1973 Dodge D100, long box stepside.  Very original, 77,763 miles.  I have owned this pickup since 2004, and have put about 8 or 9 thousand miles on it, I believe the mileage to be

original, based on the oil change sticker in the door from 1983.  I bought it locally in Montana, and would guess it could have been here for 40 years, but cannot confirm that.

It was purchased by the US Government, if you look close you can see the lettering on the door.  I was told it spent many years at the Belfry, MT cemetery. 

Sadly, I have been unable to keep in under cover all the time these past eight years, and the paint shows this.  It had always been my intention to

paint it, but didn't want it done cheaply, so I didn't do it at all.   I am a fan of Dodge stepsides, and based on what I see pass thru ebay and if you ever see one parked, this is one of

the straightest, least abused you will find in unrestored condition.  The seat has been recovered in original fabric from SMS, at a professional upholstery shop.  I have used this pickup for

a spare runaround truck, and for when I need an open bed to move things.  The bed wood is original, and has warped, but not bad for 40 years old.  Over the years, I have had some carb work

done, block heater installed, new muffler, new tires (Coopers), which have good tread, but showing age.  It can be cold blooded below freezing, but if plugged in, it starts fine.  It runs better when

driven on a regular basis. I have all reciepts for work done, and these will be included.

The oil gets changed every year, regardless of the mileage I put on (1,000 mile average/year)  All the lights work, as well as all gauges and such.  It was a radio delete originally, as the radio in

it when I bought it had three holes in the area for the radio.  I cut the hole out with a dremel tool, and installed a period correct AM Chrysler radio, but it does not work, just for looks.  I imagine it

might work if you are handy that way.   The motor sounds good, seems to burn a little oil, auto transmission works fine.  Newer floormat, floor had surface rust, sprayed with a sealer, put down new

insulator carpet.  The only rust thru is behind the front wheels, very common for Dodge's of this era.  There is surface rust and oxidation otherwise, the pictures show all areas.

I have enjoyed this pickup a long time, and never figured I would ever sell it.   But, I decided my backup should be 4WD and heavier duty, and a 1987 W250 came along, running out of room.

I would hope that another fan of Dodge stepsides will buy it, and repaint it in its original Medium Blue.  It had a badly painted white bumper when I bought it, and I replaced it with a decent chrome one.

It has the original hubcaps, and even the reflectors on the rear sides, how often do you see those?!   Also, this vehicle is basic, be sure this is what you want!  No power steering, no A/C, just a time 

machine to 1973.  The gas tank is in the cab, and if it is full, there can be an odor of gas, so I don't fill it.  The original tank was rusty inside, a replacement was found, cleaned, tested.  Also, new fuel pump

and fuel filters, and gas lines.    There a few minor dings, and scratches.  Window rubber needs replaced.  This vehicle is 40 years old, there is no warranty.   

   If you have any questions, please feel free to call (406) 351-1492.  Thank you for viewing my auction.

How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.

Tesla Model S P85D shows 707-hp Dodge Challenger Hellcat how to drag race

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Street Car Drags hosted a bang-up event at the Palm Beach International Raceway last weekend, with a list of massive horsepower ICE cars going up against one another and a trio of Tesla Model S P85Ds. One of those duels pitted the 691-horsepower Tesla against a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and the result was an old-school beatdown and a world record for electric cars. The Model S P85D ran the quarter in 11.6 seconds at 114.6 miles per hour, the new mark for BEVs at the drag strip. Proving its pace, it ran three more times in 11.69, 11.72 and 11.76 seconds. It got from the start line to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. The Hellcat, well, it wasn't a race, really. It was the Hellcat's driver's first time at a drag strip and his first time trying to launch it, so after an excellent burnout ahead of the lights, he rolled to the line, almost jumped the start, balked at the real start and spun his tires for the first 100 feet down the strip. The theory is that he overheated his street tires during that burnout, and the resulting greasy rubber did what greasy rubber does. By the time he got to the other end 17.46 seconds later the Tesla driver had showered and was enjoying a funnel cake. When things go right, though, Dodge estimates the Hellcat will do 11.2-second runs on street tires and it has been clocked at 10.85 seconds at 126.18 mph on street-legal drag radials. There's video of the not-quite-a-race above, and Drag Times says there'll be a rematch between the two in a couple of weeks.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
