1954 Dodge Pick Up Truck

Engine:  6 Cylinder flat head with 103,500 miles that are believed to be original.  The engine was over hauled about 20k miles ago.  Vehicle still has floor pedal starter.  Pretty much everything is still original.  Engine runs excellent, does not burn any oil.  It does have a mild leak but I am not certain exactly where it is coming from, not a significant leak.  

Transmission:  3 Speed Manual transmission on the column.  The linkage on the transmission needs attention.  It has had issues with difficulty shifting into various gears that are not issues with the transmission or clutch.  It is an issue with the linkage adjustment only.  After discussing this with a transmission shop I am told this is a common problem with the cars that have three on the column manual transmissions. Apparently the linkage has a very specific adjustment pattern that if it is not adjusted properly has difficulty going in to gear.  This is an easy fix and may be fixed this week, however I can not guarantee that so assume it still needs to be addressed.

Interior:  The dashboard has no dents or tears in it. The seats have been recovered recently.  The door panels are relatively new, however they do not look to be the best quality door covering.  The head liner is relatively new and everything else looks relatively new as well. Please see the photos for details. 

Exterior:  Please look at the photos for details.  I am not familiar with the history of the paint job.  It looks to me like the original paint that was possibly painted over with the same color in an attempt to freshen up the paint without doing a complete re-paint.  You be the judge because I can not tell.  The paint looks to be in pretty decent shape, but by no means is it show ready.  It would benefit from being buffed out, again please look closely at the photos as they will be the best indication of the condition of the paint job.  There is no issues with rust.  Look closely at the photos, there are a few areas where some surface rust may be starting, but there are no rust holes anywhere.  This is a very solid truck.

Brakes: The brakes need to be bled, I may have this done before the purchase is complete. 

Overall this is an excellent daily driver that needs very little to move into a show vehicle.  Again please let the pictures be a guide as to the condition of the vehicle.  The truck is all original and runs great. Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  I hate to have to add this but due to others I must. You are not bidding to come and look at the vehicle, you are bidding to own.  All bids are binding and must be honored.  The vehicle can not be released until funds are cleared.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.
