1968 Charger R/T, 426 Hemi - This is a very rare car, possibly one-of-a-kind. I purchased this car in early 1997 with 27,000 miles on the odometer - the odometer now reads just a little over 41,000. Car was built September 6, 1967, in Hamtramck, MI. Since VIN numbers were not stamped on blocks prior to '68, there is no VIN number on this block - it is, however, date code correct and all paperwork indicates it is the original block (see picture). Color is burgandy metallic (RR1) with a black interior - one of 211 Hemi 4 speeds.

Car was restored in 1990 by Chuck Pierce Restorations in New Hampshire, who also owned the car at one time. I purchased the car from a private owner in Minnesota. This car is rare because it was a complete option delete order other than shoulder harnesses - stripe delete, radio delete, no console, no power brakes, steering or windows, no vinyl top, etc. The shoulder harnesses indicate the car was probably originally purchased to run on the track. The fender tag was decoded by Galien Govier several years ago, which verified the originality of the car.

Although a 1990 restoration, the body and paint are in excellent condition - all sheet metal is original with no patches. Since this is a street driven car, not a trailer queen, it had a few, very small paint chips that I have recently had professionally repaired - receipts available. I also replaced the carpet several years ago & it is still in excellent condition.

In Dec. 08, I had the engine rebuilt by Best Machines, Farmington Hills, MI, using only the highest quality parts and at a cost of over $11,000. All new internal parts including: Eagle 4.15" Stroker crank and H-beam rods; Mopar 4.290" bore pistons giving it a final displacement of 479 cubic inches; new, custom ground Competition Cams, camshaft with hydraulic lifters; new Ferrea valves and bronze guides also installed with hardened valve seats to run on regular, unleaded gas; new Competition cams double valve springs with Moly retainers and 10 degree locks; Rollmaster billet timing gear and roller chain; original dual point distributor rebuilt and recurved for mechanical advance only; original intake and dual 625 cfm Carter AFB carbs rebuilt and Dyno-jetted; Flow cooler high volume water pump; Melling high volume oil pump; Mopar Performance windage tray and original 6 qt. oil pan; original rocker arms refaced, Magnafluxed and shafts polished; new reproduction ignition parts include spark plug wires (correct date code), coil, distributor cap, wire separators, voltage regulator, starter relay, ignition switch, alternator and hi-torque starter; new, after market 850 CCA battery will start this car no matter how cold or hot; and finally, factory exhaust manifolds with new 2 1/2" X-pipe exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and factory tips. Flywheel face correctly center ground on face; Centerforce dual friction clutch, pressure plate, roller pilot bearing and throw out bearing - this clutch has a light pedal pressure while retaining the ability to hold an extreme amount of torque. Reconditioned, original Hurst shifter. Fresh lube in the A-833 18 spline 4 speed transmission and Dana 60 rear (unsure of gear ratio; original ratio was 3.54:1).

This engine retains a completely stock and factory appearance externally, but is actually a 479 c.i., 505 hp, 536 ft. lb. torque giant. Car is completely streetable and has less than a thousand miles on it since total rebuild.

Wheels are 15x7 Magnum 500's; tires are Goodyear Aquatread: rear P225 70 x 15; front P215 70 x 15.

Heavy duty 11" drum brakes all around with all new hardware including shoes and wheel cylinders.

All receipts and documentation from the engine rebuild are available, as well as dyno test records - please disregard 2006 date on engine pictures; I failed to change the date on the camera - rebuild began in '08 & was completed in '09. Also have original build sheet, reproduction window sticker, sales brochure, fender tag information from Galien Govier, a few 1990 restoration pictures, original factory keys and other miscellaneous receipts/documents.

Inspection by appointment is welcomed. Please ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose my reserve, so please don't ask. Buyer is responsible for all costs related to pick up and/or shipping/delivery of vehicle. $1,000 non-refundable deposit required upon completion of auction.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.

Man hits 153 mph on I-75 in Dodge Magnum

Tue, May 19 2015

A 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...
