1969 Dodge Coronet: Pro Touring Gone Wrong

Normally I try to ignore bad builds, but this “Superbee Pro Touring Tribute Car” is a real travesty. The wheels are awful, the modernized interior is worse, and just say no to the Chevy black engine bay treatment (with or without a moden 5.7 Hemi swap).

Jalopnik’s 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona Review

Jalopnik recently drove a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona all over Texas, and managed to snap a pic of it in front of the “Playboy Marfa” art installation I told you about last month. Although the reviewer seemed to like the car, he was disappointed by the 5-speed automatic and the quiet exhaust note. Oh, and the fuel economy. Well, the exhaust is an easy fix. Read the full review at Jalopnik and see what you think.
