Up for bid is a really nice 1970 Dodge D400 Sweptline Truck with 82,800 original miles.  It is in very good condition with no rust holes or rot on the body or chassis.  The pictures speak for themselves and I think it actually looks better in person!  It started life as a Navy truck (hence the blue interior) and then put into service at a fire department as a stake bed.  Has been farmer owned ever since.  It was stored inside since new and was NEVER driven in the winter.  The body is very nice and doesn't have any dents or rust.  There are a few holes from old signage or accessories but most have been plugged.  The frame is still almost completely black.  The stake bed is approx. 14' long and all the wood is in excellent condition.  The interior is all there and complete.  The dash is in excellent condition and isn't all chewed up like most of these that you see with radio holes, etc.  The floors are rock solid and still have the original rubber floor mat.  The seat bottom and back are in perfect condition.  There is some minor cracking on the sidewall of the seat but nothing major.  All glass including the windshield is good.  This truck always starts right up and runs great!  The 225 Slant 6's are bulletproof motors and I am amazed how quiet and smooth this truck runs.  There are no major leaks, doesn't smoke, idles great, and the choke works.  All gauges work, all lights work, and all the interior decals are in good shape.  Like new Interstate Battery with a cut off switch installed in case you want to store it for a long time.  It has the NP435 4spd manual trans that shifts smoothly in every gear.  Clutch works well, brakes work but could maybe use a little adjusting.  18,500 GVWR so it will haul quite a large payload with the rear HYP01D axle.  I have owned several of these throughout the years and none have had a nicer cab, interior, or frame.  I bought this truck about 1 year ago for the cab and the interior to swap it onto a W600 project that I have.  I really hate to sell this thing but I've decided that this truck is just too nice and complete to cut apart.  I found another cab I can use on my project so it's time to pass this one along.  Clean and clear title and all VIN plates are intact on the truck.   This will sell with NO RESERVE to the high bidder so bid to win!  Any questions, don't hesitate to give me a call at 563-676-2032.  $100 paypal deposit due within 48 hours and full payment due in cash in person within 7 days unless other arrangements are made prior to the end of the listing.  If you need it delivered, I have a big trailer and could maybe help out with the delivery for a fee within 300 miles depending on where you are.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

8 things you learn while driving a cop car [w/videos]

Tue, Jan 27 2015

Let me start off with the obvious: it is absolutely illegal to impersonate a police officer. And now that that's out of the way, I'd just like to say that driving a cop car is really, really cool. Here's the background to this story: Dodge unveiled its redesigned 2015 Charger Pursuit police cruiser, and kindly allowed Autoblog to test it. That meant fellow senior editor Seyth Miersma and I would spend a week with the cop car, and the goal here was to see just how different the behind-the-wheel experience is, from a civilian's point of view. After all, it's not technically a police car – it isn't affiliated with any city, it doesn't say "police" anywhere on it, and it's been fitted with buzzkill-worthy "NOT IN SERVICE" magnets (easily removed for photos, of course). But that meant nothing. As Seyth and I found out after our week of testing, most people can't tell the difference, and the Charger Pursuit commands all the same reactions as any normal cop car would on the road. Here are a few things we noticed during our time as wannabe cops. 1. You Drive In A Bubble On The Highway Forget for a moment that our cruiser was liveried with Dodge markings instead of those of the highway patrol. Ignore the large "NOT IN SERVICE" signs adhered around the car. Something in the lizard brain of just about every licensed driver tells them to hold back when they see any hint of a cop car, or just the silhouette of a light bar on a marked sedan. Hence, when driving on the highway, and especially when one already has some distance from cars forward and aft, a sort of bubble of fear starts to open up around you. Cars just ahead seem very reluctant to pass one another or change lanes much, while those behind wait to move up on you until there's a full herd movement to do so. The effect isn't perfect – which is probably ascribable to the aforementioned giveaways that I'm not really a cop – but it did occur on several occasions during commutes from the office. 2. You Drive In A Pack In The City My commute home from the Autoblog office normally takes anywhere from 25 to 30 minutes, and it's a straight shot down Woodward Avenue from Detroit's north suburbs into the city, where I live. Traffic usually moves at a steady pace, the Michigan-spec "five-over" speed.
