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.

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
Will the Dodge Demon do a 10-second quarter-mile?
Fri, Apr 7 2017The final teaser for the Dodge Demon is finally here, and it might just give us a clue as to how quick the new car really is. A brief glimpse at a time slip shows what might be a 10-second quarter-mile time. That's a significant step up from the standard Hellcat's 11.7 seconds, but considering all of the Demon's modifications, it's not an unreasonable time. The new video, "Judgment Day," shows the new Demon in its natural habitat, a quarter-mile drag strip. There isn't much new information, aside from the brief glimpse at a time slip. There is a good shot of the car in action and some nice audio from what we assume is a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi. For comparison, the new 2016 Chevrolet COPO Camaro is capable of a 10.7-second quarter-mile run, while the 2016 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet dips all the way down into the 8s. The full reveal is less than a week away. Look for more information, including the long-awaited horsepower rating, next week during our coverage of the 2017 New York Auto Show.
