1966 Dodge Coronet 440 Trim and 440 engine
This car is my baby. I have a couple other projects I want to finish, sad to see it go but its time to move on.

Engine 1971 440 - steel crank, 9 to1 compression, Edelbrock E-street 75cc chamber heads. 224/234 @.050 .497int .520exh after the 1.6 chromoly roller rockers. Double roller timing chain.

Landrum 200lb rear springs and competition engineering 3 way shocks Other Manual steering, lightweight aluminum master cylinder with disc proportioning valve, car is still 4 wheel drum brakes (stops great). Small 7260 ujoints. This car needs nothing but driven, if someone want to do some upgrades I recommend getting a 1350 driveline and converting to discs in the front (you are already half way there with the mastercylinder and prop valve) just to handle the power its putting out. New tires and draglite style wheels Body I don't have a ton of history on the car other than it was garaged most of its life. The paint you see is ORIGINAL, oregon has a great climate/doesnt salt the roads so cars hold up really well here. The body isnt perfect, it has 48 years of wear. There are a couple dings and some chipping and a spot I had painted by the drivers door handle (other owner spray painted about a dollar bill sized section, not sure why) There is some small rust starting in the lower rear quarter panels behind the tires. There is also a slight wrinkle or dent on the passenger side quaters and lower passenger side front fender. All trim and bumpers are perfect. Still has factory wiper arms with wind deflector. Interior New carpet and headliner, custom made dash with autometer phantom gauges. 2 5/8 electric oil pressure, water temp, trans temp and volt meter. 3 3/8 160 mph speedo and 3 3/8 8k tach. Original radio but does not work. Heater core isnt hooked up ( I didnt want the ugly heater hoses in the engine compartment and I dont drive it in the winter) Front floor pans were professionally patched, the rest of the floor and trunk floor needed no work. Had the floor pan and trunk floor coated with por15 and the trunk floor sprayed back to body color. The seats have a couple tears in them, not bad for 48 years, Door panels and dash or original I wanted to see what the car would run in the 1/4 mile before I sold it, so I took it to the local dragstrip. It ran 13.1 @106 on street tires! You will not be disappointed with this car, I have driven it about 15 times to work which is 60 miles round trip. The car has never let me down. Last time I did plugs there was 155 psi on every hole + or - 2 psi. Great oil pressure. Runs right around 180 on even the hottest days, Transmission has never gotten over 165 degrees.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?
Tue, 16 Sep 2014The 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.
