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: |

Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D in Motor Trend Head 2 Head battle
Thu, Apr 30 2015One has James Bond Mode, Insane Mode, Creep Mode, and, yes, Insane Creep Mode. The other has 707 horsepower and is a heck of a lot cheaper. But which one is the bigger American badass? We figure most people already have strong opinions on the Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D, and they aren't likely to be swayed too far in the opposite direction by another person's viewpoint. Still, we think you'll enjoy watching the video above. In it, Autoblog friend and Motor Trend "Head 2 Head" host Jonny Lieberman summons smoke, shares smiles, and spouts spiels about both cars, finally finding one just slightly more badass than the other. Which ridiculously ludicrous American sedan takes top honors? Watch above to find out.

Dodge Journey gets more SUV-like look with new Crossroad model
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Looking to play up its aging three-row crossover, Dodge will introduce a new model for its Journey franchise at next week's Chicago Auto Show. The 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad will be a new trim level positioned between the SXT and Limited, and it will be distinguished from other Journey models thanks to a handful of styling add-ons.
Plucking a page right out of the appearance playbook of the Ford Explorer Sport, the Journey Crossroad gets a meaner, more SUV-like demeanor. The Journey has often straddled the line between tall wagon and crossover, but this new trim goes a long way toward skewing its visuals toward the utility vehicle end of the spectrum. That's thanks largely to the Platinum chrome exterior trim on its roof rails and side sills, unique fascias, smoked headlights and taillights and, of course, those black 19-inch wheels. Inside, the Journey Crossroad will get a similar treatment, with darker, Liquid Graphite accents throughout the cabin, and the model will also come standard with leather seats (which Dodge says are a new design), and Chrysler's giant 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
The 2014 Journey Crossroad goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $24,995 (*not including $995 for destination) for the four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive model, but Dodge says that the model will also be offered with more power and capability from the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and all-wheel-drive. Scroll down for the full press release, and check back next week for our live coverage from Chicago.
Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set
Tue, Jul 19 2022Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
