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.

Cars.com runs 11-second quarter with Dodge Charger Hellcat
Mon, Jun 1 2015The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its Challenger sibling are two of the heroes of the modern performance world. With a headline-grabbing 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, their output even shames many supercars. But how quick can one really cover a quarter mile? Cars.com recently decided to find out by taking a Charger Hellcat to the drag strip to see if the sedan lived up to Dodge's 11-second claims. The results were quite impressive. After 13 quarter-mile runs of adjusting variables like the tire pressures and the car's various electronic aids, the Charger Hellcat managed a pass in 11.03 seconds at 126.61 mph – the pinnacle result of the day. This car was mechanically stock and wore the optional Pirelli P Zero tires. According to Cars.com, other quick sprints reached 11.09 seconds and 11.1 seconds, which even beat the site's 11.41-second best from a Challenger Hellcat last year. Getting the Hellcat's prodigious power down without losing traction was a challenge, even on the summer tires. Cars.com thought it had a run that could have dropped below 11 seconds, but then the wheels spun. Using the factory-recommended pressures, the Charger Hellcat was no still slouch with an 11.27-second time recorded, but taking things down to 25 psi proved the quickest at the strip. We already knew that the Charger Hellcat was a wonderful vehicle for eating up huge gulps of asphalt at high speeds and could verify its 204-mile-per-hour top speed (quite a bit faster, incidentally, than the Ferrari California T's 196 mph top-speed). Apparently, the 11-second quarter-mile claim is just as accurate. Also, for any curious owners, the Cars.com story divulges many of the tweaks required to reach this seriously quick time.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls
Fri, Dec 5 2014The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.
Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways
Sat, Feb 7 2015Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
