Here's the holly grail for Stealth fans - 1991 RT twin turbo Dodge Stealth convertible made by the famous R.Straman Company of Costa Mesa, CA. The convertible conversion alone cost $14K in 1991, which pushed the total cost of the car when it was new to over $45K. This car is one of an estimated 24 turbo Stealth convertibles made by Straman. Full power top with a matching boot cover. A red with black top Straman convertible was featured in the 8/91 issues of both Road&Track and Automobile, both magazines come with the car. Straman added considerable structural reinforcements to the car, which are detailed in the magazine articles. I further supplemented it with front & rear strut bars. The car is still perfectly aligned with absolutely no body sag, the doors close & latch easily with a gentle one finger push. It is smooth as glass on the highway at 80 mph with the top down!
I'm its 3rd owner, I bought it in 2001 with 47K miles on it. It now has 69K. The drivetrain is bone stock - right down to the air filter. Full 60K timing belt service done 6 years ago by a certified Mitsubishi master tech. I've always run synthetic oil, and all fluids in the trans and rear are proper synthetic GL4 and GL5. The transfer case was replaced under factory recall about 10 years ago. Drive line center carrier bearing replaced a few years ago. Runs strong and shifts smooth like it should with no issues. It does not leak any fluids. The ECS struts are all in good condition, and it can still be switched between Sport and Touring modes. The only idiot light on is the one for low windshield washer fluid.
Custom red and black interior. All seats are in excellent condition with no worn spots or tears. It has the usual cracked defroster vents. It does not have the usual bubbles in the interior door panels - both are perfect. Some of the fabric on the inside of the windshield header and pillars is looking a little dated. All gauges, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and climate control all function properly. Three of the 4 factory chrome wheels are near perfect, one (rear passenger side) has slight curb rash (see photo). Michelin Pilot tires are all wearing evenly and have lots of tread left. I just had it professionally detailed. The detail shop repaired a large scratch over the rear driver's side wheel, and got a little overspray in a small section of that tire's tread. They also removed most of the black crinkle paint off the engine front valve cover. It is a 22 year old car that is driven semi-regularly, so it is not perfect.
Radio and in-dash 6 CD changer are from a newer Mits Eclipse, so the steering wheel audio controls do not work. Kenwood amp mounted behind one of the rear seats cranks up the Infinity speakers nicely.
Car is solid and mechanically sound to drive anywhere. I drive it to Seattle once a year (200 mile round trip on I-5) without any problems.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k
Wed, 16 Jul 2014We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.
Man hits 153 mph on I-75 in Dodge Magnum
Tue, May 19 2015A man driving in Michigan took his 2005 Dodge Magnum practically to the limit in the wee hours of the morning on May 19 when the Michigan State Police caught him on radar going 153 miles per hour on Interstate 75 near Detroit. The 21-year-old driver was spotted around 3:00 AM, according to The Detroit News. Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Michael Shaw told Autoblog that officers initially saw the man on radar doing 79 mph in a 70-mph-zone, and they started following him. He eventually clocked 153 mph. However, First Lt. Shaw was clear that there was never a pursuit. "Speeding isn't necessarily a reason to put the public at risk," he said. The situation ended rather abruptly, though. The driver pulled off the interstate and behind a building. He remained in the vehicle, and police arrived and arrested him. According to First Lt. Shaw, the man was driving home from work and alcohol wasn't a factor. The Magnum has been impounded, and the driver was charged with reckless driving. Unfortunately, First Lt. Shaw said that he didn't know what engine was in the wagon, but as enthusiasts, we're curious. After all, the 2005 Magnum RT was governed to 130 mph and the SRT8 wasn't unleashed until 2006, which means either the wagon must've been derestricted to hit such high speeds or that police have the year wrong. We'll let you know if we figure that one out...
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
