I lost 5000 square feet of storage this fall so am thinning the herd. I bought this truck as a runner/shop truck about a year ago. It has a 1973 455 Olds, a Turbo 400 AT, a 9" GM rear end, and a Pontiac Ventura sub-frame. It runs great, drives and stops straight and is a nice driving old truck. I've always liked this series of Dodge pickup, it is the first year after the weird flying saucer headlights and it has the faux hood scoops. The descriptive term "ratrod" is way over used today but if you were to look up the word, you would see a picture of this truck. The floors are rusty with the holes patched with license plates, the attachment of the steering column to the dash is crude, there is a Hurst Slap Stick shifter on the roof and of course you gotta love the gas tank in the pickup bed that is made from and old beer keg and attached with old chain. This truck has personality with a great look in hotrod flat black and hand pin-stripping, smoothies, moon caps & whitewalls. The exhaust system's new, brakes work great, tires are at 50% +/- tread, and has had recent tune-up with hoses, belts, wires, plugs, oil change/filter, and fresh fluids. A word about the motor: The guy I bought if from indicated the engine had been gone thru. I do not have any supporting evidence but can say that it has great oil pressure, it doesn't smoke, and that it runs great. The only knock on runability is that it is cold blooded. I had my mechanic go thru the carb but it might needs some further tweaking. After it is warmed up a bit, it runs strong. There are a few smallish dings/dents, please note in particular the dish shaped dent at the rear of the drivers side pickup box. The pickup bed is solid, the windshield is cracked, the horn needs to be connected, there is a new horn under the hood mounted on the driver side fender, and at this moment, the fan motor isn't working. The lights work and it has a decent stereo. The drag plate is not included. My truck is far from perfect but you could drive it anywhere reliably. Please ask questions if you are uncertain about anything. Please ck my other auctions, I will be listing a really nice, solid, 1968 Dodge pickup for parts or restoration. |

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats
Thu, 02 Jan 2014It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.
