I am selling my 1953 Dodge 5-Window Pickup truck. I had great plans to restore but simply do not have the time. The truck was in a lengthy storage but after draining out the old gas and throwing an old battery in, it started right up but ran roughly, so I had the points changed and plugs tweaked and now it starts and runs beautifully. 


I changed out most of the brake lines, re-wired everything to work, through on some tires and have been taking it to local shows as is. I built a solid diamond plate floor for it. Granted the truck has rust issues but the frame is solid and the motor excellent as is the drive train. So, your call as to whether to just rat rod it and drive as is after some inspection of wheel cylinders etc., or restore it and ask $20,000 as the one presently running is. Parts are readily available for this truck from multiple providers.

It is what it is- a running and driving 5-window pick up and they are not that easy to find. I am not looking to score big bucks, just recover my investment, so reserve is very reasonable. The vehicle is advertised locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Shipping is the buyers expense and responsibility but I will assist in any way necessary. The vehicle has a clear Massachusetts title and I will also provide a CT Bill of Sale.

 I will gladly answer all questions so please ask. Good luck bidding on this cool old "survivor"

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.

Stormtrooper Dodge Charger Episode IV: A New Soap

We spent a day with a Dodge Charger that looks like a Stormtrooper helmet and made a few videos. In this one, the Charger meets the car wash. May the force be with the dryer. Read about the car and watch the rest of the videos here.

Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]

Thu, 03 Jul 2014



A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
