Here's how it is:
This auction is for a Custom NASCAR Dodge Daytona Charger done in the Resto-Mod style.
The Car will be street-legal.
Anything is possible-
options can certainly be discussed.
The 1969 Dodge Daytona was the First Car to attain 200mph Lap Speed on a Closed-Course.
Dodge built only 503 of these cars so as to meet current NASCAR homologation rules at the time.
Mopar was working on Turbine engines for the street at the time.
Unfortunately,
these programs never converged.
So,
I am building The Car that they should have built.
Obviously,
Bill France could never have handled the Turbine Concept-
he was afraid of losing control to Detroit as it was and quickly killed off the Wing Cars.
This Car starts with a rust-free 1968 318 Charger.
The Nose is metal and trimmed in the NASCAR style.
The Wing is an AUTHENTIC Daytona Wing with matching authentic supports.
They are reinforced as were the original race cars.
The wheels are period-correct NASCAR wheels with Mickey Thompson high-speed street tires.
The doors will be welded shut&filled unless the customer prefers opening doors.
The rear window is done as Cotton Owens did-
it is flat glass.
The important part of the chassis the ultra-rare "2x2 Drop"-
is done as the Teams did then.
The torsion bars are custom-made and the cage&chassis structure are period correct to that era.
THIS IS AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET TO DRIVING A NASCAR RIDE FROM THE GLORY DAYS!
If you want a 426 Hemi(or bigger) that is certainly possible but will be extra.
Jet Turbines are essentially a Jet engine hooked up to a transmission.
Most commonly used in ALL serious helicopters,
they have also been used in numerous other applications,
including boats,ships,trains,trucks,planes,motorcycles,generators,pumps,compressors and....
CARS!
The engine that I have chosen is a Lycoming LTS-101,
the same engine used in Jay Leno's Eco-Jet car.
This one is faster because it is lighter and set to higher RPM's and a taller rear gear ratio.
I was centrally involved with building Jay Leno's Jet Bike
(AKA The Y2K)
please contact me for more information on this if you are interested.
The Lycoming makes more HP and Torque (and turns 9,500rpms on the output shaft!)
than the original race-prepped 426 Hemi's.
It is lighter(243lbs.) and has a Forward/Neutral/Reverse Daytona Marine gearbox.
This motor is multi-fuel and will run Jet A,Kerosene,Diesel,Bio-Diesel,etc.
The control system is very simple and drives like an automatic transmission.
NO radiator or fan!
I can go on to great lengths about the drivetrain and the heritage of this Car but I would prefer to discuss this with serious parties.
I AM SORRY BUT I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE HOW TO BUILD THE 2x2 Drop Chassis.
I will not help build counterfeit cars and pass them off as real.
I build these cars as Resto-Mod street/race cars and they are meant to be driven&raced-
NOT passed off as museum pieces.
There are almost NO NASCAR Wing Cars left.
Right now,
I want to finish and sell this car and produce composite bodies,reproduction aluminum Wings
AND
build a Winston Cup version full-tube chassis of these cars,street-legal,
to be made available with either
Pistons
OR
Turbines.
I will finish this Car,
regardless,
and the price goes up as she is completed.
The motorcycles sold for $185,000-
we built 17 of those.
This is a test-
NOT a distress sale.
Will trade for cash-
otherwise NO TRADES!
The pix show this car under construction,several famous vintage NASCAR Daytonas,
some boats that used this same engine that we built,
the motorcycle,the Turbine Outboard(which is also available)that features the same Jet Turbine engine as the motorcycle
and our Rocket Car.

The steering wheel for this car is almost 100 years old and is a Vintage Bonneville wheel
that started out in one of Henry's original Model T's.
Speaking of which,
The Car comes standard in any color you want...
as long as it is flat black.
Anything else will cost extra.
Personally,
as far as I am concerned,
custom paint is for trailer queens.
This is no trailer queen.
In 1971,
Charlie G. took one of the originals to 243mph at the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea,MI.
NO Turbo,
NO Supercharger,
NO Nitrous.
Just normally aspirated-
carbureted.
That's STILL Fast!
This Car is faster.

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.

Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
