All factory correct , this was originally an Arizona truck, so had no rust to begin with.
I had intended to customize the interior but have not been able to finish due to family illness.
ALL 5 ORIGINAL SLOTTED WHEELS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE TRUCK !
Also have a NOS dash bezel that will go with it, a speedometer, and ignition assembly.
I also have a lot of the original documents from 1979 original purchase; ie~ build sheet, title, etc.
Have all receipts from the restoration; engine built out with all Mancini racing parts
Great daily driver ~ THIS IS A REAL LIL RED, NOT A CLONE !!!!!

It will need a new heater/ac switch and bezel. AC is new but has a slow leak somewhere that will need soldered.
Also needs a nice new tuff wheel ! Bed wood is weathered due to Florida sun but was brand new when rebuilt, and would not take much to put a fresh
coat of stain/ spar to bring it back to life..
This has been my daily driver and has been totally faithful !
Very nice, and screaming fast !

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
