1963 DODGE POWERWAGON M37 4x4 MILITARY PICK-UP, inline 6-cylinder flat-head engine, 4-speed manual transmission, high/low range, PTO, 24-volt electric system, older 9.00X16" bias-ply rough-tread tires.  This truck runs and drives but the brakes will need bled and perhaps some other issues addressed (they worked enough for me to drive the truck several blocks to the storage unit where these photos were taken.  The engine starts nicely with no smoke, leaks, knocks or other unwanted noises.  The steering seems tight and the truck was a blast to drive.  The truck comes with the original military-issued shop manual and operators guide.  The vehcile appears nearly rust-free other than some minor surface rust and one small 1" diameter spot on the cowl near the driver's door. 

ENGINE:  inline 6-cylinder -- appears to be the original, NO SMOKE, KNOCKS or LEAKS that we can detect. We just rebuild the carburetor for depenbability.

TRANSMISSION:  4-speed manually-shifted -- appears to be the original unit. Also has what appears to be the original 4-wheel drive transfer case & PTO mechanism (the wench has been removed by the previous owner). 

BODY:  2-door conventional cab pick-up with 6.5' "step-side" cargo box, all factory original.

PAINT:  repainted from original military ODG to fire department red with white painted cab top.  Only one small rust spot on cowl near driver's door.  Lot's of patina/character on this one, but a rock-solid truck, needing repaint, complete restoration or enjoy 'as-is'. 

SUMMARY:  This is a nice truck and it's rare to find a retired military Powerwagon that hasn't been completely beat up.  While this one shows wear and tear, there's a lot to like about this truck...it's a restorer's paradise, or it's perfect for the weekend warrior wanting a dependable truck to use on their farm or hunting property. 

DISCLAIMER:  NO WARRANTY IS IMPLIED...TRUCK IS BEING SOLD 'AS-IS'.  I ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES TO CALL AND COME VIEW THIS TRUCK IN PERSON BEFORE BIDDING AS THE SALE IS FINAL.  We can assist a trucking company with loading, but shipping logistics and expenses are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. 

CALL DARRELL AT 816-812-1965 FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO SET AN APPOINTMENT TO VIEW THE TRUCK IN PERSON.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop glosses over performance

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

The Dodge Dart is a decent little car. It's honest, basic transportation, and many of us at Autoblog are genuinely fond of the Alfa Romeo-based compact sedan. For 2014, not a whole lot changes in the Dart world, save the addition of this new Blacktop edition that makes its debut here at the Detroit Auto Show.
It's all very simple, this Blacktop package, and doesn't actually alter performance in any way. Instead, buyers are treated to blacked-out exterior bits like 18-inch wheels, the crosshair grille and headlamp bezels. Inside, black/tungsten or black/red cloth seats are available, with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin.
Adding the Blacktop pack to your Dart SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group will set you back a scant $295, and while it's just an appearance package, it all looks pretty nice to us.

Chrysler Recalling 700k Vehicles For Ignition Switch Woes

Tue, Jul 1 2014

General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags. There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date." To fix the problem, Chrysler will install a new detent ring in the vehicles. It will begin contacting owners soon, and obviously the repair will be free of charge. This isn't the first time this problem has cropped up in these models. Chrysler issued a recall for 248,437 vehicles in 2011 for certain 2010 model year examples. A few weeks ago, NHTSA also began investigating the 2008-2010 model years of the affected models for ignition switch problems. At this time, it's not clear whether that evaluation and this campaign are linked. Chrysler told Autoblog that it has no reports of injuries related to the problem. Scroll down to read the company's statement and the NHTSA recall report. Statement: Expansion of Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) safety recall July 1, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Out of an abundance of caution, Chrysler Group is expanding a previous safety recall to install a more robust WIN module detent ring. A previous recall in 2010 included 196,000 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Dodge Journey vehicles built August 2, 2009 through June 17, 2010. The expansion includes an additional 695,957 vehicles manufactured January 29, 2007 through August 1, 2009.

How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.
