Up for auction is my 1989 Dodge Dakota Sport custom, inspired by the 1989 Shelby Dakota trucks. Looking for more power than the original V6, I installed a 5.2 liter V8 engine and transmission from a 1991 dakota in the summer of 2011.

The Good

5.2 liter V8 runs strong and doesn't smoke or leak oil
Solid body and frame with only minor surface rust
Factory roll bar and Bosch off-road lights
Water pump recently replaced
Driver's side CV axle, upper and lower ball joints recently replaced
Passenger side rear wheel bearing recently replaced
Good, reliable brakes
Beautiful interior in very good shape
Custom fabricated .25" diamond plate front skid plate
Factory skid plates for transfer case and fuel tank
1" thick rubber custom bed liner, bed is in great shape underneath
Original jack and handle are securely stored behind the seat
Also included in the auction is the original owner's manual with the original dealer bill of sale and a Hayne's repair manual.

The Bad

The transmission is going out and will need to be rebuilt.
The flexplate is cracked by at least two of the flywheel bolt holes, this would be replaced easily with a transmission rebuild anyway.
The truck has a starter button because the neutral safety switch on the transmission is faulty.
The hood has a slight dent and the passenger headlight assembly is cracked from a minor fender-bender.
The roll bar needs to be repainted as well as a few other spots on the body such as the roof and the tailgate.
The power steering pump reservoir leaks power steering fluid
The 4x4 vacuum switch on the transfer case needs to be cleaned or replaced
The smog pump pulley bearings squeak sometimes

With a little TLC, this will make a beautiful truck, toy, or off-road project.

If you have any other questions about the vehicle or terms of sale, please ask.

Upon close of the auction, $100.00 deposit must be made through PayPal within 72 hours. Buyer is responsible for any and all pickup and transportation costs. The truck will need to be towed as it is not in reliable running condition, though it does run and drive well enough for an inspection of the vehicle or to load / unload for transportation. Bidders are welcome to come inspect the vehicle in person, just send me a message or call me at (304) 871-3181 to arrange an appointment.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat ringtone revs up [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The best (or worst, depending on your views) thing about smartphones is that you're able to carry lots, and lots of useful stuff around in your pocket. That means you can always have a phone, messaging service, email, flashlight, calculator, dictionary, encyclopedia, and literally thousands of other things on your person at all times. Now, we can add one more thing for you to carry about in your little slab of aluminum, glass and plastic - a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Now, you obviously can't carry around a 707-horsepower muscle car around in your pocket. That'd be ridiculous, impractical and uncomfortable. You can, however, carry around the noise made by said muscle car's 6.2-liter, supercharged Hemi V8, thanks to a new, free-to-download ringtone from the folks at Dodge and SRT.
We can't embed the ringtone here, so if you'd like to hear exactly how it'll sound when your phone goes off, you'll need to head over to the SRT Hellcat's page. If that's more trouble than it's worth, the same ringtone was attached to a tiny speaker on the press kit for the mighty Challenger, and was captured on video by our own Seyth Miersma (don't worry, he's already been soundly dressed down for shooting a video in portrait mode).

Roadkill builds crazy-cheap 1968 Dodge Charger rat rod using an old motorhome

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

Certain requests for description simply cannot be fulfilled, like if someone asked you to describe Picasso's Guernica or Gilliam's Brazil. There is only one appropriate answer to such entreaties, and that is: "You just gotta see it." That's where we are with the latest episode of Roadkill, wherein Messr's Freiburger and Finnegan dig out a 1968 Dodge Charger that Freiburger acquired in exchange for a set of cylinder heads, and intend to stuff it with the big-block motor from a long-bed, three-quarter ton Dodge pickup.
Only the pickup is too nice to tear apart, and the Charger needs a whole lot more lovin' - and parts - than initially expected. Enter, stage right, the Class A Dodge Pace Arrow motorhome with a 440 big-block purchased for $1,000, and a retired Plymouth Fury from a previous episode.
What ensues over the course of the 40-minute installment is more cuttin', yankin', leakin', stallin', hammerin' and smokin' action than you've seen in a long time, and some techniques that would have made even Cooter wonder, "I'm not sure if we should do that." By the end, though, the payoff is good enough to make you think about perusing AutoTrader for a '68 Charger just to see if maybe...
