This is a 1978 Dodge Adventurer Club Cab. It has the High Output 440 V8 with 4 barrel carb, P711 automatic transmission and air conditioning. The adventurer was the top of the line from Dodge and had wood grain dash accents, carpeted lower doors, full complement of gauges including a tach (which works intermittently) and a pair of childs jump seats behind the front seat. The speedo shows 63K but I am unsure what the mileage is as it exceeds the speedometer capability. This truck is a beast with tons of low end torque and when purchased 7 years ago was going to be used for hunting etc. but it didn't pass smog and was decided to wait for the 30 year exemption that was nixed by Gov Arnold Schwartzenegger thus becoming a ranch errand runner hauling guys and parts to and from the field on dirt farm roads. If purchased and you are planning on smogging it, it may need a new catalytic as well as a new carb and that should be it all emissions were left in tact. If you live in a state not that doesn't smog or this truck is too old to smog, your good to go. The truck has power steering though there is a small leak on the ps pump. It has a three inch lift done by previous owner and older BFG All Terrain tires, with tread left but may be good to change out. The four wheel drive works great and has a locking pair of front hubs on the front axle. It has dual tanks and a 300 mile range. The body doen't appear to have ever been wrecked but has little bumps and scratches here and there as well as the two stage paint is loosing its clear coat in patches as shown in a couple of pictures.. The rear shell is missing the lift gate as it was when I bought it. There doesn't appear to be any rust in the floors, rockers or lower doors as is prevailant on so many old dodge trucks. It has an extra grille and front bumper as well as a heater box to replace those dinged up parts is so desired. The drivers window regulator needs help up and down and the turn signal switch works but needs help as well. I do not know if the cruise control works. Overall a solid truck and a good runner. Email with any questions prior to bidding. Customer to pay within 7 days of auctions end. Delivery of Pickup is responsibility of buyer and I will store for 30 days after purchase for no additional charge.

MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper
Sat, Jun 6 2015MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.
Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
Dodge Hellcats getting price hike
Fri, Aug 21 2015Dodge plans twice as many Hellcats on the road for the 2016 model year, they are going to be a bit more expensive when buyers sign on the dotted line. According to CarsDirect and confirmed to Autoblog by Dodge, 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat costs $65,190, an increase of $4,200 over 2015. That figure includes $995 for destination and $1,700 for the Gas Guzzler charge. The latest Charger SRT Hellcat retails for $68,640, a $3,650 increase. Other SRT trims of the muscle cars also see a price hike. The 2016 Challenger SRT 392 is $51,190, after destination and a $1,000 guzzler charger – a $3,500 increase. The Charger SRT 392 also jumps $3,000, to $51,990. Even at 2015's prices, Dodge was having problems keeping up with demand for the Hellcat, and the higher price isn't likely to change that. And before you think the company is going plum crazy, the 2016 models of all four muscle cars come standard with Laguna leather seats and navigation. According to company spokesperson Dan Reid to Autoblog, both items had a "very high customer take rate," and the previously optional features are valued at $2,490. Dodge previously announced a discount for those who had a sold 2015 Hellcat order canceled in the switch to 2016. Those amount to $5,000 on the Challenger and $4,000 Charger, which seems like a sweet deal for those customers. Related Video:
