Fresh back from Vegas, SLC, Moab, Telluride and Carbondale, Colorado! This is a 1984 Dodge Van with extended body 4x4 van - V8 engine that always starts, runs smooth and drives great! Originally a CA vehicle, so it's a clean runner. It has a lift, 4x4 drive train and a high top as you can see in the photos. It's reliable, tight and mechanically sound. Engine rebuilt around 90K, so it's fresh and solid. It's a great opportunity to create your own / finish this home build or have someone add in the rest for you. We've camped in it, driven it around town and all over the Western US and had a lot of fun.  We've owned it for a few years and hate to see her go. Reliable and fun traveling all over OR, CA, ID, CO, UT and more. A great camper, mobile hunting cabin, home-built Sportsmobile-type rig, surf van, Baja traveler or whatever you want to do! Just won runner up in Van Life competition in CO.

+ Brand new custom memory foam cushions in back -- leatherette for easy cleaning and comfort ($600) -- never slept on, but super comfortable

Other things to note in general:
- This is a project or finished, it's up to you - the interior isn't "finished" but we built it to our needs / wants. Mechanically, this is a solid vehicle, but you can make it your own on the inside. The hard work is done (rust mitigation, insulation, some interior build out) but from above the line of the van / high top, it's insulated, but not finished. We left it this way to put surfboards / paddleboards inside the van for safety
- comes with spare tire
- no back bumper
- custom front bumper is ready for a wench
- has a/c but it's currently disconnected
- heat / defrost works great!
- always starts right up no matter what, but is a little slow to get warmed up when it's very cold out (below 10 degrees)
- all glass in tact and sealed
- new-ish paint
- up to date service

Comes with all receipts, jack, Hayes manual and a few other parts (extra seat belt, tail lights, filters, etc.) and is ready to roll. Also has blueprints for interior options.

Title in hand for easy sale.
Delivery is 100% buyer's responsibility - I will help arrange pick up.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with '600-plus horsepower' officially unveiled [w/video]

Tue, 20 May 2014

Dodge has officially unveiled the most powerful vehicle to ever wear the Challenger name - the SRT Hellcat - complete with over 600 horsepower courtesy of a supercharged, 6.2-liter Hemi V8. It will be offered alongside the 485-hp Challenger SRT.
The new, force-induced V8 isn't just the most powerful ever fitted to the Challenger, it's the most powerful eight-cylinder Chrysler Group has ever built. Power figures aren't finalized, so expect to see "over 600 hp" bandied about quite a lot. That fury will be channeled through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Yes, over 600 ponies through an eight-speed auto. So far, the only vehicle we know of that delivers more output through that many gears is the as-yet untested Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Sadly, we don't have performance metrics just yet, although if this thing can't crack four seconds to 60 miles per hour, we'll be pretty surprised.
As is the theme nowadays, the 2015 Challenger SRT features a number of driving modes, governing power output, shift speeds for the 8AT, steering effort, traction control settings and suspension settings. There are three pre-programmed options - Default, Sport and Track - and a Custom mode that allows drivers to mix and match to their heart's content.

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.

Lackluster Dodge Dart sales trigger layoffs

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Hidden amidst the overall very positive sales figures that Chrysler released earlier this week were a few disappointments, the biggest of which may be the Dodge Dart. While Dodge sales in general were down 11 percent from a year ago, the Dart's poor figures stood out from the rest - with 4,888 units sold, the Dart was down 37 percent in February.
It comes as little surprise, then, that the automaker has announced layoffs at its assembly plant in Belvidere, IL. According to The Daily Herald, Dodge will temporarily lay off 325 workers "to balance vehicle supply with current sales demand." Put more simply, there are more Darts than buyers at the moment...
We don't think the Dodge Dart is a bad car, but it's playing in a market that offers a few standout sellers, like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. According to AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan, as quoted by The Daily Herald, "great incentives on the Dodge Avenger" are also partly to blame for the Dart's poor showing.
