Underhood appears to have dirty inner fenderwells. This actually is either the factory or dealer applied undercoating which helped to preserve the truck but sprayed all in the painted steel areas of the inner fender wells. 
BODY & COSMETICS
The truck received a professional paint job a few years back in Viper Red since at the time the Lil' Red color was unavailable and this is the closest shade to match the original paint color. The paint job is still in great shape and clean and shiny.  There is one scratch along the lower rear fender on the passenger side right at the bottom of the fender. The exterior wood on the bed was also replaced at the same time and still presents very well. The driver's side floor was also replaced at that time with a reproduction exact fit floor pan. It was professionally removed, welded and seam sealed back in and then painted black. The bed has been recently restored/replaced with all original boards removed and used as templates for new oak boards which were then coated in marine grade varnish on the top and bottom to protect them. A chrome plated stainless steel strap and carriage bolt kit was used to bolt down the planks to fasten everything up and it looks great. New chrome plated tailgate chains were also installed. They have clear plastic protective sleeves on them as well.
Undercarriage of the truck is in good condition. No rot.  Some frame surface rust but no holes at all. This truck was either dealer or factory undercoated which protected and preserved the undercarriage. 
The original "Astro" wheels are in fair condition. They were known for surface rust. These do have some but again they are the original wheels. The rear BF-Goodrich tires are in like new condition. The front tires have about 70% tread on them. I also have the original full size matching spare with original Goodyear tire. 
INTERIOR:
The interior is in very good condition. The padded dash is in great shape with no cracks. All gauges work. The original radio is not working. Lighting is in good working condition. Head lights (hi/low beams), tail lights, turn signals all working. The seats were reupholstered some years ago in a simple plain black vinyl covering. Drivers side is developing a small crack along edge where you slide into the seat when entering the truck. The carpet has been replaced. The only item that could use replacement is the door rubber weatherstripping. It is old and has dried out and cracked in spots.

Ram exec: first 30-mpg pickup truck will 'win'

Fri, Aug 8 2014

It is totally possible, today, to take the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup truck, load it up with gear and people, and drive it from Texas to Michigan while getting 38 miles per gallon. We know because we did it. Officially, though, the 1500 gets just 20 mpg combined. A more impressive number is the 28 mpg on the highway. Bob Hegbloom, the Ram brand director, thinks that there's a more important fuel economy target to hit: 30 mpg. Whichever truck company can manage that feat, he recently told Automotive News, "wins." It's kind of an obvious thing to say, but in the 1500 with both the EcoDiesel and the V6 Pentastar engine, Hegbloom said, "fuel economy is so important." Hegbloom didn't promise that the next EcoDiesel truck will manage to get on up over the 30 hump, but he did say that Ram is not sitting still when it comes to fuel economy. "I just want to have continuous improvement and to keep gaining every day," he said. "We sat still in the past and it doesn't lead to a great place."

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
