Here we have a 1968 Dodge Dart that I recently took in as partial payment against another Mopar that I had . Originally it was a Dart 270 but it now it has a 440 motor with the famed six pack set-up and a 727 auto trans with a Dana 60 in the rear with a posi and 4:11 gears. And the car is supposed to be set up by a NASCAR DRIVER/MECHANIC but I cannot prove or disprove that statement. But as you can see there is some high dollar parts that go with this car as it was set-up to simply be a cool go-fast car and that is it. It is NOT A SHOW CAR but it is a cool looking car with the right motor and a really nice interior but the body work is amateurish with a few waves and misaligned body lines. So if you are looking for perfection you should keep looking but if you are just looking for a cool go fast car this just might be the one.

Now let me tell you a little more about the car in detail. First off the color is sublime green with a black tail stripe and a black six-pack hood. All new suspension painted and powder coated, Nascar style 3-piece sway bar up front (will need a front end alignment), All new front disk brakes with chrome hard lines and steel braided flex lines at each wheel, 11” performance drums in the back with New shocks both front and rear with the rear being air shocks, A narrowed Dana 60 with a 4:11 posi rear gear and 35 Spline Moser billet axles with top links on axle tubes to help prevent axle wrap, A  rebuilt manual reverse pattern valve body 727 with a deep aluminum racing tranny pan and a new 3500 Boss hog stall converter with a new  B&M pistol grip ratchet shifter, The battery was moved to the rear of the car but the battery box was made to look like a piece of luggage and not just a ugly battery box. Most of the bolts have been replaced with stainless steel or ceramic chromed, Has frame connecters that are welded in and the whole underbody is undercoated, The fuel tank is clean and ready for fuel and I has a sump with a Edelbrock quiet electric fuel pump(relayed switch is under the dash for on or off with key ignition.

It is also wearing brand new Coker red line tires stretched over brand new(painted to match) wheels with deep dish on the rear(215 up front and 255 for the rear and 15x8 front and 15x10 rear ). As for the interior it has  new carpet, new windshield, new wood grain steering wheel  and a hidden master power switch under the dash with removable key but sorry no radio.

Under the hood has also been prepped for the motor and as you can see it has a all aluminum  radiator with a stainless steel shroud and electric fan set-up(thermal activated switch with override under dash)  and a stainless overflow tank. New wiring harness, Now for the motor it is a early 70s 440 with rebuilt like new 906 six pack heads that have been ported and have larger manley valves, springs and retainers, The rods are Childs & Albert  billet rods. As for the pistons they are new 30 over forged  trw  domed pistons (11:1) with a new hydraulic purple .531 cam and new comp lifters plus a New double roller timing chain. It also has a new aluminum water pump, New oil pan with a new high volume oil pump, New chrome balancer , Chrome one wire alternator with the brackets, Aluminum pulleys and Mopar aluminum valve covers, msd distributor and all arp studs (heads and mains),  and all the gaskets needed for assembly of the motor. And to sit on top of this monster is an aluminum six-pack intake with holley carbs (2-350 cfm and 1- 500 cfm modified to fit the six pack intake so now all 3 carbs have metering blocks and power  valves for better tuning) . The block will need machining and the crank will need to be turned(neither have been turned or bored)  So that is what this car has to offer. Like I said earlier it is not a show car but just a cool go fast car that is about 90% complete but needs to be put back together by somebody looking for that cool, cool car.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding on this car as there is no warranty or guarantees on this car.( after all it is a 45 year old car)  Either  you can call me at 231-206-5258 my name is Kirk or email me thru ebay’s  ask seller a question. Well good luck if you bid on my car………………..see-ya

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.

Rare Dodge Daytona found in barn heads for auction

Tue, Dec 15 2015

An American icon is headed to Mecum's Kissimmee, Florida auction next January. Charlie Lyons, owner of a restoration shop focused on old Chrysler products, got a lead on a two-owner 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona that had been sitting in a barn in Glenwood, Alabama for decades. Dodge built 560 Charger Daytonas (Canada and US production) to homologate the model for NASCAR racing, and then that car and the successor Plymouth Superbird terrorized NASCAR tracks for 18 months. The production car, however, 18 feet long and considered ugly, wasn't popular at the time, so many were beat up or simply disappeared. Around 385 are thought to exist today. Lyons said the first owner of this car was the town judge, who bought it for his wife. In 1974 the second owner - just 18 years old at the time - bought it for $1,800 so he could drive it to Panama City, Florida, for Spring Break, and had flames painted on the front fenders and the scallops trimmed in white. Otherwise this barn find is complete and stock, with matching numbers throughout, R4 Charger Red paint and a white tail, bucket seats, center console, three-speed TorqueFlite automatic, and 20,553 miles on the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8. Hot Rod has the long story of how Lyons found the car and convinced the owner to sell for what he jokingly called "a shoebox full of folded money." Hagerty says a concours-worthy model can command $262,000. Mecum's pre-sale estimate for this Charger Daytona is $150,000 to $180,000. That sounds steep, but Mecum did sell another perfectly restored Hemi-powered 1969 Charger Daytona for $900,000 at this year's Kissimmee auction to actor David Spade. Related Video:
