For sale here is my old Dodge pickup.  I have owned this truck for a little over a year and put pver 14,000 miles on it in that time.  It has been a very good and dependable little truck.  In my estimation, the Dakota is a far better and more useful "small" truck than either a Ranger or an S-10.  I drove this truck back and forth between Washington, D.C. and Columbus, OH three different times, hauling a motorcycle twice and had no troubles.  The 3.9L engine pulls strong enough to maintain 80mph through the hills of West Virginia.  The air conditioner blows cold air; I did recharge the freon once.  I recently replaced the oxygen sensor and spark plugs which improved the mileage a bit.  I have kept track of mileage, gas usage, and oil changes since I owned the truck and will provide those records to the buyer.  It gets around 18mpg. 

This era of Dodge was painted with the Chrysler Corporation's first attempt at water-based paint and as you may know, they didn't do so well.  These were famous for having big sections of paint peel off, and this truck is no exception.   The previous owner covered any exposed primer or metal, however.  Granted, I think he used Dutch Boy and a brush, but it protected the metal.  There are a couple of very minor surface rust spots, and no through rust ANYWHERE on this truck.  It's a very solid candidate for a repaint.  I thought about putting a Dogde 360 in it, but I have too many toys and projects right now and don't need any more.   

I had been using this truck every day until a couple weeks ago when the transmission started slipping.  It slips badly now.  The truck will start and run, but can't be driven above an idle speed or the transmission just slips.  I have another pickup truck that I can use when I need a truck and a bike to ride when I don't, so I don't need this little truck anymore.  This would be a fun project to make a hot rod pickup with.  Or, if someone just wants to put a transmission in it I see no reason why it wouldn't go many more thousands of miles... but it's not going to be me!  I'm starting the auction at one dollar!  So just bid one dollar more than the last guy and it's yours.

I can help to load the truck onto a trailer but that's it.  I will not help in shipping beyond handing over the keys.  The truck is located in Columbus, OH.  Please ask any questions you have prior to bidding and I will do my best to answer them.  Best to ask before the weekend as I will be at National Guard Drill Saturday and Sunday....

Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding!

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
