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!

Classic Design Concepts has another riff on the widebody Challenger
Wed, Nov 2 2016Dodge is secretly working on a widebody Hellcat-powered Challenger dubbed the ADR. But for those that can't wait a few years, there's this – Classic Design Concepts' Group 2 Widebody Challenger that was unveiled at SEMA. The original Group 2 Widebody Challenger from CDC made its debut at SEMA back in 2008, but was given a new look for this year's trade show. The car, which you can scrutinize in the gallery above, features a bright red paint job with a blacked-out American flag on the left rear fender and "Hemi" in yellow on the right side. The wheels are also color-coated to match the rear billboard fenders, with the right side being finished in yellow and the left side a dark gray. CDC's body kit is wide, slammed to the ground, and menacing. And if you happen to forget that this is a widebody Challenger, because the extra six inches of width are hard to miss, there's a clear reminder on the back of the car.

For his last act, Marchionne will outline an EV/hybrid roadmap this week
Wed, May 30 2018MILAN/LONDON — Fiat Chrysler (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne is expected to outline new plans for electric and hybrid cars in a strategy presentation on Friday, aiming to ensure the world's seventh-largest carmaker remains in the race in the absence of a merger. The 65-year-old will present FCA's strategy to 2022, his final contribution to the company he turned around and multiplied in value through 14 years of canny dealmaking. After failing to secure a tie-up he said was necessary to manage the costs of producing cleaner vehicles, Marchionne needs to show the group can keep churning out profits on its own, even as emissions rules tighten, SUV competition intensifies and worries around his succession abound. Marchionne had long refused to jump on the electrification bandwagon, saying he would only do so if selling battery-powered cars could be done at a profit. He even urged customers not to buy FCA's Fiat 500e, its only battery-powered model, because he was losing money on each sold. But Tesla's success and the need to comply with tougher emissions rules have forced Marchionne to commit to what he calls "most painful" spending. "FCA is way behind rivals in terms of hybrid and electric vehicles and they need to hit the accelerator to convince investors they can close that gap," said Andrea Pastorelli, a fund manager at 8a+ Investimenti. Germany's Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW and U.S. rivals GM and Ford have committed to spending billions of euros each in coming years to try produce profitable cars powered by cleaner fuels. FCA needs to present a clear roadmap, just like Volvo Cars, which ditched diesel from its best-selling XC60 SUV, launched a new electric brand and pledged to shift all brands to hybrid by 2019, a banking source close to FCA said, noting: "The tech divide determines winners and losers in the industry." Marchionne has already said half of the wider FCA fleet will incorporate some elements of electrification by 2022, while luxury marque Maserati will spearhead FCA's electrification drive by making all new models due after 2019 electric. But its plans remain vaguer and less advanced than most big rivals and some investors wonder about the capital required to make vehicles compliant, and what share of spending can go to electrification given FCA's numerous demands.
