768 HP 1968 Plymouth Valiant on eBay

StreetLegal TV found this 1968 Valiant on eBay. The Arizona body is in great shape and the owner has invested in upgrading the brakes, suspension, transmission and added a roll cage. He’s added new wheels and tires all around and, oh yeah, has a 358 cubic inch R5P7 Dodge Nascar engine waiting to be dropped in! Sourced from Ernie Elliot’s engine shop, it produces over 750 horsepower! Check out the auction on eBay. More pics after the jump!

Meet the Coroner

Check out this awesome new feature on Speedhunters on “The Coroner” located in Sweden.

“In essence, what he’s done is take a 1968 Dodge Coronet with a 1969 front end, plus a 2007 Dodge Charger, and blend them together to create something that looks old from the outside, but has all the luxuries and performance you’d expect from a modern muscle car at its core.”

More pics after the jump, but be sure to check out the full feature on Speedhunters!

They first changed the oil and checked the battery and brakes. It had been sitting for 47 years after all. Read more at Jalopnik. Video after the jump!
