Great trim - OEM Aluminum rims

A real one of a kind; I will venture to say a person would be hard pressed to find a handful like this in the country. This vehicle is in overall excellent condition and has been well cared for. It starts easy - drives very well - interior is very nice - and exterior is overall nice for vehicle's originality and age. Definitely would be a great deer hunting rig or off-road'er as it is but I believe it can become much more... a good body repair guy could make this a really sweet ride.  The 318 cid V8 - NP435 4 Speed Manual Transmission - CAD Dana 44 axle - 106" Wheelbase powertrain configuration is virtually impossible to find on one vehicle and is popular for rock crawling enthusiasts.

Vehicle condition: I tried to include a lot of "tell all" pictures that show vehicle's true state of condition - I will try to put it in words...

The engine starts easy - appears to be original - does not smoke - is dry underneath - has good power. AC and smog systems appear to be intact. Carburetor appears to be well tuned - not running rich or lean;  but it does have a fast idle that may be result of vacuum leak or require adjustment. 

The transmission shifts out smoothly - clutch appears to be good - engages as it should - no sign if slippage.

Drivetrain is very solid - 4 wheel drive engages and disengages when transferred. No slack can be heard or felt in drivelines or front axles. There is a very small amount of slack in steering wheel - it drives straight and does not road walk. The replaceable shoes between steering shaft and gearbox most likely are to blame - very common and inexpensive to replace.

The interior is in very good condition. The driver seat has wear in lower cushion but sits well.  The rest are very nice. Power door locks work. Power windows work. Rear hatch shuts easy as do doors. Center console is in good condition. Carpet has a few stains but is in excellent condition for its age. Dash is tight and rattle free. The odometer is showing 71k miles, I do not have any documentation to reflect it as actual. 

Exterior is in overall good condition but will be the biggest area for attention. The lower quarters in front of and behind of rear wheels has rusted through because of sustained buildup - it does appear to be localized - no sign of rust in bottom of doors, floor pans, or bottom of bedsides... I tried to show this in pictures - the underneath has good ol' oklahoma red clay but is rust free other than on surface of exposed undercarriage. The bedsides on driver and passenger side have dents in nearly same spot. The hood has hail dents and so does top of cab but not as noticeable. The rear bumper is aftermarket and does show chrome peeling. All glass appear to be in good condition. All chrome trim appear to be in place other than ram ornament on hood. The tires have good rubber and wheels appear to be in good condition. Again, I believe this vehicle is a good solid rarity worthy restoration. But if you are one of the ones looking for a weekend deer hunting vehicle, slap on some or just drive it as is and head for the woods.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you that I may not have answered in the text. This vehicle is available for local test drives and 3rd party inspections. Full size pictures can be sent to those that request by email. I can pick you up at local airport or help with shipping quotes. 

It is for sale locally at 3,995.00. The auction reserve is set at $3,500. I reserve the right to end auction early due to an on the spot purchase... BUT to be fair to out of area buyers, if auction reserve is met; I will require home town buyers to bid through auction, and vehicle WILL SELL to highest bidder. 

Thank you.

Man hits 153 mph on I-75 in Dodge Magnum

Tue, May 19 2015

A man driving in Michigan took his 2005 Dodge Magnum practically to the limit in the wee hours of the morning on May 19 when the Michigan State Police caught him on radar going 153 miles per hour on Interstate 75 near Detroit. The 21-year-old driver was spotted around 3:00 AM, according to The Detroit News. Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Michael Shaw told Autoblog that officers initially saw the man on radar doing 79 mph in a 70-mph-zone, and they started following him. He eventually clocked 153 mph. However, First Lt. Shaw was clear that there was never a pursuit. "Speeding isn't necessarily a reason to put the public at risk," he said. The situation ended rather abruptly, though. The driver pulled off the interstate and behind a building. He remained in the vehicle, and police arrived and arrested him. According to First Lt. Shaw, the man was driving home from work and alcohol wasn't a factor. The Magnum has been impounded, and the driver was charged with reckless driving. Unfortunately, First Lt. Shaw said that he didn't know what engine was in the wagon, but as enthusiasts, we're curious. After all, the 2005 Magnum RT was governed to 130 mph and the SRT8 wasn't unleashed until 2006, which means either the wagon must've been derestricted to hit such high speeds or that police have the year wrong. We'll let you know if we figure that one out...

Experience the Woodward Dream Cruise in a Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Thu, Aug 20 2015

While Autoblog was consumed by coverage of the increasingly important Monterey Car Week last weekend, there was another big even going on. The Woodward Dream Cruise is significantly lighter in terms of news, but there's no denying that it's a far bigger, and far more egalitarian than what the wine-and-cheese crowd experience on the links at Pebble Beach. The Dream Cruise crams tens of thousands of cars and over a million spectators along a four-lane ribbon of asphalt between Ferndale and Pontiac, MI. What's remarkable aren't these numbers, though, so much as the distances they travel. Owners and admirers come from far and wide, across the United States and in some cases across the globe, to take in the spectacle. This year, local radio and television coverage featured fans that traveled from Japan, Australia, and Europe, just to take in the cruise. Of course, we realize that not everyone can make the pilgrimage to Woodward Avenue. With that fact in mind, we decided to bring a bit of the Dream Cruise to Autoblog with a time-lapse video of the cruise route. You can experience the good (a Lamborghini Gallardo, Chevrolet Chevelle, and Oldsmobile Cutlass 442), the bad (the traffic jams), and the ugly (no, your 2003 Ford Focus does not qualify as a classic, get the hell out of the cruiser lanes). So join us, as we turn off 8 Mile Road behind the wheel of our 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and run north, through Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Huntington Woods, Berkley, Bloomfield Township, and Bloomfield Hills, before ending up on Wide Track Drive in Pontiac.

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.
