Hello to all the seasoned P W collectors out there as well as new comers to our special niche of the collector truck world. Here is a chance to own a rare Dodge One Ton Power Wagon that is virtually new ( NOT RESTORED ! ) Your looking at possibly the only model M601 w/ factory power steering in the U.S. (J.B. at Vintage Power Wagons confirmed this in a recent conversation ). This truck was shipped to the Israeli Military along with a few others to be used in the desert as a wrecker, thus the custom, factory made HD diamond plate 6.5 x 8 ft flat bed with roll bar. This particular truck was never commissioned, no hoist was ever mounted on the flatbed and the truck ended up being "re exported" back to the U.S. in August of 1990 by a major military equipment broker. The importation value at that time was $16,160.00. It was then purchased by a friend to use on his farm for a small fencing project and subsequently purchased by myself nine years ago. It has 397 original, actual miles ( 639 km ). Note the speedo / odometer are calibrated in kilometers. Finally, you will have a PW that will pull 80 on the clock !

As a Power Wagon collector for some 36 years, I was excited to acquire this truck because of the extremely low mileage and specs. My plans were to either utilize the Flatbed as a platform for a kick butt camper / Bugout machine ( especially since it is winch equipped ) OR do a very mild customization on the perfect, rust free body to include a color change to Navy Blue, a custom seating platform built into the stake bed flat bed, finished off with 11 x 20 custom wheels with Michelin Desert tires. To emphasize the condition of this truck, it needs nothing other than new 9:00 x 16 rubber to go down the road . Since this is the standard Power Wagon 126 in wheelbase, a third option would be to replace the factory flatbed and bolt on a Military Civilian express bed. Pretty sure once you see the massiveness of the flatbed / rollbar, you are going to want to include it in your final plan.

With the passage of time and the pressure of other projects and interests, it is time to realize that we probably will not get around to any of the above plans. This dude is way too kool to sit around in a building year after year, only to take an occasional lap around the property and then go under cover again. So I am pleased to pass this along to someone that will put it to active use and build their dream PW machine, be it a Parader, a Bugout, a Camper or something even wilder that we haven`t thought of yet.

Vehicle is ALL original, rust free sheet metal and under carriage. Equipped with 12 volt alternator electrics , drive train is very tight as to be expected,very dry underneath. Power Steering enables one hand turning with ease, working am / fm cassette radio mounted in glove compartment, speakers on the lower kick panels; canvas top and interior in good condition, HD roll bar / HD flat bed , Braden winch never unfurled, HD pintle hook on rear frame member. Factory installed HD rear PTO gear box with actuation lever, no doubt included in the build to accommodate the wrecker hoist that was never mounted on the flatbed. New components include : horn assembly, belts, hoses, water pump, wiper blades . fresh oil / filter and anti freeze . Tires are matching "made for USA vehicles" Alliance non- directionals, good tread, hold air fine but side walls are weak and should be replaced for over the road usage. Matching five gallon Jerry cans are set up with Distilled water on the left side and 12 year old Jack Daniels on the right. Military issue sipping straws available upon request..... This truck has been stored indoors at all times. Complete with original Gov. issued military owners manual and Craig stereo manual.

Also available for seperate purchase are the following Power Wagon accessories that may be of interest in connection with this truck :

1) A set of (4) 11 x 20 custom wheels with old non - directionals ; these 44`s will need a lift kit to fit this chassis. I have previously had these mounted on several of my WM 300`s over the years. The look is stunning, ground clearance is improved as is the effective ratios for going down the road;

and since your vehicle is power steering equipped, increased steering effort is of no concern.

2) A VERY RARE Garwood PTO powered HD 2000 # Capstan winch , would look /work great mounted on the front or rear of the flatbed, powered by the rear PTO gearbox, set up with a shaft / sprocket / chain layout. OR, this can be mounted to the massive rear bumper just like the WDX belt pully assemblies were to the rear frame members from the factory, using a direct drive rear pto shaft .

Please call for quote. Either or both accessories could easily be shipped out on the 601`s flatbed. Photos of these items are included for your review.

Temporary indoor storage is available after purchase at no charge. Also truck is located on a large farm facility which will accommodate any size hauler; we will assist with safe load on your transporter or can arrangre shipping for you at your expense.

Please Note : VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN REGISTERED. It comes with Hapag- Lloyd Bill of lading, Customs Service Entry Docs, State Certificate Of Sale, and Bill of Sale to new owner.

Retaining the right to end this auction up to the point reserve is met. ( Yeah, I`m already thinking letting this one go may be a huge mistake; on the other hand, it would only be the first one I`ve made today, so far.......)

Questions and in person inspections welcomed ! Good luck and Have fun, that`s what it is all about ............... CELL 973 534 2616 EMAIL joepowerwagon@gmail.com

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.
