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.
landspeedrecordrocketcar.com
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.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon
Fri, 23 May 2014This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
Dodge Grand Caravan, Journey no longer available in the California emissions states
Fri, Feb 28 2020The Dodge Grand Caravan and the Dodge Journey are no longer available for sale in California or any of the states that follow its emissions standards (often referred to as the ZEV states). As reported by Allpar.com, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 in the Grand Caravan does not meet those emissions standards for 2020, and evidently neither does the 2.4-liter four-cylinder that is the sole engine offering in the Journey this year. The Pentastar V6 used in other Dodges, Chryslers and Jeeps is an updated unit that does not face the same emissions issues. The 2020 model year already was due to be the last for the Grand Caravan, which is being replaced in the lineup by a lower-priced and lower-spec version of the Chrysler Pacifica called the Chrysler Voyager. Production of the Grand Caravan at FCA's Windsor, Ontario factory is reportedly due to end in May. As for the Journey, that model has exceeded its sell-by date and is the oldest entrant in its class. The vehicle was introduced as a 2009 model, and not has seen major revisions in the 11 years since. For 2020, Dodge has cut the Journey model lineup to just two trim levels: SE Value and Crossroad (dropping the SE and the GT), and it's front-wheel drive only. But the Journey could continue — in some states at least — into the 2021 model year. Rumors of its replacement, with a sportier model based on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, don't have it arriving until 2022 or so.
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.
