1961 Dodge W300 Powerwagon 4x4 on 2040-cars
Blaine, Washington, United States
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. |

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack
Thu, 17 Apr 2014While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.
How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
