Car pics too cool not to share

I tried to verify if they were reflectors or lights and couldn't find anything definitive. I guess I should have stated that instead of just assuming they were a light. But the reflector seems a more likely option at the time. Most likely to meet some new safe regulations?

I wasn't trying to correct you or anything, just stating what I remember from the early 80s. You know, the important stuff like the single screw in the center and SATE-LITE not being SAFE-LITE, not stuff like the date of something happening in the family. Also for some reason I think I read somewhere in the past few years ago about reflectors being enough for the first couple years of side marker laws. Maybe that was for trucks only, who knows? Not me, I'm now trying to figure out how I forgot that part.

I went back and added that they could be reflectors. And since you mentioned it I think you are correct. I was 7 in 1968 but had a friend who's uncle had 3 old Dodge trucks and I seem to remember that they had the reflectors.

I'd posted this because it had come up in conversation a while back on a truck I'd posted. I took no offense to you pointing this out. I'd rather be as correct as possible when I can.

@Squatch info on pricing so you can order yours

Dodge couldn't help itself when deciding on pricing for the Demon, which carries a base price of $96,666 (get it?), before destination fees and the gas-guzzler tax are accounted for. Add $1595 for shipping, and the $2100 gas-guzzler tax brings the actual base price of the new Demon to $100,361.

If you recoiled at the thought of spending $100,000 on a Challenger, you probably aren't alone, but the new Demon makes up for the high price with a four-figure horsepower rating and the necessary chops to go racing. Dodge did a lot of tinkering with the Hellcat during production, and accidentally blew up seven engines, according to CEO Tim Kuniskis. The work paid off, with the new Demon making 1025 horsepower and 945 pound-feet of torque in the correct setup. Freeing up the full capability of the Demon 170 requires a mixture of E85 flex fuel, but the Demon produces an impressive 900 horsepower and 810 pound-feet on standard pump gasoline.

Despite carrying such a large price tag, the Demon 170 has options. Just like the old Demon, the 170 comes standard with a single, cloth-covered driver's seat. Adding a passenger seat in the former ran $1. The car we sat in ahead of its reveal had two front bucket seats, both covered in available nappa leather, while the rest of the interior mirrored every other standard Hellcat Challenger.

An $11,495 set of aluminum and carbon-fiber wheels is available. The upgraded wheels share the same design as the standard set but save a combined 25 pounds. We know that Dodge has a street-tire package available as well, but we don't have pricing for it.

Production is scheduled to begin this July, and will be limited to some figure under 3300. Dodge hopes to build up to 3000 for the U.S. and 300 for Canada before production ends on December 31.

If I had that kind of toy money, I'd be ordering one with a passenger seat.

Maybe if I had just recently retired and had my house paid off, this could be some kind of reward? Maybe it could be a green one?

Ryan - That’s one hell of a post coming from an Anti-Hemite…



That Demon is definitely nasty.

Very custom 1950 GMC C6400 known as "The Beast" and Man is it a Beast!!. What used to be a Fire Truck is now a slammed heavy duty street truck. This 1950 GMC C6400 is covered in a bright sliver paint with some of the original polished trim and emblems still in place. The custom black leather interior with red accents is nothing like it was when it was a Fire Truck...but very fitting for the Hot Rod Heavy Duty Truck that it is today! It sets on a 2011 GMC 3500 chassis and drivetrain...Duramax and Allison included. Wheels are a personal choice and no one set will please everyone. The custom Big Rig style wheels they chose to run on this 1950 GMC C6400 custom Heavy Duty Street Truck from the 2023 World Of Wheels Birmingham AL work well with the rest of the build imho...Every now and then someone goes way off the reservation and comes up with something that is way cool...Like this 1950 GMC C6400 custom heavy duty custom street truck from the 2023 World Of Wheels held in Birmingham AL...Check it out!!

That air filter setup is a copy of the factory '63 Z11 setup, which feeds ambient air from the cowl vent and is positive pressure at speed. I wonder how much that actually helps. In theory, it should provide the benefits of cooler air with some assistance (not enough to be a super-charge). Also, I wonder if it's any louder in the cabin since it's now piped directly into the floor vents.

The guys who have done the cowl induction mod on their TJ's might be able to offer some input on the noise level. My guess would be it's better than the air coming in through the grill since it isn't heated at all by the radiator. On the cowl induction hoods wasn't it suppose to help due to the pressure but then others claimed a low pressure area at the cowl?

Edit: I'd like to find a good metal worker and have a air hat made for my 6 pack intake so I could do a cowl induction setup but don't know if I have the hood space.
