- 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.

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery
Fri, 20 Jun 2014The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.
Legacy Classic Power Wagon First Drive
Wed, Oct 7 2015Shortly before the US entered World War II, Dodge supplied the military with a line of pickups internally codenamed WC, those letters designating the year 1941 and the half-ton payload rating. From 1941 to 1945 Dodge built more than a quarter million of them, and even though "WC" came to refer to the Weapons Carrier body style, the WC range served in 38 different configurations from pickup trucks to ambulances to six-wheeled personnel and weapons haulers. The story is that soldiers returning from active duty badgered Dodge for a civilian version of that indefatigable warhorse, so Dodge responded with the Power Wagon in 1946. Even for those no-nonsense times the truck was so austere that the first three names Dodge gave it were "Farm Utility Truck," "WDX General Purpose Truck," and "General Purpose, One Ton Truck." "Power Wagon" was the fourth choice, not finalized until just before it went on sale. Nothing like today's Power Wagon, the original could be seen as either a glorified tractor or a slightly less uncouth military vehicle – hell-for-leather meant going 50 miles per hour. But it would go nearly anywhere. The civilian version was still built like it had to survive, well, a world war; power take-offs (PTOs) ran all manner of ancillaries; multiplicative gear ratios helped it produce enough torque to make an earthquake envious. Said to be the first civilian 4x4 truck made in America, any organization that needed a simple, sturdy mechanized draught animal knew it needed a Power Wagon. If history, the aura of war, and ruthless functionality attract you but mean comforts and 70-year-old manners don't, then you need to get in touch with Legacy Classic Trucks. If that history, the aura of war, and the ruthless functionality attract you but the mean comforts and 70-year-old manners don't, then you need to get in touch with Legacy Classic Trucks. The Jackson Hole, WY, restorer retains every ounce of the Power Wagon's orchard-work aptitude, decorated with present-day amenities and the best components. Each job starts with having to find a usable donor. The city of Breckenridge, CO, bought the red truck in our gallery in 1947 and used it as a snowplow for the next 30 years. In 1977 a log-home builder bought it from the city and used it for another decade as a company hauler. That's the kind of grueling longevity that lets Ram put a five-figure premium on the 2500 Power Wagon pickup it sells today. Legacy Classics founder Winslow S.
2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen
Thu, Jan 3 2019In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.
