We recently showed you a 1969 Hemi Dodge Charger 500 that’s for sale on eBay. See it here. Check out this back-in-the-day road test. I love the Dragnet-esque script. “This is one of the quickest ways I know of to do your thing. 426 cubic inches topped by hemispherical combustion chambers delivering 425 horsepower. That’s about one horse per cube. If that doesn’t excite you, you’d better check your pulse.” ‘Nuff said! Video after the jump.
This is an extremely rare and extremely cool Mopar. Only 392 built and few still with Hemis like this one. More pics plus eBay auction text after the jump!
Why do people let these beauties decay like this? If you’re keeping them to someday rebuild them then fine but at least take steps to stop any further deterioration. If you’re waiting for the market prices to climb in order to sell them then fine but, again, at least take steps to stop any further deterioration! Not much of a story to go with the pictures but the pictures alone say alot. See them at Cars in Barns. More pics after the jump.
In 1914, the Dodge brothers struck out on their own and never looked back. To commemorate their centennial, Dodge is releasing two limited production cars early in 2014 based on the Charger and the Challenger. Both cars will be available in an exclusive “High Octane” red pearl coat paint with unique 20 inch wheels and badging. The flat bottom steering wheel, formerly only available on SRT’s, is a nice touch. There are also many smaller details such as a different color “100” on the speedometers and brass colored accent stitching as a reminder of the Dodge brothers machinist heritage. See more detail at Allpar.
Early morning on November 6, thieves broke into Picture Car Warehouse in the San Fernando Valley and stole five vehicles, including Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s 1972 Dodge Charger. It doesn’t appear that his car was a particular target as the other stolen vehicles included a 2005 Mini Cooper, a BMW M3, a Ford Econoline van, and an F-150 pickup. Three cars have been recovered and two people are in custody. The Charger is not an inconspicuous car, even in LA. It may also have some bodywork damage and yellow paint transfer as it hit a taxi while being stolen from the warehouse. If you spot it, please contact the Los Angeles Police Dept. at 818-374-7611. More info on the heist at Hot Rod.
Here’s another cool Mopar parked out front at SEMA. It features an all aluminum 572 Hemi with a Tremec 5 speed. More pics after the jump!
Is this every Mopar guy’s dream girl? Yes, that’s her Charger and yes, she built it. Check her out on Facebook
This widebody 1968 Dodge Charger is a work in progress but we can tell it’s gonna be amazing. Twin turbo Nelson Racing 572ci Hemi rated at 2,000 hp! We will keep you posted on the build. But for now, check out the rest of the pics after the jump!
This photo of the #3 Dodge Charger driven by Buddy Baker and built by Ray Fox was taken at the 1969 Bristol Race. It is interesting because it shows the stock version of the car alongside the race version. The white Charger 500 is still around today and was probably given to Baker by Chrysler.
Well, it isn’t just Mopars, and it isn’t exactly a barn, but you get the idea. Member migsBIG on Moparts managed to buy the 1970 440-6 Dodge Charger you see here. Check out the other stuff he found after the jump! Via Moparts
