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.

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.

Special Dodge Challengers get Hellcat bits to celebrate Mopar's 80th birthday

Fri, Feb 10 2017

This year, Mopar is celebrating its 80th anniversary, and it's doing so in two-tone style with this very limited edition Dodge Challenger. Only 160 of these Challengers will be built, with 80 in each paint scheme. Buyers can choose between either Billet Silver or the slightly painful sounding Contusion Blue, each of which gets a hand-painted Pitch Black top half. These Challengers are based on the existing 392 Shaker package, but come with an array of upgrades and tweaks. In addition to the custom two-tone paint, the shaker scoop and rear spoiler are painted in the same color, rather than the usual matte black. The cars come with 20-inch wheels and hand-painted 392 logos on the fenders. The 392 cu. in., or 6.4-liter if you prefer, engine produces the same 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque as its normal counterpart. This Mopar Challenger will have more access to cold air, though, since it has both the shaker scoop and the headlamp intake from the Challenger Hellcat. At the back, there's also exhaust tips borrowed from the most hellish of Challengers. Or at least the most hellish, so far. View 14 Photos Inside, the changes are more minor. Performance seats are added with embroidered Mopar logos in the backrests. The seats and other trim also feature a silver-colored Tungsten stitching. Naturally, a serial number badge makes an appearance inside, too. Owners will also receive a little box of goodies including a booklet, signed rendering, keychain, additional badge, and a certificate showing the date of manufacture. The overall package is rather attractive, but it isn't cheap. To own one of the few Mopar Challengers, you'll have to fork over $56,885. That's a significant premium over the 392 Scat Pack Shaker, which starts at just $44,890 and makes just as much power. You'll also be able to get a 392 Scat Pack Shaker right away, while the Mopar special edition won't be out until spring. Plus, you may not get it until summer because the hand-painting process takes some time. Of course, for some people, the cost and the wait are worth the exclusivity.
