This auction is for a CLEAN, 1 owner, 1981 Dodge RAM Prospector pickup truck. The truck has 82,395 ORIGINAL miles on it. It was purchased NEW by my father in 1981 and the color was a Special Order color scheme of Beige over White. The cab was repainted about 10 years ago. The interior is in GREAT condition, NO dash cracks. I have an extra set of redone door panels that I never put in. Also have another hood the same color as a backup in case I needed one as I found a short bed version of the truck in a junkyard several years ago & took some of the parts off before they crushed it. The truck was running until a few years ago when my son quit driving it around out farm. It has the GOOD 318 V8 engine that Dodge was known for for years.  I did pour some gas into the carb & got it started and it was running really rough so it probably needs a carb kit installed. The truck was in perfect running condition before the heater core went out & we just parked it and for a while would start it & drive it about a mile a week, but then just left it parked. It wouldn't take much to restore this truck as it was well taken care of, but it was parked for a few years after my dad passed until my son used it to learn how to drive around our farm, then it was parked under my mom's carport where it's just sitting. She wants to get rid of it now so I'm listing it on eBay for her. As far as what I KNOW that it NEEDS for sure is : Carb Kit, Heater Core, Window Tracks repaired or replaced, possibly brake pads & tires. The truck NEVER used any oil or did it leak any. I have no idea what condition all of the seals are in now. Before the heater core blew, the A/C would FREEZE you out !! I had the windshield replaced in 2006 due to it beginning to "cloud" up in places. I also had replaced the floor carpet with OEM carpet before it wasn't available through Mopar anymore. I have a large parking lot at my old store that will accomodate an 18 wheeler transport for pickup. The high bidder will be responsible for making arrangements for the pickup and shipment arrangements of the truck. I will help anyway I can. This truck is 32 years  old & considered a CLASSIC. It is NOT in MINT condition but wouldn't take as much to get it back 100% as it would most trucks of this age. GREAT PROJECT & INVESTMENT as I'm starting it out at what I feel is a LOW & reasonable starting bid.  I was told that upon complete restoration, this truck could bring between $9000-$14000 if done correctly. This came from a friend that does restorations for a living. I don't have the time or interest in doing it myself & my mom said it was time for it to go, There is NO complete rust-through on this truck but as you can see it is starting to get light areas of paint deterioration & light SURFACE rusty spots are forming especially on the hood vent area but it will sand & repaint with no issues. It needs to go to someone who will put a little TLC into & have themselves a NICE show truck or truck that will turn heads at local car shows. Please e-mail any questions & I'll get with you ASAP.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.

Macron and Le Pen decry 'shocking' Stellantis CEO pay

Mon, Apr 18 2022

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron and his far-right challenger in the French presidential vote, Marine Le Pen, on Friday both decried as “shocking” the multimillion euro payout to the CEO of carmaker Stellantis. Stellantis CEO Carlos TavaresÂ’ remuneration package of 19.15 million euros just a year after the company was formed became an issue as Macron and Le Pen campaigned ahead of the April 24 runoff vote. Polls show purchasing power and inflation are a top voter concern. Stellantis was formed last year through the merger of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Centrist President Emmanuel Macron, perceived by many voters as being too pro-business, called the pay package “astronomical” and pushed for a Europe-wide effort to set ceilings on “abusive” executive pay. “ItÂ’s shocking, itÂ’s excessive,” he said Friday on broadcaster France-Info. “People canÂ’t have problems with purchasing power, difficulties, the anguish theyÂ’re living with, and see these sums. Otherwise, society will explode.” Far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who enjoys support from many working-class voters, called for bringing in more workers as shareholders. “Of course itÂ’s shocking, and itÂ’s even more shocking when it is the CEOs who have pushed their society into difficulty,” she said Friday on BFM television. “One of the ways to diminish this pay, which is often out of proportion with economic life, is perhaps to allow workers in as shareholders.” Stellantis continued to back the package despite a 52.1% to 47.9% vote rejecting it at an annual shareholders' meeting chaired from the Netherlands, where the company is legally based, on Wednesday. The company, citing Dutch civil code, noted that the vote is advisory and not binding. The company later said in a statement that it took note of the vote, and will explain in an upcoming 2022 remuneration report “how this vote has been taken into account.” In the 2021 report, the company identified peer group companies that it used as a salary benchmark, including U.S. companies like Boeing, Exxon Mobile, General Electric as well as carmakers Ford and General Motors. Stellantis, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Jeep, Opel and Maserati, reported net profits last year had tripled to 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion). The French government is the third-largest shareholder in Stellantis, with a 6.15% stake through the Bpifrance Participations S.A. French public investment bank.
