Extremely Rare - 1980 DODGE ! TON {b300} wide body van conversion ordinal owner. Meets all U.S. government regulations.

Ups: rebuilt 360 cubic inch engine with Edelbrock carburetor approx. 33,000 miles; rebuilt transmission, approx. 53,000 miles; brakes and Michelin load rating E light truck tires in very good shape; recently replaced mufflers and tailpipes [dual exhaust]; Generac 3.75 variable speed generator [approx. 780 hrs.]; 2 six gallon propane tanks; Coleman Mach 3 roof air conditioner; heater; hot water heater; bath and shower stall with ElectraMagic toilet [door to bath needs new latch] sink; microwave oven [getting weak and will probably have to be replaced in the not to distant future]; 3 12 volt 8” fans; variety of lights, closet and cabinet space; areas of carpet in good shape but linoleum in kitchen is peeling; coded ignition to guard against theft.

Downs: assorted panels and door panels need to be recovered ; bad spot in rear paneling; no working dash A.C. ; at some point some repair and restoration work needed on back door; due to water leaks after market windows sealed with silicone and do not open. They need to be removed and new putty tape applied; 15 x 15 sun window in upper bunk needs new gasket; original horn foam worn out [ I still have original pad] horn has been replaced with a big button on the steering wheel; right turn blinker does not return to the neutral position automatically; in Cold weather ignition key does not spring back from starting position so you have to rotate it back manually.

Conclusion: Body paint in good shape but is starting to peel some on the hood; fiberglass roof is peeling; piece missing from lower front grill, I still have the section [see photo] I hate to part with the old truck but the time has come. A great van for someone to nurture and give the “Green Apple “ a little TLC.

P.S. Very recent front end inspection. Checked out O.K. for an extra $300 you can have the 10 x 18 carport. I’ll throw in a 100 ft. 10 gauge land line extension cord. For a little more research into these rare vans google The Wide One Corporation.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
