The last Dodge trucks ever made that were bigger than a 1-Ton were in 1977 and here is a Very Rare and Special Opportunity for you to own what maybe the Coolest and most Unique Dodge Truck you're ever going to see!

This Awesome 1977 Dodge D-700 Custom Race Car Hauler was built and owned by the Legendary Stock Car Driver and Race Team Owner Cotton Owens!

Cotton built this truck for his own personal use in 1987 starting with a 1977 D700 Cab and Chassis then extending the frame to a 240" wheelbase then installing a 1980 Club Cab section using the original D700 front clip.

Cotton used the 413 engine and the 5-Speed transmission from his D800 Race Car Hauler to put in this truck and used a 2-Speed Hi-Lo Rearend.  He also designed and built the 23'X8' 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.  Two of the pictures I've included are one with Cotton Owens posing with his truck just after the cab and frame had been converted and one of the whole truck by itself before the bed and aluminum gas tanks were installed.

The Max GVW Rating for the truck is 25,500lbs and so a CDL liscense is not required.  The truck is in very good running and driving condition although it could use a set of new tires in the near future.  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 Convertible on the truck is so you can have an idea on the size of the bed.  There is more than enough room to haul a car as long as a Superbird and still have plenty of room left on the bed for hauling a golf cart / ATV. 

The Challenger in not included with the truck in this auction but is available for sale.  It is a Real Deal #'s Matching 6-Pack 4-Speed car that's loaded with all the options one could order and has its original Broadcast Sheet 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

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
