Newport Beach, California, United States
Up for bid is a: 1966 DODGE A100 Pickup Truck with a PERFORMANCE 225 Mopar Clifford 6=8 Headers. This is the RARE 3 Window Version (the super stock truck used for the Promotional Little Red Wagon). This Original California Barn Find Was bought by a friend Tony in the 1990's (where it was used on a ranch in California) with plans of turning it into a Little GREEN Wagon, opting for the Original 6 cylinder to keep it stock, but add CLIFFORD performance. Extensive mechanical work was done on this low miles truck to include New Engine, Rebuilt Transmission, Brakes all redone new lines etc, Practically everything was done. Have receipts, This truck runs and drives and handles GREAT! All body work was done by Chuck Morris who has had his work shown in Hot Rod Magazine, with some slight customizations eliminating vertical seam lines at rear and at the top of bed walls. 1n 2006 The truck was ready to have the exterior painted and I would complete by adding Firestone Redline tires (made by Coker) mounted on Strait rims that were powder coated to last as was the grill. Then the interior and replace body & trim and bumpers with either NOS Mopar parts or restored original parts, Once the truck was re assembled it hit the streets of Malibu and was driven very lightly (Used for promoting the SJOBECK Malibu Brand of Mens Denim) . The Decals are soft and will remove easily should you want to remove them. The final details has been a slow work in progress, preferring to only replace original parts with original NOS parts, so there is still minimal effort to take it to the next level. or just drive it as it is and get tons of attention and thumbs up everywhere you go.
The NOS, NEW OLD STOCK Parts: OEM Red tipped Wipers, arms & bezels, Washer sprayers, outside Door handles, turn lens brake and dome lens lights are OEM NOS as well as OEM NOS Back up/ plate chrome & lights, OEM NOS headlight Bezels as well as OEM NOS turn signal switch as well as Horn button, as you may know these parts are so Expensive when and if you can ever find them. Now it is time for someone to enjoy this truck that I have kept in the Garage and driven under 6 thousand miles since 2006, Has Its original Sun visor posts restored and a new headliner by Acme ( I could not find OEM material on these. Has the Super stock seats redone with a grey matched material and they look factory, will need a speedo cable, and a pedal pad, rubber floor mat as well a new paint to make it show as the painter did poor prep work in some areas and it did not grab in the bed and some other areas, but still looks great from ten feet. all Pictures are current except for 1 that was shown online in the Iowa Hawk and also was shown at Fast Eddies website and on The Hundreds Streetwear clothing brand website as well. Has its original Owner Card from the Chrysler corporation with vin number and specs on it and comes with current registration and a clean title!

Dodge Durango gets the Blacktop treatment
Sat, 09 Aug 2014The Dodge Durango is getting a meaner, more aggressive look as it becomes the latest model from the brand to wear the Blacktop Appearance Package. The upgrades are strictly cosmetic, but they lend the SUV a more assertive demeanor that some buyers like.
Available on the SXT, Limited and R/T (shown above) models, all Blacktop Durangos get black 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bod- color fascia and gloss black trim. The grille surround, air dam, mirrors and headlight surrounds all get the inky treatment, as well. The improvements add $1,590 to the cost of the SXT. They come to $1,990 on the Limited but also include HID headlights with LED running lights and a leather interior. Finally, R/T buyers only need to pay $295 for the upgrades. The Blacktop Durango hits showrooms this October.
If you're already in the market for a Durango but want a dash more style with no added performance, the Blacktop might not be a bad way to go. It certainly gives the SUV a bit more edge than it has in stock form. Scroll down to read the full release.
NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged
Fri, 23 May 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
