 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.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...

Get a peek at the Dodge Demon in the new Fate of the Furious trailer

Thu, Mar 2 2017

Will all of the news that comes out, Thursdays should now be referred to as Demon Days (no relation to the 2005 album by Gorillaz), at least until April. In addition to this morning's news on the Dodge Demon's Launch Assist and beefed-up components, the automaker released a trailer/commercial for The Fate of the Furious that shows a Dodge barrage and a few quick looks at the new car. The film, which opens days after the Demon's debut at the 2017 New York International Auto Show, is packed full of Dodge, SRT, and FCA products. While the few cars shown in the garage look superficially like Demons, they appear to just be standard Hellcats – the hood is wrong, and they are missing the fender flares. On the other hand, the ones in the trailer's chase scene appear to be the real deal, or at least made to look like it, with the big AirGrabber hood scoop and wide-body fender flares. We've seen a few of these cars already on the film's set, so this is no real surprise. The ad itself is a bit strange. The shots of the woman standing in front of the SRT lineup appear to be cut into footage from the film, so she's not actually talking to the cast in these scenes. That's why a narrow-body car bursts through the wall and becomes a wide-body Demon-like thing. Well, the Fast and Furious franchise was built on bad dialog and over the top car stunts, so par for the course? The film debuts on April 14, and expect the Demon around that time, too.

Junkyard Gem: 2005 Dodge Neon AAR

Sun, Oct 20 2019

Chrysler sold the Neon in North America for the 1995 through 2005 model years, with respectable sales for most of that period. The Neon had decent power for the price, and could be very quick on a road course in the hands of a good driver. With so many made, the Neon came to have a strong aftermarket for performance and customizing components, and many owners opted to spruce up their cars for added coolness. Here's a last-year-of-production Dodge Neon SXT with some SRT-4 body components and aftermarket "AAR" stripes, spotted in a self-service yard in Fargo, N.D. Chrysler sold AAR-badged Plymouth 'Cudas in 1970, inspired by Dan Gurney's All American Racers team in SCCA racing, and the stripes on those cars looked great. However, no factory-made AAR Neons ever came off the assembly line, so the owner of this car applied these aftermarket stripes. The VIN tells me it's an ordinary Neon SXT. The SRT-4 hood looks mean. While this car does have a proper manual transmission, its power came from a distinctly non-SRT naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter 16-valve engine. With 132 horses, this car would have been reasonably quick. Brake calipers look better with the application of a little spray paint. Someone loved this car very much, so it made me sad to see it among all the rust victims of Fargo. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
