Saleen SA-30 Series 570 Challenger

Posted on by

Steve Saleen began tuning Mustangs in 1983 and progressed to building his own Saleen S7 supercar. To celebrate 30 years in the industry, Saleen Automotive is producing three unique, and very limited, special editions of the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. Known as the 570 Challenger, the Dodge is to get engine, suspension and styling changes. Not much detail yet but the Mustang is getting a supercharger, so there’s a good chance the Challenger will too. Only 10 Challengers will be produced, all in a white pearl color, at a starting price of $95,000. See more at Street Legal TV.

Barn Finds at the MCACN 2013

Posted on by

Barn finds are just plain cool. Finding an old, dust covered Mopar that hasn’t seen the light of day for 20 plus years has a certain mystic. While the vision of a full blown restoration comes to mind for most, others want to keep that day of discovery feeling by way of NOT restoring them. Heck, not even cleaning them! The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals acknowledges this trend with their Barn Find display. See the details at Hot Rod. More pics after the jump!

1965 Dodge Dart Charger 273 in Hemmings

Posted on by

Dart and Charger referring to the same car? Yes sir. In 1965 you could order a Dodge Dart Charger. It was equipped with the 4 bbl Commando 273, various mechanical and trim upgrades and special “Charger” badging. It was the model that first introduced the Charger name. See this very nice example for sale at Hemmings. More pics after the jump!

Viper Sales Are Fine Says Ralph Gilles

Posted on by

There have been many stories recently about the Viper not selling as planned, about production being scaled back, that the Corvette was stealing sales. It turns out that the issue is not poor sales but poor planning. Apparently, people who spend $130,000 on a car have the nerve to insist on the options that they want. Whew! See the story at Jalopnik.

1969 Road Runner Post Car on Craigslist

Posted on by

Street Legal TV discovered this 1969 Road Runner coupe on Craigslist. Originally a triple black car, it received an orange paint job that didn’t seem to hold up very well. The result is pretty unique. While not really a rare car (with production numbers for the coupe of 33,743), a 383 in a post car (referring to the B pillar) is a perfect example of what Plymouth envisioned for the Road Runner; fast, light and inexpensive. It sure would look nice in black again with steelies and dog dish hubcaps. See it at Street Legal TV. More pics after the jump!
