1953 Dodge B-4JMA-161. RARE!! The creme-de-la-creme of 1953 Dodge Trucks with every factory option and massive style! The Dodge COE is the undisputed king of the road with many cool factory mods such as a 12" body lift and one-piece hood that is over 20" shorter than a standard hood. This long-wheelbase model is PERFECT for a factory-original roll-back car hauler. For those who don't speak Dodge, the B-4 is the last year of the B series (1953). "J" is the heaviest-duty COE rated at 2-1/2 tons. With the optional heavy springs and frame plates, this truck is the strongest available. "M" means COE cab with commanding view. "A" means optional 2-Speed rear axle. "161" is the wheelbase. This truck has a 17,250 lb GVWR and can be driven with a regular drivers license. - Original 265 Industrial Chrysler Flathead starts and runs. I put in a modern remote oil filter (factory remote filter housing comes with truck). - Deluxe 5-Window COE Cab - 5-Speed Synchromesh Transmission - 2-Speed Vacuum-Shift Rear Axle - Huge Factory Power Bakes - Heavy Duty Optional Front Axle (5000 lbs) - Heavy-Duty Optional Springs (fronts are 2200 lbs each, rears are a conservative 7500 lbs each) - Heavy-Duty Factory Frame Reinforcement Plates - Fulton Aluminum Sun Shield Visor - Current Montana Title in my name! This amazingly rare truck is a piece of metal art. Ready for finish body work and paint or clear-coat and keep the bare metal hot-rod look. Truck runs and drives but needs rear brake line. Driveshaft hand-brake works excellent. PLEASE SEE PICTURES for condition. This truck is 61 years old and has the scars to prove it. There are dents and dings and even a few rust spots. Overall the metal is very rust free with the exception of a few isolated areas (rear cab line, spot on hood, and curved lower sill). The fenders, floors, doors, and door jambs, cab mounts, etc. everything else is very solid. Wiring needs some updating. Seat is not original. Rear tires are 9.00x20 military tires with good tread. The fronts are 9.00x20 with some age checking, but hold air fine. It comes with some spare parts not shown like the front "DODGE" chrome, and the front marker lights (one lens missing). Also included are the factory "Mopar" big-daddy truck mirrors. The lower skirting is missing. I have another truck with the skirting. It is mostly flat metal and would be easy to fabricate. I can provide detailed pics if you want to re-create the factory skirts. I broke my back and can no longer get up into this truck (it is REALLY tall!), so I must pass it along to a good home. The original 1953 brochure with all the detailed specs can be seen at: http://dodge-semis.com/Brochures/1950s/1953FGHJK/ For those interested in such things, there is some speculation that the KMA model listed in the brochure (19,000 GVWR) did not actually exist except as a fully-optioned JMA. This is that model. If you look at the conventional cabs, the "K" had the dual carbs and dual exhaust for an extra 15 hp. However, the COE's use an updraft carburetor. It is highly unlikely they produced a dual updraft COE due to space constraints. Thus the speculation that the KMA lives only in the brochure. If you have or know of a KMA truck in existence, please correct me. Truck is sold as-is with no warranty. This is a real auction and the winning bidder owns the truck. Purchaser is responsible for shipping. Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due within 7 days. No payment plans. Truck ships from Stevensville, MT, 59870. Please let me know if you have any questions. Marcus at 406-360-8628 Thanks for checking out this neat old truck!

2015 Dodge Challenger crash test results slip from last year's model
Mon, Dec 22 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released the results of its latest round of crash testing, announcing that the 2015 Dodge Challenger has netted a five-star overall crash rating. Of course, Chrysler won't want us to tell you this, but that NHTSA overall rating is not the whole story here. As The Car Connection so astutely points out, five-star rating aside, the refreshed 2015 Challenger actually performed worse than when it was tested back in 2013. The V6-powered SXT model tested by NHTSA in this latest round of testing was only able to record a four-star rating in its frontal crash test, while it nailed a five-star rating in the side-impact test. The 2013 Challenger managed a five-star rating in the frontal test. Of course, while this rating is a sign of overall good news for Challenger fans, the car, as TCC argues, has yet to be tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It'll be interesting to see if these NHTSA ratings translate to an IIHS Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus. Scroll down for the full press release from FCA. All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger Earns Five-Star Overall Safety Rating From U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2015 Dodge Challenger coupe earns five stars overall, the highest possible score in NHTSA's safety rating program More than 70 safety and security features, including new for 2015 class-exclusive Forward Collision Warning, adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger starts at $26,995 (excluding tax, destination and title) December 18, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Five stars is the highest possible safety rating given by NHTSA. "The new Dodge Challenger coupe further demonstrates our commitment to broaden the proliferation of advanced safety technologies, such as driver-assist features," says Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President-Vehicle Safety and Regulatory, FCA-North America. In its assessment of the new Challenger, NHTSA notes the availability of Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which features forward-facing sensors programmed to detect the potential for certain types of frontal collisions. If detected, the driver is alerted with visual and audible warnings. The 2015 Dodge Challenger is the only car in its segment with such capability.
Jay Leno gets his denim mitts on Dodge's new Challenger Hellcat
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is definitely the performance car of the moment. The fact that in the near future, people will be able to buy a 707-horsepower muscle machine straight from a major automaker for $59,995 and with a factory warranty almost seems absurd. We drove it recently and found the Hellcat to be just as much of a beast as its numbers would suggest. Now, it's a certain comedian's turn behind the wheel in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
This week's guest is Dodge President and CEO Tim Kuniskis, and he's there to drop all sorts of interesting factoids about the Hellcat. For example, its Pirelli P Zero tires retail at around $300 each, he says. That makes its smoky burnouts a rather expensive proposition. Kuniskis, who recently hinted at a mystery Woodward Dream Cruise debut, also talks about the genesis of the 2015 SRT project with a goal to get over some of the standard Challenger's weight and size disadvantages. The fix is a supercharged V8, massive brakes and other goodies to smooth over the platform's more glaring shortcomings.
Leno appears to get a big kick out of the Hellcat. However, he can't seem to stop bringing up his desire to drive one with a six-speed manual. They obviously exist, but Kuniskis has an eight-speed automatic for the retired Tonight Show host to try out. Of course, as with any Hellcat video, there has to be at least one burnout. Despite the expensive tires, it seems like enthusiast's law at this point - and dear ol' Jay wouldn't want to break any rules, would he?
