Up for auction is my 1971 Dodge Demon. This has been a project car for me for the passed few years and Ive decided that its time to let it go. I put a lot of hours into this car but just never got around to finishing it. It needs very little to be put on the road, but with that said I'll start with whats needed; There is a bind in the rear axle not sure why but probably a simple fix, but the center section on the diff will need to be pulled for closer inspection, needs a drifeshaft, the brakes need bled, a windshield and seal, and misc trim/etc pieces need to be cleaned up and reinstalled. Includes front bumper, valance, and most of the original hardware for the car. Now what has been done to the car is as follows, it originally started out a a slant six 3 on the tree car but has been converted to a small block K member with all new ball joints, tie rods, and polyurethane bushings throughout. Switched to the common 4.5" wheel bolt spacing all around and converted to disc brakes in the front, with new steel and rubber lines installed. It has a '98 5.9L Dodge Magnum engine with a Milodon 8quart oil pan, mildodon oil pump, and milodon dual roller timing set also installed in the engine which is mated to an application correct NP A833 4-speed transmission. New MP flywheel, Zoom kevlar Clutch assembly, Hurst Comp Plus shifter assembly w/hardware kit, new mounts and seals where needed were installed, along with a modded to fit factory a-body shift boot and hurst bench seat shift lever. It has MP Super Stock rear leaf springs installed on a '68 B-body 8.75" rear differential housing/axles with new bearings and axles seals in place. The differential unit is a 489 case with a richmond 4.10 ring and pinion and a Mopar suregrip unit installed. Base/Clear paint was done right including the jams and inside trunk first. Installed is an aftermarket RCI 16gallon fuel tank with GM style sending unit for a gauge. Car also has installed a MP chrome ecu and an MSD Rev controller. Im sure than Im forgetting a lot but Ill add info as I remember and answer Questions as they arrive.

Thanks for your interest.

**REVISED**

Things brought to my attention and things I remembered;

The Main photo of the car is the most current picture of the car. The wheels included are steel oem 15 x 6 front and 15 x7 rear. The primered photos and such are just progress pics from during the rebuild process. Also the car does include the rear bumper and bracketry as well. Also the rear seat is MIA currently, but in the event that it is found... it will be in need of reupholstering.

Thanks again.

 This was a CLEAN car to start with and has very little body work needed to it. It was a virtually rust free body with a very solid frame and sheet metal.  This is NO Bondo Queen. These pictures do not do justice to how good/straight this car is.

Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.

Tesla Model S P85D shows 707-hp Dodge Challenger Hellcat how to drag race

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Street Car Drags hosted a bang-up event at the Palm Beach International Raceway last weekend, with a list of massive horsepower ICE cars going up against one another and a trio of Tesla Model S P85Ds. One of those duels pitted the 691-horsepower Tesla against a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and the result was an old-school beatdown and a world record for electric cars. The Model S P85D ran the quarter in 11.6 seconds at 114.6 miles per hour, the new mark for BEVs at the drag strip. Proving its pace, it ran three more times in 11.69, 11.72 and 11.76 seconds. It got from the start line to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. The Hellcat, well, it wasn't a race, really. It was the Hellcat's driver's first time at a drag strip and his first time trying to launch it, so after an excellent burnout ahead of the lights, he rolled to the line, almost jumped the start, balked at the real start and spun his tires for the first 100 feet down the strip. The theory is that he overheated his street tires during that burnout, and the resulting greasy rubber did what greasy rubber does. By the time he got to the other end 17.46 seconds later the Tesla driver had showered and was enjoying a funnel cake. When things go right, though, Dodge estimates the Hellcat will do 11.2-second runs on street tires and it has been clocked at 10.85 seconds at 126.18 mph on street-legal drag radials. There's video of the not-quite-a-race above, and Drag Times says there'll be a rematch between the two in a couple of weeks.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.
