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.

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.

Dodge Viper might not live past 2017
Wed, Oct 14 2015The Dodge Viper might be running out of venom because the muscle-bound sports car could be on the road to being cancelled in just a few years. According to Allpar, the proposed deal between the United Auto Workers and FCA US would close the Connor Avenue Assembly plant, which produces the Viper, in 2017. The proposed union contract doesn't give a reason for closing the factory, but the decision is understandable if frustrating. The plant was idled twice last year to reduce production of the Viper to match flagging demand. A $15,000 price cut for the coupe eventually allowed for a sales surge, but that appetite hasn't continued in 2015. From January through September of this year, the company has only moved 503 of the sports cars, down eight percent. To further spur demand, Dodge has employed a few other tactics like the 1 of 1 program for buyers to personalize their Vipers, and the introduction of the brutally track-focused ACR. In a world where high-end sports cars are continuing to get friendlier for both their drivers and the environment, the Viper remains a holdout with a big, naturally aspirated V10. Even with the addition of some electronic aids on the latest Vipers, the snake still demands respect from those behind the wheel. Respect is fine, but sales are what matter to FCA – and the harsh reality is that a lack thereof might force the Viper into retirement, whether we like it or not.
