Springfield, Illinois, United States
|
1958 Dodge Power Wagon/ Van Pelt Brush Truck. Fire body built and installed by P.E. Van Pelt Fire Engine Co. of Oakdale California in 1958. Believed to have served Walnut Creek, California area. This rig is in EXCELLENT condition. It runs, drives, stops, holds water and pumps as designed. The winch, siren and primer pump are functioning perfectly as well. I have owned and maintained this rig since 2001 and it always has been and is truly a "Turn-Key" vehicle. 17,727 miles showing. Believed accurate-odometer working. High quality paint over EXCELLENT straight and rust free sheet metal. This is not only my opinion, but the opinion of many people that have seen this rig at several shows. Dimensions: 18' 5" long. 83" wide. 6' 10" high. It fits under a standard 7' residential garage door. Federal Sign and Signal model #28 siren. Berkely "High Pressure Fog" pump mounted under rig and is PTO driven. Pumps well and does not leak. Functioning original 12v-120v inverter. A partial list of what I have done for maintenance since 2001: brake linings, hoses, wheel cylinders, rebuilt brake booster, rebuilt carburetor, points, plugs, wires, coil, etc. Fuel tank removed and cleaned. Water tank cleaned and coated. Couple places in water tank repaired with epoxy and whole tank interior sealed with POR15...the tank does not leak. Fluids have all been changed and several seals as well. Engine operates nicely, does not smoke or use oil, and it starts easily. It is not the original engine, but it is a 230 flathead as was original. Original engine serial number ground down and replaced with rebuilders tag. Link to video of rig pumping: search youtube for "van pelt power wagon". Fuel gauge does not work. It did, but I believe the cork float has disintigrated. Currently, there is no suction intake on the rig. The plumbing exists just past the hole shown at left rear, but there is no valve or connection for hard suction. It is capped off. Fill water tank with hose to pump water. The rest of the plumbing and valves all function well. No major oil leaks, but there is seepage from various seals. Vehicle located in Springfield, Illinois 62712. Not interested in shipping. Clear vehicle title in my name. Cash or mutually agreeable terms. Call with Questions. 217-720-3608 |

FCA recalls 1.1 million vehicles worldwide due to confusing shifter
Fri, Apr 22 2016Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.1 million vehicles worldwide to address the problematic shifter used on cars with eight-speed automatic transmissions. The issue is that the console-mounted shifter acts like a rocker switch and always returns to the middle position after moved. This has been deemed confusing to drivers – confusing enough to cause some to exit their vehicles without first selecting Park and leading to the car rolling away. FCA says 41 injuries are related to the shifter problem, and no evidence of equipment failure has been found. The company will enhance warning chimes and alter the shift strategy, meaning alert messages will be displayed in case the driver door is opened while the engine is running. With the door open, the transmission will prevent the car from moving even if Park is not selected. The affected vehicles are certain model-year 2012–2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, as well as model-year 2014–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, an estimated 811,586 US vehicles in total. The recall also affects 52,144 vehicles in Canada, 16,805 in Mexico, and 248,667 vehicles elsewhere. The shifter is used with ZF-designed and ZF-built eight-speed automatic; Audi uses a similar shifter setup in some of its vehicles, including the current-generation, which predated Chrysler's use of it. Chrysler uses a different, a rotating-dial-type shifter on eight-speed-equipped Rams. The company moved away from the problem shifter design in 2015 for the Charger and 300, and the Grand Cherokee's shift lever was modified for 2016. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall when service is available. Fiat Chrysler urges customers to follow the instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual in the meantime.

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models
Thu, 16 May 2013After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.
Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars
Thu, Jan 29 2015Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger. Take a look. News Source: howtoPRANKitup via YouTube, The Detroit News Humor Detroit Auto Show Audi Dodge Mercedes-Benz Coupe Luxury Performance Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show prank
