Due to a current hardship, I have decided that I need to sell my truck. This sweptline Dodge has been my favorite truck I have owned. It is much more rare than all of the Chevy and Ford trucks you see from the same year, and the look of the Dodge sweptline is so unique.  
It comes with a STRONG running 318 engine. It is not the original engine, but it is a beast.

The transmission was swapped far before I bought this truck, and it was changed from a 3 on the tree, to an automatic. When I bought the truck, it had a 904 transmission in it. I thought the transmission felt weak, so I bought a more stout 727 transmission for the truck. I have the 727 installed, but it needs the shift linkage and kickdown linkage installed. The transmission crossmember needs to be drilled to bolt the 727 transmission to it. Finally, the driveshaft needs to be shortened. I have 2 driveshafts that I will include with the truck. I have called a local driveshaft shop, and they quoted me $40 to shorten the driveshaft.

Overall, the body is in good condition. There is some rust in the floorboard areas that was patched with fiberglass before I bought the truck. There also is a small amount of rust at the very bottom of the doors and a small amount under the front lip of the hood and some in the bed. The fenders and rear quarter panels are good, the cab looks good, and the frame looks good.

I believe all lights are working on the truck except one of the lowbeams on the driver headlight.

I have 2 gauge clusters that will be included with the truck. I have noticed that the fuel gauge and battery voltage gauge either function intermittently or don't work. I have not tried to look into it yet, and I believe it is possible that the problem could just be wiring. I don't know the functionality of the other gauge cluster, but it looks good.

The paint looks great in the pictures, but it does have some sags and runs that need to be addressed.

Overall, this is a very unique, awesome truck that you just don't see around everyday. It has potential to either be restored, turned into a rat rod, or driven in its current condition (with final transmission hookups made.) I really hate to see it go. My wife and little girl even like it, but financially it would be a bad decision to keep it right now. I hope to see it go to someone who can drive and appreciate it. So, win the bid,  bring your trailer, and haul home a fantastic piece of history.

Star Wars Episode VII ad is a force for Dodge

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Happy Star Wars day! Some of you might be bleary eyed and begging for coffee after attending midnight screenings of Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens last night (*raises hand*) but the show must go on. And for Dodge, that show has been all about Star Wars. While the entirety of FCA joined the tie-in marketing campaign for the long-awaited JJ Abrams blockbuster, Dodge made out the best. According to Wards Auto, the brand's The Force Gathers spot took the top spot in this week's most engaging automotive ads, capturing nearly a quarter of share-of-voice ratings and garnering over a quarter-of-a-million earned online views. Since the ad began airing earlier this month, it's scored over 430,000 views on YouTube alone. The relatively simple ad evokes Darth Vader and his legions of storm troopers. In the 30-second spot, a black Viper leads six long columns of white Chargers, Challengers, and Durangos while John Williams' iconic Imperial March blares in the background. It ends at the stand of an overwhelmed pair of valets outside a screening for Episode VII. We've embedded the spot at the top of the page if you haven't seen it. Check it out, and may the Force be with you. Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens is in theaters today. Related Video:

Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average

Wed, Oct 15 2014

What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen. That means Fiat Chrysler will likely to continue to languish at the bottom of the heap when it comes to fleetwide fuel economy among the largest automakers serving the US, especially as the automaker starts to sell its Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A few hundred Fiat 500E electric vehicles aren't going to turn the trend around. See, Chrysler has once again finished at the bottom of the list when it came to fleetwide fuel economy among automakers for 2014 model-year vehicles, according to a preliminary study by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Chrysler and Fiat had an average of 21.1 miles per gallon. That substantially lagged the overall 24.2 mpg average, but it was an increase from the company's 20.9 mpg average last year and the 20.1 mpg average two years prior. For 2014, General Motors had the second-worst fleetwide fuel economy at an even 22 mpg. Fiat Chrysler does say it's working on improving its fuel economy, according to Automotive News. The company plans on making its inline-four-cylinder and V6 engines smaller, and will sell more vehicles with eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Heck, there's even a plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan in the works for late 2015, and the company can tout fuel-efficiency gains with the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee. We would be remiss if we didn't note that, compared to its muscle-car forefathers, the Hellcat actually performs pretty well at the pump. Last month, word got out that the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, equipped either with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, got a combined fuel economy of 16 mpg. Heck, the automatic-tranny version got 22 mpg on the highway. And that's for a car with 707 horsepower and a 10-second quarter-mile time. Still, with the pedal floored, the car can burn a gallon and a half of fuel per minute. Ouch.

Dodge Durango gets the Blacktop treatment

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The Dodge Durango is getting a meaner, more aggressive look as it becomes the latest model from the brand to wear the Blacktop Appearance Package. The upgrades are strictly cosmetic, but they lend the SUV a more assertive demeanor that some buyers like.
Available on the SXT, Limited and R/T (shown above) models, all Blacktop Durangos get black 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bod- color fascia and gloss black trim. The grille surround, air dam, mirrors and headlight surrounds all get the inky treatment, as well. The improvements add $1,590 to the cost of the SXT. They come to $1,990 on the Limited but also include HID headlights with LED running lights and a leather interior. Finally, R/T buyers only need to pay $295 for the upgrades. The Blacktop Durango hits showrooms this October.
If you're already in the market for a Durango but want a dash more style with no added performance, the Blacktop might not be a bad way to go. It certainly gives the SUV a bit more edge than it has in stock form. Scroll down to read the full release.
