This is an original 1977 D100 shortbed 2wd 1/2 ton with a factory 440 4bbl.

 The original colors are Metallic Black

with a Cashmere Tan center band. The truck runs and yard drives but needs total

restoration. It is sold AS IS and must be picked up in Minden Nevada 89423.

Please ask questions before bidding. I have additional pictures if you send your email.

The title is from the previous owner and is signed off. This is fine for some states (not all)

and will not work for Canada and other countries. Please check your local, or state

requirements for transfer, smog requirements, and anything else that might 

be relevant. 

NO RESERVE Very reasonable start. Or Buy it Now to avoid letting it get away.


There were several magazine articles done in 77 about a 440 shorty

that was in the reverse colors. The reviews were generally that it reminded

the testers of the early Chargers when they still had some "Charge". One driver

reported burying the speedo on a long straight stretch. Check out a copy

of Pickup Van and 4wd March 1977. They seemed to have a pretty good time with 

that truck.

The 5th character in the VIN is the engine. For 77 "D" was a 440 with a Thermoquad.





According to the numbers guru and his lil white book, in 1978 the production

for 1/2 ton 2wd with a 440 motor was only 74 units.

There is no known production figure for 77 440s.

If anybody has the info, please send me an email.


More 78s have surfaced than 77s. This is a 1977.

It has it's original door vin tag, and a clear California title

from the previous owner. It was parked for a long time.

The original primary color is Sunfire Metallic Black with

a Cashmere Tan center band. Most of the paint is original,

with what looks like some spot painted areas of the tan.

The interior is Adventurer level trim in Saddle. It has Air Conditioning,

Aux fuel tank, Cargo light, Volt Vac gauges and the previous owner was

sure the Chrysler road wheels were original. They were optional.


CONDITION,

Total miles unknown, it shows 40,000 maybe 140K? or?

It runs and drives but needs complete restoration. It has leaking

headers and exhaust, The engine starts and runs out well and has oil pressure

(40 at hot idle) but may have an intake leak, and other problems causing

a rough uneven idle. The tranny shifts and the brakes work.

Not working: Tail lights, gauges, speedo, windows, AC, wipers,

It is missing: Some of the AC components, evap etc. Most of the smog

parts, does not have the original Carb. The tires are junk. It is missing the frame

gas tank and has only the cab tank which it runs off. It is also missing

whatever else is not shown in the pictures.The windshield is cracked.

The interior has overall wear and tear and requires restoration.

The carpet was removed (and thrown away) to inspect the floors. 

The body and frame: the floor pans have some heavy scale rust and pinholes,

as does the floor of the bed, but it all seems solid. The radiator core support

has some rust thru, below the battery from the acid. Though the body has some small

dents including the rockers, and the front fenders, it is overall

a very straight original truck from a dry climate. The hood has some small

holes drilled on the sides of the banks, probably 440 emblems.

The bed had a vinyl cover and still has the snaps (unfortunately)

The frame has minor surface rust and was notched (cut) in several spots

on the driver's side for header clearance. The roof has an after market skylight.

The rear end is a corporate 9.25.

The front has a factory sway bar. It rides very stiff.

I have only driven it around the block and it is amazingly quick.

The truck is sold AS IS must be paid for in full within 5 days of auction

close, and must be picked up in Minden Nevada 89423 within 30 days.

It should be trailered.

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time

Mon, Jul 20 2015

The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
