83 Dodge Ram W250 4x4 W/29,800 Original Miles, 360 Engine And 4 Sp Low Gear Tran on 2040-cars
Millville, Pennsylvania, United States
ATTENTION MOPAR ENTHUSIASTS!!! If you are looking for a near one-of-a-kind, mostly original, southern-grown, mainly rust-free where it counts Dodge Power Ram W250, with unheard of ~29,850 original miles, then you have found just what you have been searching for. I am the second owner of this hard-to-find Ram which I purchased from a dealership in Bremen, GA in Aug of 2009 from a gentleman who traded it in on a new truck. That man was the "original owner" as he purchased it at government auction with ~14,000 miles on it. He owned it for several years where he restored the interior, replaced a whole host of mechanical parts such as the carb with a new Edelbrock, water pump, etc.(I have a more complete list just not on me presently) The truck has a rare combination of a 360 V8 engine, and one the most bulletproof 4 speed, low-geared transmissions ever made. The undercarriage of the truck is impeccable for the age, as top be expected from a truck which spent most of its life in the south. I have rarely taken it out in the snow and salt of the northeast as to preserve this untainted and solid truck. The previous owner repainted the truck and I would give it a grade of C, so a professional paint job would do this truck wonders. The interior was also replaced by the owner's wife who did in my opinion, a very nice job. She added some of her own touches with Power Ram stitching on the visors and 4WD shifter boot. The original radio had been replaced with a modern JVC w/CD. The truck has factory A/C which has never blown cold since I have owned it, and I have never cared enough to get it working again. The steering wheel has been replaced with a smaller racing style one, but I have the original. The wheels are not original and have been replaced with chrome 17" rims. Tires have ~3/32 of tread on them and will need to be replaced soon. The catalytic converter has long been gone from original owner and was not necessary for inspection in GA. In summary, this truck can be made into a real gem with minimal efforts as the core of the truck including body, frame, low miles, 4X4, engine and tranny, interior, all glass is perfect, and overall mechanical condition for the age is way above average. Some of the things which will need a little TLC include some exhaust hangers which recently broke and will need to be replaced, a tune-up may be in order replacing the plugs and wires, a professional paint job, and some of the rubber around the vents may need to be replaced as the driver side window and or vent whistles and leaks a bit. Some final thoughts to consider: I drove this truck home over 900 miles from Bremen, GA to NE PA when I purchased it, and had absolutely no issues. The engine runs great, transmission and four-wheel drive work perfect, brakes are to my knowledge acceptable, and the truck looses very little oil over an extended period time. I am selling this truck against my true wishes but unfortunately need the money more than the truck. Both myself and my young son enjoy this truck very much and my goal was to pass it onto him when he is older, but that is just not in the cards at this time. If you have any questions, feel free to call me on my cell at 570-954-0952 and my name is Steve. Bid with confidence and you will not be sorry should you win. Title in hand and available for show with appointment.

Explore Dom's 1970 'off-road' Dodge Charger from Furious 7
Fri, Apr 3 2015The Aficionauto, Christopher Rutkowski, already drove Dom's 1970 Dodge Charger from Fast & Furious and Fast Five. Now he's returning to the franchise for an interview with Dennis McCarthy, the vehicle coordinator on the last five Fast and Furious films, plus a close look at the custom off-road Charger that's one of the automotive stars in Furious 7. Given his resume, when McCarthy admits this is his new all-time favorite vehicle from the franchise, it really means something. Don't worry. McCarthy is careful not to spoil any of the film's action while he shows off the Charger and Shaw's fast attack vehicle that takes on the Dodge. McCarthy does reveal the one car that he still dreams to build for the series, and it's something that every fan should see. This looks like a fantastic blockbuster movie season for anyone that loves to watch cars crash and explode on the big screen. Furious 7 is in theaters right now, and based on the trailer, it promises the biggest stunts ever from the long-running franchise. And in just a few weeks, Mad Max: Fury Road hits cinemas to add a dystopian tinge to the automotive action.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack
Thu, 17 Apr 2014While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.
Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
