Besides my forgetting to add some images to my last listing of this truck, I am relisting this item due to a non paying buyer. If you do not intend to consummate your purchase, please don't bid. I lost 5000 square feet of storage this fall so am thinning the herd. I bought this truck as a runner/shop truck about a year ago. It has a 1973 455 BUICK, a Turbo 400 AT, a 9" GM rear end, and a Pontiac Ventura sub-frame. It runs great, drives and stops straight and is a nice driving old truck. I've always liked this series of Dodge pickup, it is the first year after the weird flying saucer headlights and it has the faux hood louvers. The descriptive term "ratrod" is way over used today but if you were to look up the word, you would see a picture of this truck. The floors are rusty with the holes patched with license plates, the attachment of the steering column to the dash is crude, there is a Hurst Slap Stick shifter on the roof and of course you gotta love the gas tank in the pickup bed that is made from an old beer keg and attached with chains. This truck has personality with a great look in hotrod flat black and hand pin-stripping, smoothies, moon caps& whitewalls. The exhaust system's new, brakes work great, tires are at 50% +/- tread, and has had recent tune-up with hoses, belts, wires, plugs, oil change/filter, and fresh fluids. A word about the motor: The guy I bought it from indicated the engine had been gone thru. I do not have any supporting evidence but can say that it has great oil pressure, it doesn't smoke, and that it runs great. The only knock on runability is that it is cold blooded. I had my mechanic go thru the carb but it might needs some further tweaking. After it is warmed up a bit, it runs strong. There are a few smallish dings/dents, please note in particular the dish shaped dent at the rear of the driver’s side pickup box. The pickup bed is solid, the windshield is cracked, the horn needs to be connected, there is a new horn under the hood mounted on the driver side fender, and at this moment, the fan motor isn't working. The lights work and it has a decent stereo. The drag plate is not included. My truck is far from perfect but you could drive it anywhere reliably. Please ask questions if you are uncertain about anything. And I just wanted to add that I have a very nice 1968 Dodge half-ton that can be had for $1000.00. My intent was to switch out the bodies after doing a nice detail on this chassis...The truck is complete with a blown 383 and an AT. It is the upgraded Adventurer body in red with black top and it has the cool dash mounted shifter. Here is a link to an image of a truck like mine in almost the same condition: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=1968+dodge+adventurer&id=BA5F368630040AF094AD2835B0125D2AE0507FC3&FORM=IQFRBA#view=detail&id=BA5F368630040AF094AD2835B0125D2AE0507FC3&selectedIndex=0 If the new buyer of this listed truck as some interest in the parts truck, drop me a line and we can get you some images of the actual truck. I will not sell this truck away from eBay; it will be listed and sold/invoiced as an addition to this listing or as part of a separate listing altogether.

2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.
QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football
Fri, 16 May 2014The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
