1957 Dodge Power Giant W100 V8 4x4 project truck. No Rust at 54,000 miles!
Rare first year factory 4wd. I think this is truck number 540 of about 600 made that year. These were the top dog in their day by combining the rugged and proven 4wd of the WWII Power Wagon with the modern style and impressive V8 power of the regular 2wd Dodge Truck line. 1957 was a one-year-only body style and very few V8 4wd trucks were ordered due to the high cost. Fortunately, the U.S. Government bought quite a few for Forest Service, BLM, and Rural Fire. This truck was a Forest Service Rural Fire unit. The boys in the motor-pool knew this one was special so they gave it dual exhaust and a very nice Green Metal Flake. This truck has the first gen 318. The motor starts and runs strong, but the carb needs a seal kit. It has the 4-speed manual, NP201 transfer case, first year Dana 44 axle, and first year Dodge 8-3/4" rear. The brakes and steering need attention. It can drive on a trailer, but should be gone through before hitting the highway. The seats are a bit rough and need bolted down, but have nice covers. The bed needs new wood. Rear glass missing. Overall this truck has awesome style and solid metal, it just needs those finishing details that I can't do since I am in a wheelchair now. Please see pictures! EXTRA passenger door included in the sale. I also have a 1957 W200 parts chassis that is for sale (transfer case, drive lines, springs, axles, steering gear). I have many other parts including extra fenders a 56 front clip, a 57 short box, and other early Dodge Truck parts that I need to clean out. CLEAR MONTANA TITLE is in my name. This is a 'no-reserve' auction with no 'buy-it-now' price. Highest bidder wins the truck. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. Truck is sold as is where is. No rush to move it, but if you need more than 30 days please let me know and we can work something out. Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due in 7 days. No payment plans. Truck is located in Stevensville, MT 59870. I hear uship.com has good shipping rates. Thanks for checking out this cool old truck! |

Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
