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.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
Car that screams on the street of dreams: Cruising Woodward in a Hellcat | AutoblogVR
Tue, Jun 6 2017If you love cars, you've probably at least heard of the Woodward Dream Cruise. Millions of people make the pilgrimage to Woodward Avenue with thousands of cars every year. Obviously the Dream Cruise is amazing, but you don't need to wait for the official Cruise to experience Woodward. In this episode of AutoblogVR, join Greg Migliore as he drives up and down the street of Dreams in a Dodge Charger Hellcat. Greg starts the drive by talking about how epic his chariot is. The Dodge Charger Hellcat has a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds and a price tag of only $65,945. Of course the Hellcat's true power couldn't be unleashed driving along the historic road, but that didn't dampen Greg's spirits. After all, driving on one of the first patches of paved road in America is a pretty great experience no matter how fast you're going. After giving a bit of a history lesson and explaining the significance of Woodward to the Hellcat specifically, we get to one of the best ways to experience Woodward - tracking down some of the best food! Greg pops in to his favorite pub and gives us a tour, but one pub is just the tip of the iceberg. With all of the culture along the 27-mile span, this road is a must-drive for any car enthusiast. But if you can't make it out, experiencing it in 360° VR is the next best thing. Each month, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll be posting them here on Autoblog, but for the best experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too! Dodge Coupe Performance Videos VR Original Video
