1961 Dodge Power Wagon Wm300 Flat Fender on 2040-cars
|
All original, unrestored driver. This truck was bought new by the Bordens Milk Co. in NYC. It was a tow truck used to recover their broken DIVCO delivery trucks. The lettering is still visible on the doors. It was sold off to a private owner in upstate NY in the late 70s. It later found its way down to a NJ farm where it sat for many years in the barn. This is what helped to preserve the truck so well. It is all complete and all original to the best of my knowledge. I have removed and stored the tow boom to make it into a regular pickup. The rear crash bumper was removed and scrapped. Clean NJ title.
The cab is very solid. The only cab rust that exists is in the right boot cowl. Its at the bottom edge and is a very easy repair. The front fenders are solid as is the hood. The rear fenders have been patched several times over the years. The running boards are in good shape. The bed is also in good shape, but needs a new bed floor and strips. These are easily procurable through Vintage Powerwagon or MarKay. The tailgate needs some rust repair or replacement. I have a used tailgate to replace it. All the lights and accessories work with the exception of the wipers and gas gauge. The front bumper has the Braden winch mounted, but i never finshed installing the remaining parts to get it working. i have everything but cable. The interior needs to be restored however all the original hardwear and trim is included. as well as the original Budd lugnut wrench and jack! The drive line i belive to be original to the truck. The engine runs great. No smoke or noises. It runs nice in all temperatures. It has the original "rare" overflow coolant tank. The brake master cyl was rebuilt as well as the power brake booster. The brake assemblies where all cleaned lubed and reassembled with new wheel cyls. These brakes work awsome. The gear box is solid and has a synco between 2nd and 3rd. The 4x4 works great and the front axle has unlockable hubs. The tires are in good shape and all hold air. The stearing is nice and tight as well as the front end. No wobbles or noise. This truck is running and driving perfect. I was enjoying this truck as a survior and was taking it to many car shows. She brought home a couple of survior trophies too. This is the perfect powerwagon to enjoy and restore down the road, or tear right in and make it a pristine example! I had all intetions of keeping this forever, but life gets in the way sometimes. Im not desperate to sell. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. But please dont waste my time and yours if you are just kicking tires. Thank you |

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Fri, 08 Feb 2013For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
