This auction is for a CLEAN, 1 owner, 1981 Dodge RAM Prospector pickup truck. The truck has 82,395 ORIGINAL miles on it. It was purchased NEW by my father in 1981 and the color was a Special Order color scheme of Beige over White. The cab was repainted about 10 years ago. The interior is in GREAT condition, NO dash cracks. I have an extra set of redone door panels that I never put in. Also have another hood the same color as a backup in case I needed one as I found a short bed version of the truck in a junkyard several years ago & took some of the parts off before they crushed it. The truck was running until a few years ago when my son quit driving it around out farm. It has the GOOD 318 V8 engine that Dodge was known for for years. I did pour some gas into the carb & got it started and it was running really rough so it probably needs a carb kit installed. The truck was in perfect running condition before the heater core went out & we just parked it and for a while would start it & drive it about a mile a week, but then just left it parked. It wouldn't take much to restore this truck as it was well taken care of, but it was parked for a few years after my dad passed until my son used it to learn how to drive around our farm, then it was parked under my mom's carport where it's just sitting. She wants to get rid of it now so I'm listing it on eBay for her. As far as what I KNOW that it NEEDS for sure is : Carb Kit, Heater Core, Window Tracks repaired or replaced, possibly brake pads & tires. The truck NEVER used any oil or did it leak any. I have no idea what condition all of the seals are in now. Before the heater core blew, the A/C would FREEZE you out !! I had the windshield replaced in 2006 due to it beginning to "cloud" up in places. I also had replaced the floor carpet with OEM carpet before it wasn't available through Mopar anymore. I have a large parking lot at my old store that will accomodate an 18 wheeler transport for pickup. The high bidder will be responsible for making arrangements for the pickup and shipment arrangements of the truck. I will help anyway I can. This truck is 32 years old & considered a CLASSIC. It is NOT in MINT condition but wouldn't take as much to get it back 100% as it would most trucks of this age. GREAT PROJECT & INVESTMENT as I'm starting it out at what I feel is a LOW & reasonable starting bid. I was told that upon complete restoration, this truck could bring between $9000-$14000 if done correctly. This came from a friend that does restorations for a living. I don't have the time or interest in doing it myself & my mom said it was time for it to go, There is NO complete rust-through on this truck but as you can see it is starting to get light areas of paint deterioration & light SURFACE rusty spots are forming especially on the hood vent area but it will sand & repaint with no issues. It needs to go to someone who will put a little TLC into & have themselves a NICE show truck or truck that will turn heads at local car shows. Please e-mail any questions & I'll get with you ASAP.

Dodge Viper ACR reportedly green lit [w/video]
Fri, Feb 6 2015The Dodge Viper might be getting a little more venomous in the near future thanks to a return of the performance-honed ACR trim. According to an anonymous source leaking the info to Allpar, the version would go into production in July as a 2016 model year vehicle. FCA US showed a concept for a future ACR (pictured above) at the 2014 SEMA Show that sported carbon fiber parts for the front splitter and dive planes, plus a picnic-table-sized rear wing. The body also received ducts at the rear to shoot cool air to the differential. A set of 15.4-inch carbon-ceramic brake rotors also brought things to a halt in a hurry. The company promised all the aero pieces were sculpted in the wind tunnel to give the coupe even more downforce. To shed weight, engineers chucked the radio, speakers, carpet and sound deadening out of the interior, and they replaced many bits with even more carbon fiber. All of the tweaks are necessary because the ACR moniker carries serious cachet for the Viper at the track, especially at the Nurburgring. One reportedly did a 7:22 lap around the 'Ring in 2008, and another improved that further to 7:12 in 2011. Autoblog reached out to FCA US for comment about the possibility for the hotter Viper, but the company wasn't willing to comment about any possible, future projects. Related Video:
Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?

Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity
Wed, May 19 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.
