I am out of time, my friends. I am moving and this truck must go soon! I am passionate about this truck, but cannot take it with me, and do not have the time it deserves.

This truck is surprisingly intact with very few areas rusted through. Although I was going to leave it as a rat rod, it is a viable candidate for restoration or custom street rod.

I will tell you everything I know about the truck, but ask questions....

1. This is a 1946 Dodge pickup that rolled off the factory floor in Detroit, Michigan (build number 26756). I bought it in Virginia and have the frame and door tag, but have not titled it. It is sold with a bill of sale and VIN.

2. The frame is from a 1949 Ford 1/2 ton pickup and is in remarkable condition.

3. The engine is a Ford Flathead V8 (8BA) that runs strong. I have not pulled the heads nor compression checked, so cannot provide details on the condition of pistons, rings, etc. All I know is that it has that distinct flathead sound that cannot be replicated. I was planning a complete rebuild, but would not hesitate to drive it in its current condition.

4. All panels, running boards, etc are intact with some rust holes, but nothing major. I've provided pictures and will provide more upon request.

5. The front glass is cracked, but intact. The rear glass is good.

6. It does not have brake lines, so you need to run all new lines. It also needs rear drums.

7. I have the original transmission, but pulled it off in order to marry a T5 transmission from a 1986 S10 pickup. It still needs the conversion kit (approx. $500) in order to complete it. This auction comes with both transmissions, but if you do not need/want it, I will sell it separately. It needs a clutch pedal. I was going to get a universal clutch/brake kit. I do have the original that comes with the auction.

8. The truck bed side gates are in good condition, but the bed does not have a floor. It also does not have a tailgate.

9. There is no fuel cell or gas tank.

10. All four tires are good and hold air, so it can be rolled in and out easily.

11. I have another complete cab + other parts from a 1941 Dodge Truck (separate auction). I was planning to chop this cab and cut/weld in the spacer from the other. The other cab is rusty, but still solid metal.

12. This is auction style, no reserve, low starting bid. In other words, this truck will sell to whoever is the highest bidder. As I stated, I am out of time. Although the panels are off the truck right now, I will put them back on if you need me to for transport -- otherwise, I'd rather not because you'll likely just be pulling them off in the first 30 minutes of ownership yourself. Seems like a waste. I will accommodate all reasonable effort to ship or move this truck. I've owned dozens of old cars, and understand these are exceptional when you go to move them. I'm a flexible, reasonable person.

13. I'm selling this truck with the caveat that if you do complete it or want to sell it again, I get first crack at getting it back! Like I've said, this truck is in great condition for its age, and I'm very sorry to be listing it here.

14. The prior owner started to suicide the driver door. The passenger is intact. There is some pretty crappy welding in the door hinges that needs to be redone.

Please ask questions and if you need more photos then let me know. I will help any way I can.

Obviously, this is sold "as is," and is not a running/operating vehicle. Seems silly, but have to say it.

Good luck, and take care.

Dodge Durango SRT is much cheaper than Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Fri, Jul 7 2017

Dodge has finally announced availability and pricing for the 475-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT. The Detroit-built SUV will start at $64,090 and hit dealer lots toward the end of the year. It's not a cheap SUV by any means, but you get a lot for the money: including 470 pound-feet of torque, and all-wheel-drive. Plus it has three rows of seats and can tow 8,600 pounds. Not only that, but it's basically the best performance SUV deal from the Fiat-Chrysler group. The Grand Cherokee SRT, with the same engine, costs almost $4,000 more at $67,990. The Durango SRT outperforms the Grand Cherokee in several key areas, too. It's 0.4 seconds quicker to 60 mph and manages to break into the 12s in the quarter-mile whereas the Grand Cherokee is stuck in the mid-13-second range. The Durango can also tow an extra 1,400 pounds, has an extra row of seats, and has more maximum cargo space with the seats. So unless you just really love the Jeep look and brand, the Durango SRT seems like the logical choice. And if either still isn't potent enough, just wait for the upcoming Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Regardless of your choice of SRT vehicle, you'll still come away with a really powerful SUV, as well as a day of instruction at the Bob Bondurant driving school in Arizona.

Dodge launches 1 of 1 Viper configurator

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Get comfortable because you might be spending a good chunk of time in front of the computer on this. The configurator for the 2015 Dodge Viper GTC 1 of 1 is now online, and it's a ton of fun to play around with. Mechanically, the GTC is just like every current Viper with a 645-horsepower, 8.4-liter V10. But for the special editions Dodge lets buyers tinker with practically everything aesthetic thing. For the exterior alone, the choices include some 8,000 available body colors, two stripe styles in innumerable shades, two hood designs and various brake caliper hues. Plus, there are 16 upholstery colors inside, and options like red seat belts and carbon fiber trim. Dodge reckons there are over 25 million possible combinations, and the models are available to customers on a first-come-first serve basis for each model year. Although, two people wanting identical cars seems pretty unlikely. The configurator is a beauty too. It makes all of these myriad options extremely easy to pick from, and there are even four resolution settings to see your creation in the best possible way. Prices for the GTC start at $94,995 and deliveries are set to start in the second quarter of the year. Although, even if you have no intention of buying one, specifying these custom coupes is still highly entertaining.
