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.

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 gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.

Vin Diesel's Fast 8 Charger has fake jet power, sounds mean

Mon, Aug 1 2016

With filming for Fast 8, the eighth installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, well underway, we've gotten some sneak peeks into the actors' vehicles. Dominic Toretto, played by Vin Diesel, will once again get behind the wheel of a Dodge Charger. The Charger, which was revealed as Toretto's ride in Iceland, has been heavily modified and even features a jet turbine. Sadly, the turbine is purely cosmetic, but the sound from the car's V8 is glorious. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The videos, which were posted to Jadatoys Instagram account, capture the Charger's incredible sound when it starts, revs, and idles. While the V8 sounds amazing, there's no word on what engine lurks behind the Charger's hood. The previous vehicles from Furious 7 featured 500-horsepower V8 crate engines from General Motors, which may make another appearance in the upcoming film. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Despite being a prop, Fast 8's film crew will surely find a way to bring the turbine to life in the movie that, according to Diesel, will come out on April 14, 2017. If the movie is anything like previous ones, it should have over-the-top action and an incredible selection of cars. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
