1954 Dodge Pick Up Truck.
Engine: 6 Cylinder flat head with 103,500 miles that are believed to be original. The engine was over hauled about 20k miles ago. Vehicle still has floor pedal starter. Pretty much everything is still original. Engine runs excellent, does not burn any oil. It does have a mild leak but I am not certain exactly where it is coming from, not a significant leak. Transmission: 3 Speed Manual transmission on the column. The linkage on the transmission needs attention. It has had issues with difficulty shifting into various gears that are not issues with the transmission or clutch. It is an issue with the linkage adjustment only. After discussing this with a transmission shop I am told this is a common problem with the cars that have three on the column manual transmissions. Apparently the linkage has a very specific adjustment pattern that if it is not adjusted properly has difficulty going in to gear. This is an easy fix and may be fixed this week, however I can not guarantee that so assume it still needs to be addressed. Interior: The dashboard has no dents or tears in it. The seats have been recovered recently. The door panels are relatively new, however they do not look to be the best quality door covering. The head liner is relatively new and everything else looks relatively new as well. Please see the photos for details. Exterior: Please look at the photos for details. I am not familiar with the history of the paint job. It looks to me like the original paint that was possibly painted over with the same color in an attempt to freshen up the paint without doing a complete re-paint. You be the judge because I can not tell. The paint looks to be in pretty decent shape, but by no means is it show ready. It would benefit from being buffed out, again please look closely at the photos as they will be the best indication of the condition of the paint job. There is no issues with rust. Look closely at the photos, there are a few areas where some surface rust may be starting, but there are no rust holes anywhere. This is a very solid truck. Brakes: The brakes need to be bled, I may have this done before the purchase is complete. Overall this is an excellent daily driver that needs very little to move into a show vehicle. Again please let the pictures be a guide as to the condition of the vehicle. The truck is all original and runs great. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. I hate to have to add this but due to others I must. You are not bidding to come and look at the vehicle, you are bidding to own. All bids are binding and must be honored. The vehicle can not be released until funds are cleared. |

Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon
Fri, 23 May 2014This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
