San Diego, California, United States
|
UP FOR SELL IS THIS SOLID SOUTHERN CALIFORINIA 1972 DODGE ADVENTURER SE TRUCK WITH A VERY STRONG RUNNING 440CI BIG BLOCK AND A 727 TRANSMISSION, HAS AN 489 CASE 8.75 REAR END WITH UNKNOWN GEAR RATIO (GUESSING ABOUT 3.23 RATIO BASED ON HOW NICE THE TRUCK CRUISES ON THE FREEWAY). THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING IS THAT I AM GETTING AN EVEN OLDER TRUCK THAT IS MORE MY STYLE. THIS TRUCK IS REALLY NICE SHAPE FOR ITS AGE. THE BODY IS VERY SOLID WITH ONLY SURFACE RUST ON THE ROOF AND INSIDE THE BED AND A LITTLE AROUND THE REAR WINDOW. I HAVE FOUND NO AREAS OF RUST THROUGH ON THIS BODY AT ALL. THE TRUCK WILL NEED SOME BODY WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FENDER AND DOOR (I HAVE A STRAIGHT FENDER AND A DOOR FOR IT THAT COMES WITH THE TRUCK IF YOU WANT THEM), BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SOME AUTO BODY PROFESSIONALS THAT THE FENDER AND DOOR CAN BE SAVED. THE TRIM ON THE TRUCK IS PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, HOWEVER IT IS NOT PERFECT. I DO HAVE SOME NOS TRIM FOR MOST OF THE PIECES THAT ARE DENTED, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. THE FRONT BUMPER IS NICE, BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE STRAIGHTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, (IT GOT PULLED OUT A LITTLE BIT). THE CHROME ON THE TRUCK IS NICE BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME PEPPERING IN IT IN SPOTS. THE WHEELS ARE 17" GREG WELD ROD LITES THAT WERE ONLY MADE FOR 2 TO 3 YEARS THAT ARE IN REAL NICE SHAPE. THE TIRES HAVE SOME LIFE LEFT IN THEM, BUT PROBALBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED SOONER THAN LATER. THIS TRUCK ORIGINALLY CAME WITH A 400CI BIG BLOCK THAT HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A 440 CI MOTOR. IT HAS THE HIGH PERFORMANCE EXAUST MANIFOLDS AND 3" INCH EXAUST THAT FLOWS INTO ONE GLASS PACK MUFFLER THAT SOUNDS MEAN WHEN YOU GET ON IT, BUT NOT TO LOUD WHEN YOU KEEP YOUR FOOT OUT OF IT. WHEN YOU DO CHOSE TO GET HEAVY FOOTED THIS TRUCK GETS UP AND MOVES AND IS A BLAST TO DRIVE IT RIDES REALLY NICE CONSIDEDRING THAT IT IS A 42 YEAR OLD TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS POWER BREAKS WITH DISC UP FRONT AND POWER STEERING ALSO. THE TRUCK HAS THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE MOTOR BUT IT IS NOT HOOKED UP AND APPEARS TO ALL BE THERE FOR THE MOST PART. THE HEATER IS NOT HOOKED UP AND I AM NOT SURE WHY. PLEASE LOOK AT THE MANY PICTURES THAT I HAVE ADDED AS THEY CAN SHOW YOU THE CONDITION OF THE TRUCK BETTER THAN I CAN DESCRIBE IN MOST CASES. USE THE ZOOM FEATURE FOR SOME REALLY DETAILED CLOSE UP IMAGES. I AM LISTING THIS TRUCK AUCTION STYLE WITH WHAT I FEEL IS A VERY REASONABLE RESEARVE PRICE THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE OF WHAT I NEED FOR THE TRUCK, SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN BIDDING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TRUCK ON CLOSE TO A 400 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IT JUST CRUISED RIGHT ALONG WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. THE TRUCK HAS 2 GAS TANKS AND I AM UNSURE OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT THEY HOLD. I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE TRUCK AS ACCURATLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL AT: 858-405-1094 OR MESSAGE ME HERE ON EBAY AND I WILL ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats
Wed, 10 Sep 2014We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.
Watch Jay Leno drive an ex-highway patrol '61 Dodge Polara
Tue, May 17 2016The latest vehicle to swing by Jay Leno's Garage is a 1961 Dodge Polara. This one was used by the California Highway Patrol half a century ago, ordered specially by the state police instead of the Darts that were usually used by law-enforcement. After sitting out in the sun for a few decades, it recently underwent a comprehensive, ground-up restoration by the historians and craftsmen at the Automobile Club of Southern California. As you can see for yourself, the result of the restoration is really quite stunning. The ACSC apparently spared no expense, bringing the 413-cubic-inch V8 back up to working order, along with the emergency lighting, radio, certified speedometer... the works. In the process they even found the engine cranked out more than the factory quote of 325 horsepower, recording 332 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. The Polara CHP cruiser hadn't even been back out on the freeway since the restoration was finished. But after getting the full run-down from the guys responsible for its resuscitation, Jay wasted little time in bringing it back to its natural habitat.
