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.

Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D in Motor Trend Head 2 Head battle

Thu, Apr 30 2015

One has James Bond Mode, Insane Mode, Creep Mode, and, yes, Insane Creep Mode. The other has 707 horsepower and is a heck of a lot cheaper. But which one is the bigger American badass? We figure most people already have strong opinions on the Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D, and they aren't likely to be swayed too far in the opposite direction by another person's viewpoint. Still, we think you'll enjoy watching the video above. In it, Autoblog friend and Motor Trend "Head 2 Head" host Jonny Lieberman summons smoke, shares smiles, and spouts spiels about both cars, finally finding one just slightly more badass than the other. Which ridiculously ludicrous American sedan takes top honors? Watch above to find out.

2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive

Sun, 17 Mar 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.

Dodge Viper might not live past 2017

Wed, Oct 14 2015

The Dodge Viper might be running out of venom because the muscle-bound sports car could be on the road to being cancelled in just a few years. According to Allpar, the proposed deal between the United Auto Workers and FCA US would close the Connor Avenue Assembly plant, which produces the Viper, in 2017. The proposed union contract doesn't give a reason for closing the factory, but the decision is understandable if frustrating. The plant was idled twice last year to reduce production of the Viper to match flagging demand. A $15,000 price cut for the coupe eventually allowed for a sales surge, but that appetite hasn't continued in 2015. From January through September of this year, the company has only moved 503 of the sports cars, down eight percent. To further spur demand, Dodge has employed a few other tactics like the 1 of 1 program for buyers to personalize their Vipers, and the introduction of the brutally track-focused ACR. In a world where high-end sports cars are continuing to get friendlier for both their drivers and the environment, the Viper remains a holdout with a big, naturally aspirated V10. Even with the addition of some electronic aids on the latest Vipers, the snake still demands respect from those behind the wheel. Respect is fine, but sales are what matter to FCA – and the harsh reality is that a lack thereof might force the Viper into retirement, whether we like it or not.
