Aftermarket Add-Ons include Deep Tinted Windows and beefy Magnaflow exhaust with Magnaflow tips, and also the Skip-Shift Eliminator.

NOW.....for the ultra-cool retro additions....to pay tribute to the cool aspects of the '71 Cuda, I have added:  Shaker Hood System - fully functional w/HemiCuda emblems, 71-Cuda style Grille assembly painted body-color, custom finishes @ grille surround, Reproduction 71 Cuda Roadlamps w/dedicated switch, Appearance Hood Pins, Appearance 'fish gill' Fender vents, original 70's Mopar fender-mounted turn signals, custom short-throw Pistol Grip shifter with simulated wood inserts, custom-finish woodgrain Console top, custom-finish woodgrain instrument bezel, custom 70's Cuda-style gauges showing all necessary EVIC stats & 180mph speedometer but with the Cuda-style background on the gauges, custom yellow piping and steering wheel emblem, custom Cuda dash emblem, custom-designed 'Billboard' graphic with engine specification & custom YellowJacket logo paying homage to both eras, Chrysler pentastar emblem on lower fender, painted rocker panels, reproduction 70's Mopar chrome rocker mouldings, custom fuel cap emblem, 'Go-Wing'-style spoiler, original 71 Cuda taillights wired in fully functional including reverse lights, custom tailpanel with original Cuda tailpanel emblem, and finally....custom-built (and very costly) Polished racing wheels -18" fronts & 20" rears with custom-lettered Dunlop Sport Maxx tires with OEM TPMS sensors installed.

The pictures tell the story - style-wise this 'tribute' came out better than anticipated, although not perfect - I can guarantee you can take it to car shows and walk away with trophies. I purchased this car in Palm Beach,FL and drove her back to OH - and it still smells new!  This is a personal-build, not done by any professional corporate or full-fab shop nor does it come as a 'kit', so please refrain from emails concerning that.  This is my brain-child and it is a just plain beautiful, menacing, unique, extreme rubberneck worthy bad-*ss vehicle.  It is the best of both worlds - all the performance and creature comforts of the new with all the cool retro aspects of the iconic 70's Cuda.  Dodge did the Challenger very well, but let's not forget the Cuda - this car will never be an actual Cuda and that it is why it is labeled as a tribute.  I did de-badge the car of all Dodge and 'ramhead' emblems and wanted to present it as an 'SRT'-type brand car so there wouldn't be a long drawn-out debate of a Dodge cant be a Cuda  and a Cuda has to be Plymouth, etc etc.  So, all the nay-sayers and purists can also hold their distain - I know it's a Dodge Challenger and will always be titled as such.  I love the Dodge Challenger, I love the Special editions including the YellowJacket, but I also love the Cuda concept added.  If this bothers you - I don't need schooling on why it's not a Plymouth, or what isnt correct about it.  I believe this is a pretty darn good nod to the Cuda, that is all.....

DO NOT miss out on this opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind - yes, there are some conversions out there (every one of them I've seen are only 5.7 R/T Hemi conversions...BUT, this is an SRT....and a 392 SRT....and a special edition to boot!!), but I spent alot of time, sweat equity and of course money putting this together.  Will work with transporters to deliver to your door, and would be happy to work with exporters for International buyers.  Good Luck!

Work at a Chrysler dealership, get free college education

Mon, May 4 2015

The cost of a college education in the US can put a student tens (hundreds, in some cases) of thousands of dollars into debt. FCA US wants to give its dealership employees a leg up, though, and the automaker is now offering a completely free education to them through a partnership with Strayer University. The workers can take any of the college's classes online or on campus through program called Degrees@Work. Currently, the offer is only available to employees Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat dealers in the automaker's Southeast region, which includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. However, a national expansion will happen before the end of the year, Strayer spokesperson Cristina Henley tells Autoblog. The program will cover all of the students' expenses, including their books, according to Henley. FCA US sees this partnership as a way to improve the talent of its workforce, retain employees longer and possibly attract people wanting to take advantage of this free education. "Many of our dealers have expressed concern over the availability of talent to fill open positions due to business growth and turnover in their stores, especially in metro markets," Al Gardner, the company's Head of Dealer Network Development, said in the Degrees@Work announcement. Strayer has about 40 programs available, including in business administration, accounting, marketing, and more, and the university offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. It will also give FCA US employees credit for their work experience to get them a diploma even more quickly. FCA US Dealers to Offer Employees No-Cost, No-Debt College Education FCA US teams with Strayer University to develop first-of-its-kind dealer program Degrees@Work program open to all employees of participating dealerships Employees can earn no-cost, no-debt degree through Strayer University All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships may participate First phase of program rollout begins with dealers in the FCA US Southeast Business Center National rollout expected later this year May 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Employees of Chrysler, JeepĀ®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships will have the unique opportunity to earn a no-cost, no-debt college degree through Strayer University's Degrees@Work program, developed in collaboration with FCA US LLC. FCA US is the only company in the automotive industry to offer the program.

Chrysler says its 8-speed transmissions will save 700 million gallons

Thu, Jun 19 2014

Chrysler Group's TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission could be earning some serious green bragging rights if the company's projections are correct. The recently widely proliferated automatic gearbox, which is now in more than a million vehicles around the world, is poised to save drivers an estimated 700+ million gallons of fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes (an expected cost savings of $2.5 billion). In addition, Chrysler expects a reduction in CO2 emissions by more than six million metric tons. According to Chrysler, and depending on the vehicle, the TorqueFlite can improve fuel economy. The TorqueFlite autobox features particularly close ratios from fifth to eighth gear (see the press release below for the specific numbers), and uses low-viscosity fluid that doesn't need to be replaced. Transmission software adapts to the driving situation to optimize efficiency based on driver behavior, temperature, grade, stability control, and longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. As evidenced by the wide range of vehicles Chrysler Group has seen fit to equip with the eight-speed transmission, the TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. Since its 2012 introduction, the TorqueFlite has gone from performing cog-swapping duties in Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 to changing gears in vehicles such as the Pentastar- and Hemi-powered Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and even the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. For the 2015 model year, the eight-speed is finding its way into even more vehicles with the addition of a third version. In addition to the American-made TorqueFlite 845RE and 8HP70, the new 8HP90 will be manufactured in Saarbrucken, Germany. The 8HP90 is designed for higher torque loads, making it ideal for high-performance vehicles like the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The already-in-use 8HP70 will expand its duties to be used in 2015 Hemi models such as the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Challenger SRT8. You can see the list of those benchmarks in Chrysler's press release below.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
