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.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos
Wed, 21 May 2014Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
Ram to go on a Rampage with new small pickup?
Wed, 16 Jul 2014When people look back at today's automotive industry, what do you think they'll remember us for? The emergence of hybrids? Ever more expensive and exotic supercars? The dawn of the self-driving car? All likely scenarios, but so is the blurring of lines between one bodystyle and another, giving rise to hardtop convertible coupes and crossovers of every shape and size. But one bodystyle the North American auto industry has stayed largely away from in the past couple of decades is a car nose and chassis with a pickup bed.
It's a bodystyle immortalized by the Chevrolet El Camino, but with few exceptions, we haven't seen too many of these automotive platypuses in recent years on our turf. Subaru tried with the Baja and the low-volume Honda Ridgeline soldiers along largely unchanged, but the genre's biggest adherents are still Down Under, where ute versions of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon live. With a few other examples scattered to the four corners of the earth, that's really about it. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could be working to bring it back.
Spied undergoing testing in Michigan, what we appear to be looking at is a heavily disguised Fiat Strada being prepared - like the Fiat Ducato-based Ram ProMaster and the smaller Doblo-based ProMaster City - for Stateside duty as a Ram product. The Strada, for those unfamiliar, is a product of Fiat Automóveis in Brazil and is based on the Palio economy car. The nameplate has been around South America since 1996 and was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (long before Volkswagen monopolized his talents), and takes a more rugged approach in the form of the Strada Adventure.
