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!

Peugeot's American future looks dead, but Stellantis intends to keep all brands alive
Fri, Feb 12 2021The years-old promise of a Peugeot return in the U.S. is looking bleaker by the second. Peugeot said the French brand would come back to sell cars in the U.S. five years ago, but now that FCA and PSA have transitioned to one Stellantis, that promise is looking a lot shakier. This news comes via a report from Car and Driver. When queried about Peugeot, Carlos Tavares, Stellantic CEO, offered this in response: “For the time being, I don't think that is part of the things that we want to prioritize for the next time window," Tavares said. "I think it's better that we funnel the talent, the capital, and the engineering capability of our Stellantis company to the existing brands to improve what needs to be improved and to accelerate where we need to accelerate, because we already have a very strong presence in this market." Tavares hasnÂ’t ruled it out entirely, but any kind of a Peugeot American renaissance is being pushed onto the backburner. In good news for American brands, though, Tavares expressed great interest in keeping them all. Chrysler was the most worrisome of the bunch, as it only sells the aging 300 sedan and Pacifica minivan variants. Nevertheless, Tavares sees Chrysler as one of the “three historical pillars of Stellantis” and is eager “to give this brand a future.” Specifically, Tavares sees a high-tech future for the once-great American car company. Motor Trend reported on what Tavares spoke about in a call with the media. "It needs to rebound,” Tavares said. “We could think about what could be the next technologies in the automotive industry.” The obvious hint here is electrification and greater autonomy. Chrysler could theoretically become StellantisÂ’ electric showcase brand. ItÂ’s partway there with the Pacifica Hybrid PHEV minivan, but thereÂ’s still a long way to go for it to become the conglomerate's tech pillar. And then thereÂ’s Dodge and its powerful but emissions-heavy lineup. "We have the technology to deliver the torque, dynamics, and acceleration feeling, while also dramatically reducing the emissions," Tavares said. The Hellcat canÂ’t have a window-shattering 6.2-liter supercharged V8 forever, but it looks like Stellantis is at least committed to keeping the performance of DodgeÂ’s current lineup. Related video:
2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models
Thu, 16 May 2013After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.
Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Judging 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.
