Up for sale is one of the finest ’67 Dodge Darts you will ever find.  This vehicle has well over 2,000 hours invested in the mockup, body & paint, wiring, assembly and road testing.  As you can see from the photos, the details reflect the time spent in making the car a well-balanced and well engineered road machine.  This vehicle was built in order to show the craftsmanship and attention to detail available at Fast Freddie’s Rod Shop in Eau Claire, WI as well as to showcase some of the latest components available in the automotive aftermarket.  This has been the display vehicle at Fast Freddie’s for the last year two years and now it’s time for someone else to enjoy and appreciate this incredible machine. 

This car was built to be driven from coast to coast in modern comfort with A/C, power rack & pinion steering, comfortable bucket seats, 4-wheel disc brakes, a hush-matted interior and a killer audio system.  Although the engine dyno’d at 555 HP and 650 lb./ft. of torque, it still runs on 92 octane pump gas and backed by a Keisler-built Tremec TKO 600 5-speed, it will cruise 65 mph @ 2,000 RPM, making it the ultimate Power Tour car.

Pictures do not do the body & paint finish justice, but you can get an idea of how flat the panels are and how well everything lines up.  This is a testament to all the time spent mocking up the panels, drivetrain, and steering & suspension to ensure a perfect, well engineered fit after paint.  Nearly 500 hours alone were spent in the engine bay smoothing the firewall, hiding A/C lines, routing wiring and making all the pieces look like they belong together.

Check out this video of Fast Freddie's Rod Shop to see the car in action:

The car has taken several best in show overall trophies as well as best in show paint.  It is truly a no-excuses vehicle that is right at home under the lights of a car show, or cruising down the freeway with the tunes cranked up.  Now is your chance to own this incredible car that is ready for you to push the start button and get your heart racing!  Feel free to call Fred with any questions at 715.456.3949, or drop an e-mail to jfkappus@gmail.com  Also, check out www.fastfreddiesrodshop.com  for more details on the car and many more build photos.  Thanks!

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.
