1968 Dodge Charger R/t Hardtop 2-door 7.2l on 2040-cars
|
This is a 68 Charger RT tribute, it is not an original RT car. It was originally a red 383 automatic car. It currently has a 440 stroked to 500CI putting out 590HP on pump gas. The engine has had extensive work (crank,pistons,cam,heads). Compression is right at 10.9:1, hydraulic roller lifters, 850 CFM Proform carb with mechanical secondaries. I have installed an MSD ignition with a 2 step (for future trans brake) and billet distributor. The tranny is a race built 727 Manual valve body with a Cheetah shifter. All front bushings are new. The rear end was mini tubbed (professionally done looks excellent), Art Morrison back half with ladder bar setup, 8 3/4 rear end with 391 Suregrip. Front disc brakes (power), bucket seats, new custom upholstery, new window cranks, new mirrors, new LED tail lights, new side markers, new HID headlights (w/ballast), new engine harness, custom front spoiler, working vacuum hide away headlights, new front and rear bumpers, new stock valve covers, new 10MM spark plug wires, new 17" Magnum wheels with new rubber (305 Mickey Thompson's in the rear), new hood blinker lights, aluminum radiator, trans cooler, new air filter, TTI headers, gas tank sump, 3 inch turn down exhaust w/single chamber Flowmaster mufflers, new ignition switch.
The paint is about 3 years old. It is a Black metallic and shows very well. It has flat back bumble stripes. The car was built to look mostly stock but is anything but. I have not taken it to the track but I have taken many other cars and this car will run high to mid 6's on pump gas driving it to the track. Although with a 391 gear and an 850 carb it drinks like a fish. Currently.....today. The dash is out, I am refacing the gauges, replacing the ignition switch. I am confident the car will be completed this weekend, long before the auction concludes. This car sounds pretty wicked, and runs like a monster, as a 1968 Charger should. I am sure I have left some things out but you have a pretty good description of the car. All the things listed as new were done within the last 4 months. The engine was professionally built and tuned. I have been working on this Charger for about 6 months and here is what I have done and what needs to be done: |

Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts
Tue, 08 Jul 2014When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
Stellantis reports surprising 2020 results, is 'off to a flying start'
Wed, Mar 3 2021MILAN — Low global car inventories and cost cuts should boost Stellantis's profit margins this year, though a shortage of semiconductors and investments in electric vehicles could weigh on results, the newly-formed automaker said on Wednesday. The forecast came as Stellantis, created by the January merger of Peugeot-maker PSA and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), reported better-than-expected results for 2020 that sent its shares up around 3% in morning trading. "Stellantis gets off to a flying start and is fully focused on achieving the full promised synergies (from the merger)," Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said in a statement. Stellantis is the world's fourth largest carmaker, with 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati. It said 2021 results should be helped by three new high-margin Jeep vehicles in North America and a strong pricing environment there. The U.S. market has driven profits for years at FCA and starts off as the strongest part of Stellantis. The group's guidance assumes no more significant lockdowns caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which shuttered auto plants around the world last spring. Stellantis should also get a lift as its starts to implement a plan aimed at delivering over 5 billion euros a year in savings, without closing any plants. Tavares has also pledged not to cut jobs. But a pandemic-related global shortage of semiconductors, used for everything from maximizing engine fuel economy to driver-assistance features, could hurt business. Auto industry executives have said the shortage should ease by the second half of 2021. Stellantis said its "electrification offensive" could also weigh on results this year. Automakers are racing to develop electric vehicles to meet tighter CO2 emissions targets in Europe and this week Volvo joined a growing number of carmakers aiming for a fully-electric line-up by 2030. Stellantis plans to have fully-electric or hybrid versions of all of its vehicles available in Europe by 2025, broadly in line with plans at top rivals such as Volkswagen and Renault-Nissan, although Stellantis has further to go to meet that goal. The carmaker is targeting an adjusted operating profit margin of 5.5%-7.5% this year. That compares with a 5.3% aggregated margin last year: 4.3% at FCA and 7.1% at PSA excluding a controlling stake in parts maker Faurecia, which is set to be spun-off from Stellantis shortly.
2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
