******************************************************************************************
What we have for sale today is a rare piece of American Iron that was not considered part of the muscle car era, but really should be. This year is the only year that the Dart was a "B" body. I am selling this car for one of my customers. We performed quite a bit of work on the car but did not do the initial restoration. We are "KC's Classic Cars" in Bradenton, Florida and the restoration was done by "Mopars by Crane" in Bradenton, Florida in 2004. I have all of the restoration paperwork and our work orders over the years. There were 1962 Dodge's built with the 413 Max Wedge in the 2 door hardtop version and we think there may be one version in a convertible showing in a museum, from what the owner was told. He wanted to replicate that car and he achieved it with great success. I have lots of photos on our Facebook page: "KC's Classics" and please feel free to call us at any time (941-747-1800) or e-mail (buildkc@aol.com) to ask us any questions about the Dart. Mike (the owner) keeps her at our shop and cannot drive the car any longer. I could photo/video anything in question. I have tried to show any blemish in the paint. The hood does have a crack (1 inch long) in the paint (see photo) from where I think someone closed the hood on something. That looks like the only flaw that I see. All of the chrome looks good, with exception of the rear bumper (see photo) part of the chrome has rubbed through, and the rest of the chrome on the car just needs to be waxed. The other item is that the gas gauge does not work. The sending unit works fine (we checked it out). The gauge itself is not working. Everything else works, including the power top.
The specs on the engine, transmission, etc. is as follows:
1) 440 ci .030 = 446 ci
2) Forged steel crank 10/10
3) Cam-Hughes HEH4650BL, lobe lift .379 int, .384 exh, valve lift .606 int, .614 exh, duration 246 deg int, 250 deg exh @.050
4) Heads Casting Number 2406518, New Max Wedge Heads 5249824 valve size 214 intake, 181 exhaust, stainless
5) Pistons- TRW Speed Pro Forged # 2355F .030, Rings- Seal Power E424K .030, all balanced internally
6) 435 Stock Rods- reconditioned
7) 1.6 Roller Rockers, Hughes
8) Hold Downs, Hughes
9) Push Rods Custom Made, Hughes
10) Aluminum water pump and housing
11) Valve springs, Hughes # 1106

25) Heavy duty frame connectors
26) Balanced driveline
27) Max Wedge ceramic coated exhaust manifolds, 3 chamber Delta-Flow Flowmasters Series 50 mufflers
28) Cragar SS 15x8 rears with spinner knock offs
29) Cragar SS 15x7 fronts with spinner knock offs
30) BFG T/A 275/50/15 rears
31) BFG T/A 225/60/15 fronts
32) Interior was all restored with added gauges
When Mike originally bought the Dart, it had 30,596 miles on it and was told they were correct. There was very little rust on the car that had to be addressed (floor pans).
So bid with confidence for an awesome piece of Americana and go cruising with the top down and trust me, when you open the hood at the car shows, jaws will drop when they see what is in there. Even when driving down the road I am constantly asked what year and make the car is. That's how rare they are! Gas mileage is not bad when cruising along on the highway! But this is not a daily driver, is it?
There is no warranty implied by us, KC's Classic Cars (we are not a dealer). We restore classic cars. We are helping our customer with the process. Check us out at kcsclassiccars.com. You are responsible for the pick up and delivery of the car. Please ask questions if you have any.
This is an auction and I will have a reserve. Please don't ask what the reserve is! This is a legal and binding auction, if you don't have the funds to bid, please don't waste anybody's time, especially mine. At the end of the auction the winning bidder will have 48 hours to put $500 into my Pay Pal account and the make arrangements to pay the balance and pick up the car. Thank you for bidding!

2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcats see doubled production
Mon, Jul 27 2015The launch of the Hellcat supercharged V8 in the Dodge Challenger and Charger for the 2015 model year was a massive success. The one-two punch of muscle cars probably grabbed the brand more headlines than it had seen in ages by offering a world-beating 707 horsepower from the growling engine under the hood. The only real wrench in the works was keeping up with all of the orders. For 2016, Dodge might have fixed that little problem with plans to make more than twice as many of these mean machines Despite production seeing a massive boost, a few customers with orders for 2015 examples will need to wait just a little longer to experience those 707 ponies. The automaker will cancel any unscheduled, sold orders for the current model, but those buyers will receive a discount on the 2016. Similar to last year, dealers will earn their allocation of the muscle cars based on Dodge sales and how long the Hellcats stay on their lots. There are some very tiny changes for any buyers who are holding out for the 2016 Hellcats, too. Mechanically, they are identical to the 2015s with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and eight-speed automatic. The interiors see some improvements, though. Both the Challenger and Charger now receive standard Laguna Leather upholstery and an improved 8.4-inch Uconnect system with navigation, an HD radio, and five years of SiriusXM Travel Link and Traffic. Orders for both open in the second week of August, and production actually begins in September in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773
Fri, Mar 24 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna. Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
