1969 Dodge Dart V8 Killer Car Mopar V8 on 2040-cars
Kennewick, Washington, United States
|
This is a 1969 Dodge Dart (Mopar).
Originally, it was a slant six
cylinder. I pulled a 318, 904, front disc brakes, and rear end from a 1974 Dart
and put it in the car you see. The car has been completely stripped down to
bear metal and rebuilt and repainted from the ground up. Sheet metal work and sub-frame connector work
was done at Pro Tech in Kennewick Washington.
As well, Pro Tech did the painting on the body of the car. The doors,
deck lid, hood, and fenders were painted and fitted by Eddie Robbins and Tim
O'Keefe of Snake River Street Rods, Kennewick, Washington. The interior upholstery work was done by Pete
Medrano of Kennewick, Washington and as you might be able to tell from the
pictures, the headliner still needs to be installed (so does a stereo- I have
installed two 4" speakers under the dash and run speaker wires to the
rear). The engine was bored .300 over at S&B and rebuilt with Edlebrock
intake and cam. There is a carter 4 barrel carburetor on the car presently. The
heads are commando heads with 2.02" intake and 1.88" exhaust ports
(they are stamped with an 'X'). Dick at American Eagle Muffler ran 2 5/8"
exhaust out from the Hooker headers. The car has a B & M floor shifter in
it. The car scoots along very nicely and
as you can see from the pictures is near flawless in the paint and body. The dash and visors have new covers and the
dashboard is has been painted gloss black.
The interior trim pieces are all here.
However, one of the plastic pillar post covers will need to be
glued. A very tiny chip appears just
below the corner of the rear window and a small chip is below the windshield.
This car is not finished, however. It
needs a headliner, stereo, rear speakers, and the trim mounted along the drip
rail above the doors For the winning
bidder, I will include an 8 3/4 rear end with posi gears (3:55) ready to assemble
and put under the car. I have receipts
for well over $40,000 invested in this car, but I must sell it. This car is almost done and the price reflects that. If you would like to see more pictures,
especially beginning to end, of the car when it was in the process of being
restored, I have those as well. Thanks for looking. I am selling this car for my brother and he has clear title.

Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper
Fri, 08 Feb 2013It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?
Tue, 19 Nov 2013The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.
