BODY: Very solid fenders, hood, cab, doors, and bed, no rust on an of these areas. It will need left inner fender well and radiator support replaced, (typical rust areas on these D Series Dodges) It also appears to have three nickel sized rust spots around the windshield gasket. The truck frame and rocker rails are solid and straight. Bed and the tailgate and fenders are rust free and dent free. It has been repainted from its original Metallic Root Beer Brown to a color similar to Petty Blue color. It looks like it was a very inexpensive "mask tape" and spray job. Needs a good buff because it has sat in the Texas sun and has begun to fade on some of the roof and hood. Other than this it has small crease on the left front fender and few dings here and there but solid nonetheless.

MOTOR: I was told by previous owner the motor was rebuilt less than 3 years ago. he then proceeded to work on it little by little and never drove it other than up and down his street. Replaced the old Carter carb with a Brand new Thermoquad 4bbl. I have personally checked compression on all cylinders and it is tight all around. Cranks and Fires right up with no hesitation, no lifter noise, no knock. Its 318 motor; not the original engine. The truck was originally equipped with a Slant six motor. I have also installed new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, mechanical fuel pump. Also comes with additional eletric fuel pump installed but not connected.

TRANSMISSION: I have also replaced the tranny pan gasket and flushed the transmission. It appears to be T-Flite 727. The truck is NOT driveable. Shifts into reverse but, does not go forward... I ran out of money and cant replace it.

I believe this is great project truck, not common to find.... but the arrival of our baby, the lack of money has led me to sell it, and my lack of space prevents me from continuing to get it driveable. Please email me with any questions as I have described it to the best of my ability.

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.

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.
