39,134 miles on the engine.

400 Magnum Big Block V8 High Performance Engine (Runs on Premium Fuel).

4 Barrel Edelbrock Carburetor

Dual exhaust from headers into red cherry pickers.

Rebuilt 727 3-Speed Automatic Transmission (rebuilt July 2013 by Moses Lake Transmission in Moses Lake, WA).

4 point harness black leather bucket seats with fold down center console and under seat storage.

CD Player/Am-FM Radio/MP3 Aux with amplified and high performance speakers.

Tow Hitch with 7-Way Plug (Wiring goes to under the dash, but needs a brake control unit).

Only 39,200 miles on the engine.

Kill Switch for the ignition system is set up and ready, but it is not hooked up. I currently have the MSD ignition system hooked directly to the battery.

This truck is awesome and runs like a dream, but here's a few minor things your should know about going into the bid.

The body of the truck is good, but it is not perfect. Take a look at the passenger side image you can see some minor dents along the door and truck bed. The back bumper is fiberglass and has 2 small cracks on it. The cap and tailgate have some holes and dents where a canopy was secured (see rear truck image).

There is a new float in the gas tank, but the new float is an old design that does not synchronize with the new MSD laser gauge. You will need to purchase another float to sync this up.

The gas tank is behind the seat. I am pretty sure it is 22 gallons. I got 15-18 MPG going 50-60 miles per hour on a recent trip of 2,800 miles from central WA, to southern CA, to San Antonio TX.

Going over the Cascade mountain passes (and all other driving) the truck never went over 2,000 RPM.

The drivers side seat has a worn patch on the leather.


This is a great truck and has plenty of power.

I have a reserve set on this truck. I hate going into a bidding scenario and not knowing what the reserve is, so I will tell you up front, my reserve is set at $10,000. I have well over $10,000 worth of parts in this truck, not including my blood, sweat, and tears and I wouldn't be selling this if my current situation didn't demand it.

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari plans to gradually increase production by 2019

Sat, Oct 17 2015

Ferrari has long been known for the exclusivity of its performance machines. It's on a different level than Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes. But as it transitions to a new era of independence from Fiat Chrysler, Ferrari is going to get a little less exclusive. It's by design, and it means a subtle, slow ramp-up of production – a move Ferrari believes will ensure its future by meeting growing demand in new markets. The strategy was detailed in SEC documents filed this month as part of the company's pending stock offering. The files reveal Ferrari will gradually increase shipments to about 9,000 units per year by 2019. This is a reversal of Ferrari's 2013 plans to cap production at 7,000 cars annually, which it hit on the nose that year. Ferrari shipments inched up to 7,255 in 2014, though that's down from 2012's record tally of 7,405. Ferrari is a vastly different operation than it was in 2013. Longtime chairman Luca di Montezemolo stepped down last fall, and FCA chief executive Sergio Marchionne has been overseeing the company since then. Its IPO has attracted high levels of attention from enthusiasts and investors. As expected, demand has reportedly outstripped the availability of the stock, which has an estimated offering price of $48 to $52 a share. Speaking of more Ferraris, the company revealed a limited-edition model this week called the F12tdf (shown above). Based on the F12 Berlinetta, the car is a salute to the Tour de France endurance auto race that Ferrari dominated in the 1950s and '60s. The V12 engine's output increases to 769 horsepower, while weight is cut by 243 pounds – allowing for a sprint to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. Dramatic carbon-fiber elements and a radical redesign of the body panels give the F12 a more dramatic look. It will be limited to 799 units over the life of the car. If this is how Ferrari is increasing production, we're more than okay with the company's new strategy. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Tesla software unlocks Autopilot features Tesla released the latest version of its software for the Model S this week, which allows the all-electric sedan to drive in a semi-autonomous state called Autopilot. Tesla Version 7.0 enables the Model S to maintain lane position, change lanes by touching the turn signal, and manage the car's speed using an advanced, traffic-sensing cruise control. It also has a parallel parking feature, which searches for open spots and then parks your Tesla.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.
