1961 Dodge Power Wagon Wm300 Flat Fender on 2040-cars
|
All original, unrestored driver. This truck was bought new by the Bordens Milk Co. in NYC. It was a tow truck used to recover their broken DIVCO delivery trucks. The lettering is still visible on the doors. It was sold off to a private owner in upstate NY in the late 70s. It later found its way down to a NJ farm where it sat for many years in the barn. This is what helped to preserve the truck so well. It is all complete and all original to the best of my knowledge. I have removed and stored the tow boom to make it into a regular pickup. The rear crash bumper was removed and scrapped. Clean NJ title.
The cab is very solid. The only cab rust that exists is in the right boot cowl. Its at the bottom edge and is a very easy repair. The front fenders are solid as is the hood. The rear fenders have been patched several times over the years. The running boards are in good shape. The bed is also in good shape, but needs a new bed floor and strips. These are easily procurable through Vintage Powerwagon or MarKay. The tailgate needs some rust repair or replacement. I have a used tailgate to replace it. All the lights and accessories work with the exception of the wipers and gas gauge. The front bumper has the Braden winch mounted, but i never finshed installing the remaining parts to get it working. i have everything but cable. The interior needs to be restored however all the original hardwear and trim is included. as well as the original Budd lugnut wrench and jack! The drive line i belive to be original to the truck. The engine runs great. No smoke or noises. It runs nice in all temperatures. It has the original "rare" overflow coolant tank. The brake master cyl was rebuilt as well as the power brake booster. The brake assemblies where all cleaned lubed and reassembled with new wheel cyls. These brakes work awsome. The gear box is solid and has a synco between 2nd and 3rd. The 4x4 works great and the front axle has unlockable hubs. The tires are in good shape and all hold air. The stearing is nice and tight as well as the front end. No wobbles or noise. This truck is running and driving perfect. I was enjoying this truck as a survior and was taking it to many car shows. She brought home a couple of survior trophies too. This is the perfect powerwagon to enjoy and restore down the road, or tear right in and make it a pristine example! I had all intetions of keeping this forever, but life gets in the way sometimes. Im not desperate to sell. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. But please dont waste my time and yours if you are just kicking tires. Thank you |

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
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.

Weekly Recap: FCA hit with record fine as NHTSA crackdown continues
Sat, Aug 1 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration slapped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with a record fine this week that could reach $105 million. The punishment comes after NHTSA found problems with the automaker's execution of 23 recalls that affect more than 11 million vehicles. The consent agreement, announced Sunday, calls for FCA to pay a $70-million cash fine and requires the company to spend at least $20 million over a three-year period on industry outreach programs and to beef up old recall campaigns. Failure to comply will result in another $15-million fine. FCA also agreed to federal oversight, which includes an independent monitor to oversee the company's recalls. The $70-million cash fine equals a penalty NHTSA levied on Honda in January. "Fiat Chrysler's pattern of poor performance put millions of its customers and the driving public at risk," NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement. "This action will provide relief to owners of defective vehicles, will help improve recall performance throughout the auto industry, and gives Fiat Chrysler the opportunity to embrace a proactive safety culture." FCA called the deal a "consensual resolution," but admitted that it "failed to timely provide an effective remedy" during certain recalls. "We are intent on rebuilding our relationship with NHTSA and we embrace the role of public safety advocate," the company said in a statement. The announcement kicked off a busy week for the automaker. NHTSA agreed FCA did not need to recall 4.7 million vehicles after an investigation failed to find defects with a power module used in some Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles. A Georgia judge also reduced a civil verdict involving a death in a Jeep Grand Cherokee crash. Amid all of that, the company reported net profit of about 333 million euros, or $364 million in the second quarter on Thursday. OTHER NEWS & NOTES FCA ramps up Hellcat production Despite a decidedly legal and financial week for FCA, there was still time for the performance side of the business to briefly grab the spotlight. The automaker is more than doubling its production of the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcats in response to strong demand. The order bank opens the second week of August and production begins in September. FCA will finish up its scheduled 2015 model-year Hellcat builds, and cancel any "unscheduled" versions, though customers will get discounted pricing for 2016.
