No where else in the world are you allowed to drive as fast as on the German autobahn. But driving fast is something that has to be learned! High speed driving calls the utmost concentration and energy on the part of the driver. Each year, more than two million accidents occur on the German autobahn.

Dodge Charger 1968 blown hemi
this is Nick suckow's car in September 2008 before it was stolen. If you have any information about this dodge charger please let me know. http://www.weau.com/home/headlines/33732019.html# Back in 1984, high-schooler Nick Suckow bought himself a '68 Dodge Charger. He was gonna fix it up and roar down the road. Nick was born a gearhead. A hot rod. From the first time he drove, he drove hard. The redline was always at hand. When he joined the Army out of high school and shipped to Germany he got hooked on the autobahn, where you could ease over to the left lane, stomp the foot-feed flat, and shoot, they just let you go. "Fast," Nick likes to say, "isn't the same as reckless." All that racing around, and then life served up a grim little joke: The day Nick Suckow wrecked - the day his life changed forever, the last day he ever stood on his own two feet - he was going 35 miles per hour with his seatbelt on. He'd been married two weeks. He and his wife were on their way home from their Wisconsin honeymoon, making the run back to Texas in Nick's Gran Prix. They were towing a rusted-out Ford Bronco - Nick always had his eye out for a cheap beater, and he had found one up north. On a rough stretch of road Nick crawled in the Bronco to keep it straight. The front tire hooked a pothole. The tie rod snapped. The seat belt broke. He landed in the ditch. The Bronco landed on his neck. Nick says he remembers the sun in his eyes. Then the darkness closing in. A lot of years, then. Hospitals. Home. Hospitals. The marriage ended. Back to Wisconsin. Rehab, and more hospitals. The speed demon, not going anywhere fast. But eventually he had them drag that Charger out. Arranged to get it in the shop. Whenever he had a little money, he'd get some work done. "They whittled away at it," he says. "I told my mom, if I die, dump my ashes in the fuel tank, and I'll go down the drag strip one last time." Seventeen years. Seventeen years of learning how to live from the neck up. Seventeen years of whittling. Hed show you the latest pictures - a quarter panel here, a shot of primer there, a couple tires. He'd get down to the shop, supervise in person when he could. He couldn't run the wrenches, but he could run the show. He'd sneak out for a little speed fix sometimes - once a paraplegic friend strapped Nick's chair to a motorcycle sidecar and they blew down the road, one good pair of arms between'em. Nick says it was good to feel the wind on his face. On a sunny day in October of 2006, Nick Suckow's pals helped him slide from one set of wheels into another. They strapped him in the passenger side, and you could see the anticipation on his face, even behind the mirrored shades. The car cruised out of the lot, and then picked up speed, the blower making a Mad Max whine as the wheels warmed to the road. After a nice easy ride, the Charger pulled to a stop on an isolated little stretch of blacktop. There was a quiet moment, before the driver wound that 426 fuel-injected blown Hemi up tight. Then Nick Suckow gave the nod and went fishtailing down the blacktop on a journey that had never really ended. http://www.musclecarrestorations.com/suckow.html
Dodge Challenger Slow motion Wheelie
1974 Dodge Challenger Slomo Wheelie vid. Santa Pod 2010 eurofinals. By Blackett Photography. Here the car is powered by a 572ci Wedge motor. Runs mid 9's @ full weight (3850lb +). To make the caltracks work you need plenty of front end lift, bump stops were removed and frames notched to get almost 6 1/2 inches of travel. Something Chrysler never designed that suspension for I'd guess. We've since improved the bump steer by replacing parts and resetting the camber / castor as the front has aftermarket parts and plenty of adjustment.
In reality it's difficut to fully eliminate without going to a strut type front end, though some people appear to have done it on stock stuff, it seems to be a common chrysler trait. Check out the superstock video's from the '70s and most Mopars do it also check out my other real time wheelie vids you see that the wobble lasts only a fraction of a second.
Thanks for the comments.
1970 Dodge Challenger RT STK 1285
This Challenger R/T is a factory 440/375 HP, U code with a total nut and bolt professional no money spared rotisserie restoration. It now has the documented Chrysler dealer installed optional Six-Pack Carburetor set up with all receipts. The other dealer installed options were power steering and power disc-brakes with OEM date coded period correct parts restored by White Post Restorations. The Rotisserie Restoration was done to factory OEM specs.
The interior is just like new. Everything works down to the clock! All new weather stripping, dash pad, seat covers, carpet, headliner, door panels, inside door handles and window handles.
Starting with a laser straight body made for a great restoration. All of the correct paint markings are there, along with the detailed suspension, every nut and bolt is correct as far as we can tell. The car has less than 100 test miles since restoration.
The paint is the correct PPG B-5 Blue, base coat clear coat, colored sanded and polished to an incredible, flawless better than new liquid glass finish. One of the nicest paint jobs you will ever see.
The car came with the 440 375 Hp and we have the receipts of the complete engine rebuild. The Six pack option was just installed a year ago, the original four barrel intake, carburetor and air cleaner goes with the car and matches the rest of the cars restoration. The engine compartment is detailed for show with all the correct paint markings and inspection stamps. Installed a new 2.25" Flowmaster Exhaust system.
The transmission is the correct 4 speed and has been rebuilt and detailed. The shifter works perfect as does the clutch. The rear end is a 3.54:1 Dana 60 track package, code A33 on fender tag.
The wheels and tires that are on the car are brand new BFG radials and correct wheels. This gorgeous Challengers and possibly the best on the market. The restoration was started using NOS parts where available about three years ago and finished last year. The car even has NOS spark plug wires. Restoration receipts and invoices are over $100,000.00 and come with the car. A partial build sheet was found and will also go with the Challenger.
