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.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Chrysler Recalling Nearly 907,000 Cars, SUVs

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars are being recalled for alternators that can fail and heated power mirror wiring that can short and cause minor fires. The recalls, posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators, push the total number of recalls so far this year 544, totaling a record of more than 52 million vehicles. The largest of Thursday's recalls covers nearly 470,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Chrysler 300s, and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Durangos from the 2011 through 2014 model years. The alternators can fail, causing the 3.6-liter V6 engines to stall unexpectedly. The problem also can cause the electrical system to fail, as well as knock out power-assisted steering, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. It can even cause fire or smoke, according to documents Chrysler filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA opened an investigation into the problem in July, and Chrysler began its own probe in August. The company analyzed warranty complaints and alternators that had failed. The alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. Chrysler investigators traced the problem to heat fatigue in an alternator diode. Chrysler said it received 322 complaints about the problem, while 55 people complained to NHTSA. The company said it knows of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries or fires. The company will replace the alternators with upgraded versions for free. Owners will be notified in November. The company says customers who see warning lights or suspect a problem should contact their dealers. The recall affects cars and SUVs sold mainly in the U.S. and Canada, but some were sold in Mexico and overseas markets. The second recall covers almost 437,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2011 through 2013. Water can find its way into the heated power mirror wiring harness and cause corrosion. That can cause a short and could cause a minor fire and smoke, as well as cause loss of function of the mirror. The problem was discovered in February after three Wranglers in Canada were damaged. Chrysler says it has 26 complaints about the problem, but it knows of no fires, crashes or injuries. Dealers will move the wiring and install a protective shield to keep water out at no cost to owners, starting in December. Most of the Wranglers are in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but more than 78,000 were sold overseas.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
