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.

Rare Dodge Daytona found in barn heads for auction

Tue, Dec 15 2015

An American icon is headed to Mecum's Kissimmee, Florida auction next January. Charlie Lyons, owner of a restoration shop focused on old Chrysler products, got a lead on a two-owner 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona that had been sitting in a barn in Glenwood, Alabama for decades. Dodge built 560 Charger Daytonas (Canada and US production) to homologate the model for NASCAR racing, and then that car and the successor Plymouth Superbird terrorized NASCAR tracks for 18 months. The production car, however, 18 feet long and considered ugly, wasn't popular at the time, so many were beat up or simply disappeared. Around 385 are thought to exist today. Lyons said the first owner of this car was the town judge, who bought it for his wife. In 1974 the second owner - just 18 years old at the time - bought it for $1,800 so he could drive it to Panama City, Florida, for Spring Break, and had flames painted on the front fenders and the scallops trimmed in white. Otherwise this barn find is complete and stock, with matching numbers throughout, R4 Charger Red paint and a white tail, bucket seats, center console, three-speed TorqueFlite automatic, and 20,553 miles on the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8. Hot Rod has the long story of how Lyons found the car and convinced the owner to sell for what he jokingly called "a shoebox full of folded money." Hagerty says a concours-worthy model can command $262,000. Mecum's pre-sale estimate for this Charger Daytona is $150,000 to $180,000. That sounds steep, but Mecum did sell another perfectly restored Hemi-powered 1969 Charger Daytona for $900,000 at this year's Kissimmee auction to actor David Spade. Related Video:

2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.

Dodge Hellcats getting price hike

Fri, Aug 21 2015

Dodge plans twice as many Hellcats on the road for the 2016 model year, they are going to be a bit more expensive when buyers sign on the dotted line. According to CarsDirect and confirmed to Autoblog by Dodge, 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat costs $65,190, an increase of $4,200 over 2015. That figure includes $995 for destination and $1,700 for the Gas Guzzler charge. The latest Charger SRT Hellcat retails for $68,640, a $3,650 increase. Other SRT trims of the muscle cars also see a price hike. The 2016 Challenger SRT 392 is $51,190, after destination and a $1,000 guzzler charger – a $3,500 increase. The Charger SRT 392 also jumps $3,000, to $51,990. Even at 2015's prices, Dodge was having problems keeping up with demand for the Hellcat, and the higher price isn't likely to change that. And before you think the company is going plum crazy, the 2016 models of all four muscle cars come standard with Laguna leather seats and navigation. According to company spokesperson Dan Reid to Autoblog, both items had a "very high customer take rate," and the previously optional features are valued at $2,490. Dodge previously announced a discount for those who had a sold 2015 Hellcat order canceled in the switch to 2016. Those amount to $5,000 on the Challenger and $4,000 Charger, which seems like a sweet deal for those customers. Related Video:
