We have up for auction a 1968 Dodge D100 Adventurer, this was the top of the line Dodge truck in 1968. The truck was an old shop truck at one point in its life. I left the patina on the truck, it looks cool and shows some character. It was clear coated to prevent anymore fading or rust. The body of the truck is straight, 95% rust free. The tailgate is the worse area on the truck. There is a rust spot on the hood underneath the DODGE lettering. The bed, including the inside is in good shape, no rot. The floor pans did have some rust and there is now new metal there. The truck sits on aftermarket rims with white wall tiger paws, the thread on the tires arent the best tho. The truck runs and drives, stops, the turn signals and lights work, the guages work, as well as wipers. The truck does need to warm up, the electric choke is not working properly, but once warmed up runs fine. The motor is a 318, with an automatic transmission, it has new gas lines, new carb, new starter, new battery, new alternator and a fresh oil change. The transmission shifts well and is strong, as is the motor. The truck has original miles, being just under 40k. This is a pretty cool truck, turns some heads as well. I have driven the truck, after work was complete, I probably put about 60 to 70 miles on the truck. If local I would say go head and drive it home, if not local I would bring a trailer, it is an old truck and you never know! The interior is original except the carpet and the seat cover. The windows and vents work. The seat is covered because, well you know why its covered, it is ripped and someone did the old duct tape fix that looks all so well! If you have any questions ask! If you want to make a buy now offer? Shoot me an email with your offer. Payment is due within 7 days of the auction, unless agreed upon before auction end. $500 deposit within 3 day via paypal. Rest in cash on pick up.

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots
Wed, 06 Aug 2014Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.
Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
