 FOR SALE
One of a Kind Custom
1948 Dodge Rat Rod

You are bidding on a custom built street/strip truck.  The 1948 Dodge Pickup truck body has been chopped and is sitting on a a custom built frame that was designed to also mount a 1932 Ford. The engine was built by a local engine builder who regularly builds strip/street and drag engines and races his own cars weekly.  It has less than 100 miles on it because I only drive it occasionally around town.  This unique truck has the following features:
  • Chevy Small Block Engine - bored .030" over making it 355 cubic inches
  • Chevy 350 Turbo Transmission
  • Camaro Front Snout with Disk Brakes
  • 9" Ford Rear End
  • Wired for AC
  • Coil over Shocks
  • Power Windows
  • Aluminum Fuel Cell with Electric Fuel Pump Switch

I have a lot more invested in this than the starting bid.  I have priced it to sell.  This truck runs great.  It turns heads as it is or you can restore it to its original colors.  Because of the high compression engine and cam, it runs on 110 octane fuel or premium gasoline with octane booster.  In addition to the slicks currently installed on the rear of the car, I am including another pair of rear tires that have the tread pattern pictured mounted on the pictured spare rims. Also included is another pair of front rims.  The oil pressure/temperature/voltage gauge set (with the blue scale and orange arrow) was installed to monitor the engine conditions.  No other gauges are connected.


If you like a classic looking truck, the last picture (the photo of the truck with the green cab and black bed) is a picture  of a restored Dodge.  Obviously, that is NOT what this truck looks like.  As it is now, it is a rat rod.  I have been told by some of my friends that it shouldn't be painted because the current trend and highest value is leaving it as is!  

The truck is available to be viewed, inspected, and driven.  The truck is for sale locally.  Feel free to ask any questions.  I am not a mechanic or pro, but I will do my best.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014



We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
