Hello to all the seasoned P W collectors out there as well as new comers to our special niche of the collector truck world. Here is a chance to own a rare Dodge One Ton Power Wagon that is virtually new ( NOT RESTORED ! ) Your looking at possibly the only model M601 w/ factory power steering in the U.S. (J.B. at Vintage Power Wagons confirmed this in a recent conversation ). This truck was shipped to the Israeli Military along with a few others to be used in the desert as a wrecker, thus the custom, factory made HD diamond plate 6.5 x 8 ft flat bed with roll bar. This particular truck was never commissioned, no hoist was ever mounted on the flatbed and the truck ended up being "re exported" back to the U.S. in August of 1990 by a major military equipment broker. The importation value at that time was $16,160.00. It was then purchased by a friend to use on his farm for a small fencing project and subsequently purchased by myself nine years ago. It has 397 original, actual miles ( 639 km ). Note the speedo / odometer are calibrated in kilometers. Finally, you will have a PW that will pull 80 on the clock !

As a Power Wagon collector for some 36 years, I was excited to acquire this truck because of the extremely low mileage and specs. My plans were to either utilize the Flatbed as a platform for a kick butt camper / Bugout machine ( especially since it is winch equipped ) OR do a very mild customization on the perfect, rust free body to include a color change to Navy Blue, a custom seating platform built into the stake bed flat bed, finished off with 11 x 20 custom wheels with Michelin Desert tires. To emphasize the condition of this truck, it needs nothing other than new 9:00 x 16 rubber to go down the road . Since this is the standard Power Wagon 126 in wheelbase, a third option would be to replace the factory flatbed and bolt on a Military Civilian express bed. Pretty sure once you see the massiveness of the flatbed / rollbar, you are going to want to include it in your final plan.

With the passage of time and the pressure of other projects and interests, it is time to realize that we probably will not get around to any of the above plans. This dude is way too kool to sit around in a building year after year, only to take an occasional lap around the property and then go under cover again. So I am pleased to pass this along to someone that will put it to active use and build their dream PW machine, be it a Parader, a Bugout, a Camper or something even wilder that we haven`t thought of yet.

Vehicle is ALL original, rust free sheet metal and under carriage. Equipped with 12 volt alternator electrics , drive train is very tight as to be expected,very dry underneath. Power Steering enables one hand turning with ease, working am / fm cassette radio mounted in glove compartment, speakers on the lower kick panels; canvas top and interior in good condition, HD roll bar / HD flat bed , Braden winch never unfurled, HD pintle hook on rear frame member. Factory installed HD rear PTO gear box with actuation lever, no doubt included in the build to accommodate the wrecker hoist that was never mounted on the flatbed. New components include : horn assembly, belts, hoses, water pump, wiper blades . fresh oil / filter and anti freeze . Tires are matching "made for USA vehicles" Alliance non- directionals, good tread, hold air fine but side walls are weak and should be replaced for over the road usage. Matching five gallon Jerry cans are set up with Distilled water on the left side and 12 year old Jack Daniels on the right. Military issue sipping straws available upon request..... This truck has been stored indoors at all times. Complete with original Gov. issued military owners manual and Craig stereo manual.

Also available for seperate purchase are the following Power Wagon accessories that may be of interest in connection with this truck :

1) A set of (4) 11 x 20 custom wheels with old non - directionals ; these 44`s will need a lift kit to fit this chassis. I have previously had these mounted on several of my WM 300`s over the years. The look is stunning, ground clearance is improved as is the effective ratios for going down the road;

and since your vehicle is power steering equipped, increased steering effort is of no concern.

2) A VERY RARE Garwood PTO powered HD 2000 # Capstan winch , would look /work great mounted on the front or rear of the flatbed, powered by the rear PTO gearbox, set up with a shaft / sprocket / chain layout. OR, this can be mounted to the massive rear bumper just like the WDX belt pully assemblies were to the rear frame members from the factory, using a direct drive rear pto shaft .

Please call for quote. Either or both accessories could easily be shipped out on the 601`s flatbed. Photos of these items are included for your review.

Temporary indoor storage is available after purchase at no charge. Also truck is located on a large farm facility which will accommodate any size hauler; we will assist with safe load on your transporter or can arrangre shipping for you at your expense.

Please Note : VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN REGISTERED. It comes with Hapag- Lloyd Bill of lading, Customs Service Entry Docs, State Certificate Of Sale, and Bill of Sale to new owner.

Retaining the right to end this auction up to the point reserve is met. ( Yeah, I`m already thinking letting this one go may be a huge mistake; on the other hand, it would only be the first one I`ve made today, so far.......)

Questions and in person inspections welcomed ! Good luck and Have fun, that`s what it is all about ............... CELL 973 534 2616 EMAIL joepowerwagon@gmail.com

Ron Burgundy returns for four more Dodge Durango ads

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Dodge has released several more of its Anchorman 2-themed commercials, starring Will Ferrell as inept newsreader Ron Burgundy. The four spots, one of which is a sequel to a previous commercial, follow roughly the same pattern as previous ads, with Ferrell's Burgundy misunderstanding or generally making a fool of himself. For some of the ads, though, Burgundy is selling more than just Durangos - the red-suited host of San Diego's most watched news broadcast shilling the entire Dodge lineup.
We've included all four ads down below, and you can also hope over to our original posts to see some of the older commercials. Oh, and if you're getting tired of these - we aren't, aside from the Do-dge spot - just remember that Ferrell reportedly filmed around 70 ads for Dodge.

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk

Fri, 09 May 2014

Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
