1933 Dodge Pickup, Very Rare, Full Restoration, Suicide Doors, Chopped on 2040-cars
Newport Coast, California, United States
Every once in awhile a RARE truck comes on the market this1933 Dodge pickup truck is no exception and its waiting for the right owner near Orange County, CA This gorgeous pickup has lots of first class
work and parts. A chromed, 3 deuce
carburetor set atop a 327 Small Block Chevy creating approx 300HP that is
passed through a turbo 400 transmission. A 9-inch Ford rear end with 2.79 gears
plants the power to the street and gets you cruising. Handles excellent at 80MPH. The red leather interior features tuck and roll design on the bench seat and through the door panels, even behind the seat. A custom dash with contrasting baby moon gauges dominates the cockpit while the controls for the aftermarket heating unit reside below. The exterior stance has been modified, 2-inch
chopped top (notice it was done so the back window kept it's original size), design elements and trim parts such as the red grille with the
original Dodge Brothers badge, steel wire wheels, hubcaps, and rear roll pan
all help keep the traditional hot rod vibe despite the obvious high-end
professional finish throughout the entire truck. The truck does not boast power
steering but a new aftermarket steering box, the goal was to keep it a fancy rat rod / 50s style hot rod. Overall the truck drives and handles great (no play in the steering wheel) and the suspension feel is tight with plenty of stopping power. The tilt column is a new ididit and lokar floor shifter. The entire truck is steel and the body work
took over 7 months. No bondo and nothing but straight lines on all the door
jams/seams. 6 layers of clear coat later and the shine is memorizing. The front suspension features disc brakes and a dropped bell axle with leaf springs and shocks. The rear is leaf with shocks and drum brakes. This
truck is complete and rebuilt with love. This truck has been is insured for
$60,000. You can make a deal for $44,500. Comes with an extra set of custom offset new American racing 5-spoke (matte center with large chrome lip) wheels and tires. They are 2 inches larger than the current wire wheels @ 17"x7" rear with a deep dish chrome lip. This truck was purchased from the original
owner prior to being rebuilt, he was in his late eighties at the time - It has
quite a story. The old timer was a traveling salesman who made regular trips
from Seattle, Washington to New York City; he went through 4 engines on this
truck. When we asked him how many miles he thought were on it, he replied with
a straight face at least a million. A similar truck with a hemi sold for $62,500 - not a hard modification and brings instant equity. Serious inquiries only. We kept complete documentation on almost every part installed down to the spark plugs. Email: paul.c.simpson@me.com or call 949-244-2924 for additional information of to receive more pics.

NHTSA closes investigation on 4.7M FCA power modules, no recall
Thu, Jul 30 2015FCA US hasn't had the best time with recalls as of late. Not only did the company recently agree to greater safety oversight and paid $105 million to the government, that came just days after hacking fears prompted a 1.4-million model recall campaign. However, a recent decision to close an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration means that the automaker doesn't have to worry about another major recall possibly affecting 4.7 million vehicles, according to the agency's report (as a PDF). Last September, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate an alleged problem with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on these FCA US models. The group claimed that a fault with the component could cause a variety of maladies, including stalls, not starting, catching fire, unintended acceleration, and airbag non-deployment. At the time, it also submitted 70 cases where this had reportedly happened. According to NHTSA, "no valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components." The agency did find signs of an issue with the fuel pump relay in some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos, but FCA US issued recalls for the problem in September 2014 and February 2015. Without anything else to go on, the Feds don't think it's worth investigating this topic any more.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

"With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
