Hayes, Virginia, United States

ONE OF ABOUT 1100 FACTORY 440 FOUR SPEEDS BUILT

I restored this beautiful Coronet R/T to original condition.  Its a real deal R/T that is as solid and reliable as any late model car. Not a show car, this car is ready for the road but it wont take much to bring it up to the next show level.

This is the best color combination and everywhere it goes, it gets compliments and always draws a crowd at car shows.

The paint is basecoat/clearcoat TT1 medium green metallic with the correct dual band bumblebee stripe that has been painted on.  It also has a new Legendary vinyl top that looks great.  It comes with a set of Wheel Vintiques 15" Magnum 500s on BFG Radials with about 5000 miles on them, not the Keystones in the pictures. 

The interior of the car is also new from Legendary including seat covers, door panels and carpet.  Everything works.

The original 440 has 906 heads with some port work, a vintage Edelbrock TM7 intake, a Holley 870 Street Avenger carb, an older DC .509 purple shaft cam, an 8 qt Milodon oil pan, a Mopar chrome box ignition and headers with a new exhaust.  All of the original parts come with it.  It runs strong but getting tired and could probably use some freshening up.  The transmission is an 18 spline "Hemi crash box" 4 speed with a Dana 60 rear with 3.54 gears, all factory installed and documented.  I put a new Centerforce clutch in it recently.

Manual steering and brakes.  This is a real deal musclecar without the fluff.  It came without a console from the factory but I have a correct green console that is available separately.  The car also came with power windows from the factory but have been retrofitted with easier to use and find parts for crank-up windows.

Every panel on the car is the original from the factory.  There are some holes in the trunk floor but does not need an entire new floor to properly repair it.  That is the only rust on the car and I mean it.  The chrome is all there and could use some detailing.  I removed the chrome rocker moldings because I like the cleaner look without them but they come with the car with new clips if you wish to reinstall them.

I have owned this car since 2001 and representing it the best I can.

The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction anytime. 

This is an auction and I will not reveal the reserve.

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.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
