The Last of the B-Bodies: Muscle Cars?
Featured in Hooniverse’s Obscure Muscle Car Garage are the 1977 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1978-79 Dodge Magnum and the 1979 Chrysler 300. The late 70s were a sad time in muscle car history. Heck, the fastest (to 100 mph) US production vehicle in 1978 was the Lil’ Red Express! Review these cars features, hit the link, and place your vote. More pics after the jump!
Another AutoTrader General Lee on eBay
In June we showed you one of the General Lees from the recent Auto Trader commercial, that was for sale on eBay. Find it here. There were apparently six Chargers used/abused in the making of that commercial. Now another Charger from the commercial is on eBay. This one isn’t quite as clean as the first one–this one did a lot of the jumps. Follow the eBay auction here. More pics after the jump!
A Phoenix Daytona
We’re all for saving/restoring every Mopar that has led a rough life, especially a winged warrior. However, there comes a point where you simply have no choice but to say a small prayer then scavenge it for parts. This 1969 Charger Daytona was bulldozed into a ravine to make way for a dam! Per the story at BangShift, the plan is to rebuild the poor girl. That would be great but the result would simply be a 1969 Charger with a nose cone, wing, window plug and a Daytona VIN.

2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack vs. 1969 Dodge Super Bee
Ok, not really… While we were down in Portland testing the Hellcat we also got to check out all the other 2015 Challengers. Ryan Douthit of Driving Sports shot the Hellcat video we posted last week (hanging out the back of a minivan on PIR). He also shot the video below with a R/T Scat Pack car, using Steve Cook’s beautiful 1969 Super Bee for a bit of historical perspective. Watch the video after the jump!
Pawn Stars 1969 Hemi Road Runner on eBay
Remember that beautiful 1969 Hemi Road Runner clone that Cory from Pawn Stars pretended to buy but then Rick pretended to buy it from him? Or something like that. It’s on eBay with a Buy it Now price of $58,900. More pics after the jump!
1969 Dodge Charger on Craigslist
This rough Charger, featured in Cars in Barns, was on Craigslist but now appears to have been removed. The asking price was $17,900. Worth it? More pics after the jump!
Bob Mosher’s 1965 Plymouth Wrecked
Two years ago, Bob Mosher’s newly built 1965 Plymouth was stolen from his shop in Southern California. The thief took the car up to some serious speed and managed to hit a tree going 150 mph. Can you believe he survived? Sadly, the car didn’t. More pics after the jump! Via Hot Rod
A Nesting Couple
A 1969 Formula S Barracuda and a 1966 Coronet convertible appear to have been side by side for quite some time. Seems like a shame to break them up. No chance of that happening in the immediate future–they’re not for sale. As found on Cars in Barns. One more pic after the jump!
