One of a Kind Custom
1948 Dodge Rat Rod

You are bidding on a custom built street/strip truck.  The 1948 Dodge Pickup truck body has been chopped and is sitting on a a custom built frame that was designed to also mount a 1932 Ford. The engine was built by a local engine builder who regularly builds strip/street and drag engines and races his own cars weekly.  It has less than 100 miles on it because I only drive it occasionally around town.  This unique truck has the following features:
  • Chevy Small Block Engine - bored .030" over making it 355 cubic inches
  • Chevy 350 Turbo Transmission
  • Camaro Front Snout with Disk Brakes
  • 9" Ford Rear End
  • Wired for AC
  • Coil over Shocks
  • Power Windows
  • Aluminum Fuel Cell with Electric Fuel Pump Switch

I have a lot more invested in this than the starting bid.  I have priced it to sell.  This truck runs great.  It turns heads as it is or you can restore it to its original colors.  Because of the high compression engine and cam, it runs on 110 octane fuel or premium gasoline with octane booster.  In addition to the slicks currently installed on the rear of the car, I am including another pair of rear tires that have the tread pattern pictured mounted on the pictured spare rims. Also included is another pair of front rims.  The oil pressure/temperature/voltage gauge set (with the blue scale and orange arrow) was installed to monitor the engine conditions.  No other gauges are connected.


If you like a classic looking truck, the last picture (the photo of the truck with the green cab and black bed) is a picture  of a restored Dodge.  Obviously, that is NOT what this truck looks like.  As it is now, it is a rat rod.  I have been told by some of my friends that it shouldn't be painted because the current trend and highest value is leaving it as is!  

The truck is available to be viewed, inspected, and driven.  The truck is for sale locally.  Feel free to ask any questions.  I am not a mechanic or pro, but I will do my best.

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.
