This is a rare low miles beast, much rarer and more desirable than the ’59 Caddie. You’ll be hard pressed to find one restored to such a high standard. I’ve looked and found only three for sale worldwide in any condition.
The ’59 Dodge has outrageous fins; they start at the doors and just keep climbing, only to be outdone by the four rocket-style taillights that point like flames behind the car. It’s longer, wider and more flamboyant that its predecessors and successors.
And this ‘59’s unique features extend to the interior too. The bench seats are clad in a one off cloth for 1959, with gold metallic thread woven through. It has an eye-catching ribbon speedometer, which starts off green, changes to yellow at 35mph and then to red at 50mph. The rear vision mirror is mounted vertically off the dash and of course, there’s the futuristic push-button automatic. The car is fitted with original NOS wheel spats and Custom Royal hub caps.
This car has been in Australia about 20 years; I’ve had her for about 8 years with two Aussie owners prior to myself. During her time in Australia, she’s only done a few thousand miles. When I bought her, the paint was intact but old - at best a good 20 footer - but the panels were dead straight and there was no rust, except for a spot on one sill. And there were no accident repairs.
The original interior fabric was and still is in amazing condition, no sign of wear, which supports the low miles on the odometer. I drove the car occasionally for a few years, typically a 50 mile return trip down the coast, but about 4 years ago, decided it was time she had a full body-on restoration. I have hundreds of photos before and after work was performed.
The work done on her includes a full strip followed with a two-tone 2-pak paint job in coral and rose-quartz, factory colours for 1959. All rear chrome work was re-done, and although the low miles motor was in good shape, it was fully rebuilt (receipted) including heads with hardened valve seats for ULP.
The huge power boosted drum 11 1/2 ” brakes have been recently serviced. The car has new rear shock absorbers. Other rubbers and bushes have been replaced where necessary. The master cylinder unit was replaced a few years ago.
In the cabin, the heater box and heater core were removed and serviced. The original chrome valve radio was repaired and works fine. It’s currently connected to two recessed speakers on the back dash and to the radio waves via twin rear aerials. I haven’t touched the instrument cluster or the dash as it’s in excellent condition.
The carpet was replaced with molded carpet from the US. The roof lining was replaced by a professional upholsterer with material sourced from the US. The boot’s fully carpeted and has a full spare wheel cover.
Because I’ve had two ’59 Dodge sedans and this ’59 2dr hardtop over the last 20 years, I’ve accumulated plenty of spares including a large assortment of brightware, including excellent Coronet hubcaps, various mechanical and electrical components, including an original rebuilt carburetor, distributor, spare ’59 Dodge valve radio, at least half a dozen taillights (still in boxes) and numerous other assorted items. I also have a full RHD dash and instrument cluster from an Australian delivered factory RHD. I also purchased original cloth fabric for the front seats, just in case. Please don’t call if you want parts. They stay with the car.
This car is not perfect, but it’s damned close. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on this car but it’s now time for someone else to enjoy the pleasure of owning this unique car.
When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper. Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis. Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away. Chrysler 2014: Refreshed 300/300C, debuting at Los Angeles Auto Show
With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days. First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard. Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.
