I have my 1941 Dodge project up for auction. I have invested nearly 15K up to this point, having everything professionally fabricated by Karl Lampkin of LA Automotive.
To this point I have created a pro stock chassis with a 79 Camaro front clip, and hand built tube to the rear to accommodate the narrowed 9 inch rear end with a 411 limited slip ratio. There are new Wildwood disks all around, rolling on brand new Mickey Thompsons mounted on Weld rims. Every busing has been replaced on the front. It is set up for a sb chevy motor, which I do not have, but does include a fresh 400 turbo transmission with a new 3200 stall converter.
It has been chopped 6 inches and channeled to sit low, and the new floor pans and wheel tubs hand fabricated to include the trans tunnel and lower stance. I have installed a steering column from a 76 Firebird that has the removable steering wheel, along with tilt and no column shift.
I also replaced the stock gauges with new Dolphin gauges surrounded by aluminum billet, have two Riccardo bucket seats.
Everything will be included with sale, again this hotrod still needs finishing: plumbing, wiring, pedals, engine and radiator.
This will make an excellent one-of-a-kind, I have never seen one like it, plus it is built rite - no shorts or shade tree mechanics here.
I have it painted satin black, it is not 100 percent perfect but almost all of the original metal is there with minimal body filler. In other words, there are still some small imperfections in the body here and there.
I understand that I will never get the money invested back, and will entertain serious offers, but please don't waste my time with and low-balling.
At the end of the auction, the winning bid will need to make contact within 24 hours of the close, provide a PayPal deposit, and the rest will be settled in CASH before picking up the truck.
Buyer is to arrange own shipping, plus be responsible for all costs. I will be willing to assist with the arrangements.
Have clear title in hand.

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
