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.

The Fate of the Furious music video shows how much Demons love donuts

Fri, Mar 3 2017

The new Dodge Demon is leaking into everything related to The Fate of the Furious in the lead-up to both the car and the film's debut in just over a month. The latest teaser involves Demons doing donuts and burnouts in the Get Off music video, with copious amounts of both tire smoke and hip hop to accompany the tire-shredding shenanigans. It also gives us a look at some of the film's other cars. Get Off is a song by Travis Scott, Quavo, and Lil Uzi that's featured on The Fate of the Furious soundtrack, which is out now. The teaser for the music video features a pack of Dodge Challengers - both Demon and non-Demon spec - along with a line of non-SRT related products. From what we can see, the movie will have a Scion FR-S/Toyota 86, a highly modified C2 generation Chevrolet Corvette, and a Mercedes-AMG GT S. In typical over-the-top fashion, the final shot shows a submarine bursting through ice in pursuit of several cars, including a Subaru WRX. We can't see much else as the full music video hasn't been released, but expect a few more teasers once it does. The Fate of the Furious debuts Friday, April 14, just days after the Dodge Demon's debut at the New York Auto Show.

Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D in Motor Trend Head 2 Head battle

Thu, Apr 30 2015

One 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.

Angry teen drives Ram pickup into Walmart after argument with girlfriend

Fri, Jun 29 2018

Caleb Wilson, a 19-year-old from Eldoarado, Texas, went shopping with his 18-year-old girlfriend at the Walmart in San Angelo, Texas, just after midnight Thursday morning. Wilson and his girlfriend apparently got into an argument that they carried into the parking lot after leaving the store. A female bystander, concerned for the girlfriend, went outside and convinced the girl to go back into the Walmart. Wilson waited in his 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup just outside the store. When the woman and the girlfriend went outside a little later to see if Wilson had left, Wilson hit the gas and drove into the Walmart, trying to run the two women over. Just as police arrived, Wilson turned his truck around and sped out. He crossed the parking lot, colliding with a parked, unoccupied Toyota Camry, and finally came to a stop at a Murphy USA gas station at the edge of the lot. Police noticed fuel leaking from the Ram, and another bystander noticed sparks from something dragging along the asphalt. Police got Wilson out of the truck, after which he briefly resisted arrest, then took Wilson to the hospital for mental health evaluation, where he remains. Police believe he was under the influence of an intoxicant. Incredibly, neither the women nor any of the store's customers were hurt. That wasn't for lack of trying on Wilson's part, though - the teenager rammed his way past the bakery, produce, frozen food and canned veggies sections before finally reaching the cereal aisle. One shopper said she heard screaming and was sure there was a gunman in the store, before realizing it was a man in a vehicle. Wilson stopped two aisles away from where the shopper hid. Another customer said Wilson spent several minutes burning rubber inside the store, as store employees helped customers hide and get out. Security cameras caught the rampage, and San Angelo police estimate he did $500,000 in damage. Wilson has been charged with suspicion of first degree felony criminal mischief and two counts of aggravated assault with deadly weapon. Repair crews worked overnight to fix the damage. After "an employee pep talk," the Walmart opened again at 9:30 am. Related Video: News Source: Go San Angelo Auto News Weird Car News Dodge RAM Truck Videos dodge ram 2500
