1978 Dodge D150 Club Cab

Note: This truck is equipped with a 408 Stroker Engine – Not a 440

This Dodge started out life as a Washington State Parks and Recreation truck. A few years later, with a blown 318 engine, it went on the auction block. It was purchased by my Dad and brought back into driving condition with a rebuilt 318 engine and 727 Torqueflite trans. It was the typical Gray, no AC, bare essentials truck. He drove it for several years, changing out the ‘hood ponds’ for an 80 hood. Then noticing the roof rusting, we sanded it down and repainted it with Black rust proof paint. Then, in 1996, he and I swapped some vehicles…I needed a truck and he needed a Sedan. I took the Gray/Black truck with a Brown hood and started to do some changes.

By 2003 I had done the following:

Front floor pans welded in

Radiator Support replaced

Grille reworked/polished

Dakota Digital Dash installed

Automatic antenna installed

Pioneer Stereo installed w/XM unit

Garmin GPS installed in dash

Custom built Center Console with shifter/storage/cup holders/CD pocket/Center Vents

Saab bucket seats/Recline and are equipped with heaters though they are not connected

‘Vintage Air’ AC and heating system with rotating vents as installed on GT40

Gear Vendors Over/Under 6 speed O/D with Manual foot switch or Auto Mode

17 Inch KMC Tank chrome wheels

Goodyear Wrangler 255/75R17 tires with little to no wear

Bed liner

New chrome front and rear bumpers

Headers with custom crossover pipe and custom exhaust tips

360 Engine stroked to 408CI with forged pistons/moly rings/256H Comp Cam/forged H Beam rods/forged Eagle stroker crankshaft/340 J Heads/Dual Plane intake w/Holley 4bbl

Dual 14 inch Thermostatically controlled electric radiator fans

Painted White with a below belt line Patriot Blue – then covered with Blue Frost Pearl clear coat

Cat III hitch with wiring and under dash Brake Controller

There are two spots of rust that will need repair: the driver door and some small bubbling over RR wheel well

I have approximately 25K miles on the drive train since 2003 and have loved driving every inch of the way. I also would have no issue with driving this truck from here in Charlotte to Los Angeles to Seattle and back to Charlotte. The truck does need some TLC and an owner that can give it the attention it deserves. I don’t drive it enough!! If the photos do not answer all questions, please see, and hear, videos at:

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
