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.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T

Sun, Sep 18 2022

Chrysler's relationship with Mitsubishi goes back to the early 1970s, when the first Mitsubishi Colt Galants arrived from Japan with Dodge Colt badging. Plenty of Mitsubishi-built Arrows and Ram 50s and Challengers followed, and the joint Chrysler-Mitsubishi plant in Illinois began building cars in 1988. By the 1990s, you could find Mitsubishi DNA throughout the American Chrysler family, and the Mitsubishi GTO was brought over to become the Dodge Stealth starting in 1991. Here's one of those first-year Stealths, now residing in a Colorado self-service boneyard. Four grades of Stealth were available here in 1991, with the R/T Turbo AWD at the very pinnacle. This car, a regular R/T, is one step down from that model but still a pretty quick machine for its time. MSRP was $25,155, or about $55,370 in 2022 dollars. The R/T got this naturally-aspirated DOHC 6G72 engine, displacing 3.0 liters and making 222 horsepower. If you got the turbocharged version in the R/T Turbo AWD (or the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4), power went up to 300 horses. The 3000GT (as the GTO was known here) was mechanically identical to this car but had slightly different styling. The GTO/3000GT/Stealth replaced the Mitsubishi Starion and its Chrysler/Dodge Conquest siblings, which were sold here from the 1983 through 1989 model years. The Starion was a rear-wheel-drive machine that competed for sales against the Toyota Supra and Nissan Z, while the Mitsubishi GTO was available with either front- or all-wheel-drive. As illustrated by this photo of the rear suspension, this car is a front-wheel-drive version. Americans loved automatic transmissions 30 years ago, nearly as much as we love them today, but this car has a proper five-on-the-floor manual. If you wanted the optional four-speed automatic, it cost 813 bucks ($1,790 today). The Stealth R/T AWD had a mandatory five-speed manual transmission. This car has been hit hard by junkyard shoppers and the ravages of time, but it was fairly luxurious when new. Air conditioning was standard equipment on the R/T, though not on the lesser Stealths. This car came close to 150,000 total miles, but fell a bit short of that milestone. The final year for the Dodge Stealth was 1996, though the Mitsubishi 3000GT remained available here through 1999. The Mitsubishi GTO held on through 2000 in its homeland. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Outhandles the Lotus Esprit!

This incredibly '90s Dodge Ram video shows roots of the luxury pickup truck

Sat, Oct 3 2020

To paraphrase the Talking Heads, you may find yourself behind the wheel of a Ram 1500 Limited with a 12-inch touchscreen and sumptuous leather, and you may ask yourself, "How did we get here?" Well, some of that credit goes to that loaded Ram's predecessor, the second-generation Dodge Ram. As you'll see in this fascinating promotional video for the truck uploaded by YouTube Channel TheClassicSports, it seems to highlight all the things that make up the modern pickup truck, albeit in a slightly more modest form. Right off the bat, the video starts talking about how the new Ram isn't your traditional pickup. It has features like anti-lock brakes, a spacious, comfortable cabin and standard driver-side airbag. Later, it notes the extensive sound insulation, as well as the cupholders and a giant center console to set up your mobile office, with space for a cell phone and laptop.  But it's not just a comfortable truck. It's a powerful, practical and intimidating one. This Ram is frequently credited as the truck that changed pickup design, moving from simple rectangular boxes to ones with style, particularly semi-truck style. In the video, the host notes that regardless of what people think, "They all call it 'big'." And of course, there's the all-important utility aspect. Highlights include various interior storage bins, slots in the bed to create divided sections, and the critical towing and payload capacities; best-in-class of course. Don't forget the wide array of engines, too, from the base V6 to the unique at the time gas V10 engine. This isn't to say that competitors from Chevy and Ford weren't changing to this more stylish, more well-appointed truck philosophy, either. The mid-'90s Silverado was quite modern, too, with its sleek, if still boxy shape. And the late-'90s F-150 ushered in a sleek, curvy design that has yet to return to the full-size market. But the second-generation Ram really encompasses everything about how the truck market was about to change for the next few decades. Related Video:
