Dave bought the car in Falls City Nebraska in 2000 and took it back to Russellville, Arkansas where he lives. He restored it over the course of three years, though as he says, “it never ends.” It’s a factory 383 car, bored .30 over. Racing cam, Performer RPM Highrise intake, and 750 Edelbrock carb. 727 Automatic with Sure Grip rear end. More pics after the jump!

What happens when you put a late model Charger up against the late 60s icon? The guys at Edmunds decided to find out. Who do you think won? Check out the video after the jump! There’s also a second interview with Bob Hartwig of Cinema Vehicle Services, who provided the authentic 440-powered General Lee, one of just 17 to survive filming the original TV series.
Note: there used to be an Inside Line article which went along with the video, but Edmunds deleted it when they decided to kill off Inside Line. Go figure.
This is from a 1969 issue of Drag News. How about a 1969 Dart GSS with a 440 Magnum? Yes please! Via BangShift
BangShift has a bunch of great pics from the DuQuoin Street Machine Nationals, and of course there are lots of awesome Mopars. Check out a few more pics after the jump and see the rest at BangShift!
Man, there are a TON of Mopars in this movie. From the 1969 Dodge Coronet 4-door that Al Pacino and the rest of robbers drive to the bank, to all the cop cars. You can see the full list at IMCDB and check out the trailer after the jump!
The narrator calls it a “440 six pack” when that was a Dodge thing. Plymouth went by “440 Six Barrel.” Still, a cool feature on a cool car, even if the guy never starts it up. Claimed to be the first A12 Road Runner produced, and the one Ronnie Sox drove to a 12.91 quarter mile at 111 mph. Probably doomed to be a trailer queen the rest of its live. Still, check out the video after the jump!
Of course, like any super rare, valuable car, this one has some controversy around it–specifically around the removal of the VIN tag. Seem legit? Seller claims just 219 miles on this A-990 car, which appears very complete and intact. They only made 101 of these Hemi race cars in 1965. Bidding is already over $100,000. More pics plus eBay auction text after the jump!
BangShift has tons of great pics from the 2013 Mega Mopar Car Show at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pennsylvania this past weekend. Looks like the High Impact E-bodies were out in force! I have a few more pics after the jump (including a wicked black ’67 GTX) but you can see the rest at BangShift (and they just added some drag racing pics here). And be sure to check out the winners at maplegroveraceway.com
Well it has over 1 million views, so it’s gotta be up there. This “hearse” is a 1969 AMC Ambassador wagon with a blown 440. Right hand drive and somewhere in New Zealand. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a look. Video after the jump, plus two more with the same car.
Mark Brooks shot these pics last year at a wrecking yard in Turlock, California. Bet they’d probably try to save some of these on the East Coast! See more pics after the jump and you can see the full set on Mark’s page on Facebook!
