Long Wheelbase - Big Back Window
315 V8 - 3 Speed Column Shift
This auction is for an unmolested USED 1958 Dodge Pickup with Custom Cab trim. It has a 315 V8 engine with a column shift 3 speed manual transmission. This is a D100, which is a 1/2 TON and this one has the long wheelbase like the sporty Sweptsides utilize. This vehicle has virtually NO RUST... all the floorboards, fenders, hood, bed and tailgate are absolutely solid. Take a look at the cab mounts on the floor of the cab... they are some of the best I have ever seen in an original truck. It has the very desirable BIG Back Window, driver and passenger side door arm rests as well as driver and passenger side sun visors... these were all options on these trucks. ALL the cab door and fender stainless steel trim is on the truck or included as shown in the pictures. The stainless surrounds for the headlights are also included as shown in the pictures. It also includes the RARE Dolphin style hood ornament that is still mounted on the hood. This is a great little truck to restore as is OR a perfect DONOR candidate for use in restoring a rusty 1958-59 Dodge or Fargo Sweptside... You would have a lot less invested in this as a DONOR than it would cost to fix a lot of rust in another.
The wheel covers are missing, I have not tried to run the engine and it will likely need a rebuild. It needs a new front windshield and side door glass. It has a dented LEFT rear fender... This fender is one with the space for mounting a side spare tire. I am including an excellent STANDARD fender without the spare tire space for the buyer to use and then place the spare tire under the bed, as was frequently the case on these trucks.
Buyer must make a $500 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hours with the balance due by cleared check/money order prior to taking possession of the vehicle or cash at time of possession. Buyer is responsible for transportation of the vehicle but seller will assist if requested.
If you have been looking for a great little truck to restore, then this is the one for you... Bid NOW and Don't Miss Out as this is only a 5 Day Auction.
On Jan-20-13 at 11:26:20 PST, seller added the following information:
I have had a few questions regarding the roadworthy status of this vehicle. As I stated... This is a great candidate for restoration. I must add that it is CURRENTLY NOT ROADWORTHY. It will require restoration. Although the engine turns over, it may require rebuild of the engine and definitely the brakes. I have not tried to start the engine, as the gas tank is removed and sitting in the bed of the truck. The tachometer seen on the steering column was junk and has been removed.

2025 SRT Hellcat concepts as previewed by high schoolers
Thu, Jan 21 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has some very talented designers in its ranks. Like any good company, though, the automaker is always on the lookout for early talent. Even if they're still in high school. One of those talent-seeking initiatives is the company's Drive for Design contest, an event open to tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade students that are hoping for a future in design. For this year's event, students from across the country were given a shot to design their vision for a 2025 model-year Dodge SRT Hellcat. The results are impressive, as you can see in the gallery above. First place went to Ben Treinen, from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati. Second place was the only award to go to a student outside the Rust Belt, with Macon, GA's Harrison Kunselman, a student at Mount de Sales Academy taking the silver. Third place was won by a metro Detroiter – Bloomfield Hills High School student Hwanseong Jang, while fourth went to Andrew Gombac of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL. According to FCA, all four winners will have their sketches on display at the 2016 Autorama at Cobo Center at the end of February. They'll also win some pretty nifty prizes. First place will get a new Apple MacBook Pro, while second, third, and fourth get the new Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil (arguably just as good of a prize for budding designers). All four finishers will also attend a three-week automotive design course at Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, have dinner with FCA designers, and score three passes to Autorama. FCA will cover travel and lodging to Auburn Hills. Read on for the official blast from FCA.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

What does Jeep have cooking with this stretched Cherokee?
Mon, Feb 15 2016Chrysler has been spotted testing what appears to be a stretched Jeep Cherokee prototype. Which seems odd, considering that Jeep already makes a Grand Cherokee, and that's an entirely different model. The question then is just what the company has in the works here. We don't know for sure – but we do have some ideas. We're anticipating a new Grand Wagoneer to serve as the brand's flagship model, but stretching the Cherokee's wheelbase to leapfrog the Grand Cherokee's would take more than eight inches – and stretching a "compact" platform to get there wouldn't seem to make a lot of sense. Alternatively Jeep could be looking to wedge a new model into its lineup in between the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, potentially offering a third row of seats and wearing the Wagoneer name - sans the "Grand" - as part of a new range of seven-seaters. Just what the point would be, however, when the Dodge Durango already offers three rows based on the same platform as the Grand Cherokee, is a bit of a mystery. Another possibility is that it's not a Jeep at all, but rather a Dodge. The brand is in need of a replacement for the current Journey, and we're also waiting to see what FCA does to replace the Grand Cherokee since it unveiled the Chrysler Pacifica to replace the Town and Country. More of a crossover approach could take the Cherokee's Compact US Wide (CUSW) platform as its starting point, but stretched like this prototype to offer more space. Whatever it is, we're sure this won't be the last we'll have seen of it, so watch this space. Related Video:
