1960 Dodge Pioneer

Offered for sale is this extremely rare 1960 Dodge Pioneer 2 door post.  This was the very first year for the Dodge Dart and the uni-body construction.  This beautiful example from the Chrysler Design Team of yesteryears, although pretty much the last year for the big fins from Mr. Exner's vision.  This stunning automobile shows only 44,069 low miles on the odometer (unknown for sure if the mileage is original, but the condition of the car certainly does support the low mileage, as does the statement from the previous owner).

This very nice and rare Mopar did receive a very substantial cosmetic restoration a few years ago by the previous owner who had purchased the car in the early 70's.  The car was repainted it's original color, a spruce green metallic with a white top.  Most of the chrome was re-plated and the stainless steel trim work was polished.  The interior was completely re-done as well, in a light jade green that very nicely compliments the attractive two-tone paint scheme.  After enjoying the car for awhile, the owner put it in storage for a few years.  The exterior paint still looks amazing, but there are a couple of very minor blemishes, scratches and imperfections that are normally seen on older restored drivers.  The bumpers, sill plates and other components were re-chromed again last year and are absolutely gorgeous.  All the stainless steel and aluminum trim is in excellent shape.  Some of the pot metal has very minor pitting which is normal and to be expected on any older car.

The 318 V8 engine fires right up and purrs like a kitten.  The push button Power Flite automatic transmission shifts very smoothly.  The car runs and drives really, really nicely and is an absolute pleasure to drive.  All the brakes were rebuilt by the previous owner  a couple of years ago (new wheel cylinders, shoes, rebuilt mast cylinders, etc.).  The glass is in great condition and most of the weather strip seals and rubber were replaced.  All the electrical components work, except the radio.  Even the foot pedal operating the windshield wipers works! 

The aftermarket "mag" wheels and near new steel belted Kelly Charger P225 70 R 15 tires are a nice cosmetic and utilitarian addition to this very sharp looking car.  I don't have the original wheels, but I have the original tires (Remington Cushion-Aire Poly 4ply Polyester Tubeless 478)! and they have very good tread still, but are quite a bit older and probably should only be used for display or collecting purposes.  I also have a set of four original14" hubcaps, which the previous owner had left in the trunk. I think the car would look even better and more original with the hubcaps and while walled tires.  A set of 14" steel wheels should not be too hard to find.

This very nice and attractive classic car does not need much, if anything at all and is ready to go as a great and enjoyable driver.  You are welcome to come and inspect the car for yourself and appreciate it.  A copy of the older - but original -  build sheet found in the car will also be included!  This gorgeous automobile is attractively and reasonably priced and has an easily attainable and equally reasonable reserve as well.

This older restored Mopar - First year of the Dodge Dart - is well worth the investment and will be a very nice and smart addition to any car collection. You would be hard pressed to find AND restore a car at this price level and enjoy if immediately as a really cool driver that you can take to cruises, car shows, etc. 

A $520 non-refundable deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction payable via PayPal, with the remaining balance due within 48 hours via Bank Wire.  Car is sold as-is, sale is final with no return or refund.  Buyer is responsible for all transportation and pick-up arrangements and associated costs to their location.  Vehicle must be picked up within seven to ten days after the end of the auction.  Extra time may be made available if necessary depending on the buyer's needs such as exporting.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
