1953 Dodge Power Wagon Model # T245 M-37. This is a very unique all original truck that was previously used by the Maine Forest Service and the Portland Fire Dept. on Great Diamond Island and Cushing's Island in Casco Bay.  This truck was given to my father by the city after years of service as a caretaker on a island.  There have been no replacement or aftermarket additions to this vehicle.  If you are searching for those hard to find original parts this is what you need.  I have not run the truck for over 8 years.  It did run well but I have not had the time to do anything with it.  I am looking to find a home for it to be restored.  . The truck is still completely original including that hard to find tailgate. It is a soft-top that just recently tore in a Thunderstorm.  It has some rust around the front windshield, tailgate, and where the battery box was under the front seat.  


This is a rehab project but with a little tlc and tinkering would not take much to get it back on the road.  The engine still spins freely but there are no batteries (I took them out years ago because of corrosion). This is a as is sale with no warranties or guarantees.

I will attempt to answer any questions that you have.  I can also take specific photos for you if you would like.  

Payment-  I would ask for non-refundable deposit within 48 hours to show commitment- then full payment withing 10 days. I can work with you to arrange shipping or I would be willing to load it on a flatbed I have and go as far south as Massachusetts for 200.00 to cover my gas and tolls.  I will do my best to work with you. 

I have never sold anything like this on E bay.  This listing is also on craigslist so I reserve the right to remove this at any time.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

Dodge Challenger returns to Trans Am

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.
Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that - it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.
The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 raises $825,000 for charity

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

$60,000 doesn't strike us as a lot to pay for a muscle car with 707 horsepower on tap. $825,000... now that's a different story. But, according to the official SRT blog, that's how much one generous and eager buyer paid for the privilege of getting his (or her) hands on the very first new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Decked out in Stryker Red paint that's usually reserved for the Viper, the supercharged Challenger bearing the VIN 0001 went up for auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas on Saturday under the auspices of Barrett-Jackson. By the time bidding ended, the gavel dropped at $825,000 - nearly 14 times the sticker price - 100 percent of which will benefit Opportunity Vehicle, a charity that aids the intellectually handicapped in the Las Vegas Area.
