1953 Dodge Coe Factory 265 Flathead 5speed Power Brakes Hot Rat Rod Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Stevensville, Montana, United States
1953 Dodge B-4JMA-161. RARE!! The creme-de-la-creme of 1953 Dodge Trucks with every factory option and massive style! The Dodge COE is the undisputed king of the road with many cool factory mods such as a 12" body lift and one-piece hood that is over 20" shorter than a standard hood. This long-wheelbase model is PERFECT for a factory-original roll-back car hauler. For those who don't speak Dodge, the B-4 is the last year of the B series (1953). "J" is the heaviest-duty COE rated at 2-1/2 tons. With the optional heavy springs and frame plates, this truck is the strongest available. "M" means COE cab with commanding view. "A" means optional 2-Speed rear axle. "161" is the wheelbase. This truck has a 17,250 lb GVWR and can be driven with a regular drivers license. - Original 265 Industrial Chrysler Flathead starts and runs. I put in a modern remote oil filter (factory remote filter housing comes with truck). - Deluxe 5-Window COE Cab - 5-Speed Synchromesh Transmission - 2-Speed Vacuum-Shift Rear Axle - Huge Factory Power Bakes - Heavy Duty Optional Front Axle (5000 lbs) - Heavy-Duty Optional Springs (fronts are 2200 lbs each, rears are a conservative 7500 lbs each) - Heavy-Duty Factory Frame Reinforcement Plates - Fulton Aluminum Sun Shield Visor - Current Montana Title in my name! This amazingly rare truck is a piece of metal art. Ready for finish body work and paint or clear-coat and keep the bare metal hot-rod look. Truck runs and drives but needs rear brake line. Driveshaft hand-brake works excellent. PLEASE SEE PICTURES for condition. This truck is 61 years old and has the scars to prove it. There are dents and dings and even a few rust spots. Overall the metal is very rust free with the exception of a few isolated areas (rear cab line, spot on hood, and curved lower sill). The fenders, floors, doors, and door jambs, cab mounts, etc. everything else is very solid. Wiring needs some updating. Seat is not original. Rear tires are 9.00x20 military tires with good tread. The fronts are 9.00x20 with some age checking, but hold air fine. It comes with some spare parts not shown like the front "DODGE" chrome, and the front marker lights (one lens missing). Also included are the factory "Mopar" big-daddy truck mirrors. The lower skirting is missing. I have another truck with the skirting. It is mostly flat metal and would be easy to fabricate. I can provide detailed pics if you want to re-create the factory skirts. I broke my back and can no longer get up into this truck (it is REALLY tall!), so I must pass it along to a good home. The original 1953 brochure with all the detailed specs can be seen at: http://dodge-semis.com/Brochures/1950s/1953FGHJK/ For those interested in such things, there is some speculation that the KMA model listed in the brochure (19,000 GVWR) did not actually exist except as a fully-optioned JMA. This is that model. If you look at the conventional cabs, the "K" had the dual carbs and dual exhaust for an extra 15 hp. However, the COE's use an updraft carburetor. It is highly unlikely they produced a dual updraft COE due to space constraints. Thus the speculation that the KMA lives only in the brochure. If you have or know of a KMA truck in existence, please correct me. Truck is sold as-is with no warranty. This is a real auction and the winning bidder owns the truck. Purchaser is responsible for shipping. Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due within 7 days. No payment plans. Truck ships from Stevensville, MT, 59870. Please let me know if you have any questions. Marcus at 406-360-8628 Thanks for checking out this neat old truck!

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711
Fri, Jan 7 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.
Nine cars we wish were convertibles
Thu, Apr 16 2015The snow has melted, the sun is shining, and the days are getting longer. At the Autoblog Detroit office we feel like our winter hibernation is finally over. And with warmer temperatures come visions of opening up a convertible roof and cruising. You know, just turn up the bass and let the Alpine blast. There are plenty of droptops on sale in the US, and more on the way (like the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata). That said, we always want more. More! More! More! In that spirit, we cooked up a list of nine cars aren't currently sold as convertible, but ought to be. Check out our picks, below. Summer's just around the corner. Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S In some parallel universe, this car actually happened. Toyota showed us a FT 86 Convertible concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013, and we immediately started licking our chops over the thought of a rear-wheel-drive convertible based on the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S twins. These days, the MX-5 Miata is our only option for affordable roadster fun. A competitor to the Mazda seems like a no-brainer to us, especially since we have naught but good to say about the BRZ/FR-S as-is. Unfortunately in our present timeline, this car is as likely for production as a BRZ STI. Which is to say, not very. Dang. Lexus RC F Unlike the FR-S, a convertible from Toyota's luxury division might actually see the light of day. The current IS convertible is about to be phased out, and the Lexus LF-C2 concept from the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is really a thinly veiled look at a possible RC convertible. A droptop RC would be plenty good, but let's reach for the starts. What we really want is to run topless in an RC F, complete with that powerful, loud, 5.0-liter V8 engine. Lexus says the RC F is a true competitor to the BMW M4. If that's true, it only makes sense for Lexus to mimic the Germans and offer its performance coupe in a folding hardtop form. Maybach Landaulet Maybach is bach back, recast as an upper crust trim level for Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-Maybach S600 is seriously awesome, and more luxurious than a trip to the spa. But why not go a step into the truly ridiculous levels of extravagence and bring back that open-top Landaulet? We think your local princess will love this idea, and with better S-Class bones underneath, Jeeves will have a pretty enjoyable ship to steer, too. Besides, with that slick new Mercedes design language, a Landaulet redux wouldn't be nearly as hideous as the old model, pictured here.
