, the headliner still needs to be installed (so does a stereo- I have installed two 4" speakers under the dash and run speaker wires to the rear). The engine was bored .300 over at S&B and rebuilt with Edlebrock intake and cam. There is a carter 4 barrel carburetor on the car presently. The heads are commando heads with 2.02" intake and 1.88" exhaust ports (they are stamped with an 'X'). Dick at American Eagle Muffler ran 2 5/8" exhaust out from the Hooker headers.   The car has a B & M floor shifter in it.  The car scoots along very nicely and as you can see from the pictures is near flawless in the paint and body.  The dash and visors have new covers and the dashboard is has been painted gloss black.  The interior trim pieces are all here.  However, one of the plastic pillar post covers will need to be glued.  A very tiny chip appears just below the corner of the rear window and a small chip is below the windshield. This car is not finished, however.  It needs a headliner, stereo, rear speakers, and the trim mounted along the drip rail above the doors  For the winning bidder, I will include an 8 3/4 rear end with posi gears (3:55) ready to assemble and put under the car.  I have receipts for well over $40,000 invested in this car, but I must sell it. This car is almost done and the price reflects that.  If you would like to see more pictures, especially beginning to end, of the car when it was in the process of being restored, I have those as well.  Thanks for looking. I am selling this car for my brother and he has clear title.

2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen

Thu, Jan 3 2019

In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]

Fri, Nov 21 2014

First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
