Looks badass (then again, the 2007 Charger was shown as a door as well)... and if it performs as stated, well it'll be badder than the Demon... 2 bad things..
1) It's electric..
2) If rumors are true, performance is going to be a yearly subscription basis like satellite radio (BMW already does it with some options). Want to do a burnout? Want to drag race? Want the top power available? You'll have to pay each year for it..
The DCR lost a friend tonite, and I lost a great friend.
Richard Kane II aka TheBankersToy passed away early this evening (12/8/22) at the age of 67 after a short illness. Those of you that have been lucky enough to meet Richard in person realized very quickly he was a extremely nice guy and would do anything he could to help if he could. Even those he had never met, he did what he could to find correct part numbers for cars with his parts books or to help someone having an issue with their car if he could. I had the honor of meeting him a few years ago when he asked me to change the camshaft in his car to make it more streetable. A lover of all muscle cars from Mustangs to Camaro's, and despite owning a Hemi Cuda and a fully restored 70 Charger, his favorite was the bastard stepchild of the Mopar world, the 66-7 Coronet. He raced it all over the southwst until diabetes took his eyesight away and he had to turn in his license.
Rchard met the love of his life Rosie when he was young, and they were together til the end. Once he could no longer race, he turned his passion towards diecast cars. Not just diecast cars you buy in Target but true, limited run cars, and maintained a meticulous database of them. His other passions were music as evident by his own section on the board, and getting defroster ducts made for 66-6 B-bodies, an endeavour that eventually came to fruition.
Richard will truly be missed by many. His forum will be locked to preserve it in his memory minus 1 more post.
I will post his obitiuary once I get it. There will be no services according to his wife, he wanted it this way and she is abiding by his wishes.
Happy Veterans Day to all that served. Thanks for putting your lives on the line with the rest of us miscreants so people can enjoy the freedoms they have.
Now go out and get your free/discounted meals Longhorn Steakhouse here I come!
Hi guys. I have a '65 Coronet with the 318 and a 727 torqueflite. It's a column shift. The transmission will only shift into 3rd gear if I move the shifter over to neutral. If I leave it in drive it will stay in second gear. And to get reverse, I have to go past R to P, then back again for it to engage. It works but it's not right and I'd like to dial it in. I have a manual and it has a gear shift cable adjustment, which I attempted but it made no difference. It goes through the gears nicely, but it's just not lined up on the steering column. It doesn't mention any adjustment at the steering column, so I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar problem?
My fine bodyshop lost the chrome trim that goes at the base of the front and rear window on both sides of my '66 Coronet Convertible. I cannot find anyone that re-pops them and the only ones on ePray are a dented up mess. If anyone has these bits they are the last part I need to complete the car. Would be happy to take them off your hands.
