 I lost 5000 square feet of storage this fall so am thinning the herd. I bought this truck as a runner/shop truck about a year ago. It has a 1973 455 Olds, a Turbo 400 AT, a 9" GM rear end, and a Pontiac Ventura sub-frame. It runs great, drives and stops straight and is a nice driving old truck.

I've always liked this series of Dodge pickup, it is the first year after the weird flying saucer headlights and it has the faux hood scoops. The descriptive term "ratrod" is way over used today but if you were to look up the word, you would see a picture of this truck. The floors are rusty with the holes patched with license plates, the attachment of the steering column to the dash is crude, there is a Hurst Slap Stick shifter on the roof and of course you gotta love the gas tank in the pickup bed that is made from and old beer keg and attached with old chain. This truck has personality with a great look in hotrod flat black and hand pin-stripping, smoothies, moon caps & whitewalls. The exhaust system's new, brakes work great, tires are at 50% +/- tread, and has had recent tune-up with hoses, belts, wires, plugs, oil change/filter, and fresh fluids.

A word about the motor: The guy I bought if from indicated the engine had been gone thru. I do not have any supporting evidence but can say that it has great oil pressure, it doesn't smoke, and that it runs great. The only knock on runability is that it is cold blooded. I had my mechanic go thru the carb but it might needs some further tweaking. After it is warmed up a bit, it runs strong.

There are a few smallish dings/dents, please note in particular the dish shaped dent at the rear of the drivers side pickup box. The pickup bed is solid, the windshield is cracked, the horn needs to be connected, there is a new horn under the hood mounted on the driver side fender, and at this moment, the fan motor isn't working. The lights work and it has a decent stereo. The drag plate is not included.

My truck is far from perfect but you could drive it anywhere reliably. Please ask questions if you are uncertain about anything. Please ck my other auctions, I will be listing a really nice, solid, 1968 Dodge pickup for parts or restoration.

Dodge performance trio thrashed on Roadkill

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Of all the shows that Motor Trend does, Roadkill is probably the last one we'd pick to evaluate the latest performance automobiles. That's not a slight against David Freiburger or Mike Finnegan, who host the show: they're certified gear-heads and the go-to guys when it comes to hot rods, rat rods and anything grungier than it is shiny. But as exemplary as they are of Detroit muscle, the Charger Hellcat, Challenger Hellcat and Viper are also shiny new pieces of metal. Still, since it will now be sponsoring the show, someone at Dodge apparently thought it would be a good idea to hand Freiburger and Finnegan the keys to the company's top performance models. So to ring the best out of them, they solicited help from some of their colleagues at MT, gained access to a closed-down air strip, devised as many ways as they could to destroy the tires, and proceeded to set about doing exactly that. Watch the grin-inducing mayhem unfold in the half-hour clip above. Related Video:

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
