Built by the famous Barry White and crew of Barry's Speed Shop SRRC in Corona, CA and
Ron Jenkins of Magnumforce Race Car Fabrication who are both very well known for quality craftsmanship.
During the build, Rikki Rockett of the 80's rock band "Poison" autographed the center console and the name Poison Dart was born.

Barry started the transformation with a discarded 1969 Dart from Nevada with a solid, rust-free body that was stripped, blocked and painted a beautiful House of Kolor "molly orange" with a matte black hood/scoop and trunk stripe. Barry called on Ron Jenkins to personally install one of his custom designed tubular a-body k-member, front shock perch braces and sub frame connectors before installing a Mopar Performance 472ci modern day HEMI under the hood.

Here's a list of some of the parts in the build...

QA1 adj front and rear shocks with front coil-overs handle suspension duty

Hot Rod Air A/C (concealed in glove compartment)

AM/FM Digital Radio w Remote (concealed in glove compartment)

Flaming River Steering Column w Rack and Pinion Power Steering

ABS Hydraulic Boosted Power Brakes - never a hard pedal (hidden in driver's wheel well)

Baer Calipers with 14" Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors

Currie Enterprises Dana 60 axle with very streetable 3.50 posi-gears

Built 727 (900hp capable) w 9' billet 3,200stall converter

Gear Vendors Overdrive (control board concealed in center console slide door)

472ci HEMI with Twin 650 Edelbrock Thunder AVS 4 Barrel Carbs

Custom "blue printed" Distributor

"Mooneyes" Tach, Oil, Temp and Volt Gauges

18" front and 19" rear custom Magnum wheels

Pirelli P-Zero 225/40-18 Front and Nitto NT05 275/35-19 Rears (95% tread remaining)


Sold by Barry's Speed Shop at the Russo and Steele auto auction to the sole owner since the build whom I purchased it from last year. In addition to the "filmed" $66,000 auction price, the previous owner spent an additional $14,000 by upgrading many of the off-the-shelf parts such as the exhaust with a fully hand welded work of art which included custom welded jet-hot coated headers, 3" custom welded stainless pipes with Magnaflow x-pipe and polished mufflers which not only looks awesome but sounds grrrreat and tucked up very nicely. He also added a much appreciated Gear Vendors Overdrive unit for effortless highway travel, cleaned up all the wiring, added subtle but necessary exterior touches and finally a set of Mooneyes tach, oil, volts and temp gauges.

Since I've owned it, I spent many hours and approximately $7,500 perfecting an already close to perfect build. Most notably, the stock 727 torqueflight and B&M street converter were not up to the task. I chose Pat Barrett of Level 10 performance transmissions to custom rebuild the 727 to a "bullet-proof" 900hp capable unit with a brand new 9" billet 3,200 stall converter and properly timed solenoids that always choose the perfect gear.

Last but not least, I'm very particular about a clean and crisp throttle response so I contacted Hemi Specialist, John Arruzza who jetted and flowed a brand new pair of Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650cfm carbs specifically for my application as well as a fully blueprinted distributor. The end result is a crisp throttle response and excellent light to heavy throttle transition that's smooth and precise.

All this labor and attention to detail translates to a truly "turn key" custom built “Super Muscle Car” with all the top of the line parts, modern day comforts and the high quality fit and finish one expects from a “one off” custom muscle machine of this caliber and price point forever immortalized on film!

I have numerous magazines that feature the Poison Dart as well as the original framed hand drawn rendering with the autographs of all those involved in the build as well as a DVD of the episode and a vender presentation sign for car shows that goes with the sale.

I personally have over $60k invested in the Dart to get it to this point so please no $20k low ballers.

Is America's last cheap minivan worth it?

Wed, Dec 16 2015

Take a good look at this beauty. Because once she's gone there may be no turning back. The minivan market has been completely decimated over the past fifteen years. I could list all the former brands (dead and alive) that once formed the lynchpin of parenthood for this inherently conservative market. But that would involve at least fourteen commas, three sets of parentheses, and possibly even one 2000s-style recount. Back then, middle-class America loved these people-movers and even the well-to-do were glad to load them up with unique luxuries such as power sliding doors, captain's chairs, integrated child seats, and DVD players that entombed cacophonous kids into a temporary silence. Back in the '90s, the minivan market regularly realized well over a million sold units a year. In 2000, minivans finally hit their familial peak of 1.4 million vehicles in a year with the help of two top-20 bestsellers: the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country. Today the minivan just isn't popular. This year it'll likely represent only a half-million in annual sales, with not a single minivan hitting America's top 30 in overall volume. But as I always tell folks, "If you want a deal, you have to hit 'em where they ain't." So you want a cheap and affordable minivan for cash money that isn't a 15-year-old Plymouth in purple? Does it have to be new? Really? Well, if you're married to that type of person, this Grand Caravan with the American Value Package is the cheapest thing going. Deals can also be had on the mini-minivan Mazda5, but since it's been discontinued due to low demand, let's focus on the still-popular Chrysler minivan. The cost for this 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan according to TrueCar is right around $19,500 depending on where you live in the USA. But let's take a look at the 2015 models instead since they tend to have even stronger discounts during the wintertime thanks to manufacturers and dealers who are busy shoveling out all this older inventory. If you opt for a 2015 model instead, you're looking at a market price right around $17,800 and luckily these minivans are still sitting in multitude. Wanna click those rebate and incentive buttons? If you currently lease or finance a FIAT or Chrysler product, have AAA coverage, and finance the car with FCA, you can make off like the proverbial bandit for a price of only $15,229 before the dealer inflicts their bogus fee money dance.

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand

Thu, May 14 2015

Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.
