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!

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
2016 Dodge Viper ACR First Drive [w/video]
Fri, Jul 17 2015The Dodge Viper is not a comfortable car. Livable, yes. The interior is covered in fine materials. But you still climb over a hot door sill to enter the tiny cabin. And the frequency range of the engine's noises seem specifically designed to cause headaches. What happens, then, if you remove all pretense of civility from a Viper and add equipment solely aimed at improving lap times? You would have the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR. In terms of achieving its purpose, this car is a absolute success. In many ways it's also the most honest Viper of the current generation. Prices start at $121,990 (including $2,100 gas-guzzler tax and $1,995 destination), or $32,900 more than the least expensive Viper. In ACR trim, the Viper loses the under-carpet padding, 9 of 12 speakers plus amplifier, carpet and trim from the cargo area, and sound deadening in front of the rear wheel wells. The parts of the interior still covered add healthy amounts of Alcantara or optional carbon fiber. That weight loss is compensated by the addition of go-fast bits like the giant rear wing (or the larger "x-wing" on the Extreme Aero Package), 10-way adjustable Bilstein Motorsports shocks, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a rear diffuser, and a front splitter. Total claimed curb weight is 3,392 pounds in Aero trim (standard ACR trim is 18 pounds lighter), which is within a few stone of the rest of the Viper lineup. The diffuser strakes and leading edge of the splitter are removable, made to be replaced after rubbing on track tarmac and make street driving slightly more practical. Not that you'd want to drive the ACR on the street, with the lack of noise insulation and spring rates twice as stiff as the Viper TA, but it is street-legal. Dodge claims the DOT-approved Kumho Ecsta V720 tires on the ACR allow faster lap times than some race compound tires. Our test was limited to on-track shenanigans at Virginia International Raceway. Which is fitting because we wouldn't have anything good to say about driving the car on the street. The ACR is, essentially, a race car sold in the showroom, although with the Viper's 1 of 1 customization program, your custom build can include as many creature comforts as you like. Lined up in pit lane at VIR, the Viper ACRs for our evaluation blur the air with heat shimmer. All of the test cars have air conditioning, but that shuts off at full throttle with a six-second reset.
2016 Dodge Charger and Challenger SRTs look juicy in Go Mango
Tue, Mar 15 2016The 2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT models are ready to go with newly available Go Mango orange paint. The carrot-like shade is the latest in the brand's long line of vibrant, throwback colors like Plum Crazy purple and Sublime green. Dealers can start order the bright hue right now. Dodge originally introduced Go Mango on the 1970 Challenger and also offered the color on the 2006 Charger R/T Daytona and 2016 Dart. Now, it's available on the SRT 392 and Hellcat models. The orange shade highlights the vehicles' lines well and looks especially good with black stripes running from the front splitter to the rear bumper like in these photos. There's no way to blend into traffic in such a vibrant muscle car, so this hue is for extroverts only. Last year at the Woodward Dream Cruise, Dodge brought back Plum Crazy on most Challenger and Charger models. The deep purple is a nice enough color, but Go Mango seems like a better fit for the SRT's performance-oriented demeanor.

Now, new for spring 2016 and shown for the first time this past weekend at the 11th annual Spring Festival in Irvine, Calif., Dodge is expanding its color palette with a new, modernized version of Go Mango exterior paint on 2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT models. Dealers can begin ordering Go Mango immediately. Go Mango was first introduced by Dodge on the iconic 1970 Challenger. Following a limited production run in 2006 on specific Charger R/T Daytona models, and more recently featured on the 2016 Dodge Dart, the next generation of the legendary and limited-edition exterior hue combines orange and red tones into a high-impact color that showcases the legendary Dodge performance attitude.
