When's the last time one of these came along? And this one has current registration, and runs and drives! 1949 Dodge 1/2-ton Panel Truck, model B-1-B in Deluxe trim. "Deluxe" because it has the vent windows, and passenger seat and sun visor. Fully optioned out with rear bumper, 2-speed electric wipers, and radio. Has after-market Arvin heater with 2-speed motor. Nothing needed, mechanically. Original 218 cubic inch flathead six runs great with no leaks and uses almost no oil. 3-on-the-floor transmission is quiet, though, not quick through the gears, (but then, they never were). Steering is tight. Brakes give reliable if vintage-style performance. Still has 6-volt, positive-ground electrics, and everything works except the radio and the horn. Someone was in the process of installing after-market turn signals, but from the factory it came only with the single stop/brake/license plate light. Originally it was a dark/navy blue, but was repainted many years ago in metallic brown. The original color can be seen in the dash and interior front doors. Otherwise, mostly in well-worn original condition. Floors are solid, and the only rust on this truck is that which is between the wheel wells and just behind the front doors. Obviously, it's going to need some work on the seats; the door panel trim and armrests are missing. The rubber around all four doors is long gone, so the truck makes a pretty good racket as it's going down the road. The wood bed is still very good, no rotting at all. You can still read the date stenciled in bold, green numbers on the inside (05-24-1949). Side glass in both front doors are well-past the need for replacement. Same goes for the tires.

I've owned this truck for nearly 25-years, and kept up with all maintenance. At times, it's been my daily driver. I've done king-pins and brakes. Generator's about 8-years old. The fuel pump was replaced last summer. I was told the engine had been rebuilt in the early '80s, and included re-bore, turned crankshaft, new camshaft and repainted in MoPar big-block turquoise. (It was originally aluminum-colored.) Odometer's reading just over 26,000 miles, and I suspect it's flipped over once (but probably only once). With new tires, and some patience and moxy, it could be driven anywhere you want to go.

Included with the purchase is the bright piece that goes above the grill, one of the "DODGE" emblems for the hoods/engine covers, and the radio block-off plate. Nearly everything else it needs (emblems, hub caps, glass, interior trim) are available from the after-market, so this could be a relatively easy restoration. Imagine this painted up in your choice of colors with your company logo on the sides!

The truck is located in Denver/Thornton Colorado, 80229. Seller will need to make a deposit of $500 within 48-hours of the auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Buyer assumes responsibility for shipping. Of course, local pick up is no problem.

Thanks for looking, and good luck!

Dodge celebrates big B-day with 100th Anniversary Editions muscle cars

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Being in business for 100 years is a HUGE milestone, so we hope Dodge has more in mind to celebrate its centennial than just a special edition package for the 2014 Charger and Challenger. Called the 100th Anniversary Edition package, this collection of cosmetic enhancements will be available in limited quantities for both cars at a cost of $2,500.
Ordering a Charger or Challenger with the 100th Anniversary Edition package means starting with either a V6-powered SXT Plus or V8-powered R/T Plus model. They can each be ordered in many colors, but only the High-Octane Red Pearl Coat above is an anniversary exclusive. Each car also comes with an anniversary-exclusive set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels with what Dodge calls "Granite Crystal pockets," a texture that's also mirrored on each car's grille.
Of course, there are commemorative badges galore affixed to the exterior of each car, including "Dodge Est. 1914" fender badges and "100" logos on the center caps of each wheel. The styling theme of each car's interior is a bit more interesting, with Dodge designers trying to evoke "the patina and machinist legacy of John and Horace Dodge," the company's founders. To that end, the leather interior can be had in Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa, and each features a custom cloud overprint that makes the hide look like a working man's dirty dungarees. Designers also used brass-colored accent stitching on the interior's leather trim pieces, and affixed more "Dodge Est. 1914" badges to the front seat backs and floor mats. We do like the flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the Challenger 100th Anniversary Edition gets exclusive white gauges faces and the Charger black. The "100" on each car's speedometer is also highlighted in red.

Stellantis launching at least 25 EVs for America by 2030

Tue, Mar 1 2022

Stellantis has announced a wide-ranging plan for the company through 2030 covering everything from product to financials. The product plans are what really caught our attention, particularly for the surprise reveal of the first electric Jeep, as well as new teasers of the electric Ram 1500. But the company also provided more broad details on what we'll be seeing in the future including both electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. All of the plans are in service of the Stellantis goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2038. On that way, it plans for all European vehicle sales and half of all American sales to be electric by 2030. It will launch 75 new electric vehicles by that year, and at least 25 of them will be coming to the U.S. The first of those electric cars will be the aforementioned Jeep in 2023, but many Stellantis models will follow close behind. The electric Ram ProMaster will launch in 2023 as well. In 2024, we'll see the electric Ram (and its plug-in hybrid counterpart), two more Jeeps (an off-road model and a family-oriented model) and the Dodge electric muscle car. We'll get a preview of the Dodge with a concept this year. Then in 2025, Chrysler will launch its electric car, likely based on the Airflow concept. Stellantis has previously announced Chrysler will be fully electric by 2028, and it further announced that Alfa Romeo and Maserati will be fully electric by 2030. Stellantis is also working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, mainly for commercial use. For the U.S., it plans on offering a large, ProMaster-size hydrogen van in 2025. That year or a little later, it also has plans for a hydrogen heavy-duty pickup truck, presumably Ram 2500 and 3500. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares noted that among the benefits of hydrogen for large and commercial vehicles is being able to avoid compromising payload capacity, since hydrogen powertrains are lighter than giant batteries. Hydrogen filling times are quick relative to charging, too. The company will continue working on and offering advanced driver aids. This year it will offer hands-free cruise control like GM's Super Cruise and Ford's BlueCruise. In 2024, the company intends to introduce a system that is hands-free and won't require the driver to be watching it the entire time. The technology is being developed alongside BMW. These are, of course, broad plans, and they could change as time goes on. Expect more details as we get closer to individual product releases.

Bid on the incredible George Barris Supervan in Scottsdale

Fri, Jan 22 2016

Barrett-Jackson's upcoming Scottsdale, AZ, auction features the groovy Barris SuperVan, which came from the mind of car customizing legend George Barris. He even autographed the interior. Passengers enter the SuperVan through the hinged windshield, and once inside they can party in style thanks to the roof-mounted disco ball. However, occupants can't get too wild because the massive side windows don't leave much room for privacy. Barris built the van around a 1966 Dodge Tradesman A-100 with a three-speed manual gearbox and a 318-cubic-inch V8. Barris originally called the van the "The Love Machine," and it later had quite a Hollywood career. Its on-screen appearances included the '70s movie SuperVan, and a repainted version served as a Hill Valley Transit bus in Back to the Future II. After his passing at age 89 last year, Barris' creation might see a further boost in value. Barrett-Jackson doesn't offer a price estimate for the SuperVan, but we can't wait to see what this groovy vehicle sells for with no reserve. Collectors already valued Barris' work before his death. For example, his 1960s Batmobile, which was likely Barris' most famous creation, went for $4.62 million at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2013.

It was used for many movies and TV shows after that, such as the Hill Valley Transit bus in "Back to the Future II," "Sea Quest" and the 1970 movie "Solar Crisis." The van has been completely restored to its "SuperVan" look and has since been signed by George Barris. Manual transmission.
