1955 Dodge C3b Pickup, Short Lowside Bed on 2040-cars
West Richland, Washington, United States
|
1955 Dodge Pickup -- for the person that has to have something a little different than a Chevy or Ford! For 1950s pickups, this truck is a fairly uncommon one! When was the last time you saw one, either stock original or customized? I have seen very few in my lifetime growing up in the 60s and 70s. Typically you'll see a Chevy or a Ford at the car shows, but almost never a Dodge of this vintage. For 1955, Dodge updated the styling of their trucks to be more competitive with Ford and Chevy, but they were coming from behind in the styling dept (though engineering was rock solid). This 1955 Dodge truck quickly got them up to speed. Most of these Dodge trucks have the longer highside bed (116"), but this truck has the short lowside bed (108"). This gives it a very high appeal as a restored or customized truck for today's collector market. 1955 was the first year that Dodge offered V8 engines in their pickups. Originally, this was a 6 cyl truck, but it currently has a V8 engine in it (the engine is a 318 Poly V8 "Wideblock", about 1964 vintage). The truck is mostly straight and rust free. The only major body damage is on the rear fender, driver's side. There is a little rust on the bottom of the doors, but the cab floors are solid. The pickup bed is all present, but in old worn condition. Most of the pickups of this vintage that you see are Fords and Chevys, and the Dodge brand is fairly uncommon today. Dodge redesigned the pilothouse trucks for 1954, then added a true wrap around windshield for 1955 and the more modern rear fender design greatly added appeal compared to the earlier Dodge Pilothouse trucks. Dodge did maintain the butterfly hood through 1956 which was getting to be a dated style. The pickup has not been run for years, but with basic maintenance for proper startup, it should run. The exact prior history of the truck is unknown. It has been in the eastern Washington area for the past 10-15 years though. Last driven about 6 or 7 years ago. I have owned it for over a year, but have other projects in mind to pursue. I do accept Paypal, buyer pays all transaction fees. Full payment must be received within 5 days of end of auction. No zero feedback bidders. Buyer is responsible for the shipping and related arrangements though I will provide reasonable help on my end to ready the pickup for transport. No warranties on any part of the vehicle is given or implied. Please contact me with any questions and I will do my best to supply the info to you. Thanks for bidding on this pickup! |

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers
Sat, 15 Nov 2014Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...
Dodge Challenger returns to Trans Am
Fri, 15 Aug 2014NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.
Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that - it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.
The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.
Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
