Ultra Clean & Straight Survivor Of The 1980's on 2040-cars
New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
|
Relisted because of non-paying "buyer". Reluctantly offered up for sale is my ultra clean, cherry 1985 Dodge Ram 150 Royal SE Prospector pick up truck. I now have 3 cars and 1 truck and not enough parking for all four. One of these vehicles has to go. I purchased this truck from it's long time owner in southwest Texas, close to the "Arid-zona" border. The dry climate out there could be why there are NO rust holes on this truck! The (mostly) original paint is still Smooth and Shiny, the under carriage also rust free. There are no rips or tears in the seat, carpeting, dashboard or headliner, as the pics here show. The seat's insides are still firm and supportive. I am guessing that the mileage is 123K; but it sits, looks and drives like a 23K vehicle. The 318, 2 barrel carb engine starts up instantly and idles quite smoothly when warmed up. The 3 speed TorqueFlite transmission shifts up and down by textbook standards, part throttle down shifts happen exactly when needed. (Did you know that the powertrain combination of the 318 engine and 3 speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission was Chrysler Corporation's lowest warranty claim powertrain....ever?) The smooth, easy to use power steering and power front disc brakes give great driving ease. the tilt steering wheel and cruise control add to your driving ease and enjoyment. The muffler & tailpipe appear to be of recent replacement. IMO this truck drives as sweet and perfect as it did the day it was built. The heater WILL scorch you in the winter, the Factory Air Conditioning is all intact but inoperative. The am/fm "Quartz Lock Precision Series" factory radio works as well as one can expect from almost 40 year old technology. IDK if the cassette player still works; no cassettes to try in it. In my efforts to make this truck a completely reliable & enjoyable driver I have replaced the following in the last 2 years/3K miles: spark plugs & wires, dist, cap & rotor, ignition module, coil, carburetor, fan clutch, brand new battery, alternator & voltage regulator, radiator hoses, thermostat & radiator cap, fuel pump & filter, oil pan and oil pump (gasket was leaking, oil drain bolt rounded off, changed oil pump "just in case" because it was accessible at the time), windshield & gasket and added Dodge factory fender mounted turn signal indicators. The tires were brand new, with the nubbies still on the side when I bought the truck. The front brake pads have plenty of miles left on them. The headlights have been upgraded to the Sylvania "Silver Series" for increased brightness/night time visibility. This low mileage truck needs nothing! Just drive it and enjoy it. The turn signals, brake lights, back up lights, horn, intermittent wipes & washers all work. It passed LA state inspection a few months ago. This truck was to be my "loaner" vehicle for my family & friends so I made darn sure it would perform perfectly for us all. It's been "loaned out" several times with no complaints; just admiring comments and praise. The enclosed pictures just do not do this truck justice. It truly is a very clean, reliable almost 40 year old survivor! I am always surprised and flattered by the compliments and comments it receives from strangers. Legal stuff: Although I know of no major problems with this old truck, it is being sold "As-Is" with no warranty given. There is an intermittent rattle somewhere in the dashboard. I have tried to be truthful and give an accurate description of this truck. No refund will be offered. I will have to have full payment before I can release this truck to you or your shipping agent. Bid now, bid often! (HaHa!) If you have ANY questions email me here; I check my emails several times a day. |

Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity
Sun, 27 Jul 2014
Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.
FCA adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to Uconnect
Mon, Jan 4 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has three showcases ready for this week's Consumer Electronics Show. The spotlight reveal is a "glimpse" of the fourth-generation Uconnect system, which now gets Apple CarPlay and Google's Android Auto. They lead the advances due to be rolled out this year, which include beefier internals for faster startup and processing, the next evolution of the Uconnect navigation system, capacitive touchscreens, and higher resolution screens. Going beyond the vehicle, a concept display will present solutions to help drivers achieve "Car. Life. Balance." That means, as we've heard before, a car that knows what you want before you realized you wanted it via monitoring your driving habits, communicating with other vehicles and traffic infrastructure, and prioritizing information in certain situations to keep the driver from being overwhelmed. A Waze-like community of road knowledge is also on the menu, and it allows for tagging of tag street conditions to inform other vehicles, and a follow-me mode where people can "request to follow other vehicles." Government types will want to scope out the 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit with an exclusive Uconnect system boasting a 12.1-inch screen and enhanced resolution that can speak to the officer's mobile computer. Have a read of the press release below for more details.
