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.

7 major automakers to build open EV charging network
Wed, Jul 26 2023A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not. "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche. In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure. "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014
Mon, Dec 22 2014With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.
