Very Rare 1961 Dodge W300 Power Wagon with Braden LU2 PTO Winch.
The 61 was the first year for this body style & although I've been collecting them for many years, this is the only 61 I've ever owned...there were less than 500 built & very few remaining on the planet. The 1961 can be identified by the unique aluminum grill. It's a beautiful truck, it has 4.88 gears, Dana 70 front & rear axles, & it has a new 225 slant 6, Brand new Michelin 11.00 x 16 Radials 
The truck has undergone much restoration over the past year. The chassis was completely disassembled every nut & bolt, stripped, painted with marine epoxy & reassembled with all new brake lines, fuel lines, shocks etc. The chassis was fully restored including rebuilt engine, transmission, new clutch, brakes, etc, etc. I have pictures of the restoration & will post as many as I can.
The body of the truck was restored by a friend & collector in the Seattle, WA area several years ago & is an excellent driver quality job. Everything was disassembled & painted, new white oak wood in the bed. The truck was used by him during the renovation of his home & so this is no trailer queen. It's real purdy & it gets comments everywhere it goes but it has marks & scratches, the paint is not flawless by any means but I have only ever seen a couple of W300's in my 20 years of collecting that are as nice as this one. She'd hold her own at any truck show :)
The Interior is excellent, the seat reupholstered & looks like new, new winch cable & winch engagement handle. Extremely presentable under the hood....It's as nice of a W300 as you'll find short of finding one that's underwent a $60k restoration & there's less than 500 miles on the mechanical restoration since the chassis was restored.
Tons of money & hundreds of hours have gone into this truck.
There's tons more pics of this truck I can send you or if you have requests of anything in particular, don't hesitate to email me or we can make arrangements to talk on the phone if you'd like more info or history on her.
I've restored many trucks over the past 20 or so years, many bought & sold here on Ebay with perfect feedback, as you can see.
I have no time for any goofballs or shenanigans. This is a beautiful machine, it's going to sell because I'm putting no reserve on it...so be nice!! I've always hated reserve price auctions...that isn't an auction is it? :) For you guys not wanting to wait 7 days, I added a buy it now but regardless, it will sell within 7 days.
Any questions I get, I'll try to post answers for everyone to read, so check back but please, just email & I can give you my number if you're a serious bidder & have questions or would like to see the truck in person. 
The truck is located in Vancouver, BC but it is Titled in Texas & will be delivered to Blaine, WA 98230 with Clear TX Title where it can be picked up by your transporter of choice & I can also help with arranging shipping for you if needed.
It's possible I could deliver the truck down as far as Northern California in June for fuel costs if you're not in a huge hurry for it.
Good luck bidding & thanks very much for your interest!
I'll post better pictures over the Weekend when I get some time.

Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.

Stellantis is open to putting a gas engine in its EVs to meet demand

Thu, May 2 2024

With the EV segment caught in a tug-of-war between market demand and government regulations, carmakers are having to adapt to avoid losing both money and sales. Stellantis is keeping every option on the table, including putting a gasoline engine in its electric models. Natalie Knight, the chief financial officer for Stellantis, made the announcement while presenting the carmaker's first-quarter shipment and revenues results. She cited the Jeep Wagoneer S as an example: Unveiled in January 2024, it will go on sale with an electric powertrain, but the brand hasn't ruled out expanding the lineup with a gasoline-powered model later on, according to Wards Auto. It could be a hybrid, or it might not get any type of electrification. The call will depend on whether there is "a clear demand for that in the market," the executive said. Compare that with comments from new Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa, who has said hybridizing the Wagoneer S isn't in the cards — but making a PHEV version of the all-electric upcoming Recon, however, might be. "I don't want to ignore the fact that we want to stay close to the consumer, and if we see there's an opportunity with those models that we introduced as BEVs first, we'll look into that," Knight said. Stellantis plans to launch 25 new models globally in 2024, and 18 of those will go on sale with electric power. However, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll remain electric-only throughout their production run. The brands that live under the Stellantis umbrella can build a gasoline-powered version of an EV with relative ease because many of the cars in the group's portfolio ride on a multi-energy platform. For example, the new Dodge Charger (pictured) will go on sale with an electric drivetrain later in 2024, but the range will grow with the addition of a 3.0-liter straight-six in 2025. Across the pond, the Jeep Avenger (a small, hatchback-like crossover not designed with our market in mind) was hyped as an all-electric model when it made its debut in 2023, but it quietly gained a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain in early 2024. The city-friendly Peugeot 208 is offered with piston or battery power, too. One of the next electric recipients of a gasoline engine might be the new-to-us Fiat 500e. The retro-styled hatchback has exclusively been available as an EV since it went on sale in Europe in 2020, but executives are reportedly looking at turning it into a hybrid due to slow sales.
