If I could return to the days of my youth, and purchase a new car from a dealer, and then proceed to make the modifications we did in that era, this car represents what we would have done in the early seventies.    Cragar rims, upgraded suspension, bigger rear tires with a slightly raised back end and all the engine modifications that we could afford.    For two years, I have spared no expense in creating a muscle car from that era, a rare Dodge Demon model that has people hanging out their windows to take pictures of it like it was one of my Ferrari's.       I did not expect that!    Time brings unforeseen circumstances, and my wife and I had a 'surprise' baby last year.      For the right reasons, you should consider this car and how I brought it to its current condition...perhaps it's the same way you would have done it yourself:

- Interior:   stripped down, lined with DynaMat sound-proofing, including the trunk, 100 percent new interior with reliable Auto-Meter gages and a modern air-conditioning system.  Installed front and rear seat belts.  

- Suspension:   Bilstein gas shocks.     This is the best riding vintage car I have driven.

- Exhaust:  I tried two...scrapped one system for being too loud...ended up with a MagnaFlow mildy baffled system with cross-overs (eliminates back-fires).....with the DynaMat it sounds like a muscle car to pedestrians but is driveable on the inside.

- Paint, Finish:   A true $9,000 paint job by the local Ferrari-dealer authorized paint shop.    A rich red that is hard to appreciate from the photo's.   True perfection.     New bumpers, tail-lights (a 6 month wait for those!)   Fully finished trunk

- Engine:   a new MOPAR crate motor, 360 cubic inch, 400 HP, automatic with Hurst slap-stick, Holley 4BBL with a high-rise manifold, full aircraft grade fuel lines, Holley marine-grade fuel pump from a fuel-cell.    New everything (MSD Ignition, alternator, voltage regulator, fuel pump regulator, everything the best it can be.)

The total restoration cost was $38,000.00.    The reserve is substantially below this number.    The Demon production run was short and limited, objected to by the churches for having advertised the car in front of a church wedding and that created a howl amongst the conservatives!     I believe this is best Demon ever restored, at least among the best, and it is a rare car that will only increase in price.    Best of all, it's a fantastic driver!    Call my cell phone at 727-647-6499 if you want to chat about it.

Dodge could enter Peugeot's Le Mans-bound 9x8 hypercar in IMSA races

Wed, Jul 21 2021

Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group merged under the Stellantis umbrella in early 2021 to achieve economies of scale, and this benefit could surprisingly extend to racing. Executives are debating whether to give Dodge its own version of Peugeot's recently-unveiled 9x8 hypercar to race in America, according to a recent report. "While we only heard [the new rules] confirmed a week ago, it has certainly led to some very open discussion, not only about whether Peugeot might add races in the United States, but also about whether the spine of this car might have opportunities with other brands in the Stellantis Group. There are no conclusions yet, but there are now open discussions," affirmed Jean-Marc Finot, the Senior Vice President of Stellantis, in an interview with Racer. His comments refer to an agreement signed in July 2021 by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). They chose to align their technical regulations to let manufacturers compete in different events on both sides of the pond without going through the resource-consuming process of developing a specific car for each series. As of writing, the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) and Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) categories fall under the newly-announced common set of rules. On the surface, this means Peugeot could enter its 9X8 (pictured) in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as soon as the 2023 season. While this is seemingly under consideration, Peugeot has little to gain from winning a major race in the United States. It hasn't sold cars here since 1991, and its long-mooted comeback was canned after PSA merged with FCA. Giving a variant of the 9X8 to Dodge is a more credible possibility, according to Racer. If not Dodge, then who else? Chrysler hasn't been linked to racing or performance for decades. Jeep is no stranger to performance vehicles, but IMSA would be pushing it. Ram is Ram, while Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati are rooted in Europe. The rest of the Stellantis brands (like Opel, Lancia, and Citroen) are not distributed in America. Nothing is official, and the publication stressed it's unclear whether Dodge will commit part- or full-time to the series (assuming the program receives the green light). Finot underlined the parallel car would use the 9X8's "spine," so don't expect to see a Peugeot hypercar with a Dodge emblem driving flat-out on the Sebring International Raceway.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021

Tue, May 4 2021

Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
