It appears that the upgrade forces a login and many, many of you have forgotten your passwords and didn't set up any reminders. Contact me directly through helpmelogin@dodgecharger.com and I'll help sort it out.

On July 6th I posted in this thread asking you to provide a list of everything you have for sale -with prices- and maybe even some pictures...You posted nothing...I probably would have been interested in several things, since I own  three '72 Chargers, and I'm not too terribly far away from you... Your sales tactic of keeping your specific list of items for sale a deep, dark secret ain't working, now is it?

So, I'll try this again...

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SELL ?

Quote from: Kern Dog on March 27, 2024, 06:14:05 PMHow do you get 541 cubes from a 440 block without a siamesed bore? How long is that stroke?
Is that a  .060 overbore and a 4.5 stroke?
[/quote bore is 4.37 and 4.5 stroke

Some kind of space saver spare would be the way to go. Full size spare is a through back to the days of bias ply tires when we rotated the spare in order to try and get 10000 miles from a set of tires.

Blew up a rear end on one car and a lifter through a rocker on another car.

Don't get me wrong, some of the fastest cars I've had the pleasure of testing out were electric, and I mean need a neckbrace kind of acceleration/speed. But like others have said, you cannot beat the physical rumble of a V8... let alone a big block V8. But I hate to say it, Old Muscle cars will slowly be coming to an end. Many kids now want a "ricer" or a new car with all the electronic gadgets. My generation is the last except for a few lucky kids who have the eye for classics. I see it more and more at car shows and action movies like Fast & The Furious just play into that trend.

IMO it's probably the best modern 2nd-gen we can hope for in terms of styling. 

The govt regulations would not allow anything that really looks like an old muscle car to be built today.  And even if they did, a lot of modern buyers wouldn't want it.  Big crash testing problems, too much wind noise & aero drag, poor side visibility, poor interior room for its size, etc. 
 
Engine wise?  This restyle is coming way too late.  This is the body they should have been putting Hellcat/Demon motors into years ago. 

The electric drivetrain . . .  I dunno.  On the one hand, the target guys who want a Dodge Charger are the types who won't want electrics on principle.  On the other hand, that's the image that Chrysler would want to change.  Baby boomers have been way over-represented in the new car market for decades but that era is coming to an end.  Most people buy their last new car long before they actually die.    The car industry has to start catering to Gen-Xs and Millennials.

If you live on the couch, you never make mistakes nor do you enjoy success.
The guys that are out there living are the ones that get things done.
