Dodge GTX (Turismo Carretera)
The Dodge GTX (also referred to as Dodge Cherokee or Dodge GTX Cherokee) is a stock car version of the Dodge GTX, designed to race in Asociación Corredores de Turismo Carretera-sanctioned series including Turismo Carretera. History Dodge's competition history in Turismo Carretera dates back to the start of the category in the 1930s, with the 6C Coupé and sister brands Plymouth and DeSoto used. A 6C Coupé in the hands of Raúl Melo Fajardo won the second-ever event of the category, the "Corrientes - Goya - Corrientes", in 1937. As the series grew into the 1950s, 60s and 70s, these models were usurped by various Valiants, Dodge 1500s and the Dodge Polara as Improved Production vehicles battled 'prototype' evolutions. The GTX ultimately replaced the Polara in the Turismo Carretera field in the 1970s, with its more streamlined coupé design and " Slant-Six" engine favoured by competitors. To be eligible to compete in the category, the Slant-Six had to be de-tuned from its fac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Torino Cherokee
The Torino Cherokee is a racing car manufactured and developed in Argentina for its participation in the Turismo Carretera. It is a sports development carried out under the regulations of the Asociación Corredores de Turismo Carretera, using the IKA Torino production model, manufactured in Argentina between the 1960s and 1980s, as its basis. This prototype was developed and presented in the mid-1990s, under production standards imposed by ACTC, in order to grant users of the Industrias Kaiser Argentina, IKA brand (vulgar and directly identified by the name of the Torino model), a new tool to compete under equal conditions in the category, taking into account the sporting situation they lived after, after their debut at the end of the 1960s (in which they would exercise a very notorious dominance between 1966 and 1971), various technical restrictions were imposed that would lead to a drop in performance and their almost subsequent disappearance from the considerations of the riders ...

Introduced in 1959, it was known within Chrysler as the G-engine. It was a clean-sheet design that began production in 1959 at and ended in 2000 at . It was a direct replacement for the flathead Chrysler straight six that the company started business with in 1925 until the old design was discontinued in the 1960s. Design The Chrysler Slant Six engine was a clean-sheet design, led by Willem Weertman, later Chrysler's chief engine designer. Its characteristic 30° inclination of cylinder block gives it a lower height overall engine package. This 30° inclination had already been used by Mercedes-Benz in their 300SL sports car with the M186 engine since 1952. This enabled vehicle stylists to lower hoodlines, and also made room for the water pump to be mounted with a lateral offs ...

Dodge Polara
The Dodge Polara is an automobile introduced in the United States for the 1960 model year as Dodge's top-of-the-line full-size car. After the introduction of the Dodge Custom 880 in 1962, the Polara nameplate designated a step below the full-sized best trimmed Dodge model; the Polara that year had been downsized to what was in effect intermediate, or mid-size status. In its various forms, the Polara name was used by Dodge until 1973, when its position in Dodge's line-up was replaced by the Dodge Monaco. The name Polara is a reference to the Polaris star, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race during the early 1960s. First generation The 1960 Polara and other full-sized Dodges featured styling cues carried over from 1959 models, itself an evolution of Virgil Exner's " Forward Look" cars introduced in 1957. The 1960 model year also marked the first year that all Chrysler models, except for the Imperial, used unibody construction. The ...
