4 Speed!!! Real R/t, Not A Clone, All Original Sheetmetal on 2040-cars

ONE OF ABOUT 1100 FACTORY 440 FOUR SPEEDS BUILT
I restored this beautiful Coronet R/T to original condition. Its a real deal R/T that is as solid and reliable as any late model car. Not a show car, this car is ready for the road but it wont take much to bring it up to the next show level. This is the best color combination and everywhere it goes, it gets compliments and always draws a crowd at car shows. The paint is basecoat/clearcoat TT1 medium green metallic with the correct dual band bumblebee stripe that has been painted on. It also has a new Legendary vinyl top that looks great. It comes with a set of Wheel Vintiques 15" Magnum 500s on BFG Radials with about 5000 miles on them, not the Keystones in the pictures. The interior of the car is also new from Legendary including seat covers, door panels and carpet. Everything works. The original 440 has 906 heads with some port work, a vintage Edelbrock TM7 intake, a Holley 870 Street Avenger carb, an older DC .509 purple shaft cam, an 8 qt Milodon oil pan, a Mopar chrome box ignition and headers with a new exhaust. All of the original parts come with it. It runs strong but getting tired and could probably use some freshening up. The transmission is an 18 spline "Hemi crash box" 4 speed with a Dana 60 rear with 3.54 gears, all factory installed and documented. I put a new Centerforce clutch in it recently. Manual steering and brakes. This is a real deal musclecar without the fluff. It came without a console from the factory but I have a correct green console that is available separately. The car also came with power windows from the factory but have been retrofitted with easier to use and find parts for crank-up windows. Every panel on the car is the original from the factory. There are some holes in the trunk floor but does not need an entire new floor to properly repair it. That is the only rust on the car and I mean it. The chrome is all there and could use some detailing. I removed the chrome rocker moldings because I like the cleaner look without them but they come with the car with new clips if you wish to reinstall them. I have owned this car since 2001 and representing it the best I can. The car is also for sale locally. |

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack
Fri, 24 Oct 2014We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
