Fresh back from Vegas, SLC, Moab, Telluride and Carbondale, Colorado! This is a 1984 Dodge Van with extended body 4x4 van - V8 engine that always starts, runs smooth and drives great! Originally a CA vehicle, so it's a clean runner. It has a lift, 4x4 drive train and a high top as you can see in the photos. It's reliable, tight and mechanically sound. Engine rebuilt around 90K, so it's fresh and solid. It's a great opportunity to create your own / finish this home build or have someone add in the rest for you. We've camped in it, driven it around town and all over the Western US and had a lot of fun.  We've owned it for a few years and hate to see her go. Reliable and fun traveling all over OR, CA, ID, CO, UT and more. A great camper, mobile hunting cabin, home-built Sportsmobile-type rig, surf van, Baja traveler or whatever you want to do! Just won runner up in Van Life competition in CO.

Details:
+ Miles: 118, 223 on body. Regular maintenance done and full engine rebuild done at 90k or close to it.
+ Just had full coolant service, multi point inspection, oil / filter change
+ New front brakes / tuned rotors
+ Fresh coolant / radiator inspection
+ Multi-point inspection passed with flying colors
+ Newly repacked bearings / replaced seals

+ New rotary fuel pump at 109K miles - done at Larry H Miller Dodge in Boise (all work done there since living in Boise)
+ New Big O Tires 285/75R16 tires at 111,209 miles (brand new shoes!) ($900)
+ Brand new custom memory foam cushions in back -- leatherette for easy cleaning and comfort ($600) -- never slept on, but super comfortable
+ Brand new high-end leatherette covered folding sofa bed (best foam we could find) ($650) - bins fit great underneath for storage and sofa folds with them underneath
+ Extended body vehicle
+ 2 sky vents on top
+ Front passenger chair swivels toward back
+ New neoprene seat covers
+ New Alpine Stereo & 6x9 Kenwood speakers purchased & installed at Best Buy in Boise 8/13 ($500)

+ Awning attached for shade over the side slide door
+ Tinted windows (fresh UV resistant curtain)
+ MPG is 13+ give or take no matter what. It has a 30-gallon tank, so it's easy to get about 300-330 miles to the tank...but I never pushed it past 310.
+ Reflectix insulation installed throughout (side walls and doors double insulated with Owens Corning EcoTouch insulation as well) for superior warmth - think about parking for the weekend to ski at Brundage, Targhee, Tahoe, Baker...

+ Foam pad below oak floor for quiet and insulation

+ Surge protector installed for shore power option
+ Drives well and is comfortable on the highway
+ Ladder for top access
+ 2" hitch in rear for trailer, rack, towing a boat...

Other things to note in general:
- This is a project or finished, it's up to you - the interior isn't "finished" but we built it to our needs / wants. Mechanically, this is a solid vehicle, but you can make it your own on the inside. The hard work is done (rust mitigation, insulation, some interior build out) but from above the line of the van / high top, it's insulated, but not finished. We left it this way to put surfboards / paddleboards inside the van for safety
- comes with spare tire
- no back bumper
- custom front bumper is ready for a wench
- has a/c but it's currently disconnected
- heat / defrost works great!
- always starts right up no matter what, but is a little slow to get warmed up when it's very cold out (below 10 degrees)
- all glass in tact and sealed
- new-ish paint
- up to date service

Comes with all receipts, jack, Hayes manual and a few other parts (extra seat belt, tail lights, filters, etc.) and is ready to roll. Also has blueprints for interior options.

Title in hand for easy sale.
Delivery is 100% buyer's responsibility - I will help arrange pick up.

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
