Up for sale is one Very rare Dodge D100 Sweptside pick up truck. I am selling this truck for my friend who I have sold 40 other cars for. She is the Widow of a collector and found herself with a vast array of old cars when her Husband passed. This is the last one and by far one of the rarest. This truck was custom built at the factory by the Dodge Special Equipment group(SEG). These were hand crafted trucks built to compete with the Chevy Cameo. SEG took 1957 Dodge station wagon fenders from the assembly line and custom built the beds, tailgate, bumpers and body trim. Making only 180 of these in 1957, approximately 75 remain in the world. This truck was restored 90% about 7 or 8 years ago. I don't think it has been driven much since the restoration. The gas was going bad in it when i got it. I drained and cleaned the tank, had the carb rebuilt, flushed the lines etc, gave it a tune up and it runs and drives great. I also had the power steering pump rebuilt, it works decent but there might still be some work needed in the system. Classic Pushbutton 3 speed transmission works and shifts very well. I feel like overall the truck needs a once over just to make sure any bolts and such weren't left loose. Things like the horn and radio need to be hooked up, etc. I noticed the rubber bushings on the rear leaf spring shackles need to be replaced. But like i said it drives surprisingly well for a old 50's truck. Visibility is really good with the wrap around windows, you can see everything. Oh and you will be seen too. This truck attracts a lot of attention wherever it goes. I've had housewives yell at me going down the road " Nice truck Mister!". I took it to Bob's Big boy here in California and guys hadn't seen one of these trucks in 30+ years. Did I say Rare?

Anyhow here are the goods the bads and the unknowns:

GOOD:

Have clear california title

Pretty Decent paint job, Looks good from 5'. Is actually pretty good shape. I think it was mostly covered since it was painted, However i did find a few drips in the interior paint and some chips where the hood rubbed on the body.

Chrome and Stainless are in great shape, either they were re-plated or are still in very good original shape.

Drive train:

Engine runs well and strong, I don't know if it was rebuilt, but it doesn't smoke and has new freeze plugs and paint. One might assume that it was rebuilt. I have not done a compression test.

Transmission: Drives and shifts well. E brake on drive shaft works.

Rear end: seems fine

Brakes are good

All glass is good

New interior and upholstery

BAD and UNKNOWN:

Depth of restoration unknown

Found a rust hole in inside rear fender left side and a repair right side, not sure if exterior fender had a repair/hole. Front fenders, floors, and frame look fine.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you are in the area, your are welcome to come take a look at the vehicle. You won't be let down, she's a beauty.

New Barracuda, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk coming soon

Wed, Aug 26 2015

As we write this, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a major dealership event in sunny Las Vegas. New vehicles are being announced, redesigned offerings are being teased, and promises are being made to the sprawling company's dealer body. And, as all these announcements are meant to be tip-top secret, they're leaking out left, right, and center. Naturally. FCA is telling its dealers all of the vehicles shown at the Vegas gala will be in showrooms within 12 to 24 months, and that the product offensive will include at least 30 new or significantly refreshed models. Some of those we've known about since FCA boss Sergio Marchionne unveiled his highly ambitious five-year plan in May 2014, while we're hearing about others for the very first time. We've reached out to our sources within FCA, and will update this post as we learn more. It should be noted that while we've tried to rely on concrete sources or corroborations from multiple sources, some of the news here comes from people claiming to have been in attendance and posting in forums like Allpar and Jalopnik's Opposite Lock. Unless corroborated by a mainstream source or confirmed by our own sources within FCA, we're listing each item that comes from a forum. Have those grains of salt at the ready. Chrysler Dodge Durango-sized SUV with stow-and-go was shown. A poster on Allpar Forums claims it had a Durango's interior. New Aspen? Town and Country PHEV confirmed (again). A plug-in minivan was originally announced as part of five-year plan. No news on 200 or 300. Dodge The redesigned Charger will use the Alfa Romeo Giulia's rear-drive platform and, according Automotive News, draw inspiration from 1999's Charger concept car. We're wagering the 24-month time frame specified to dealers will move the new sedan's arrival up from 2018 to mid-2017. Jalopnik's Opposite Lock claims two new Challenger models are coming. Challenger ADR (American Drag Racer) and T/A. ADR should appeal to bracket racers and is more powerful than the SRT Hellcat, while T/A is for track rats, just like Viper T/A. Automotive News claims the legendary Barracuda nameplate will be revived as a Dodge. The Barracuda will be smaller than Challenger, offered as both a coupe and a convertible. Allpar claims it will feature modern styling. A Dodge Durango SRT was announced with 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and rear-drive. Sources within FCA confirmed its arrival with Autoblog. Apparently, dealers were shown an example in B5 Blue.

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval

Mon, Jun 8 2020

BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.
