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.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.

Continental Automotive recalls 5 million airbag control units

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Takata isn't the only supplier having airbag problems. Rival manufacturer Continental Automotive Systems announced a recall of 5 million airbag control units fitted to vehicles from Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, Mercedes-Benz, and even a certain Chrysler-based Volkswagen. This sweeping recall has actually been in progress for some time, although the exact scope is only now becoming evident. In October of 2015, Mercedes-Benz recalled 2008 and 2009 model year C- and GLK-Class vehicles because their Continental-made airbag control units could corrode. Such a condition could cause the airbags to deploy without cause or warning, or in the event of a crash, not deploy at all. You can read all about it in our post from last year. Now, Continental's recall is going wide. Alongside the already recalled C and GLK, you've already heard about the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accord airbag recall, which we reported on yesterday. Now, Fiat Chrysler is announcing the recall of the 2009 Dodge Journey, as well as the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and their rebadged counterpart, the Volkswagen Routan. Yes, one manufacturer is recalling another manufacturer's vehicle. The models listed above only amount to about 580,000 vehicles out of 5 million bad airbag control units. And since Continental will notify manufacturers who will then issue their own recalls, it's extremely likely that more brands and vehicles will be ensnared. Stay tuned.

Is America's last cheap minivan worth it?

Wed, Dec 16 2015

Take a good look at this beauty. Because once she's gone there may be no turning back. The minivan market has been completely decimated over the past fifteen years. I could list all the former brands (dead and alive) that once formed the lynchpin of parenthood for this inherently conservative market. But that would involve at least fourteen commas, three sets of parentheses, and possibly even one 2000s-style recount. Back then, middle-class America loved these people-movers and even the well-to-do were glad to load them up with unique luxuries such as power sliding doors, captain's chairs, integrated child seats, and DVD players that entombed cacophonous kids into a temporary silence. Back in the '90s, the minivan market regularly realized well over a million sold units a year. In 2000, minivans finally hit their familial peak of 1.4 million vehicles in a year with the help of two top-20 bestsellers: the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country. Today the minivan just isn't popular. This year it'll likely represent only a half-million in annual sales, with not a single minivan hitting America's top 30 in overall volume. But as I always tell folks, "If you want a deal, you have to hit 'em where they ain't." So you want a cheap and affordable minivan for cash money that isn't a 15-year-old Plymouth in purple? Does it have to be new? Really? Well, if you're married to that type of person, this Grand Caravan with the American Value Package is the cheapest thing going. Deals can also be had on the mini-minivan Mazda5, but since it's been discontinued due to low demand, let's focus on the still-popular Chrysler minivan. The cost for this 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan according to TrueCar is right around $19,500 depending on where you live in the USA. But let's take a look at the 2015 models instead since they tend to have even stronger discounts during the wintertime thanks to manufacturers and dealers who are busy shoveling out all this older inventory. If you opt for a 2015 model instead, you're looking at a market price right around $17,800 and luckily these minivans are still sitting in multitude. Wanna click those rebate and incentive buttons? If you currently lease or finance a FIAT or Chrysler product, have AAA coverage, and finance the car with FCA, you can make off like the proverbial bandit for a price of only $15,229 before the dealer inflicts their bogus fee money dance.
