Real R/t, Not A Clone, All Original Sheetmetal, 4 Speed on 2040-cars

ONE OF ABOUT 1100 FACTORY 440 FOUR SPEEDS BUILT
I restored this beautiful Coronet R/T to original condition. Its a real deal R/T that is as solid and reliable as any late model car. Not a show car, this car is ready for the road but it wont take much to bring it up to the next show level. This is the best color combination and everywhere it goes, it gets compliments and always draws a crowd at car shows. The paint is basecoat/clearcoat TT1 medium green metallic with the correct dual band bumblebee stripe that has been painted on. It also has a new Legendary vinyl top that looks great. It comes with a set of Wheel Vintiques 15" Magnum 500s on BFG Radials with about 5000 miles on them, not the Keystones in the pictures. The interior of the car is also new from Legendary including seat covers, door panels and carpet. Everything works. The original 440 has 906 heads with some port work, a vintage Edelbrock TM7 intake, a Holley 870 Street Avenger carb, an older DC .509 purple shaft cam, an 8 qt Milodon oil pan, a Mopar chrome box ignition and headers with a new exhaust. All of the original parts come with it. It runs strong but getting tired and could probably use some freshening up. The transmission is an 18 spline "Hemi crash box" 4 speed with a Dana 60 rear with 3.54 gears, all factory installed and documented. I put a new Centerforce clutch in it recently. Manual steering and brakes. This is a real deal musclecar without the fluff. It came without a console from the factory but I have a correct green console that is available separately. The car also came with power windows from the factory but have been retrofitted with easier to use and find parts for crank-up windows. Every panel on the car is the original from the factory. There are some holes in the trunk floor but does not need an entire new floor to properly repair it. That is the only rust on the car and I mean it. The chrome is all there and could use some detailing. I removed the chrome rocker moldings because I like the cleaner look without them but they come with the car with new clips if you wish to reinstall them. I have owned this car since 2001 and representing it the best I can. The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction anytime. This is an auction and I will not reveal the reserve. |

What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
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.
