Up for auction is my 1959 Dodge D300 9' long bed pickup truck. It's a great truck that will work hard. The engine always starts reliably and sounds like music. It really does purr and it's great to start it up and surprise people with the sound. The truck has all of its original details including the horse hair bench seat, cardboard headliner, rubber floor mat, bake light knobs, chrome trims etc. It has a four speed manual transmission with the floor shifter which is great. It has the "granny gear" for really heavy loads or pulling out tree stumps. It is fantastic for scoops of gravel or sand and concrete. It can easily take on 2,200 lbs of cargo. It always turns heads at Home Depot etc. It is really fun to drive with the rare two wrap around windows that make it feel you are in an observation tower. It has no blind spot! The small window vents are great for ventilation.

I purchased the truck from a family member in 1993 and I am the second owner. The first owner was a furniture maker and used the truck only to pick up materials and to deliver his work. It had 37,000 miles on it when I bought it.

All of the systems work properly except for the parking brake. It needs to be adjusted around the drive shaft. This explains the squished drivers side door. I lent the truck to a friend and it rolled back and was stopped by the open door. I spotted the exact door on Ebay two weeks ago for $200. I also installed an electric fuel pump on a trip because I didn't have time to wait for a replacement mechanical one.

The tires are 18" Bias Ply for really good strength but radials are now available if the new owner chooses. he I would keep the truck but I need a tow vehicle for my camper and this truck is not suited for long cross country towing.

Also for sale locally.Good luck and thanks for looking.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.

Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
