1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer on 2040-cars
Springfield, Oregon, United States
Here's a car you don't see too often... a 1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer, 2-dr H/T. It is almost complete, but still a project. Here is the description: BODY: very straight, some patches of surface rust here and there. There is a small area under each tail light unit with some holes, as shown in close-up. All the trim is there, with the exception of the LANCER script on each front fender, and the DODGE script on hood. Some other trim pieces that don't appear in photos are in the trunk. The antenna is gone, though. This is a really solid car, in it's original gold & white 2-tone colors. One tail light needs a red lens - it has 2 clear ones. Chrome on front grill pieces is excellent. Bumpers are straight but OK, and need re-chromed. GLASS: Driver's side window is cracked, and windshield has some delaminating going on one side (see close-up) ENGINE: This V8 Red Ram is a 315 ci poly motor. It came from a '56 Dodge Royal donor car - it ran great when it was installed 3 years ago. Still needs linkage hooked up. Radiator has been rebuilt. I'm not sure about tranny, but the donor cars was a driver, so I'm sure it is OK. TIRES: they hold air - that's about it. INTERIOR: It needs totally redone. The original seat covers are still on seats. Door panels are good for patterns only. All door handles & window cranks are in a box. Dash looks pretty good too. I have 3 complete extra dashes, so if you need a part, I have it most likely. Floors have been patched; drivers side has new piece welded in, and the floor is covered in what looks like fiberglass painted silver...not sure what that process was. But it feels solid. No headliner, but bows are in trunk. Trunk has one area of rust holes on left, as shown in close-up. The bottom of the spare tire well is even solid! This would make a really great project - it's all there and solid. Unfortunately there is no title to this car. It has Oregon license plates from 1956, ( 8E 1233) and the DMV shows nothing on record; it's been out of the loop a long time. I will provide Bill of Sale. Arranging transport is buyer's responsibility, but I will help on this end, such as towing it to a pick-up area. Any questions feel free to call or email me: (Terry) 541-726-8467 eves PST Good luck bidding! You won't be disappointed.... PS Several photos did not load properly; I can email them upon request

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
Consumer Reports says Ram 1500 tops fuel economy fight [w/video]
Wed, Aug 27 2014Consumer Reports takes its independent vehicle testing procedures seriously. In an era when we have to question the EPA's official ratings thanks to recent re-evaluations from Ford and Hyundai, an independent voice is important. So, when CR says something is the best, it's worth paying attention to. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV." – Jake Fisher In this case, CR took a look at the fuel economy of the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and found that it came out on top of the fullsize pickup truck pack. The Ram did so with 20 miles per gallon overall and 27 mpg on the highway. CR gave the truck a total road test score of 82. The EPA says that the EcoDiesel 1500 gets 28 mpg on the highway, 20 mpg city and 23 mpg combined. Comparing official EPA numbers, the Ram is also the best among trucks in its class. It's nice when people agree on something. As we know from first-hand, long-distance experience, you can push the 1500 EcoDiesel to 38 mpg. CR found in its own testing that the truck had, "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV," said Jake Fisher, CR's director of automotive testing, in a statement. Speaking of midsized SUVs, CR also announced this week that the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid got the top spot in CR's ratings in that category. CR liked pretty much everything about the SUV, saying that the "transitions between electric power and the gas engine are seamless" and that, "the new Highlander also handles better, with a steadier ride and reduced body lean in corners."
