For sale is my 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger that was born with a 340 and a 3 speed manual transmission on the floor. The vin, fender tag, door tag, the number stamped on the trunk lip under the weatherstripping all match. I also have the build sheet, so this is the real deal. The Dart is also a California car.
The engine and transmission......The 340 engine and the four speed manual transmission that are in the Dart right now came out of a 1969 Cuda. The Cuda engine had a high quality rebuild about 8 years ago and that's when the Cuda engine was put in for the original 340. The Cuda engine starts right up and runs strong. The transmission also runs strong and shifts with no problems. I still have the original numbers matching 340 that the Dart was born with but I do not have the original 3 speed transmission that it was born with. The Cuda engine doesn't have a bunch of miles on it since the rebuild, the Dart was sitting for a while and only driven from time to time.
Interior......The interior is all black and could use a new headliner, new carpet, new door panels, new dash pad and rear seat reupholstered. I do not have the original front split bench seat anymore, the front seats in it now are just some bucket seats out of a old charger. I took the carpet and seats out so that you can see the floor pans in the photo, there is no rust at all. The gauges, heater, speedometer and lights all work but I don't have the original tachometer anymore, it has an aftermarket tachometer now. I don't have the original am radio either, it now has a cd player.
Exterior......The body and trunk are rust free except for a small area on the lower driver's side rear quarter panel, see photo. The rust has only affected the outside metal and not the interior metal of the quarter panel, it looks like to be an easy fix. I do not have the original hood and hood scoops anymore, the hood was damaged years ago when a box fell on it. It didn't damage anything else but the hood and slightly bent the hood hinge, that's why the hood on it now doesn't line up that well. The hood now is just a stock hood from a 1970 dart. The Dart was born with Hemi Orange paint and a black stripe on the trunk. The Dart has been sitting out in the sun for years and the paint shows it. The black stripe has also been taken off. The body is very straight but has a few minor dents/blemishes, nothing that can't easily be fixed. All the glass looks good but the windshield will need to be replaced due to a long crack. All the lights and blinkers work.
You can view the photo of the vin and fender tag printout to see what the Dart was originally born with.
I'm sure there are many things that I forgot to mention but just send me an email and I'll get back to you.
This is a very solid car. The Dart is fast, loud and a lot of fun to drive.

Tesla Model S P85D shows 707-hp Dodge Challenger Hellcat how to drag race
Thu, Jan 22 2015Street 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.

Vin Diesel reveals first poster for Furious 8
Wed, Apr 20 2016Vin Diesel unveiled the first poster for Furious 8. The image shows Dom standing on a deserted road with his Dodge Charger with the tagline: "New roads ahead." Diesel's post doesn't offer any other new details about the much-anticipated action film, which is still a year away from theaters. While this image is teasing, we continue to get a better idea of Furious 8's cast. Scott Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's son, has a prominent role in the film, and Charlize Theron plays a villain. Dwayne Johnson also confirmed his return as Hobbs. Plot details still vague, though. An earlier teaser from Diesel hinted that some of the movie might take place in Manhattan, which could be an amazing setting for automotive stunts. The crew has also been filming north of Reykjavik, Iceland, which would be a great locale for off-road action. Furious 8 will hit theaters on April 14, 2017. According to Diesel, part 9 will arrive on April 19, 2019, and Fast & Furious 10 will potentially end the main franchise on April 2, 2021. This content is hosted by a third party.

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new
Thu, Jan 6 2022Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape. BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021. Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year. Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
