Bayonne, New Jersey, United States


Built by the famous Barry White and crew of Barry's Speed Shop SRRC in Corona, CA and
Ron Jenkins of Magnumforce Race Car Fabrication who are both very well known for quality craftsmanship.
During the build, Rikki Rockett of the 80's rock band "Poison" autographed the center console and the name Poison Dart was born.

Barry started the transformation with a discarded 1969 Dart from Nevada with a solid, rust-free body that was stripped, blocked and painted a beautiful House of Kolor "molly orange" with a matte black hood/scoop and trunk stripe. Barry called on Ron Jenkins to personally install one of his custom designed tubular a-body k-member, front shock perch braces and sub frame connectors before installing a Mopar Performance 472ci modern day HEMI under the hood.

Here's a list of some of the parts in the build...

QA1 adj front and rear shocks with front coil-overs handle suspension duty

Hot Rod Air A/C (concealed in glove compartment)

AM/FM Digital Radio w Remote (concealed in glove compartment)

Flaming River Steering Column w Rack and Pinion Power Steering

ABS Hydraulic Boosted Power Brakes - never a hard pedal (hidden in driver's wheel well)

Baer Calipers with 14" Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors

Currie Enterprises Dana 60 axle with very streetable 3.50 posi-gears

Built 727 (900hp capable) w 9' billet 3,200stall converter

Gear Vendors Overdrive (control board concealed in center console slide door)

472ci HEMI with Twin 650 Edelbrock Thunder AVS 4 Barrel Carbs

Custom "blue printed" Distributor

"Mooneyes" Tach, Oil, Temp and Volt Gauges

18" front and 19" rear custom Magnum wheels

Pirelli P-Zero 225/40-18 Front and Nitto NT05 275/35-19 Rears (95% tread remaining)


Sold by Barry's Speed Shop at the Russo and Steele auto auction to the sole owner since the build whom I purchased it from last year. In addition to the "filmed" $66,000 auction price, the previous owner spent an additional $14,000 by upgrading many of the off-the-shelf parts such as the exhaust with a fully hand welded work of art which included custom welded jet-hot coated headers, 3" custom welded stainless pipes with Magnaflow x-pipe and polished mufflers which not only looks awesome but sounds grrrreat and tucked up very nicely. He also added a much appreciated Gear Vendors Overdrive unit for effortless highway travel, cleaned up all the wiring, added subtle but necessary exterior touches and finally a set of Mooneyes tach, oil, volts and temp gauges.

Since I've owned it, I spent many hours and approximately $7,500 perfecting an already close to perfect build. Most notably, the stock 727 torqueflight and B&M street converter were not up to the task. I chose Pat Barrett of Level 10 performance transmissions to custom rebuild the 727 to a "bullet-proof" 900hp capable unit with a brand new 9" billet 3,200 stall converter and properly timed solenoids that always choose the perfect gear.

Last but not least, I'm very particular about a clean and crisp throttle response so I contacted Hemi Specialist, John Arruzza who jetted and flowed a brand new pair of Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650cfm carbs specifically for my application as well as a fully blueprinted distributor. The end result is a crisp throttle response and excellent light to heavy throttle transition that's smooth and precise.

All this labor and attention to detail translates to a truly "turn key" custom built “Super Muscle Car” with all the top of the line parts, modern day comforts and the high quality fit and finish one expects from a “one off” custom muscle machine of this caliber and price point forever immortalized on film!

I have numerous magazines that feature the Poison Dart as well as the original framed hand drawn rendering with the autographs of all those involved in the build as well as a DVD of the episode and a vender presentation sign for car shows that goes with the sale.

I personally have over $60k invested in the Dart to get it to this point so please no $20k low ballers.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

The best cars we drove this year

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Six hundred and fifty. That's roughly how many cars pass through the hands of Autoblog editors every year, from the vehicles we test here at home, to the cars we drive on new product launches, testing roundups, long-term cars, and so on. Of course, our individual numbers vary due to several reasons, but at the end of the day, our team's repertoire of automotive experience is indeed vast. But let's be honest, some cars certainly stand out more than others. So as the year's about to turn, and as we're readying brand-new daily cat calendars for our cubicles, our editors are all taking time to reflect on the machinery that made this year so special, with one simple, open-ended question as the guide – a question that we're asked quite frequently, from friends, family, colleagues, and more. "What's the best car you drove this year?" Lamborghini Huracan When I review the list of everything I drove in 2014, picking an absolute favorite becomes almost impossible. I mean, how does one delineate between the joy offered by cars as different as the Alfa Romeo 4C, Volkswagen Golf R, Mercedes-AMG GT S and even the humble-yet-wonderful Chevy Colorado? Okay fine, I'll just pick the Lamborghini. I drove the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 on a racetrack, in the mountains, and along southern coast of Spain. It felt like the king of the car jungle in all of those places, sucking the eyeballs of observers nearly out of their heads as it drove by, and almost melting my brain with its cocktail of speed and grip and intense communication. It feels a little easy to say that the one new supercar I drove this year was also my favorite, but the fact is that the Huracan is one of the finest cars I've driven during my career, let alone 2014. Judge me if you must. – Seyth Miersma Senior Editor Rolls-Royce Wraith There are a couple of ways to look at the question, "What's the best car you drove this year?" In terms of what was so good I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, that'd be my all-time sweetheart, the Volkswagen GTI. Or if I'm just talking about sheer cool-factor, maybe something like the Galpin GTR1, BMW i8, or Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. But instead, I'm going to write about the sheer opulence of being the best of the best. The hand-crafted, holier-than-thou, shut-your-mouth-when-I'm-talking-to-you supremacy. I'm picking the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I drove the Wraith for a week in April, and was really, really impressed. This car does everything, perfectly.

2015 Dodge Charger configurator opens up shop

Thu, Dec 11 2014

Itching to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Charger? Your day is almost nigh, my friend While you're waiting, you can spec out how you'd want your muscle sedan to look as Dodge has included the revised four-door in its online configuration tool. Though it's not the most impressive or interactive of configurators we've seen, the site lets you choose any color you want (from the limited array available anyway) along with all the key options packages and such. First you'll need to choose a trim level though, but we're afraid the Hellcat version isn't part of this site, and the SRT site hasn't launched a configurator yet for the world's fastest production sedan, so you'll have to choose between SE, SXT and R/T trim levels.
