1977 Dodge Power Wagon Sno Commander on 2040-cars
Jefferson, Ohio, United States
Up for auction is a 1977 Dodge Power Wagon Sno Commander with 360 automatic transmission, and Western plow. Has 70,511 original miles. Truck was a community plow truck in a development in Illinois. Bought it on Ebay April 2013 for the purpose of restoring it. Death in family forces sale of several items, including this truck. Never plated it, just plowed my own driveway last winter. It started right up when we had -14 degrees for a high in Northeast Ohio. Truck is really in incredible shape for it's age. It's going to need floor pans, has tin riveted down as temporary fix. Back bedrail rotted, tailgate hold bed together. Rear DMI bumper shot, seat needs reupholstered. All gauges work except fuel. Amp meter broke but aftermarket one installed. All lights on truck work. Heater fan only runs on high. Wipers work, as does window wash. Truck running on '99 Dodge Ram wheels, as the original split rims got accidentally scrapped. Power steering is amazing. Was having trouble with plow, however, it goes up, left, right without a problem, but going down was a problem frequently, slight exhaust leak around bottom of "Y" pipe. Haven't really looked into the issues with the plow after the winter was over. Sure I am missing something, but any questions at all please ask. Have a clean Illinois title, everything on the truck, is the way I bought it. I did nothing to it. For sale locally also. Good luck bidding

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
