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.

Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world

Thu, 14 Aug 2014



"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.

Over 1,000 Ram pickups lap Nurburgring in world record parade

Tue, Nov 8 2016

How many Ram trucks would you think you'd see in one place anywhere outside the US? If you by any chance happened to be at the Nurburgring Nordschleife track in Germany the past weekend, you would have seen a great deal of them, as Ram enthusiasts grouped together to set a Guinness World Record. The record called for as many pick-up trucks as possible to form a parade, with the previous, Mexican-set record having consisted of 638 trucks; the earlier Ram-specific record featured 451 trucks. On November 5th, as many as 1,152 Ram trucks gathered at the 'Ring, and of course a lap of the Nordschleife track was the place for the actual parade. This video, which is more than a half-hour, shows the multitude of Rams slowly lapping the track, with flags waving in the cold November air. Honking horns was strictly prohibited, and the Rams did not off-road through the Adenauer Forst S-bend's grass. This is also one of the rare Nurburgring videos where no-one crashes into the railings at great speed. The parade was arranged by a vehicle trading company called AutoGlobalTrade, which originally aimed for 1,317 trucks to arrive at the Nurburgring, but the official number is still something to be proud of. The majority of the trucks were German, with some Rams having arrived from neighboring countries.
