Up for sale is a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport custom. It has the more desirable "71 front end of a Demon and a Demon interior. I has been in the Hot Rod Power Tour and has a strong engine that does not smoke at all, Offenhauser intake, Edlebrock carb, small cam around 268 and 15/8 headers. Scoop looks original. It has a rebuilt trans with a new torque converter. I spent several years having all the wiring restored so that all the factory gauges work, lights, signals, etc. IT HAS A WORKING AND CORRECT GAS GAUGE! Don't see that often. Passes inspection no problem. Replumbed exhaust and new mufflers. I recently replaced the steering column to a floor shift model and put the original steering wheel back in. The shifter is a ratchet Hurst model. This is a non a/c car and the heater core is bypassed. The paint buffs out to a shine but there are scratches and blemishes. An extensive and expensive and documented rebuilding of the front end was done several years ago. I have extensive parts receipts and all repair receipts since I have owned the car and can be provided to look at. The 1974 Texas plates do not go with the car. The drivers seat shows upholstery wear along with the bottom of the drivers door panel. I will try to put it on the lift and upload some pictures of underneath this weekend. Please send pic requests. I will tweak the ad more this weekend as well.

Included with the car is;

The ACC carpet kit black in color that is for this car. Never opened.

A set of four POWDERCOATED Dodge wheels never installed with center caps

A replacement metal dash. I was going to restore the radio to a two knob as original and it was easier for me than re-welding the din radio cutout.

Dodge Mopar valve covers which will most likely be installed this weekend.

Better examples of the gauge cluster trim and glove box I planned to install with the new dash.

Flywheel inspection plate

Tach and Sunpro gauges removed when I bought the car

Wiper seal rebuild kit

New dashpad cover

Extra 1972 Dodge Y steering wheel and rally race steering wheel it came with when I bought the car.

This car has had extensive mechanical and electrical repairs to make ready for paint which was my next step. I recently ended up with two more project cars one of which my daughter wants to put together daddy daughter style. This car would not be finished for two to three more years and I do not want it to sit that long. I would not say it is a project because most of it has already been done. It is always a head turner and popular in all of the show and shines. Please contact me through Ebay for more questions or phone contact for those that have more in depth questions. I would like to answer any and all questions so not to waste either of our time. No trades. Cash only. Car up for sale locally and reserve right to terminate auction. Do not need help selling vehicle and no solicitation of other offers. Pick up locally.

Dodge Viper ACR still can't quite capture Nurburgring record

Mon, Aug 28 2017

Dodge Viper production ended just a few weeks ago. So in an effort to go out with a bang, a crowdfunded effort sent a pair of new Viper ACRs to the Nurburgring in order to reclaim the production-car lap record. Despite its best efforts, the team failed to top the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's time of 6 minutes and 52 seconds. The Viper's best lap was 7 minutes and 3.45 seconds, leaving a seemingly insurmountable gap between it and the Lamborghini. This past week, the Vipers went out again. Unfortunately the new time of 7:3.23 only shaved a few tenths. Road & Track reports that the hot weather played a major factor into the car's performance. August is hot in Germany, and the northern part of the track had a recorded temperature of 111 degrees. This was killing tires and therefore grip. While Kumho has been kind enough to supply the team with tires, an endless supply of rubber doesn't help if they keep getting cooked. In two hours, the team managed just two hot laps, killing 16 tires in the process. It's not over. A return trip is in the works. The team believes it can slide under the 7 minute mark. Still, it looks like it's going to take some really ideal conditions to make it work. Either way, the Viper ACR is and will remain one of the fastest production cars ever built and something of the likes we'll never see again. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.

Ford Police Interceptors dominate Michigan State Police testing

Tue, Nov 1 2016

Once again, Ford Motor Company builds the fastest police vehicles. The Blue Oval touted the news in an official release following Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testing. Ford did very well. Except for one acceleration metric – zero to 10 miles per hour Â– the Blue Oval's Taurus and Explorer-based cop cars were the quickest, with particular praise coming for the EcoBoost-powered models, which bested Chevrolet and Dodge's V8-powered variants. Dearborn's products also posted the fastest average times around MSP's vehicle dynamics course. But it wasn't all positive for Ford. The only four-cylinder in the contest, the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost Ford SSP Sedan, had both the lowest top speed, 120 mph, and the slowest acceleration figures. It was also the slowest in track testing. Ford's products also failed to match the braking and top speeds of its rivals from Detroit and Auburn Hills Â– the rear-drive Charger Pursuit posted the best braking stats of the entire test, while the V8-powered Chevrolet Caprice hit the highest top speed, at 155 mph. Ford did score a top speed award, among SUVs, but at 132 mph, the naturally aspirated Police Interceptor Utility had to share its award with the equally fast, rear-drive Chevrolet Tahoe. The LA County Sheriff's timing isn't publicly available, but according to Ford, the EcoBoost-powered police cars put on a similarly impressive show for cops on the West Coast. We've assembled a spreadsheet on Google Docs that offers an easy to browse comparison of the different stats assembled by the Michigan State Police, and divided the vehicles between standard V6-powered sedans, high-performance sedans (EcoBoost and V8 models), and SUVs. You can check it out here. Related Video:
