1938 Dodge pickup.
The truck is not what is looks like! It looks like an old Junker and that's how I like it, actually it's anything but that. The truck was built on it's original frame with Corvette C-4 suspension front and rear. It was done right it goes down the road strait and true. It has 4 wheel power disc brakes with power rac-n-pinion steering, Vintage AC that blows nice and cold. The motor is a 305 with edelbrock intake and summit 650 duel feed carburetor. The radiator is aluminum with electric fans front and back. The truck runs cool around 170-180 in the Florida heat. The transmission is overdrive 700r that works great. The rear has stock gear so she runs on the interstate at 70MPR @ 2,000 RPM's. The battery is located under the right rear fender it's in a drop down stainless steel box. The wiring is painless system and very wire is tagged with nice new fuse panel. The steering column is GM with tilt and key on the side. The gages are electric Dolphin and are all working as they should it also has working dome lights and under dash lights that come on when the doors are opened. It has an electric wiper motor and there is a wire running to it but I never hooked it up because I don't drive it in the rain. The glove box works fine and I built a steel insert and put a radio inside. I also put insulation under the carpet for sound and heat deading. The doors have bare claw latches and they do have electric solenoids but I never hooked them up I like the door handles. The electric windows work fine but I only have them on the drivers side not the passenger. Both door glass have some cracking I was going to replace them but decided to keep them because they ad to the look of the truck. The body was striped and left outside to rust! yes it needed that rusty patina that it now has. The body is very solid but not rust free you can see where there are some patches here and there. The body is not clear coated yet, that was my next thing to do but I have been driving the truck everywhere and enjoying it and have been working on other projects so I never got around to it. The front end is tilt and you open it by pulling on the grenade on the front of the hood. Don't worry guys it's not live! The body is steel but the fenders and running boards are fiberglass. There are just painted to look like rust. The front end has Zeus fasteners that hold it down. The running boards are reinforced so you can steep on them. It has a custom built tailgate that functions fine and the bed has pressure treated wood. The wheels are from a late model trans-am with nice tires it sits right and they do not scrape. The gas tank has a submersible high pressure fuel pump because the truck had a tune port injection when I got it. It never worked right so I converted it to carburation and I have had no problems with it. The truck is very reliable and drives like a dream you can let go of the wheel and she goes strait down the road, there is no play at all in the steering and it handles like a spots car. I really don't want to sell her but I have to many projects going and I've tried to sell some of my other cars first but there's no money out there so maybe someone will like my truck as much as I do and see the value. You could not build the truck for what I'm asking. I'm open to realistic offers but won't give it away. There is a ton of time and money invested and she still looks like a rusty old truck! I love it!!

MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper
Sat, Jun 6 2015MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.
Barracuda's Dodge branding no biggie, but what about engines?
Thu, Aug 27 2015Rumors about a revival of the Barracuda nameplate have been circulating for years now, though which brand it might fall under has been a bit of a mystery. Initial speculation had the car labeled an SRT product, but that acronym has since returned to its former role as a sub-brand for top-performance Mopars. Thanks to leaks from a recent FCA dealership event, we know the Barracuda is back on the table but will be sold under the Dodge umbrella, a move that has been generating a bit of ire from Pentastar fanatics, as the car was originally part of the defunct Plymouth brand. Given what's known about the new model, however, the badge is the least of my concerns about the new car. Let's start with the re-branding itself. This isn't the first time Chrysler has shuffled models around to different brands. The current-generation Viper spent two years as the flagship model under the SRT banner, only to return to Dodge for 2015 when SRT resumed its former role as a sub-brand. Years ago, the Neon was sold as a Plymouth, a Dodge, and a Chrysler model, depending on where you shopped for one. When Plymouth ceased to exist, the last few years of Prowler production got Chrysler badges instead. Then there's the new Jeep Renegade, a model whose name was born out of a trim level. The Barracuda might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. Further examples of naming liberties taken throughout automotive history could fill a book, but suffice it to say that these days a model's name has very little to do with the vehicle itself or any legacy it might have. The Barracuda name might be a particularly sacred cow with enthusiasts, but to me, a much bigger concern is the fact that the car might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. News from the Fiat Chrysler dealer briefing earlier this week indicates that when the next Charger debuts it will share its platform with the Barracuda, much the way the Charger and Challenger are twinned now. One difference is that the Barracuda is tipped to be offered as a convertible, while the modern Challenger is tintop-only. The Charger and Barracuda will use the rear-drive platform developed for Alfa Romeo's new Giulia, itself designed as a BMW M3 fighter both from a dimensional and dynamic standpoint; the Barracuda is expected to be slightly smaller than the current Challenger.
2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
