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.

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.

FCA recalls 1.1 million vehicles worldwide due to confusing shifter

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.1 million vehicles worldwide to address the problematic shifter used on cars with eight-speed automatic transmissions. The issue is that the console-mounted shifter acts like a rocker switch and always returns to the middle position after moved. This has been deemed confusing to drivers – confusing enough to cause some to exit their vehicles without first selecting Park and leading to the car rolling away. FCA says 41 injuries are related to the shifter problem, and no evidence of equipment failure has been found. The company will enhance warning chimes and alter the shift strategy, meaning alert messages will be displayed in case the driver door is opened while the engine is running. With the door open, the transmission will prevent the car from moving even if Park is not selected. The affected vehicles are certain model-year 2012–2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, as well as model-year 2014–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, an estimated 811,586 US vehicles in total. The recall also affects 52,144 vehicles in Canada, 16,805 in Mexico, and 248,667 vehicles elsewhere. The shifter is used with ZF-designed and ZF-built eight-speed automatic; Audi uses a similar shifter setup in some of its vehicles, including the current-generation, which predated Chrysler's use of it. Chrysler uses a different, a rotating-dial-type shifter on eight-speed-equipped Rams. The company moved away from the problem shifter design in 2015 for the Charger and 300, and the Grand Cherokee's shift lever was modified for 2016. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall when service is available. Fiat Chrysler urges customers to follow the instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual in the meantime.

Jay Leno drives a 1970 Dodge Charger with 1,650 horsepower

Tue, Feb 23 2016

When Jay Leno says a vehicle might have too much horsepower, he's got our attention piqued. That's exactly what he thinks about the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum from Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance. While it still looks like a classic muscle car, the front end now features a carbon fiber hood and fenders. Underneath the lightweight parts, there's a twin-turbo, 9.0-liter Mercury Marine offshore boat racing engine with an astonishing 1,650 horsepower, or an only slightly less asinine 1,350 hp on pump gas. Jay is very mechanically intrigued by the Charger at the beginning of this video, and puts it on the lift to take a look at the underside. The engine plumbing is a thing of beauty, and the mill packs a massive radiator and intercooler to keep things running cool. Leno's drive in the Tantrum is especially interesting. The beastly engine is difficult to control, and anything above half throttle in most gears can spin the rear tires. The significant turbo lag also makes the power unpredictable. When Jay finally finds a straight piece of road, he puts the hammer down and rockets into the distance. And, of course, you know Jay's not going to end the video without some suitably smoking tires.
