2018 Jeep Wrangler Rumors
Jeep is toying with our emotions regarding the next gen Wrangler. First, Carbuzz reported on the good news; it is NOT becoming a crossover and will remain body on frame construction complete with solid axles. Then they reported on the bad news; the 3.6 Pentastar will be replaced by something smaller and turbocharged and the folding windshield is going away. No word on if the removable doors or top are staying or going.
Dodge Charger Hellcat – World’s Fastest Sedan?
We know that Dodge has proclaimed the Charger Hellcat to be the world’s fastest sedan but, well lets face it, they are kinda biased. Allpar alerted us to an independent test by Justin Bell and The World’s Fastest Car Show that sets out to confirm or deny said claim. We won’t ruin the ending but in a telltale credit at the end, the producers thank SRT for supplying the camera car. Video after the jump!

Ram Truck Crossing the Delaware
1998 Dodge Viper Prototype GT-3 Race Car on Craigslist
Hooniverse found this Viper race car on Craigslist. This car was actually a prototype built thru a partnership with Chrysler and, upon seeing the result, Chrysler decided to take the program in-house and created the Viper Competition Coupe! The car was reportedly stored from 2002 until 2014. Find a great write-up in the Craigslist ad. More pics after the jump!
Dodge Power Wagon on Craigslist
Bring A Trailer found this Power Wagon, a farm truck for the past five years, for sale on Craigslist. We would love to see this one brought back as an honest and clean (but not too clean) driver. Pictures are scare but find the Craigslist ad here.
1993 Dodge Ram Pickup with 70 Miles on eBay
Bangshift found this mint Dodge pickup on eBay that’s reported to have only 70 miles on it. Such crazy low mileage vehicles are generally priced very optimistically but the owner of this truck is asking….ready for it…$33,000! He does have a defense for the apparent high price though. “Auto manufactures must make new vehicles each year to keep higher prices. The have to keep depreciating older vehicles. For this reason the gap widens each years. The “Blue Book” was invented by auto manufactures as a convenience for them to create this “FARCE”. How did we miss that?Need another reason? “Try special ordering a 2015 model with wing windows, – NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!”. Where’s my check book? Follow the eBay auction here. More pics after the jump.
Project Violent Valiant Update
Back in October 2013, we brought you word of a plan by Bangshift and Hot Rod Chassis and Cycle to build a pro touring style 1964 Plymouth Valiant – Violent Valiant. That plan has become a reality. The car is not 100% finished but we think they certainly made good on their plan. Find more info at Street Legal TV. More pics and video after the jump!
1966 Dodge Hemi Coronet
There are sleepers and then there are sleepers! This wolf in oxidized clothing spent most of it’s life in the salty air of Hawaii. The new owner dropped in a replacement Hemi, fixed up some mechanical bits and….that’s about it. He drives it regularly, races it and beats back crowds at car shows. Find more info at Hot Rod.
