 AACA NATIONAL FIRST PLACE WINNER HERSHEY, PA.


You are looking at I believe the finest example of a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer available anywhere. It is 1 of only 243 built by Dodge in 1957 and I know of no others available. It's condition leaves nothing to the imagination or desire.  Most of the car is original to include the chrome [only two pieces redone] the interior [ only the carpeting and package tray changed because of fading].  The drive train is all original with the five numbers matching required for the D-500 HEMI OPTION.  The engine is stamped as it is supposed to be as is the heads, the oversized radiator, the torque flight 3-speed transmission, and the Suregrip rear end. The car runs perfectly and does not miss a beat.  It is turn key and ready to drive to the show your choice. This car has over 100 trophies/awards and includes the Mopar Regional "BEST OF SHOW" and the Mopar in Motion "BEST OF SHOW" plus so many PEOPLES CHOICE AWARDS.


Mechanically the 12.5 inch brakes are all done to include a new master cylinder, all new steel radial tires including the spare,  new exhaust system front to back, and the front end steering is dead on target.


The body is all original never rusted or having any panel replaced. They are only new once in their lifetime and this one is still like that. There are some small road chips that are so small and don't show to touch them up. You should know that the car had the front end repainted over 20 years ago while the balance of the car is nearly all original and extraordinary. At the same time the front end was repainted, the engine compartment was freshened as was the engine. All remains spectacular today and attracts attention more than any car I have ever owned.  The trunk is filled with all sorts of new parts like gasket kits, heater hose, radiator hoses, tune up parts and filters, spare tail lights, etc.


I am selling this car because I have to and with dire reservations. If I had a good solid car of the same vintage, and someone were to give me $50,000 to restore it, I could never make it the quality of this car . It is coming out in another advertisement and if sold there, I reserve the right to pull the ad from Ebay.


You can look at the pictures and if you have any other questions, let me know. I know that chrome is always a valid consideration as it is so expensive to redue correctly. Let me assure you, You cannot get N.O.S. chrome better than what is on this car. You will see a little pollen dust that appears only. No defects. Also, the steering wheel is perfect with no form of cracks, fading or ware, and the horn ring is excellent. The door panels and seats are all original material from the factory and beautiful. To save the seat material, the original cotton threads was rotting from age and redone with nylon thread for lasting. You have to understand, the seat material is gone forever to never be available for anyone to redue. Someone would have to do it incorrectly and as the Lancer only came with what you see.


I have many other pictures that I can forward for your review. Ebay only has the provisions for 24 pictures in the listing. Send your email address and I will forward to you if you need to see more.




I am listing the "Buy It Now" lower than it should be. I will never be able to replace the car for the asking price. Whoever wins the car will have the best of a very rare and desirable car. Should the car go overseas, I will assist with the coordination of shipping. I know as I have sold a lot of Mopar items to Sweden in the past and had to assist. Happy bidding.

Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.

Jay Leno's 426-powered 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 is simple and simply fun

Wed, Dec 21 2016

This week on Jay Leno's Garage, the man in denim presents one of his most subdued-looking cars, a 1966 Dodge Coronet 500. Despite that, it's one of his favorites. As he shows, the car is nearly free of any unnecessary options, excepting bucket seats and a console shifter. At least those are the only visible options, since the original owner also opted for the massive 426 cu. in. Hemi V8. What Leno really likes about the car is the honking huge V8 combined with the car's simplicity, especially the lack of frivolities like scoops, stripes, and wings. It's finished in a low-key, dark metallic green, and has plain-Jane "dog dish" wheel covers. The one downside to the vehicle is the lack of stopping and turning ability, Leno says, which is not surprising considering the four-wheel drum brakes and lack of power assist. And keep in mind, the Coronet is not a small car. Still, it's a mean green machine, and it sounds great. Leno also demonstrates the engine's capability to chirp the tires going into second gear, despite having a three-speed automatic and a relatively tall 3.23 rear axle gear ratio. Check out the video above to get the whole story and to hear rumbling V8 noises. Related Video:

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon

Fri, 23 May 2014

This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
