1954 Dodge Pick Up Truck.
Engine: 6 Cylinder flat head with 103,500 miles that are believed to be original. The engine was over hauled about 20k miles ago. Vehicle still has floor pedal starter. Pretty much everything is still original. Engine runs excellent, does not burn any oil. It does have a mild leak but I am not certain exactly where it is coming from, not a significant leak. Transmission: 3 Speed Manual transmission on the column. The linkage on the transmission needs attention. It has had issues with difficulty shifting into various gears that are not issues with the transmission or clutch. It is an issue with the linkage adjustment only. After discussing this with a transmission shop I am told this is a common problem with the cars that have three on the column manual transmissions. Apparently the linkage has a very specific adjustment pattern that if it is not adjusted properly has difficulty going in to gear. This is an easy fix and may be fixed this week, however I can not guarantee that so assume it still needs to be addressed. Interior: The dashboard has no dents or tears in it. The seats have been recovered recently. The door panels are relatively new, however they do not look to be the best quality door covering. The head liner is relatively new and everything else looks relatively new as well. Please see the photos for details. Exterior: Please look at the photos for details. I am not familiar with the history of the paint job. It looks to me like the original paint that was possibly painted over with the same color in an attempt to freshen up the paint without doing a complete re-paint. You be the judge because I can not tell. The paint looks to be in pretty decent shape, but by no means is it show ready. It would benefit from being buffed out, again please look closely at the photos as they will be the best indication of the condition of the paint job. There is no issues with rust. Look closely at the photos, there are a few areas where some surface rust may be starting, but there are no rust holes anywhere. This is a very solid truck. Brakes: The brakes need to be bled, I may have this done before the purchase is complete. Overall this is an excellent daily driver that needs very little to move into a show vehicle. Again please let the pictures be a guide as to the condition of the vehicle. The truck is all original and runs great. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. I hate to have to add this but due to others I must. You are not bidding to come and look at the vehicle, you are bidding to own. All bids are binding and must be honored. The vehicle can not be released until funds are cleared. |

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
