Hello Everyone! You are looking at a beautiful and extremely rare truck. I had to look for one of these for a very long time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to devote any time towards making it my dream truck, with the exception of the wheels and tires. I purchased the wheels off eBay, and the tires are brand new (less than 500 miles on them). The truck is in great condition. The previous and original owner took excellent care of it (evidenced by the engine bay and interior). When I purchased it, it had the transmission issue. I've put about 1500 miles on it, including an 800 mile round trip across the Midwest. The transmission makes noise when the clutch is out, and in every gear with the exception of fourth. Some gears are worse than others. My point is this: I felt comfortable driving it a considerable distance.
Here are some pros:
-Extremely hard to find: V-8, 5-SPD manual transmission, 2WD, Regular Cab.
-Extremely clean engine bay
-Fresh oil change at 112,000
-New 255/55/17 tires (less than 500 miles)
-Interior is in excellent condition, with the exception of stains on the rear portion (close to seat) of the carpet
-Engine runs great! These 318 ci/ 5.2L V8s are known for their longevity. The previous and original owner took excellent care of this vehicle.
-Averaged 19 MPG on 800 mile road trip (this is really good considering 3.9 axle ratio)
-Limited Slip rear diff
-9.25" Chrysler rear end
-Nice throaty rumble from an aftermarket Borla cat-back exhaust (sounds really burblely when throttle is closed and slowing down!!)
-Has a really nice cover that latches in and rolls up easily.
Cons:
-Some light rust over rear wheel (visible in picture)
-Small indentations on hood (not visible in pictures)
-Transmission is making noise (not a clutch issue)
In closing, I know this beautiful truck will find a great home. If you're interested and want to know more, message me. I tried to make a video of the noise, and it was not audible over the exhaust.
Vehicle is sold AS-IS. I have made the utmost attempt to describe the vehicle in detail.

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.
2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.
