Time to sell my baby to fund a kitchen and bath remodel. I performed a frame off retro-restoration in
2007. I started the project in 2005 as
just an engine change but it morphed into a total restoration. I wanted a daily driver and did just that for
3 years. Now I take it out on sunny days
and to car shows. Except for a few very
tiny rock chips, it looks as good as it did when finished. Of course, the underside is not quite as
clean but still nice. The engine is a 2004 5.7 Hemi with a 545RFE 5 speed
auto. The driveshaft is an aluminum unit
from Inland Empire. There were 7200
miles on the engine and 1000 miles on the trans when I installed them. I have since put about 35,000 miles on the
truck. The rear end is an 8 3/4 with
rear wheel disc brakes. Everything in it
was brand new, except for the housing itself, at the time of the
restoration. As for the interior, the headliner has been replaced with
new and better material and looks just as original. The Shelby's only came with bench seats so I
replaced it with Dakota bucket seats for safety and comfort. I acquired some original, unused Shelby
material and had the center inserts done so as to look original. The original bench seat will go with the
truck. The dash is now all digital. The original dash mask was used so the layout
looks factory. The original inside rear
view mirror was replaced with a self dimming unit including a
temperature/compass display. All glass
was replaced with new. The rear sliding
window was replaced with a one piece for a cleaner look. The original slider goes with the sale. Outside, I took the body completely down to bare metal and undercoated it with DP40 primer before sending it to the shop for new paint. Coming from California, it has never had any rust. Shelby's only came in white and red. This one was white but I wanted something a little more modern and classy so it is now 2006 Lexus Artic Frost pearl white. It is a factory color for easy match in the event repairs should be needed in the future. Everything I could still buy from the factory was replaced. Outside mirrors, grille, taillamp housings, headlight bezels, etc. I still have the originals and they do go with the sale. The bed is covered with a white vinyl tonneau cover as well. Finishes off the look nicely. The inside of the bed was coated with Line-X to replace the stock plastic liner. In my opinion, a much better quality solution to bedlining. A great deal of thought and research went into wheel and
tire choice for the right look and stance.
The front tires are 215/70R16 and the rear are 255/60R17. The front end is lowered 2" with Bell
Tech spindles and the rear spring re-arch and 1" lowering blocks. I could go on and on and on but just too much to list. I have all receipts that total nearly
$40K. I know, I know. I got carried away but I was building it for
me and wanted everything as new and exactly as my mind had imagined. You can't buy anything Hemi powered this nice and unique for
what I am asking so don't let it get away.
Speaking of getting away, I have had it down the track a couple of times
and it has run a best of 13.51 at a tick over 100 mph. Not to bad while still getting as much as
20 plus mpg on the highway. The engine
is totally stock including the original hemi truck exhaust manifolds. With a little tuning, using a Diablo
Predator, I truly believe it will dip into the 12's with no loss of gas mileage
should you be so inclined. Don't hesitate to contact me for further information if you are seriously interested in buying. I invite you to come see it if you can and I promise you will not be disappointed. I am sure that I am forgetting some details but, again, contact me if you have any questions about the restoration or current condition. Thanks for looking.

2013 Dodge Dart GT offers subtle menace in compact form
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Dodge has already shared all of the relevant information about its all-new 2013 Dart GT, but it wasn't until now that we've seen the car, live and in person. The slightly meaner front fascia and bigger wheels look great on the Dodge, and the red-on-black perforated seats are sporting in an aftermarket sort of way.
To recap: The Dart GT also gets a bit more power, using a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine to make 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. A starting price of $20,995 will get you LED taillights, dual exhaust, an 8.4-inch touchscreen and a 7.0-inch TFT display.
Feel free to re-acquaint yourselves with the full Dodge Dart GT information in the press release below, or have a leisurely browse through our gallery of live images.
FCA recalling 63k Jeeps, Vipers and Ram ProMaster City vans
Thu, Apr 23 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced a pair of recalls cover nearly 63,000 vehicles. The bigger of the two actions covers manual-transmission-equipped vehicles from 2006, including the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler, as well as the Dodge Viper. FCA engineers uncovered that the clutch ignition interlock switches use a kind of wire that was part of a previous recall campaign. Because of this, the company said that affected vehicles may not start, although in rare cases, "if recommended starting procedures are not followed," the affected vehicles may lurch forward after turning the key. Those recommended starting procedures "include activating the parking brake, placing the shift lever in neutral and pressing the clutch pedal before turning the vehicle's ignition key." Recall number two affects the company's 2015 Ram ProMaster City cargo and passenger vans. Owners will need to report to dealers to have a piece of tape removed from the side-curtain airbags. The tape is added during assembly and in some cases, may not have been removed. That could prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Just under 59,000 vehicles are included in the first recall, including 43,874 in the United States, 11,309 outside of North America, 2,944 in Canada and 706 in Mexico. The ProMaster City recall includes just over 3,900 vehicles. FCA claims it's unaware of any injuries, fatalities or accidents related to either recall and will perform repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official press release on both campaigns. Related Video: Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch April 23, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary recall of an estimated 43,874 older-model U.S.-market cars and SUVs equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers that discovered these vehicles are equipped with switches that contain a certain type of wire implicated in a previous campaign. The wire, which was temporarily substituted by a supplier for the specified material, may break. As a result, the vehicles may not start, and in rare cases – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – a vehicle may exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. FCA US is unaware of aware of any related injuries or accidents involving this population of vehicles.
