My 4-Speed 1969 Dart GTS 340

Posted on by

The story starts in 1968 when a new 1969 Dart GTS, 340/4 speed car with a console tachometer is ordered up. By 1970 it is being raced with the 340/4 speed in it, and was repainted white and green with mags on it. In the early 1970s my grandfather ended up getting it and turning the car into a all out drag car with a mild 318 and 727. By the 2000s the car was retired and was a roller. A couple years back I ended up getting the roller and built a 1971 340 for it that is .30 over, 10.5:1cr, j headed (for now), .480 Cam Dynamics camshaft (for now). Future plans are to install a .590 Solid Roller camshaft along with a pair of ported and polished heads. More pics after the jump!

Mr. Norm’s Sports Club

Posted on by

It’s been 50 years since Mr. Norm opened Grand Spaulding Dodge in 1963. Coinciding with the delivery of his first order of Dodges, which consisted of nothing less than four truckloads of Max Wedge sedans and hardtops, he started the Mr. Norm’s Sports Club. In commemoration of his 50th Anniversary, Norm would like to invite everyone in the Mopar community to join him in celebrating this milestone with a free one-year membership in the legendary Mr. Norm’s Sports Club. Just like in the ‘60s, everyone will receive the monthly newsletter that has the latest news and scoops, along with discounts on Mr. Norm’s memorabilia, parts, accessories and vehicle packages for Mopars. Sign up here at Mr. Norms.

1968 Dodge Charger 383 4-Speed on eBay

Posted on by

Speaking of green Chargers… here’s a nice one–just one owner til August of last year. Not quite restored or a “survivor,” but just a very well maintained and loved rust-free Arizona 4-speed car. Other than the sagging leaf springs it doesn’t seem like there is a whole lot you’d have to address on this cool big block B-body. More pics plus eBay ad text after the jump!

All in the Family 1969 Chargers

Posted on by

These two beautiful Chargers, both sporting F8 Dark Green paint, share garage space in Ohio. The Charger was purchased new by the current owners father in 1969. Both father and son then fell hard for the new Charger Daytona but never did make the plunge. Over the years, the Charger received several upgrades and was restored. Then, in 2001, the son was able to fulfill the dream shared with his now departed father and found a Charger Daytona, also in F8 Dark Green! Read more detail here at Auto Enthusiast. More pictures after the jump!

1970 Challenger T/A Super Stock Survivor on Ebay

Posted on by

This 1970 Challenger T/A is still wearing the same paint job it raced with in 1970. With only 3,103 miles, most everything else is original too! Immediately after it was purchased, it was prepared for the drag strip. Apparently, due to a falling out between the owner and the builder, the car’s track days were very limited. The paint, the rake, the wheels and tires–just perfect. See it here on eBay. More pictures after the jump!

Vintage Mopar NASCAR Photo of the Week: Richard Petty’s 67 Plymouth Belvedere at Bristol Speedway

Posted on by

We have another great vintage Richard Petty photo this week. The picture is from the 1967 Bristol race, most likely the spring one. The car is up on jack stands and even in the B&W picture you can tell it has chrome rims. The car is also pretty naked of stickers so you can tell this is from practice a day or two before the actual race.

The Charger Pursuit is Officially the Fastest Cop Car

Posted on by

I’m not sure if this is good news or bad new but the Charger Pursuit, equipped with the 370 horse 5.7 Hemi, is the fastest police car on the market, both in RWD and AWD. Both cars clocked their record setting times at Michigan’s Grattan Raceway with the Michigan State Police behind the wheel. In my book it also wins the Best Looking Police Package award. Find the full story here in CarBuzz. More pictures after the jump.
