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.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/videos]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Darrell Waltrip once said, "If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting." The sentiment behind that aphorism is causing my adrenal gland to wake up as Dodge and SRT drivers and engineers - somber-faced to a man - give me the track talk that will precede my driving the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT on the circuit at Portland International Raceway. PIR might not be Daytona, and the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat might seem tame to a legend like ol' Jaws, but there's a not-small part of me that's thinking about how hard Dodge's fire-breathing kitty might bite.
Just a few hours previous, I'd gotten behind the wheel of the Hellcat for the first time, letting its hyperbole-spitting, supercharged V8 Hemi pull me yieldingly through Portland's morning commuter traffic. Lulled into a cocky certainty by the Challenger's good manners at low speed, I drove the throttle just a hair too deep, too fast when I ran on to the highway ramp. For just an instant the rear tires were utterly drenched in torque, and the back end of the big Dodge loosened up like a drift car on a wet track. Throttle steer lives at the fleeting whim of your right foot in this car.
It was no big thing to lay off the gas and pull the Hellcat back in line as I entered the highway, but the incident did get me to thinking: What will this car do to me on a road course?

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
