PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER VEHICLE AUCTIONS 1962 Dodge "Power Giant" D100 Town Wagon These trucks are a really Rare Find 52 years after production and an even Rarer Find in the Excellent Condition this truck is in! This truck was purchased new at McKeon Motors, Inc. in El Paso, Tx. (Dry Desert Area) on February 21, 1962 by a company called The Commonwealth Plan, Inc. The truck was in El Paso for most of it's existence but eventually left town for Lone Pine, CA. not very far from the famous Death Valley desert area where it remained until late in 2009 when it was sold to a guy in Northern Ohio. From there it quickly changed hands to another guy in that same area who made his living as a professional Chrysler mechanic, and as soon as he got the truck home he started going through the whole truck mechanically and rebuilding the engine, replacing the clutch & pressure plate, replacing all of the brake system with new parts and going though the front end with any new parts that were needed. All of this work was done less than 1,000 miles ago. This truck can drive safely and dependably anywhere you want to go but maybe not as comfortable as you might be used to traveling! I bought the truck 3 years ago with some really big plans to do the whole Pro Mod thing to it but my enthusiasm has since faded as I just have too many other projects in life. I will reduce the final purchase price of the truck by $800.00 if the buyer would prefer that I keep the new Chrome Magnum 500 wheels and center caps and the Radial T/A's off the truck and sell it with the original wheels and hub caps on it. Otherwise, both sets of wheels will come with the truck for the final bidding price. I have some pictures of it with the original wheels and hub caps on it, so let me know if you would like to see them and I'll get them too you.

FCA's shifter fiasco proves novel gear selectors are a bad idea
Tue, Feb 9 2016What's wrong with PRNDL? Why are automakers trying to overly complicate the simple task of selecting gears? If there's any lesson to learn from the recent news that NHTSA is investigating 853,000 Fiat Chrysler vehicles over its problematic gear selectors, it's that the trend of fancy shifters needs to stop. Now. Last year, NHTSA opened an investigation into Jeep Grand Cherokee models, and has now expanded this probe to include the 2012-14 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. The problem? The shifter – assembled by ZF – is confusing for many drivers. "Testing ... indicates that operation of the (electronic) shifter is not intuitive and provides poor tactile and visual feedback to the driver, increasing the potential for unintended gear selection," a NHTSA document states. More than 100 crashes and over a dozen injuries are linked to this problem, according to The Detroit Free Press. To us, the problem isn't just limited to FCA. These unnecessarily novel gear selectors are spreading like wildfire across the industry. Honda and Acura use a weird pushbutton setup. Lincolns have buttons on the dashboard. Jaguar's shifter electronically raises out of the center console. Mercedes uses a stalk with up-for-Reverse, down-for-Drive, push-for-Neutral arrangement. And what the hell is BMW thinking with its M cars? FCA has since abandoned the confusing shifters in question. The 300, Charger, and Grand Cherokee now use the rotary shift dial that's quickly proliferating across the company's brands. Simplistic gear selectors might not be sexy, but no one ever complained about not being able to find the right gear in a Hyundai Sonata. What's most interesting is that this NHTSA investigation could push FCA – and possibly other automakers – to redesign vehicle functions that otherwise operate as designed. Just because most people will never have a problem putting a Dodge Charger in Reverse doesn't mean there isn't a flaw with the design. But perhaps a more simplistic solution – good ol' PRNDL – would have prevented these issues from the start.

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*
Wed, 14 Aug 2013With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.
Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production
Wed, Dec 10 2014Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.
