This story is from a few years back. And I don’t know that it really proves anything. But I’m posting it anyway.
The photo below shows what this beautiful 1969 Dodge Charger looked like before the wreck. If you have the stomach for it, click through to see what the Charger looked like after it got t-boned by a large truck and then slammed into a guard rail. Thankfully the driver was ok. Via RideLust
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
Hey, got the Charger running a bit better. Why not do a wicked driveway burnout? Video after the jump! Via Dodge Forum
Judy Stefanski races a 1964 Dodge Polara. And what better way to tow it to the racetrack than a 1964 Dodgeo Polara wagon! More pics after the jump!

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!
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?
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!
Take a 1969 Dodge Charger and drive it into a concrete wall at 100 MPH and it will look like this. Not sure this crash test proved much, though, and I can’t find any info on why this test was done. Cars have gotten a lot safer since then, but I doubt a new car could save anyone with that kind of impact. Via StreetLegalTV
Mike Musto and I attended a SRT Viper event last week in his badass Daytona. I already showed you the pics. Now you can check out the video after the jump!
TJ’s 360-powered 1965 Dodge Dart GT runs 7.0’s in the 1/8 mile at 96 mph. And it’s his daily driver on the street! More pics after the jump!
