This is a 1978 Dodge Adventurer Club Cab. It has the High Output 440 V8 with 4 barrel carb, P711 automatic transmission and air conditioning. The adventurer was the top of the line from Dodge and had wood grain dash accents, carpeted lower doors, full complement of gauges including a tach (which works intermittently) and a pair of childs jump seats behind the front seat. The speedo shows 63K but I am unsure what the mileage is as it exceeds the speedometer capability. This truck is a beast with tons of low end torque and when purchased 7 years ago was going to be used for hunting etc. but it didn't pass smog and was decided to wait for the 30 year exemption that was nixed by Gov Arnold Schwartzenegger thus becoming a ranch errand runner hauling guys and parts to and from the field on dirt farm roads. If purchased and you are planning on smogging it, it may need a new catalytic as well as a new carb and that should be it all emissions were left in tact. If you live in a state not that doesn't smog or this truck is too old to smog, your good to go. The truck has power steering though there is a small leak on the ps pump. It has a three inch lift done by previous owner and older BFG All Terrain tires, with tread left but may be good to change out. The four wheel drive works great and has a locking pair of front hubs on the front axle. It has dual tanks and a 300 mile range. The body doen't appear to have ever been wrecked but has little bumps and scratches here and there as well as the two stage paint is loosing its clear coat in patches as shown in a couple of pictures.. The rear shell is missing the lift gate as it was when I bought it. There doesn't appear to be any rust in the floors, rockers or lower doors as is prevailant on so many old dodge trucks. It has an extra grille and front bumper as well as a heater box to replace those dinged up parts is so desired. The drivers window regulator needs help up and down and the turn signal switch works but needs help as well. I do not know if the cruise control works. Overall a solid truck and a good runner.

Delivery of Pickup is responsibility of buyer and I will store for 30 days after purchase for no additional charge.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
Defiance Dodge Charger, saving Earth from aliens isn't clean work [w/video]
Fri, 08 Feb 2013You'll be forgiven for not having heard about the TV show Defiance - it actually hasn't aired its first episode yet. The new science fiction show about an alien war against Earth in the near future seems like a perfect fit for the SyFy channel, and, apparently one that Dodge saw as a slick marketing opportunity for its Charger sedan.
Here in Chicago, Dodge has given a large corner of its show stand to the Defiance Charger, a car that won't be skipped by any Mad Max fans in attendance at this year's show. The Charger boasts one hell of a gnarly patina under a confusingly welded cage of tube steel, as well as window bars, a grille guard in front, and big, knobby truck tires. There aren't any obvious guns or turrets on the outside of the vehicle, so we can only hope that the characters driving it go well-armed.
Look for the Charger to make its star turn in Defiance when the series premieres on SyFy on April 15 at 9:00 PM EST. Also, there's said to be a Defiance video game in the works, too, so you may get a chance to steer the burly Dodge for yourself. Find a trailer for the show, below, as well.
