One of a Kind Custom
1948 Dodge Rat Rod

You are bidding on a custom built street/strip truck.  The 1948 Dodge Pickup truck body has been chopped and is sitting on a a custom built frame that was designed to also mount a 1932 Ford. The engine was built by a local engine builder who regularly builds strip/street and drag engines and races his own cars weekly.  It has less than 100 miles on it because I only drive it occasionally around town.  This unique truck has the following features:
  • Chevy Small Block Engine - bored .030" over making it 355 cubic inches
  • Chevy 350 Turbo Transmission
  • Camaro Front Snout with Disk Brakes
  • 9" Ford Rear End
  • Wired for AC
  • Coil over Shocks
  • Power Windows
  • Aluminum Fuel Cell with Electric Fuel Pump Switch

I have a lot more invested in this than the starting bid.  I have priced it to sell.  This truck runs great.  It turns heads as it is or you can restore it to its original colors.  Because of the high compression engine and cam, it runs on 110 octane fuel or premium gasoline with octane booster.  In addition to the slicks currently installed on the rear of the car, I am including another pair of rear tires that have the tread pattern pictured mounted on the pictured spare rims. Also included is another pair of front rims.  The oil pressure/temperature/voltage gauge set (with the blue scale and orange arrow) was installed to monitor the engine conditions.  No other gauges are connected.


If you like a classic looking truck, the last picture (the photo of the truck with the green cab and black bed) is a picture  of a restored Dodge.  Obviously, that is NOT what this truck looks like.  As it is now, it is a rat rod.  I have been told by some of my friends that it shouldn't be painted because the current trend and highest value is leaving it as is!  

The truck is available to be viewed, inspected, and driven.  The truck is for sale locally.  Feel free to ask any questions.  I am not a mechanic or pro, but I will do my best.

Dodge Challenger returns to Trans Am

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.
Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that - it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.
The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.
