This 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 has been driven with care since I bought the vehicle in 2010 with ~108,300 miles. It has been well taken care of ever since. I have a complete list of maintenance records available since I purchased the vehicle. The truck comes with the title and it passed its last inspection (in January). It has a 5.2L V-8, automatic transmission, extended cab, working 4x4, bed liner, sliding rear window, manual windows/locks, as well as an aftermarket stereo system which I added after I bought the truck (brand new radio and four speakers). Radio has iPod connector in glove box, but it is for older iPods. The front tires are pretty much new, and the rear tires were replaced at ~151,000 miles. The truck has hardly any rust (except for one spot of rust on the rear bumper and a very small amount of rust on the bottom of the doors). The frame is rock solid (hard to come by in New England). The truck has some scratches and dents (the only notable scratch/dent is above the driver's side wheel well, which can be seen in the pictures). The engine is also in great shape, and the transmission is the original and does shift (it is showing its age but still shifts well while driving). The interior is in great shape, except for a couple tears in the cloth, and a crack on the center of the dashboard. There is a small star in the windshield. All gauges work. A/C compressor works but it needs to be charged. The check engine light is not on constantly like it is on many trucks of this age. This truck would make a great first car or work truck! I am selling it because I plan on buying a diesel, so I would love it sold as soon as possible. Mechanical work done to the truck includes:

-New stainless steel brake lines (Very valuable in areas with heavy usage of road salt)

-New rocker panels (replaced due to rust). Rockers were painted to match original paint. No rust present.

-New thermostat and gasket

-New serpentine belt

-New water pump and gasket

-Two new O2 sensors

-New fuel pump

At ~151,000 miles:

-New steering gear box

-New tail pipe/muffler/mid pipe/exhaust clamp

-New front brake pads/rotor

-New right front wheel bearing

-New lower transmission line

There are other things, mainly fuel lines and other maintenance things listed in the vehicle's service records. CASH ONLY PLEASE. NO MONEY TRANSFERS.

Thank you.

Dodge Challenger Shakedown: '71 body, new guts

Tue, Nov 1 2016

While Jeep has created a number of vintage-bodied custom vehicles with modern components, this year's SEMA show plays host to Dodge's take on the idea. The Shakedown concept began life as a 1971 Challenger and ditched almost everything in it, including the engine and chassis. What's left is a modern car with a retro look. The chassis was a particularly complicated part of the job, since the Challenger was originally a unibody car. However, Dodge chose to separate the Challenger's iconic body from its structural parts, and moved it onto a custom, one-off chassis from which the body can be removed as needed. The chassis also carries lowered suspension, Challenger Hellcat brakes, and a 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8 connected to a six-speed manual transmission from the Viper. Dodge also installed the engine using the new Hemi engine swap kit from Mopar. With the shaker cold-air intake and custom exhaust, the Shakedown's powerplant makes 485 horsepower. View 13 Photos The body itself received plenty of tweaking as well. Dodge shaved off the drip rails, door handles, and turn signals for a cleaner look, and also fitted the grille, headlights, and taillights from a 2017 Challenger. The whole thing is finished in matte black paint with a "vibrating" stripe offset on the left side. The Shakedown also gets 20-inch Slingshot rear wheels and a pair of custom 19-inch versions for the front. On each fender is a bright red "392" decal that uses the same font as the labels on classic Mopars 360 cubic-inch V8s. Inside, the Shakedown gets the same radical upgrade as the chassis. Two Viper seats accompany a Viper steering wheel, and the rear seats are gone altogether. The Viper gearbox is shifted with a Challenger Hellcat gear knob, and carbon-fiber accents and leather adorn the wheel, door panels, instrument panel and center console.

Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.

Bull leads Texas police on four hour chase

Thu, May 12 2016

A bull leading police on a chase through a Texas town may sound like something out of a country music song, but police in Arlington, Texas recently had just such a situation on their hands. According to WFAA, on the afternoon of May 9, a young bull got loose from his pen and decided to take a stroll through the streets of Arlington. "There was a cow walking down the neighborhood," said Arlington resident Jillyan Nance. "It trotted down my home and cut across our yard into the neighbor's yard." Arlington police were alerted to the escaped bull and, in a scene more Texas than Steve Earle drinking a Shiner at the Alamo, they attempted to chase it down with police cruisers. For the next four hours, police engaged the creature in a sedate, low-speed chase through Arlington, Dalworthington Gardens, and other neighboring towns. The bull, for his part, largely ignored his pursuers and the throngs of people coming out of their houses to watch the strange scene and post pictures to Facebook and Instagram. With numerous police cruisers in not-quite-hot pursuit, the bull ambled along the shady streets, stopping here and there to munch on some grass and take in the views. Eventually, a friendly local rancher showed up and lassoed the bull in Dalworthington Gardens just before 9:00 p.m. Police have not released the name of the bull's owner or any motive for its escape. Perhaps, like the unicorn that escaped into a California orchard back in February, it decided that it had had enough of working for a living and was looking for something else.
