Up for auction is a 99 Dodge Ram Van 1500 5.2L V-8. Runs strong and has a rebuilt 4sp automatic transmission that was rebuilt 3 months ago at the local Dodge dealership. The front end suspension and rear brakes were rebuilt by the dealership also within the last year, plus a thorough alignment was done. The brake proportioning valve was also replaced there too. The air conditioning blows cold and has worked well ever since I bought it. Being a black vehicle that is a nice feature to have during our Georgia summers! I switched out the doors with those from a conversion van so that I could have the power windows and power mirrors. I didn't get the power locks installed since it would require the whole keyless entry setup to work, but the power mirrors are great for checking blind spots while being able to adjust them down to avoid headlight glare from behind. I still have the original non-power doors and can include them too if you like.
The cruise control and all accessories work fine, title in hand and it passes local Georgia emissions, plus it has new plugs, wires and battery. The tires are a year and a half old and are at least %75 tread left, plus they've just been rotated. Safety cage installed and the blanket across it cuts down on the road noise, plus helps the AC and heat work better. The body is in good rust free shape, though its seen plenty of dents and scratches. It was originally built with the rear window delete and black paint option, the windowless feature was helpful for me as I used it at my last job as an aircraft mechanic supporting the National Guard. We often had to drive expensive parts and equipment across several states to fix the airplanes and it was helpful not to have any windows to show what we were hauling. Having the air conditioning, the stereo and the cruise control helped a lot on those long road trips.
The issues I didn't get around to fixing are; it still has a small oil leak from under the distributor seal, the windshield is cracked and there is a new sliding door skin where a past owner was hit in the side, and lots of little dents and scratches, and worn seats. Mileage reads about 233343 but was registered as exempt when I bought it so it may be inaccurate. Sometimes in stop and go traffic the brakes shudder a bit. This happened after they were rebuilt and the drums were replaced, but the faulty proportioning valve caused them to overheat and they warped slightly. The valve was replaced and the drums resurfaced but since they are new, I didn't feel the need to replace them.
Now that the program has ended and our site closed, I no longer need a vehicle like this and I bought a pickup truck that can carry my whole family. I spent a lot of money to fix up this van mechanically so there wasn't anything left over to improve its looks. This truck looks beat up and wont win any beauty contests, but it will make a comfortable and reliable workhorse for someone.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery
Fri, 20 Jun 2014The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.
FCA and UAW deal could mean huge production shakeups
Thu, Sep 17 2015The big labor contract between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers is likely to lead to some very serious production shakeups across the company's North American manufacturing operations. That's according to a new report from Automotive News, which details the sweeping changes at no fewer than five production facilities in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Mexico, and Poland. So without further ado, here's what's going where, presented in easy to digest bullet form. Ram 1500 production would move from Warren, MI to Sterling Heights, MI Warren, MI would be retooled for unibody production and would handle the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and could potentially build Grand Cherokees to ease the strain on Detroit's Jefferson North factory Chrysler 200 production would move from Sterling Heights, MI to Toluca, Mexico Dodge Dart production would move from Belvidere, IL to Toluca, Mexic Fiat 500 production, which is currently handled by Toluca, would be concentrated in Poland, where the Euro-spec Cinquecento is built Jeep Cherokee production would move from Toledo, OH to Belvidere, IL to make room for Wrangler and Wrangler Pickup production Like we said, those are some big changes. But, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said in an earlier interview with Automotive News, this kind of shakeup would make a lot of sense. In that August interview the exec said that automakers moved truck production to Mexico because they were "threatened" by the UAW. "The only thing [the UAW] want is to move the truck back. Which is right. If you move the truck back here, which is [the UAW's] domain, [and move] all the cars that we get killed on somewhere else, we could actually make sense of this bloody industry and actually increase the number of people employed in this country and really share wealth because we are making money," Marchionne told AN.
