Available for sale is my 1936 Dodge Brothers Pickup. I bought this truck back in 2007 from a friend in Kentucky. My friend drove the truck down to Florida to visit his Cousin, where I first saw it. I expressed an interest in it, so when he decided to sell it, he called me and I took a trailer up to Kentucky and purchased it. I had the intention of turning it into a nostalgia old style hotrod truck. I drove it a few times after I bought it and the engine ran really nice, but the brakes were marginal at best, and the front suspension needed some work, so I stored it away in my Daughters garage. While it was hibernating, I purchased a '56 Dodge 241 hemi motor and had it professionally rebuilt for the truck. Understand though, the hemi motor is not included in this sale, only the truck as it sits. The hemi motor is available, but at a considerable additional cost. I may be willing to negotiate a price on the whole package if interested. The truck is basically as I bought it, with the exception that I removed the door windows because they had cracks in the glass. My two Grandsons like to sit in the truck and pretend driving, and I didn't want them getting cut. I did purchase new window glass, and also a new power window setup for it, and will include that in the sale, but they have not been installed. There is a dent in the right of the cab top. It occurred before I bought the truck. My friend said he accidentally dropped his cordless drill from his house roof, and it hit the truck. The dent has good exposure from the inside, so it shouldn't be too hard to persuade it out with the right body tools. I really wanted to build this truck, but I got involved in another car I purchased, and have been concentrating on it since. The car is close to completion, but I don't think I have the energy anymore to take on this truck. The pictures I have included tell the story, but I will answer any questions you may have. I am confident with a little work the engine will fire up. It ran well the last time I drove it, so with a little cleaning up, an oil change and some fresh gas it should be good to go. This would be a real nice project for someone with a little skill and patience. This truck has a clear fresh Florida Title.

It appears some questions by interested parties, and the associated answers haven't shown up at the bottom of the listing, so I will include additional information on the truck. The straight axle front end was replaced by a '79 Ford Ranchero front frame clip forward of the firewall. The rest of the frame is original. The front frame clip uses the Ranchero drum brakes as well. I'm not 100% sure, but it may very well be that the motor and transmission, and even the rear end all came from the same chopped up Ranchero. That being the case, apparently the last year of the 289 was 1968, and so the engine may be a 302. The transmission is a 3 spd auto, whatever was a common match for the engine. Drum brakes again on the rear. I believe 14" Crager Mags on the front, and 15's on the rear. My build was going to toss the frame and marry up with an S10 long bed frame which is within 2" of the original 114" wheel base. I have the frame. if the buyer wants it, he can take it when he comes for the truck. Understand, the truck is as I bought it. I didn't morph the frame or do the engine swap. If I think of anything else, I'll add the information. Any questions, just ask.

Chrysler Recalling 870,000 SUVs For Brake Defect

Wed, Apr 2 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 870,000 SUVs because corrosion may make the vehicles' brakes harder to use. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2011 through 2014 model years are involved. Chrysler says crimp joints in the brake boosters can corrode if they're exposed to water. If the water freezes, the boosters won't aid braking as they usually do. Chrysler began investigating after some customers said their brakes felt too firm when pressed down. The company knows of one accident, but no injuries, due to the defect. Dealers will install a shield to protect the boosters for free and replace boosters that aren't working properly. Chrysler has since changed the design to make the boosters more corrosion resistant. Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which involves 867,795 vehicles.

Dodge to reveal Hellcat-powered Challenger in Detroit?

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

On top of all the other performance car debuts slated for next week's Detroit Auto Show, we might be able to add one more to the list - the new, supercharged Hellcat V8 from Chrysler. According to new reports, the rumored 640-horsepower mill is likely to cross the Motor City stage in the engine bay of a Dodge Challenger.
As AllPar points out, though, there may be more news than just the fire-breathing engine. While we've seen spy photos of the Hellcat testing under the hood of the current Challenger, there's a very fair chance that it won't arrive until the muscle car is refreshed later this year. The question now is whether that refresh will be shown off alongside the new engine in Detroit, or if it'll be saved, perhaps for the New York Auto Show.
Other details dug up by AllPar include potential transmissions for the supercharged engine - the Mopar-minded site is expecting an eight-speed automatic or a Tremec six-speed manual. Prices, meanwhile, could be in the same elevated range as the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, at $70,000 to $80,000.

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models

Thu, 16 May 2013

After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.
