The last trucks Dodge ever made bigger than a 1-Ton were in 1977 and here is a very rare and special opportunity for you to own one of the coolest and most unique Dodge Trucks you're ever going to see!
This Incredible1977 Dodge D-700 Custom Race Car Hauler was built and owned by the Legendary Cotton Owens. Cotton built this truck for his own personal use in 1987 starting with a 1977 D700 Cab and Chassis and then extended the frame to a 240" wheelbase and installed a 1980 Club Cab section using the front clip of the D700. Cotton used the 413 engine and the 5-Speed transmission from his D800 Race Car Hauler to put in this truck and it has a 2-Speed Rear end. He also designed and built the 23' X 8' Hauler Bed and installed the twin 100 Gallon Aluminum gas tanks and the newer style 10-Lug 22.5" Polished Aluminum Budd wheels.
Cotton used this truck often over many years before selling it to his buddy and fellow Winston Cup driver Neil Castles in 1996 who used the truck in his business transporting cars for the motion picture industry until selling it in 2010.
The Max GVW rating for the truck is 25,500lbs and so a CDL license is not required. The truck is in very good running condition and got 8mpg on my last trip although I know it will do better with a new carb kit, plugs and plug wires. My plans for what I wanted to use the truck for have changed since buying it and now is a great opportunity for someone to own this very special truck that has a lot of very interesting history behind it.
The Challenger on the truck is a real deal #'s matching 6-Pack 4-Speed car that's totally loaded with options and has its original buildsheet to prove it.
If you have any questions about the truck please give me a call at 405-203-4441 or email me at pentastarcars@cox.net

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier
Wed, Jun 3 2015Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers.

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
