Here is at least a real new one with full warranty from a dealer. 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat $66k for auto ($70,375 MSRP) no sales tax in Montana and cheap plates, just start an LLC here.

My 71 Sebring with a rebuilt stock 318/factory 2 bbl, 904 and 2.7ish:1 rear grears got 22mpg when moved from Seattle to San Fran down I5 keeping with the flow of traffic. The overdrive is the #1 improvement. Either run stupid 2 something gears, or get good acceleration and have an overdrive...

I like how he said they are just going to keep it. Well duh! As it can't pass for any sort of legal 2016 new vehicle standards, without just being a green paint job. It sucks to be a manufacturer, only private citizens are allowed to make what they want. They should sell even a more stripped...

I saw a lot of people missed it as pointed out early on. Mopar didn't invent the 'Cuda name, the people did. They applied that name to Barracudas long before Mopar ever stuck the name on a fender. So true the first 'Cuda badge ever put on a car and trademarked was the 69 model. That doesn't mean...

My daughter had one in a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a bunch of miles (150Kish miles) but they didn't keep it more then 2 years. They didn't have any problems. A friend who works for the best engine machine shop around says stay away from them. They got a big power boost in 2008 so if I did get one...

We can get 30 mpg with the 3.6 in our minivan at 65-70mph. We had a whole tank of 28.5 mpg hand calculated from Missoula Montana to Seattle which is 3 mountain passes. It is a great motor. I can't wait to see how it does in the new 2017's with 9 speeds, better aerodynamics, and 300 less pounds...

I think it is safe to say after all these posts the best 340 pure stock, tires, distributor advance, carb, old style factory tires, everything is in the 14's. Just modern tires and a good tune should put it in the 13's but that's not exactly showroom stock.

no title, is it $4000 in parts?

I remember checking prices on a crate 5.7 Hemi in 2003 when they came out and figured it would be less expensive to just buy a stripper new 2wd 5.7 Ram for $15,000 after rebates, take the motor, and sell off all the parts as new takeoffs. Probably would have ended up with almost a free motor.

At what point is the car still the same car as relation to the VIN? Say it wasn't just the dash that was swapped but the front end was drilled and the whole subframe swapped. Along with the doors, fenders, motor, transmission, interior, axle, K frame, 1/4 panels, etc. What VIN belongs with the...

I have even heard it is different on the AWD compared to the RWD. Personally I say 5x115 is the same as 5x4.5, just a rounding error. That .7 mm difference is in diameter which translates into .35mm at the lug. Go look at a mm on a ruler and then cut it into 1/3 of that and tell me that makes a...

Show me one restored 70 barracuda convertible for $30,000 or under. Ads from 1980 don't count, neither do Craigslist ads from North Dakota with palm trees in the background.

Funny those questioning the VIN. What do you think it was a 440-6 car they are trying to pass off as a 318? E body is the most collectible Mopar by far. Convertible E body 70 and 71 only the best of the best. They remake all the parts someday Dynacorn will remake the bodies, then rusty old...

Not on a 1968
