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.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

7 major automakers to build open EV charging network

Wed, Jul 26 2023

A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not.  "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche.  In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure.  "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.
