Truck was a gas pump service truck for a Standard Oil company here local from 1958-1985. Truck was parked in 1985 and has not been driven since. Truck was stored indoors until approximately 2 years ago. Has not been driven in salt. Has a lot of history servicing gas stations in and around Rapid City as well as Keystone, SD where MT Rushmore is located. I am getting ready to move across country and I'm selling off a few of my project vehicles that I have stashed away. I do not like getting rid of these old rare vehicles but it is not logical to ship all of them 1000 miles away. This is truly a rare example of an old work truck. I would guess this truck would be worth a pretty penny restored and a one-of-a-kind too. The truck IS NOT for sale locally so it will sell to highest bidder. To be honest, I don't want to sell it locally due to the fact that if it is restored around here and I have to see it running around town, I will regret selling it because I will come back often to visit. I have had several local offers and have turned them down. There is no reserve. I start my auctions at the price I have to get out of my vehicles. Truck is in a secure location and can sit here for 60 days as I will be leaving. If you need more time, we can make arrangements. There are several storage units around here and if you set up everything in your name, I will take truck to storage unit at no charge to you. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction end. Remainder of balance is due within 7 days of auction end. I REQUIRE you call me BEFORE making final payment!!! 605-858-3400 is my number! I will do everything I can to assist with loading/moving/tying down for transport. Feel free to call number above or email through ebay for any additional pictures, questions, or videos you need to see or ask. I will be happy to take pictures or videos of anything you ask for. You can also feel free to come and inspect the truck at any time you wish. I NOTICED THAT EBAY AUTOMATICALLY PUT 6 CYLINDERS IN THE AD. IT IS AN 8 CYLINDER. THERE IS NO OPTION TO CHANGE THIS!!! |

Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
