Don’t have a lot of info ont this one, other than that it happened in Northeast Ohio. The Green With Envy 6 speed SRT8 392 was almost brand new before it took out that guardrail. Came from Frederick Motors and still had temp tags. Lots more pics after the jump. Via Moparts
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!
Great how-to article on funny car modeling at BangShift by Steve Magnante. Pictured below: Sox & Martin ’64 Plymouth and Ramchargers ’64 Dodge built by Steve in the late Seventies when he was 14!
This just popped up on YouTube. The guy who shot the video stumbled across a pretty wild Mopar stash which was in the process of being moved to avoid some sort of Aussie government land repossession. After first spotting a Challenger on a trailer out on the street, he managed to talk his way into a tin shed containing several Chargers plus a few wing cars up under the eves. Apparently some were used in movies? Check out the cool collection after the jump!
Allpar has an interesting take on the whole “Is Fiat Planning to Kill Dodge” thing that Ward’s Auto kicked off two weeks ago. Allpar claims that instead of losing Dodge, we instead might be looking at “the first real focus Dodge has had since it was named Dodge Brothers.” Allpar thinks that Dodge should be allowed to take the “‘big muscle’ rep” and run with it. I think that would be awesome. But there are a few problems with this idea.
1) Chrysler would lose Dodge as the bread and butter brand that it has been for a long time and force Chrysler to take that role, when Chrysler has historically been more of the “luxury” brand. And Americans aren’t going to accept Alfa Romeo or Maserati as substitutes in the a luxury area.
2) Chrysler has already invested a lot in the SRT brand.
3) CAFE standards. You can’t build a brand on performance and rear wheel drive anymore, unless you are talking high end, low volume (and that’s SRT).
This discussion reminds me of the whole Pontiac discussion a few years ago, and we all know how that ended… But read the article at Allpar and see what you think.
I don’t have anything to add to this video, other than it’s… awesome. Maybe this Dart is even crazier than this one? Check out the video after the jump!
This weekend a Silver 2002 Dodge Ram Diesel was stolen from a parking lot in in Squamish, BC. Worse than that, the owner chocolate lab was in the truck and is now missing. $1,000 reward. Help get the word out! Details after the jump! Via The Car Lounge and Craigslist
Bangshift just published a cool gallery of B-bodies. (Though it looks like one C-body snuck into the mix–can you find it?) I posted a few of my favorites after the jump (like this wicked yellow 1970 Road Runner) but see all fifty at BangShift!
