An original 62 max wedge hood with scoop and holes added for velocity stacks. Detailed engine - trunk -all chrome and stainless is original in good condition.

I spent much $$$$ on ebay looking to upgrade pieces when I could find them.

Although not an original Max wedge this car has a history of being a max wedge race car most of it’s previous life, the former 2 owners never registered it.

I bought this car 9 years ago. I decided to do a conservation on it, doing everything necessary while still keeping the old school raced-bred appearance. The last 9 years have been a labor of love, time and money well spent on refurbishing the exterior , interior mechanicals. engine and trim pieces, to get it to where it is today.

Today it is what it is, a retired race car that’s used for local cruise nights and car shows.

It had a 1966 426- block in it when I bought it but after a few years it froze a rod bearing -that’s when I was told it also had a cracked crank I decided it made more sense to replace it with a professionally rebuilt 440 short block that could runs on pump gas and and add some cubic inches. While it was apart I had the stage III 518 max heads re-done by S&K speed and ordered a new comp cam, lifters, roller rockers, push rods, springs, shafts.

$$$$ later it runs great (pictures of heads and block before assembly included)

It starts every time, it’s loud. It has a strong stable idle (about 1000 rpm), it doesn’t stall.

Shifts easy just push 1-2-3-

It’s great around town. (it’s a piece of theater ) It’s reliable and it’s faster than it needs to be

It’s gets more than it’s share of attention at cruise nights and car shows.

Head lights, low & high beam, tail lights, parking & backup lights, signals, horn, wipers, dash lights, dome light, speedometer/odometer, temp gauge, voltage gauge, oil pressure gauge--all work.

What doesnt work:

the clock---the radio -no speakers are hooked up to it (it’s too loud anyway)---choke-there are no chokes in the 750 edelbrock carbs (more air)---emergency brake- not hooked up ( less drag) use Park

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
