| All vehicle trades considered, including classics and performance. When it comes to drag racing, it's hard to beat a 426 hemi super stock. Literally. This 1965 Dodge Coronet is a classic example of such a car. And with its vintage paint, new engine, and loads of race goodies, it will always be one of the most popular cars at the track. This car was found at a florida museum 17 years ago. Originally a rust-free 6-cylinder car from west virginia, it had been set up for racing with a 6-point roll cage and a hemi, running high 10-second quarter miles. That is good, but not good enough for the last owner. The car has been thoroughly updated and improved over the years, resulting in an nhra-legal ss/ca car that will run mid-9's all day long. The "chassis" was tied and strengthened throughout. The cage was completely redone with a 12-point chrome-moly setup with swing-out side bar, and mini-tubs were installed to accommodate wider tires. The rear suspension received a 4-link chrome-moly setup with adjustable coilovers. There are strange adjustable aluminum shocks in front and double adjustables in back. There are also chrome-moly wheelie bars. The car has strange disc brakes front and rear, while the wheels are weld racing draglites with firestone 7.75-15's in front and hoosier 29.5/11.5w-15's in back. The engine is all new! It was professionally built by balek brothers performance. The 426ci block is from mopar performance and has been sleeved for added strength. The bottom end uses a callies crankshaft with 12.5:1 pistons, and a belt driven comp cams roller camshaft with larger journals. The mopar performance aluminum cylinder heads were prepared by modern cylinder heads. They also supplied the trick intake manifold. It is presently set up with dual 770 cfm holley carburetors, but the upper section can be quickly changed to a single 4-barrel setup if desired. Ignition is from a crank triggered msd 7al box locked at 31 degrees. There is also a charlie's oil pan with kickout and swinging pickup. Cooling uses a moroso electric drive with a mopar performance water pump. Note the step headers from dawson too. The engine is presently tuned for longevity with an estimated 860-870 hp on vp c14 racing fuel. It is running shorter t&d rocker arms and lighter valve springs, though larger pieces are included (and have proper clearances) for 900 hp. The transmission is a pro trans unit from joel's on joy. It utilizes custom gearing and a custom 8" torque converter that flashes at 6,500 rpm. There is also a griner engineering trans brake. The shifter is a performance products unit with a clean neutral out the back. This is an air operated setup, but of course it can be shifted manually if desired. The transmission feeds a strange driveshaft into the dana 60 rear end, which houses a spool with 5.38 gears and strange axles. Other goodies include dual 16v racing batteries with a 12v step-down regulator for accessories. A charger / maintainer is included as well. Wiring uses a painless wiring harness. Fuel delivery is from a barry grant 400 fuel pump, filter, and 4-port regulator, all done with -8 lines. There is a 5-gallon jaz flow max fuel cell in the trunk. The interior uses an appropriate a990 seat. The autometer gauges include a tach with both a shift light and low oil pressure light. Other gauges are present for fuel pressure, oil pressure, water temperature, transmission temperature, and battery voltage. The dash is essentially stock, as are the door panels, steering wheel, carpeting, and headliner. This is quite a package with a lot of money invested, not to mention the owner's time and knowledge. There are many other features not listed too. Also this desirable mopar comes with a valid wisconsin title. Finally, there is a very nice 24' pace american shadow gt enclosed trailer available to the buyer for an extra $5k, complete with a winch, storage cabinets, and workbench. So who wants to go racing? |
