I loved the pics of Judy Stefanski’s 1964 Dodge Polara with the matching Polara wagon tow vehicle, so I started looking around for other cool Mopar car hauling combos. I love this 1965 Dodge Coronet race car on the Dodge hauler. And I have a vintage photo (from the 70s) of a ’65 Belvedere on a hauler after the jump! Via Moparts

Mopar Album Cover: Sucking the 70s
I’ve never head this one but according to Wikipedia it’s a “two disk collection of 1970s songs covered by modern stoner rock bands.” Whatever. The cover art with the ‘Cuda is awesome. More info at the Small Stone website.
2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat Spotted Testing
The Challenger isn’t the only Mopar getting the new supercharged 6.2 liter Hemi. The 2015 Dodge Charger is expected to get it, too, and maybe even the 300C. This Charger was spotted testing the new 6.2 liter Hemi Hellcat recently, along with several Challengers. So if you like four doors, worry not. The Hellcat is coming. Via Allpar

1963 Dodge Dart vs 2013 Dodge Dart
Steve Magnante daily drives a Slant 6 1963 Dodge Dart GT twelve months of the year in Massachusetts. It was originally a California car, so the body is pretty good, though the interior is a bit rough. Steve gives us a quick look at his old Dart in this recent episode from the Dart Road Trip series on the official Dodge Youtube channel. My first car was a Slant 6-powered 1963 Valiant convertible with a pushbutton tranny, so I am a big fan of these old A-bodies. Video after the jump!
1979 AMC Spirit AMX For Sale on Hemmings
Daniel Strohl at Hemmings spotted this awesome 1979 AMC Spirit AMX in their classifieds, which is said to be a rust free, two-owner car. The original 304 has been replaced with a fairly stout 360, so this thing is probably a hoot to drives, especially with the 4-speed. The $13,900 asking price seems pretty reasonable for such a solid and unique car–one of just 1,834 produced. More pics after the jump, and be sure to check out the ad at Hemmings!
Seven Mopars That Made History
MSN recently published Muscle Cars: 20 That Made History and I counted seven Mopars on their list: 1956 Chrysler 300B, 1968 Plymouth Road Runner, 1968 Dodge Charger, 1970 AMC Rebel Machine, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, 1970 Plymouth Superbird, 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. Hmmm, I could probably think of a few more, like the 1968 Hemi Dart, but it’s not a bad start. What do you think?
M-Code Dart on eBay
Back in 1969, just 640 M-Code 440-powered Darts were built for Chrysler by the Hurst-Campbell Corporation. Most of them were sold to drag racers, who then beat the living snot out of them. Today only about 30 cars are known to exist, and one of them is on eBay now for $99,900. This one looks to be a fully restored, numbers matching car. Manual steering, manual drum brakes and a 375 hp 440 under the hood. What is more pure than that? More pics plus the auction text after the jump!
