1938 Dodge pickup.
The truck is not what is looks like! It looks like an old Junker and that's how I like it, actually it's anything but that. The truck was built on it's original frame with Corvette C-4 suspension front and rear. It was done right it goes down the road strait and true. It has 4 wheel power disc brakes with power rac-n-pinion steering, Vintage AC that blows nice and cold. The motor is a 305 with edelbrock intake and summit 650 duel feed carburetor. The radiator is aluminum with electric fans front and back. The truck runs cool around 170-180 in the Florida heat. The transmission is overdrive 700r that works great. The rear has stock gear so she runs on the interstate at 70MPR @ 2,000 RPM's. The battery is located under the right rear fender it's in a drop down stainless steel box. The wiring is painless system and very wire is tagged with nice new fuse panel. The steering column is GM with tilt and key on the side. The gages are electric Dolphin and are all working as they should it also has working dome lights and under dash lights that come on when the doors are opened. It has an electric wiper motor and there is a wire running to it but I never hooked it up because I don't drive it in the rain. The glove box works fine and I built a steel insert and put a radio inside. I also put insulation under the carpet for sound and heat deading. The doors have bare claw latches and they do have electric solenoids but I never hooked them up I like the door handles. The electric windows work fine but I only have them on the drivers side not the passenger. Both door glass have some cracking I was going to replace them but decided to keep them because they ad to the look of the truck. The body was striped and left outside to rust! yes it needed that rusty patina that it now has. The body is very solid but not rust free you can see where there are some patches here and there. The body is not clear coated yet, that was my next thing to do but I have been driving the truck everywhere and enjoying it and have been working on other projects so I never got around to it. The front end is tilt and you open it by pulling on the grenade on the front of the hood. Don't worry guys it's not live! The body is steel but the fenders and running boards are fiberglass. There are just painted to look like rust. The front end has Zeus fasteners that hold it down. The running boards are reinforced so you can steep on them. It has a custom built tailgate that functions fine and the bed has pressure treated wood. The wheels are from a late model trans-am with nice tires it sits right and they do not scrape. The gas tank has a submersible high pressure fuel pump because the truck had a tune port injection when I got it. It never worked right so I converted it to carburation and I have had no problems with it. The truck is very reliable and drives like a dream you can let go of the wheel and she goes strait down the road, there is no play at all in the steering and it handles like a spots car. I really don't want to sell her but I have to many projects going and I've tried to sell some of my other cars first but there's no money out there so maybe someone will like my truck as much as I do and see the value. You could not build the truck for what I'm asking. I'm open to realistic offers but won't give it away. There is a ton of time and money invested and she still looks like a rusty old truck! I love it!!
The truck is sold AS-IS with No WARRANTY... Buyer pays shipping but I can help arrange on my end. The truck has clear Florida title in my name and is registered and fully insured threw Hagerty collector car insurance for 25K The title reads 1938 Dodge it also has the original VIN tag.

Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg
Thu, 18 Sep 2014With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.
Ram to go on a Rampage with new small pickup?
Wed, 16 Jul 2014When people look back at today's automotive industry, what do you think they'll remember us for? The emergence of hybrids? Ever more expensive and exotic supercars? The dawn of the self-driving car? All likely scenarios, but so is the blurring of lines between one bodystyle and another, giving rise to hardtop convertible coupes and crossovers of every shape and size. But one bodystyle the North American auto industry has stayed largely away from in the past couple of decades is a car nose and chassis with a pickup bed.
It's a bodystyle immortalized by the Chevrolet El Camino, but with few exceptions, we haven't seen too many of these automotive platypuses in recent years on our turf. Subaru tried with the Baja and the low-volume Honda Ridgeline soldiers along largely unchanged, but the genre's biggest adherents are still Down Under, where ute versions of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon live. With a few other examples scattered to the four corners of the earth, that's really about it. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could be working to bring it back.
Spied undergoing testing in Michigan, what we appear to be looking at is a heavily disguised Fiat Strada being prepared - like the Fiat Ducato-based Ram ProMaster and the smaller Doblo-based ProMaster City - for Stateside duty as a Ram product. The Strada, for those unfamiliar, is a product of Fiat Automóveis in Brazil and is based on the Palio economy car. The nameplate has been around South America since 1996 and was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (long before Volkswagen monopolized his talents), and takes a more rugged approach in the form of the Strada Adventure.
