 FOR SALE
One of a Kind Custom
1948 Dodge Rat Rod

You are bidding on a custom built street/strip truck.  The 1948 Dodge Pickup truck body has been chopped and is sitting on a a custom built frame that was designed to also mount a 1932 Ford. The engine was built by a local engine builder who regularly builds strip/street and drag engines and races his own cars weekly.  It has less than 100 miles on it because I only drive it occasionally around town.  This unique truck has the following features:
  • Chevy Small Block Engine - bored .030" over making it 355 cubic inches
  • Chevy 350 Turbo Transmission
  • Camaro Front Snout with Disk Brakes
  • 9" Ford Rear End
  • Wired for AC
  • Coil over Shocks
  • Power Windows
  • Aluminum Fuel Cell with Electric Fuel Pump Switch

I have a lot more invested in this than the starting bid.  I have priced it to sell.  This truck runs great.  It turns heads as it is or you can restore it to its original colors.  Because of the high compression engine and cam, it runs on 110 octane fuel or premium gasoline with octane booster.  In addition to the slicks currently installed on the rear of the car, I am including another pair of rear tires that have the tread pattern pictured mounted on the pictured spare rims. Also included is another pair of front rims.  The oil pressure/temperature/voltage gauge set (with the blue scale and orange arrow) was installed to monitor the engine conditions.  No other gauges are connected.


If you like a classic looking truck, the last picture (the photo of the truck with the green cab and black bed) is a picture  of a restored Dodge.  Obviously, that is NOT what this truck looks like.  As it is now, it is a rat rod.  I have been told by some of my friends that it shouldn't be painted because the current trend and highest value is leaving it as is!  

The truck is available to be viewed, inspected, and driven.  The truck is for sale locally.  Feel free to ask any questions.  I am not a mechanic or pro, but I will do my best.

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.

Dodge Durango gets the Blacktop treatment

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The Dodge Durango is getting a meaner, more aggressive look as it becomes the latest model from the brand to wear the Blacktop Appearance Package. The upgrades are strictly cosmetic, but they lend the SUV a more assertive demeanor that some buyers like.
Available on the SXT, Limited and R/T (shown above) models, all Blacktop Durangos get black 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bod- color fascia and gloss black trim. The grille surround, air dam, mirrors and headlight surrounds all get the inky treatment, as well. The improvements add $1,590 to the cost of the SXT. They come to $1,990 on the Limited but also include HID headlights with LED running lights and a leather interior. Finally, R/T buyers only need to pay $295 for the upgrades. The Blacktop Durango hits showrooms this October.
If you're already in the market for a Durango but want a dash more style with no added performance, the Blacktop might not be a bad way to go. It certainly gives the SUV a bit more edge than it has in stock form. Scroll down to read the full release.

Dodge gives 2015 Viper slight power increase, new GT model

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days.
First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard.
Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.
