******************************************************************************************

What we have for sale today is a rare piece of American Iron that was not considered part of the muscle car era, but really should be. This year is the only year that the Dart was a "B" body. I am selling this car for one of my customers. We performed quite a bit of work on the car but did not do the initial restoration. We are "KC's Classic Cars" in Bradenton, Florida and the restoration was done by "Mopars by Crane" in Bradenton, Florida in 2004. I have all of the restoration paperwork and our work orders over the years. There were 1962 Dodge's built with the 413 Max Wedge in the 2 door hardtop version and we think there may be one version in a convertible showing in a museum, from what the owner was told. He wanted to replicate that car and he achieved it with great success. I have lots of photos on our Facebook page: "KC's Classics" and please feel free to call us at any time (941-747-1800) or e-mail (buildkc@aol.com) to ask us any questions about the Dart. Mike (the owner) keeps her at our shop and cannot drive the car any longer. I could photo/video anything in question. I have tried to show any blemish in the paint. The hood does have a crack (1 inch long) in the paint (see photo) from where I think someone closed the hood on something. That looks like the only flaw that I see. All of the chrome looks good, with exception of the rear bumper (see photo) part of the chrome has rubbed through, and the rest of the chrome on the car just needs to be waxed. The other item is that the gas gauge does not work. The sending unit works fine (we checked it out). The gauge itself is not working. Everything else works, including the power top.

The specs on the engine, transmission, etc. is as follows:

1) 440 ci .030 = 446 ci

2) Forged steel crank 10/10

3) Cam-Hughes HEH4650BL, lobe lift .379 int, .384 exh, valve lift .606 int, .614 exh, duration 246 deg int, 250 deg exh @.050

4) Heads Casting Number 2406518, New Max Wedge Heads 5249824 valve size 214 intake, 181 exhaust, stainless

5) Pistons- TRW Speed Pro Forged # 2355F .030, Rings- Seal Power E424K .030, all balanced internally

6) 435 Stock Rods- reconditioned

7) 1.6 Roller Rockers, Hughes

8) Hold Downs, Hughes

9) Push Rods Custom Made, Hughes

10) Aluminum water pump and housing

11) Valve springs, Hughes # 1106

12) Mallory Unilite Distributor with cap and rotor

13) High torque starter

14) Cross Ram Intake Manifold

15) Engine torque strap

16) Milodon oil pan

17) Mopar dual master brake cylinder

20) Deep transmission oil pan

21) 9 1/2 inch torque converter

22) Transmission cooler

23) Rebuilt 3:55 posi unit

24) Torsion bars

25) Heavy duty frame connectors

26) Balanced driveline

27) Max Wedge ceramic coated exhaust manifolds, 3 chamber Delta-Flow Flowmasters Series 50 mufflers

28) Cragar SS 15x8 rears with spinner knock offs

29) Cragar SS 15x7 fronts with spinner knock offs

30) BFG T/A 275/50/15 rears

31) BFG T/A 225/60/15 fronts

32) Interior was all restored with added gauges

When Mike originally bought the Dart, it had 30,596 miles on it and was told they were correct. There was very little rust on the car that had to be addressed (floor pans).

So bid with confidence for an awesome piece of Americana and go cruising with the top down and trust me, when you open the hood at the car shows, jaws will drop when they see what is in there. Even when driving down the road I am constantly asked what year and make the car is. That's how rare they are! Gas mileage is not bad when cruising along on the highway! But this is not a daily driver, is it?

There is no warranty implied by us, KC's Classic Cars (we are not a dealer). We restore classic cars. We are helping our customer with the process. Check us out at kcsclassiccars.com. You are responsible for the pick up and delivery of the car. Please ask questions if you have any.

This is an auction and I will have a reserve. Please don't ask what the reserve is! This is a legal and binding auction, if you don't have the funds to bid, please don't waste anybody's time, especially mine. At the end of the auction the winning bidder will have 48 hours to put $500 into my Pay Pal account and the make arrangements to pay the balance and pick up the car. Thank you for bidding!

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.

Dodge Challenger returns to Trans Am

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.
Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that - it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.
The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.
