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.

2015 Dodge Challenger looks fresh, still plenty retro [w/video]

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

It was the Ford Mustang that kicked off the retro-styled muscle car renaissance back in 2005, but it was the Dodge Challenger that served as the movement's poster child, with its unabashedly retro looks. Over the years, though, as the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro were freshened and upgraded, the look of the big Dodge has remained largely consistent since its 2008 debut. For 2015, the Challenger has received a big freshening, boasting strongly revised front and rear ends and (finally, finally, finally) a redesigned interior.
Let's talk about that new cabin first. It's basically been plucked directly from the redesigned Charger, and boasts the same seven-inch IP display. The center stack's miserable, last-gen display has been replaced by an expansive, 8.4-inch UConnect system. Material quality should see a solid boost with the new cabin, as well.
The exterior, meanwhile, sees a revised front fascia with LED halo lights, as well as new grille inserts. A functional shaker hood scoop is a must-have extra on the V8 models, while the back of the car is highlighted by a new set of LED taillights that don't use the "Racetrack" design of Dodge's other models.

2003-04 Dodge Viper recalled for sudden airbag deployment

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

As if driving the old Dodge Viper (not the fancy new SRT model) isn't intimidating enough, imagine trying to wrangle that V10 beast and then suddenly having the airbags deploy. Yikes. That's apparently what could happen to some 3,660 Viper models from the 2003 and 2004 model years, and as such, Chrysler has issued a recall.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the car's airbag control module may fail, causing the bags or seatbelt pre-tensioners to deploy without warning while the vehicle is in operation. That's a dangerous scenario in any car, let alone one offering insane horsepower a near-total paucity of safety nannies should things get squirrely.
Owners will be notified this month about the recall, though a remedy is not expected to be available until later this year. Scroll down for the full NHTSA statement.

Macron and Le Pen decry 'shocking' Stellantis CEO pay

Mon, Apr 18 2022

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron and his far-right challenger in the French presidential vote, Marine Le Pen, on Friday both decried as “shocking” the multimillion euro payout to the CEO of carmaker Stellantis. Stellantis CEO Carlos TavaresÂ’ remuneration package of 19.15 million euros just a year after the company was formed became an issue as Macron and Le Pen campaigned ahead of the April 24 runoff vote. Polls show purchasing power and inflation are a top voter concern. Stellantis was formed last year through the merger of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Centrist President Emmanuel Macron, perceived by many voters as being too pro-business, called the pay package “astronomical” and pushed for a Europe-wide effort to set ceilings on “abusive” executive pay. “ItÂ’s shocking, itÂ’s excessive,” he said Friday on broadcaster France-Info. “People canÂ’t have problems with purchasing power, difficulties, the anguish theyÂ’re living with, and see these sums. Otherwise, society will explode.” Far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who enjoys support from many working-class voters, called for bringing in more workers as shareholders. “Of course itÂ’s shocking, and itÂ’s even more shocking when it is the CEOs who have pushed their society into difficulty,” she said Friday on BFM television. “One of the ways to diminish this pay, which is often out of proportion with economic life, is perhaps to allow workers in as shareholders.” Stellantis continued to back the package despite a 52.1% to 47.9% vote rejecting it at an annual shareholders' meeting chaired from the Netherlands, where the company is legally based, on Wednesday. The company, citing Dutch civil code, noted that the vote is advisory and not binding. The company later said in a statement that it took note of the vote, and will explain in an upcoming 2022 remuneration report “how this vote has been taken into account.” In the 2021 report, the company identified peer group companies that it used as a salary benchmark, including U.S. companies like Boeing, Exxon Mobile, General Electric as well as carmakers Ford and General Motors. Stellantis, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Jeep, Opel and Maserati, reported net profits last year had tripled to 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion). The French government is the third-largest shareholder in Stellantis, with a 6.15% stake through the Bpifrance Participations S.A. French public investment bank.
