The last Dodge trucks ever made that were bigger than a 1-Ton were in 1977 and here is a Very Rare and Special Opportunity for you to own what maybe the Coolest and most Unique Dodge Truck you're ever going to see!

This Awesome 1977 Dodge D-700 Custom Race Car Hauler was built and owned by the Legendary Stock Car Driver and Race Team Owner Cotton Owens!

Cotton built this truck for his own personal use in 1987 starting with a 1977 D700 Cab and Chassis then extending the frame to a 240" wheelbase then installing a 1980 Club Cab section using the original D700 front clip.

Cotton used the 413 engine and the 5-Speed transmission from his D800 Race Car Hauler to put in this truck and used a 2-Speed Hi-Lo Rearend.  He also designed and built the 23'X8' Hauler bed and installed the twin 100 Gallon Aluminum gas tanks and the newer style 10-Lug 22.5" Polished Aluminum Budd Wheels.

Cotton used this truck often over many years before selling it to his buddy and fellow Winston Cup driver Neil Castles in 1996 who used the truck in his business transporting cars for the motion picture industry until selling it in 2010.  

The Max GVW Rating for the truck is 25,500lbs and so a CDL liscense is not required.  The truck is in very good running and driving condition although it could use a set of new tires in the near future.  My plans for what I wanted to use the truck for have changed since buying it and now is a Great Opportunity for someone to own this Very Special Truck that has a lot of Very Interesting History behind it!  The Challenger Convertible on the truck is so you can have an idea on the size of the bed.  There is more than enough room to haul a car as long as a Superbird and still have plenty of room left on the bed for hauling a golf cart / ATV. 

The Challenger in not included with the truck in this auction but is available for sale.  It is a Real Deal #'s Matching 6-Pack 4-Speed car that's loaded with all the options one could order and has its original Broadcast Sheet to prove it! 

If you have any questions about the truck please give me a call at (405) 203-4441 or email me at: pentastarcars@cox.net

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.
