Up for auction is my 1989 Dodge Dakota Sport custom, inspired by the 1989 Shelby Dakota trucks. Looking for more power than the original V6, I installed a 5.2 liter V8 engine and transmission from a 1991 dakota in the summer of 2011.

The Good

5.2 liter V8 runs strong and doesn't smoke or leak oil

Solid body and frame with only minor surface rust

Factory roll bar and Bosch off-road lights

Water pump recently replaced

Driver's side CV axle, upper and lower ball joints recently replaced

Passenger side rear wheel bearing recently replaced

Good, reliable brakes

Beautiful interior in very good shape

Custom fabricated .25" diamond plate front skid plate

Factory skid plates for transfer case and fuel tank

1" thick rubber custom bed liner, bed is in great shape underneath

Original jack and handle are securely stored behind the seat

Also included in the auction is the original owner's manual with the original dealer bill of sale and a Hayne's repair manual.

The Bad

The transmission is going out and will need to be rebuilt.

The flexplate is cracked by at least two of the flywheel bolt holes, this would be replaced easily with a transmission rebuild anyway.

The truck has a starter button because the neutral safety switch on the transmission is faulty.

The hood has a slight dent and the passenger headlight assembly is cracked from a minor fender-bender.

The roll bar needs to be repainted as well as a few other spots on the body such as the roof and the tailgate.

The power steering pump reservoir leaks power steering fluid

The 4x4 vacuum switch on the transfer case needs to be cleaned or replaced

The smog pump pulley bearings squeak sometimes

With a little TLC, this will make a beautiful truck, toy, or off-road project.

If you have any other questions about the vehicle or terms of sale, please ask.

Upon close of the auction, $100.00 deposit must be made through PayPal within 72 hours. Buyer is responsible for any and all pickup and transportation costs. The truck will need to be towed as it is not in reliable running condition, though it does run and drive well enough for an inspection of the vehicle or to load / unload for transportation. Bidders are welcome to come inspect the vehicle in person, just send me a message or call me at (304) 871-3181 to arrange an appointment.

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.

The 2013 GRC season kicks off on April 21 in Brazil with plenty of dirt-spewing, ramp-jumping action. Scroll down for a video from the cars' main sponsor, Red Bull, and a press release from Chrysler.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.
