  • Many of you may have seen "Big Blue" (A 1964 WM300 Crew Cab in bright Turquoise) listed last week.
  • For those of you who did not, this 1960 W300 was my late Fathers pet project since I was born 42 years ago.
  • He spent thousands of hours over 38 years creating it. And it truly reflects his very unique personality.
  • PAINT AND TRIM - He went through a chrome stage and this has more chrome than you can imagine!  From the Lug Nuts to the Gas Pedal to the head of the Shovel and Axe mounted in the back above chromed Bed Rails.
    • He had a paint booth on the shops property and painted this many times until he had it just the right shade and quality.  That was done when the engine was out in '85.
  • ENGINE - He owned a small shop with some very talented mechanics that took the engine out and rebuilt in 1985.  I don't have details on what was done except I know it didn't need the work but since he was going to completely restore it he had the boys down at the shop break it down and rebuild it.
  • INTERIOR - The same cobbler that sewed the seats for the '64W300 did the work on the bench, headliner, door panels and carpet and it is the work of true Artist. - (Note: the pictures of the interior look like there are dents - there are NONE - they are reflections only)
  • SPECIAL FEATURES -
    • 12 volts
    • Power Brakes. 
    • Locking Hubs.
    • Late Model Instrument Panel. 
    • Custom Painted Gas Cans with Script. 
    • Chromed Shovel and Axe. 
    • 5yrs New Hardwood Bed and Chrome Bed Rails. 
  • MOST AMAZING FEATURE - This was never a work truck.  It has no rust and has never been off road or run hard.  He may have touched up a ding or two but the Truck is so clean and has been since 1960. 
  • To say my Dad Loved this truck is the biggest understatement I can make.  He never stopped fiddling with it and drove only on sunny Sundays on the back roads of rural Oregon. 
    • If the '64 was his pitbull then this was his Yellow Lab.  An Old Faithful that he could always count on to fire right up and take a run to the market or drive in a Parade or Car Show.
  • My Father was such a Power Wagon fan that he bought and sold hundreds of them during his life but was never going to get rid of this one.  He said there will never be one this nice. He considered this his personal one and it has never been for sale.
  • I have been driving it for two weeks now, running non-ethanol gas in it and turning heads and getting compliments everywhere I go.
  • I am so proud that my Father took such good care of this truck and to know that he touched and cleaned and painted every inch of it. 
  • It is a True Beauty and it is my Duty to find someone who wants to keep in their garage another 42 years and care for it as he did.
  • Thank you in advance for your interest and I will be happy to answer whatever specific questions you have and take whatever additional pictures you want.
  • Sincerely, Brad 

  • P.S. - Since it is so much work responding to all of the interest in each of these, a little heads up that I will be listing a 1942 WC-56 Command Car, a 1954 Willys Jeep, a very rare right-hand-drive Mitsubishi Jeep, a 1964 Jeep Pickup, a 1952 Dodge M37, a 1957 Dodge 601 open-cab (with enclosed cab/doors as an optional kit) and a Gorgeous 1959 Chris-Craft 18ft Cruiser/Ski Boat that pictures cannot do justice to.  I look forward to finding homes for all of them because they are all one-of-a-kinds in that they were hand picked and cared for by a Man that truly appreciated what he had and knew how to care for those treasures with respect.

The future's electric — but the present is peak gasoline. Burn some rubber! Do donuts!

Wed, Jun 23 2021

I vividly remember the year 1993 as a teenager looking forward to getting my driver’s license, longingly staring into Pontiac dealerships at every opportunity for a chance to see the brand-new fourth-generation Firebird and Trans Am. Back then, 275 horsepower, courtesy of GMÂ’s LT1 5.7-liter V8 engine, was breathtaking. A few years later, when Ram Air induction systems freed up enough fresh air to boost power over 300 ponies, I figured we were right back where my fatherÂ’s generation left off when the seminal muscle car era ended around the year 1974. It couldn't get any better than that. I was wrong. Horsepower continued climbing, prices remained within reach of the average new-car buyer looking for cheap performance, and a whole new level of muscular magnitude continued widening eyes of automotive enthusiasts all across the United States. It was all ushered in by cheap gasoline prices. And as much as petrolheads bemoan the coming wave of electric vehicles, perhaps instead now would be a good time for critics to sit back and enjoy the current and likely final wave of internal combustion. Today, itÂ’s easier than ever to park an overpowered rear-wheel-drive super coupe or sedan in your driveway. Your nearest Chevy dealership will happily sell you a Camaro with as much as 650 horsepower. Not enough? Take a gander at the Ford showroom and youÂ’ll find a herd of Mustangs up to 760 ponies. Or if nothing but the most powerful will do, waltz on over to the truly combustion-obsessed sales team of a Dodge dealer and relish in the glory of a 797-hp Charger or 807-hp Challenger. Want some more luxury to go with your overgrown stable of horses? Try Cadillac, where you'll find a 668-horsepower CT5-V Blackwing. You could instead choose to wrap that huffin' and chuggin' V8 in an SUV. Or go really off the rails and buy a Ram TRX or Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 and hit the dunes after a quick stop at the drag strip. Go pump some gas. Burn a little rubber. Do donuts! There is nothing but your pocketbook keeping you from buying the V8-powered car of your dreams. Yes, just about every major automaker in the world has halted development of future internal combustion engines in favor of gaining expertise in batteries and electric motors. No, that doesnÂ’t mean that gasoline is going extinct. There are going to be gas stations dotting American cities and highways for the rest of our lifetimes.

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep

Wed, Oct 28 2020

MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot

Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
