1936 Dodge Pickup on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
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.

Tesla Model S P85D shows 707-hp Dodge Challenger Hellcat how to drag race
Thu, Jan 22 2015Street Car Drags hosted a bang-up event at the Palm Beach International Raceway last weekend, with a list of massive horsepower ICE cars going up against one another and a trio of Tesla Model S P85Ds. One of those duels pitted the 691-horsepower Tesla against a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and the result was an old-school beatdown and a world record for electric cars. The Model S P85D ran the quarter in 11.6 seconds at 114.6 miles per hour, the new mark for BEVs at the drag strip. Proving its pace, it ran three more times in 11.69, 11.72 and 11.76 seconds. It got from the start line to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. The Hellcat, well, it wasn't a race, really. It was the Hellcat's driver's first time at a drag strip and his first time trying to launch it, so after an excellent burnout ahead of the lights, he rolled to the line, almost jumped the start, balked at the real start and spun his tires for the first 100 feet down the strip. The theory is that he overheated his street tires during that burnout, and the resulting greasy rubber did what greasy rubber does. By the time he got to the other end 17.46 seconds later the Tesla driver had showered and was enjoying a funnel cake. When things go right, though, Dodge estimates the Hellcat will do 11.2-second runs on street tires and it has been clocked at 10.85 seconds at 126.18 mph on street-legal drag radials. There's video of the not-quite-a-race above, and Drag Times says there'll be a rematch between the two in a couple of weeks.

Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes
Wed, 05 Jun 2013What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.
2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
