This is an original 1977 D100 shortbed 2wd 1/2 ton with a factory 440 4bbl.

 The original colors are Metallic Black

with a Cashmere Tan center band. The truck runs and yard drives but needs total

restoration. It is sold AS IS and must be picked up in Minden Nevada 89423.

Please ask questions before bidding. I have additional pictures if you send your email.

The title is from the previous owner and is signed off. This is fine for most states

but will not work for Canada and other countries. Please check your local

requirements for transfer, smog requirements, and anything else that might 

be relevant. 


There were several magazine articles done in 77 about a 440 shorty

that was in the reverse colors. The reviews were generally that it reminded

the testers of the early Chargers when they still had some "Charge". One driver

reported burying the speedo on a long straight stretch. Check out a copy

of Pickup Van and 4wd March 1977. They seemed to have a pretty good time with 

that truck.





According to the numbers guru and his lil white book, in 1978 the production

for 1/2 ton 2wd with a 440 motor was only 74 units.

There is no known production figure for 77 440s.

If anybody has the info, please send me an email.


More 78s have surfaced than 77s. This is a 1977.

It has it's original door vin tag, and a clear California title

from the previous owner. It was parked for a long time.

The original primary color is Sunfire Metallic Black with

a Cashmere Tan center band. Most of the paint is original,

with what looks like some spot painted areas of the tan.

The interior is Adventurer level trim in Saddle. It has Air Conditioning,

Aux fuel tank, Cargo light, Volt Vac gauges and the previous owner was

sure the Chrysler road wheels were original. They were optional.


CONDITION,

Total miles unknown, it shows 40,000 maybe 140K? or?

It runs and drives but needs complete restoration. It has leaking

headers and exhaust, The engine starts and runs out well and has oil pressure

(40 at hot idle) but may have an intake leak, and other problems causing

a rough uneven idle. The tranny shifts and the brakes work.

Not working: Tail lights, gauges, speedo, windows, AC, wipers,

It is missing: Some of the AC components, evap etc. Most of the smog

parts, does not have the original Carb. The tires are junk. It is missing the frame

gas tank and has only the cab tank which it runs off. It is also missing

whatever else is not shown in the pictures.The windshield is cracked.

The interior has overall wear and tear and requires restoration.

The carpet was removed (and thrown away) to inspect the floors. 

The body and frame: the floor pans have some heavy scale rust

as does the floor of the bed, but it all seems solid. The only rust thru

that I found was in the radiator core support

below the battery from the acid. Though the body has some small

dents including the rockers, and the front fenders, it is overall

a very straight original truck from a dry climate. The hood has some small

holes drilled on the sides of the banks, probably 440 emblems.

The bed had a vinyl cover and still has the snaps (unfortunately)

The frame has minor surface rust and was notched (cut) in several spots

on the driver's side for header clearance. The roof has an after market skylight.

The rear end is a corporate 9.25.

The front has a factory sway bar. It rides very stiff.

I have only driven it around the block and it is amazingly quick.

The truck is sold AS IS must be paid for in full within 3 days of auction

close, and must be picked up in Minden Nevada 89423 within 30 days.

It should be trailered.

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon First Drive | Don’t fear the Demon

Wed, Jul 19 2017

"If you're not hurt, we'll be really pissed. If you are hurt, we'll still be pissed, but not quite as pissed." These are the words from Jim Wilder, the vehicle development manager of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, that echo through our head as we slide behind the wheel of the car for the first time. He was warning us about driving beyond our abilities, and keeping the car out of the wall. With 840 horsepower and 770 pound-feet of torque on tap from its supercharged, 6.7-liter V8, the Demon does 0-60 miles per hour in 2.3 seconds, and 0-30 mph in a second flat. If something does go wrong, it'll happen quickly. Following that talk, we had our guts sloshed as a passenger in a blurry eighth-mile run, giving us a taste of the G forces (the Demon can pull 1.8 G in a straight line) we'd feel when we got in the driver's seat for our own pass down the drag strip. We're already sweating. It had rained - you could describe it as torrential - the day before. The grassy parking areas surrounding Lucas Oil Raceway were still flooded, but any water on the pavement had evaporated and hung in the air. Combined with the heat, we were sticky and uncomfortable. In Drag Mode, the Dodge Demon's air conditioning turns off. Any condensation that it could leave on the track would be a problem, plus we need to reduce parasitic power losses for a faster run. The system is still working, though, the refrigerant diverted to the chiller system cooling the air coming into the engine. There's still condensation, but the Demon collects it on a catch pad to keep it from ending up on the pavement. We're also required to roll the windows up when entering the drag strip. For one thing, it helps keep the smoke out of the cabin during the pre-staging burnout. So, yeah, it's hot as Hell in the Demon. We pull through the water box and run through the sequence – which involves holding the "OK" button on the steering wheel usually used to navigate menus, and applying a specific amount of brake pressure before getting on the throttle to initiate the burnout. This gets any crud off the rear tires and heats up the rubber. There are multiple ways to launch the Demon. We had an instructor sitting in the passenger seat as we pulled up to the beams that trigger the Christmas tree at Lucas Oil Raceway. He walks us through the most complicated of the three he had explained to us just minutes before when we were in the passenger seat.

Stellantis is open to putting a gas engine in its EVs to meet demand

Thu, May 2 2024

With the EV segment caught in a tug-of-war between market demand and government regulations, carmakers are having to adapt to avoid losing both money and sales. Stellantis is keeping every option on the table, including putting a gasoline engine in its electric models. Natalie Knight, the chief financial officer for Stellantis, made the announcement while presenting the carmaker's first-quarter shipment and revenues results. She cited the Jeep Wagoneer S as an example: Unveiled in January 2024, it will go on sale with an electric powertrain, but the brand hasn't ruled out expanding the lineup with a gasoline-powered model later on, according to Wards Auto. It could be a hybrid, or it might not get any type of electrification. The call will depend on whether there is "a clear demand for that in the market," the executive said. Compare that with comments from new Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa, who has said hybridizing the Wagoneer S isn't in the cards — but making a PHEV version of the all-electric upcoming Recon, however, might be. "I don't want to ignore the fact that we want to stay close to the consumer, and if we see there's an opportunity with those models that we introduced as BEVs first, we'll look into that," Knight said. Stellantis plans to launch 25 new models globally in 2024, and 18 of those will go on sale with electric power. However, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll remain electric-only throughout their production run. The brands that live under the Stellantis umbrella can build a gasoline-powered version of an EV with relative ease because many of the cars in the group's portfolio ride on a multi-energy platform. For example, the new Dodge Charger (pictured) will go on sale with an electric drivetrain later in 2024, but the range will grow with the addition of a 3.0-liter straight-six in 2025. Across the pond, the Jeep Avenger (a small, hatchback-like crossover not designed with our market in mind) was hyped as an all-electric model when it made its debut in 2023, but it quietly gained a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain in early 2024. The city-friendly Peugeot 208 is offered with piston or battery power, too. One of the next electric recipients of a gasoline engine might be the new-to-us Fiat 500e. The retro-styled hatchback has exclusively been available as an EV since it went on sale in Europe in 2020, but executives are reportedly looking at turning it into a hybrid due to slow sales.

Cold start comparison: 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio vs. 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8

Thu, May 7 2020

The 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is a five-seat, compact luxury sport sedan packing 505 horsepower thanks to a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6. My personal 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is ... well ... not. It's a full-sized muscle coupe whose iron-block 6.4-liter V8 makes 470 hp in the very traditional way: it's freakin' huge, like everything else about the car.  On paper, these two have nothing in common beyond the fact that they were built by the same multi-national manufacturing entity.  But if paper were the be-all and end-all of automotive rankings, everybody would buy the same car. And we don't, especially as enthusiasts. Whether it's looks or tuning or vague "intangibles" or something as simple as the way a car sounds, we often put a priority on the things that trigger our emotions rather than setting out to simply buy whatever the "best" car is at that particular moment.  So, what do these two have in common? They both sound really, really good. Like looks, sounds are subjective. While a rubric most assuredly exists in the world of marketing (attraction is as much a science as any other human response), we have no way of objectively scoring the beauty of either of these cars, and the same applies to the qualities of the sound waves being emitted through their tail pipes.  But we can measure how loud they are. In fact, there's even an app for that. Dozens, as it turns out. So, I picked one at random that recorded peak loudness levels, and set off to conduct an entirely pointless and only vaguely scientific experiment with the two cars that happened to be in my garage at the same time.  For the test, I opened up a window and cracked the garage door (so as not to inflict carbon monoxide poisoning upon myself in the name of discovery), and then placed my phone on a tripod behind the center of each car's trunk lid. I fired each one up and let the app do the rest. I then placed my GoPro on top of the trunk for each test so that I could review the video afterward for any anomalies.  I started with the Challenger. The 6.4-liter Hemi under the hood of this big coupe is essentially the same lump found under the hood of quite a few Ram pickups, and it has the accessories to prove it. Its starter is loud and distinctive. Almost as loud, it turns out, as the exhaust itself. As its loud pew-pew faded behind the V8's barking cold start, we recorded a peak of 83.7 decibels. In the app's judgment, that's roughly the equivalent of a busy street.
