Islip Terrace, New York, United States
|
Up for auction is this 1982 Dodge Van. Fantastic older restoration and amazing airbrushing all around. Re-built 360 4 barrel with mild cam and dual exhaust. 20,000 miles on engine. 94,000 on van total. Nice blue grant steering wheel and tachometer. Insured as a classic for next to nothing. Was an award winner when completed 25 + years ago. Custom door panels and upper metal door interior is been airbrushed on both sides with scenes. I have access to a parts van if the winner wants to have the original radio or any extra stuff.
The photo with the aluminum rims was taken a few years ago Older restoration and paint, roof is faded but is plain metallic blue and easy to re-paint. Drivers rear lower quarter extension behind rear wheel has had rust repair that should to be re-done or touched up. Hood is starting to fade, small chips etc. Sides and rear are nice but needs scratch touched up on driver's side. Undercarriage and floors are super-clean rust free. Seats are original and in excellent condition, no rips, burns, or damage. Carpet is in good condition and pretty clean. Sunroof front and rear. Dash clean, no cracks. All fluids have been changed including transmission fluid and filter. New front end bushings, universal joints, ball joints, brakes, and calipers, brand new Holley 650 4 barrel carburetor. New alternator. Has a mild cam, new throaty dual exhaust with side outlets, but still idles and sounds nice. Likes premium gas and long highway drives which I don't do enough of. E-brake works and heat. There is a scratch on the driver's side of the van that will need to be repaired. It may be seen in the photo taken with my niece. I was going to touch the van up and carefully blow in the scratch with hobby paints, but I don't have the time to spend on it. I haven't even had time to wax it. I have used it on the highway and in town and it is reliable. I even moved with it. Front tires are new. Rear tires should be replaced. Old Cragar rims are cool and would clean-up with some SOS suds but they have areas of peeling chrome. They are vintage and have all center caps in good condition. This Van with the right person to bring it back is really special. Needs time that I don't have to touch-up and tinker. Roadable decent daily driver as-is. Gas gauge needs to be fixed. Oil pressure is great and runs cool. Has transmission cooler. Van needs to warm up or transmission will act-up or slip after sitting for more than a week. Van is parked in Brooklyn, New York. May put it in my garage on long island this week. Will try and get some better pictures as well. Will try and get more pictures up soon. Looks good in person but defects don't show in the pictures well. Scratch is noticeable and long. Paint is aged but serviceable. Not a show car!!! On Jul-27-14 at 15:42:14 PDT, seller added the following information: Today I took the van for a 60 mile trip and it ran perfectly. I would feel confident to drive it anywhere. I re-checked the transmission fluid and it was low, I guess the transmission cooler adds to the capacity. I added over a quart and it really feels great. May not be new, but should not cause any trouble for many more miles. The van is also very comfortable and rides well with no rattles or squeaks. |

Junkyard 1983 Dodge Rampage has Franco-American roots
Mon, Jun 20 2016Lee Iacocca and the K-Cars get most of the credit for saving Chrysler after the company's 1979 bailout by the US government, but the success of the Simca-derived Omnirizon platform was a large, if overlooked, component of Chrysler's early-1980s resurgence. The Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon were sold in the United States for the 1978 through 1990 model years, and variants included the 1983-1987 Dodge Charger and the Rampage, this well-worn example of which I spotted in a Denver self-service wrecking yard last week. The early Omnirizons came with a Volkswagen-sourced 1.7-liter engine, but all of the Rampage pickups (and their near-identical Plymouth Scamp siblings) came from the factory with a 2.2-liter K-Car engine making 96 horses. This truck has a 4-speed manual transmission, which would have made it reasonably quick by Malaise Era standards. This one had plenty of body filler and rust, even before the crash that sent it on that final tow-truck ride to this place, so it wouldn't have been worth restoring. Still, we can hope that some of its parts will live on in other L-body trucks.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
Will airbags sandbag the 2017 Dodge Viper?
Thu, Jan 14 2016The Dodge Viper is speeding down the road to cancellation for the 2017 model year, and at least part of the reason for the V10 monster's death is a problem fitting it with federally mandated side curtain airbags. An anonymous source close to FCA US told Motor Trend the automaker can't install the parts because they would further limit the coupe's already tight headroom. The government believes the side curtain airbags can reduce occupant ejections during accidents, and all vehicles must have them for the 2017 model year. The Viper's slow sales also don't provide FCA US much motivation to work out a solution to this problem. The automaker moved just 676 of the handmade sports coupes in the US in 2015, which was down 11 percent from 760 deliveries in 2014. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne hinted at the Detroit Auto Show that the Viper could return eventually. He doesn't like that the current model has a dedicated platform but indicated a new one could share the underpinnings with another of the company's products. Marchionne's current business plan for FCA stresses building the automaker's value, so it might be a while before we see the sweater-clad CEO focusing on a niche vehicle like the Viper. Related Video:
