Some assembly required before taking it to the local cruise. Car was built to be a nice driver. Intended on finishing the car but business and life are pressing me to sell the car at this time. Paint is done and has never been color sanded or buffed. Interior is done. Chrome is done. Stainless needs a little polishing to go the next level, very. New Coker wide whites. New rebuilt 325 hemi engine done by a specialist in these type motors. Transmission is done and ready to drop in. Brakes are new but are not currently working (I think they just need bleeding) Electrical is in place and needs to be hooked up. Have shelves full of new and used parts including a new windshield that I paid $2,500 for, as best I can tell the only parts I know that I am missing are some engine pully parts that somehow got lost at a powder coat company. If anyone has these please call, would be interested in buying."

 1957 DODGE CUSTOM ROYAL LANCER D-500 (not a cornet)  My dad and I were working on getting this car completed and life is demanding that we sell it not completed as intended.  All of the expensive and hard to get done work has been completed.  Car is needing final assembly of finished components to drive.   The car is extremely rare being a D-500 performance car.   This is an early American muscle car that I wish we could have experienced driving.   If you buy it my dad and i would love to take it for a spin when you finish it.  One rare option being a Texas car is that it has factory A/C  with the much desired 235 Hemi engine. 

When we purchased the car the man had  done some work on the frame and brakes for restoration.   The brakes are off of a wagon so they are the larger version brake assembly.  He wanted to make it a D-501 clone.   This did not happen except that it has larger brakes.   When we built the car we paid for and purchased the best parts and craftsmanship we could afford.  The car was a straight Texas car to begin with and did have some rust in the floor boards that was repaired by the body shop.    The paint turned out great and still needs to be color sanded and buffed out. 

Interior is complete including headliner and carpet.  We were able to find the correct fabric with the original style gold thread.   The engine and  transmission are ready to be installed and have both been professionally rebuilt to the highest of standards by people who were experienced with these type engines.  I have most all of the parts.  We lost some of the engine pulleys at the powder coater.  This is really going to make agreat car for someone.  If you have any questions please do not hezitate to give me a call 410 533 5347 cell      We invested a lot in the car and hope to get as much as possible back but are also realize it does not always work out that way.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

From Maseratis to rental cars | Autoblog Podcast #511

Fri, Apr 7 2017

On this week's podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman are in a huddle room (again), because the studio was already taken (again). We talk about the all-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger GT (again), as well as the Jeep Wrangler, Maserati Levante, Miata RF (again), and then David waxes poetic on mediocre rental cars (or similar). The episode wraps up with the traditional doling out of Spend My Money buying advice, with some input from an S2000 owner on advice discussed last time. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?) And if you have other questions or comments, please send those too.
