Up for auction is my 1959 Dodge D300 9' long bed pickup truck. It's a great truck that will work hard. The engine always starts reliably and sounds like music. It really does purr and it's great to start it up and surprise people with the sound. The truck has all of its original details including the horse hair bench seat, cardboard headliner, rubber floor mat, bake light knobs, chrome trims etc. It has a four speed manual transmission with the floor shifter which is great. It has the "granny gear" for really heavy loads or pulling out tree stumps. It is fantastic for scoops of gravel or sand and concrete. It can easily take on 2,200 lbs of cargo. It always turns heads at Home Depot etc. It is really fun to drive with the rare two wrap around windows that make it feel you are in an observation tower. It has no blind spot! The small window vents are great for ventilation.

I purchased the truck from a family member in 1993 and I am the second owner. The first owner was a furniture maker and used the truck only to pick up materials and to deliver his work. It had 37,000 miles on it when I bought it.

All of the systems work properly except for the parking brake. It needs to be adjusted around the drive shaft. This explains the squished drivers side door. I lent the truck to a friend and it rolled back and was stopped by the open door. I spotted the exact door on Ebay two weeks ago for $200. I also installed an electric fuel pump on a trip because I didn't have time to wait for a replacement mechanical one.

The tires are 18" Bias Ply for really good strength but radials are now available if the new owner chooses. he I would keep the truck but I need a tow vehicle for my camper and this truck is not suited for long cross country towing.

Also for sale locally.Good luck and thanks for looking.

MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper

Sat, Jun 6 2015

MotorWeek 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.

FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report

Mon, Jul 25 2016

Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.

Police officer fired for sexually harassing a young woman

Wed, Aug 24 2016

A police officer in Jackson, Mississippi was fired after a video surfaced on Tuesday of him sexually harassing a young woman from his patrol car. According to WAPT, Officer Darryl Stasher of the Jackson Mississippi Police Department rolled up to two young women walking down the street and began talking to them through the driver's side window of his patrol car. During his discourse, his language because coarser and more suggestive. He gave one young woman his number and told her that he was "going to take care of her" and that he wanted to "do more than talk". He also suggested that the two should "get a room" together. The whole exchange was caught on video, and soon after the incident the young woman uploaded the footage to Facebook where it quickly went viral. It didn't take long for the Jackson Police Department to get wind of the video. "The Jackson Police Department does have possession of the video that was posted to Facebook by the young lady," said JPD Commander Tyree Jones. "Chief (Lee) Vance found the video to be very disturbing. He is very disappointed due to the content that's in the video." Upon learning of the video, JPD put Officer Stasher on desk duty pending the results of an internal affairs investigation. Stasher, who worked for at least eight years for JPD in the second precinct, was fired soon after the investigation finished. Related Video:
