Dodge Custom Royal Lancer, 1957 D-500 Hemi Powered, Not Plymouth, Desoto, Chrys on 2040-cars
Manchester, Connecticut, United States
|
AACA NATIONAL FIRST PLACE WINNER HERSHEY, PA. You are looking at I believe the finest example of a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer available anywhere. It is 1 of only 243 built by Dodge in 1957 and I know of no others available. It's condition leaves nothing to the imagination or desire. Most of the car is original to include the chrome [only two pieces redone] the interior [ only the carpeting and package tray changed because of fading]. The drive train is all original with the five numbers matching required for the D-500 HEMI OPTION. The engine is stamped as it is supposed to be as is the heads, the oversized radiator, the torque flight 3-speed transmission, and the Suregrip rear end. The car runs perfectly and does not miss a beat. It is turn key and ready to drive to the show your choice. This car has over 100 trophies/awards and includes the Mopar Regional "BEST OF SHOW" and the Mopar in Motion "BEST OF SHOW" plus so many PEOPLES CHOICE AWARDS. Mechanically the 12.5 inch brakes are all done to include a new master cylinder, all new steel radial tires including the spare, new exhaust system front to back, and the front end steering is dead on target. The body is all original never rusted or having any panel replaced. They are only new once in their lifetime and this one is still like that. There are some small road chips that are so small and don't show to touch them up. You should know that the car had the front end repainted over 20 years ago while the balance of the car is nearly all original and extraordinary. At the same time the front end was repainted, the engine compartment was freshened as was the engine. All remains spectacular today and attracts attention more than any car I have ever owned. The trunk is filled with all sorts of new parts like gasket kits, heater hose, radiator hoses, tune up parts and filters, spare tail lights, etc. I am selling this car because I have to and with dire reservations. If I had a good solid car of the same vintage, and someone were to give me $50,000 to restore it, I could never make it the quality of this car . It is coming out in another advertisement and if sold there, I reserve the right to pull the ad from Ebay. You can look at the pictures and if you have any other questions, let me know. I know that chrome is always a valid consideration as it is so expensive to redue correctly. Let me assure you, You cannot get N.O.S. chrome better than what is on this car. You will see a little pollen dust that appears only. No defects. Also, the steering wheel is perfect with no form of cracks, fading or ware, and the horn ring is excellent. The door panels and seats are all original material from the factory and beautiful. To save the seat material, the original cotton threads was rotting from age and redone with nylon thread for lasting. You have to understand, the seat material is gone forever to never be available for anyone to redue. Someone would have to do it incorrectly and as the Lancer only came with what you see. I have many other pictures that I can forward for your review. Ebay only has the provisions for 24 pictures in the listing. Send your email address and I will forward to you if you need to see more. I am listing the "Buy It Now" lower than it should be. I will never be able to replace the car for the asking price. Whoever wins the car will have the best of a very rare and desirable car. Should the car go overseas, I will assist with the coordination of shipping. I know as I have sold a lot of Mopar items to Sweden in the past and had to assist. Happy bidding. |

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack adds power and noise, with a warranty
Thu, 17 Apr 2014If you want to go fast, there's certainly nothing wrong with the Dodge Challenger SRT8. With 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque for 2014, there's certainly not much to complain about. But what if you want something more aftermarket in flavor? There's no shortage of options, but while turning to the tuner world will make your car plenty fast, that extra power won't just shred rear tires, it'll torch your warranty, as well. That's where Dodge's Scat Pack comes in.
With three stages of mods for both the 5.7 and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s Challenger (as well as the 5.7-liter Charger and, soon, the four-pot Dart), the Scat Pack cars give drivers all the power, aggression and noise of a heavily modded aftermarket car while maintaining the piece of mind provided by the Dodge warranty.
Power gets bumped up to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque with the 6.4-liter Scat Pack, while the 5.7-liter can provide up to 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque to add to the stock engine's 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet. It's the latter engine that can really get some work done, with upgrades ranging from the mundane - intake and exhaust - to the racy, like the ported heads and high-flow headers.
Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
