1982 Dodge Custom Airbrushed Van Re-built 360 4 Barrel Nice Driver Fast!! on 2040-cars
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. |

Dodge, Jeep and Ram could soon be owned by Chinese automakers
Mon, Aug 14 2017For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM
Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts
Tue, 08 Jul 2014When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
