Up for Auction a 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 Magnum R/T With 727 transmission 22,800.00 Original miles. My friend and I went to look at this car approx 35 years ago with the idea that I was going to buy it, well it did'nt turn out that way, my friend Dennis wanted it so bad he begged me to let him buy it as he had a 1968 Dodge Charger that got totaled by a tree falling on it. so I let him have it. big mistake as Dinnes put the car in storage and never did anything with it. in the mean time he got sick and was unable to do anything with it. I keep trying to get him to sell it back to me but he just did not want to sell. anyway Dennis past on. His wife knew the whole story and sold me the car. It had approx 17,000 miles on it when Dennis got it and was in excellent condition, when I got the car it had 18, 443 miles and after sitting in storage 30 or so years it was in poor condition with dents, scratches, rust on lower right quarter panel and the hood and top were damaged due to storing junk on it. the right front fender had damage, no magor damage but enough to make you sick to your stomach. I was very dissapointed in the looks of the car, i was expecting to see the car like it was. He had taken the vinyl top part the way off and some of the trim. had some rust just below the rear window where the vinyl ended. Had to replace too small patch panals it was more surface rust, but replaced them anyway. I decited not to put the vinyl top back on but still have all the trim. after sitting for so long and not being started I was a little concerned. after cleaning the fuel tank and fuel lines I thought now or never, I removed the ignition wires and the engine turned over everything sounded normal hooked everything up and was very surprised that it started and ran pretty good, I felt like jumping up and down and I did, things were looking up. Curtis and I did all the body work, spent lots of time making sure it was straight. has all the original brakes, they look new and work like new. The interior has been replaced all new, and I kept the old interior with carpet and headliner, the old interior was ok just dirty looking. I put about 4,000 miles on it. it's a great driver and looks that will turn heads. has electronic ignition, new carburator and water pump. I have all the original parts wheels also. I have the build sheet. There were approx 2,100 built a 1 year only body style. You really got to see and drive this car to appreciate it. Dallas Richards was the original owner and still lives in Junction City, he would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Dallas purchased this car when he returned from Vietnam 1969 he said he got it for his wife she wanted something fast. the car is not perfect by any means. Not sure of rear end gears, all I know is that it's positrac and gets off the line fast. It's no interstate cruser. NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR WRITTEN, GIVEN Have any questions just ask wk_hoffman@yahoo.com

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Cars.com runs 11-second quarter with Dodge Charger Hellcat

Mon, Jun 1 2015

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its Challenger sibling are two of the heroes of the modern performance world. With a headline-grabbing 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, their output even shames many supercars. But how quick can one really cover a quarter mile? Cars.com recently decided to find out by taking a Charger Hellcat to the drag strip to see if the sedan lived up to Dodge's 11-second claims. The results were quite impressive. After 13 quarter-mile runs of adjusting variables like the tire pressures and the car's various electronic aids, the Charger Hellcat managed a pass in 11.03 seconds at 126.61 mph – the pinnacle result of the day. This car was mechanically stock and wore the optional Pirelli P Zero tires. According to Cars.com, other quick sprints reached 11.09 seconds and 11.1 seconds, which even beat the site's 11.41-second best from a Challenger Hellcat last year. Getting the Hellcat's prodigious power down without losing traction was a challenge, even on the summer tires. Cars.com thought it had a run that could have dropped below 11 seconds, but then the wheels spun. Using the factory-recommended pressures, the Charger Hellcat was no still slouch with an 11.27-second time recorded, but taking things down to 25 psi proved the quickest at the strip. We already knew that the Charger Hellcat was a wonderful vehicle for eating up huge gulps of asphalt at high speeds and could verify its 204-mile-per-hour top speed (quite a bit faster, incidentally, than the Ferrari California T's 196 mph top-speed). Apparently, the 11-second quarter-mile claim is just as accurate. Also, for any curious owners, the Cars.com story divulges many of the tweaks required to reach this seriously quick time.

Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.
