This 1977 Dodge Power Wagon Shortbox 4 X 4 may very well be one of the lowest mileage truck of it's kind in the world. This is a Canadian truck with correct 17,564 kms which equals 10,913 actual miles. This is a one owner original truck that was purchased August 17, 1977 by a lady (yes, that is correct). The original owner is a lady. Hats off to her and her husband for the care of this truck for 36 years. The truck has never been driven in Winter, Mud or Gravel. The undercarriage is absolutely clean with no rust. There is no rust period on this truck. Previous owner had sprayed most of the unprotected undercarriage parts with a black paint of some sort which is starting to flake off in areas. Metal is like new underneath. Fender wells were undercoated but some parts were missed and you can still see the original green paint. The engine bay is all original and all hoses and belts appear to be factory original. Factory tags and markings are present throughout the truck. The 400 big block (from what I have been told) is quite a rare option. Starts and runs as it should and sounds great with the dual red bottle exhaust. There are no leaks throughout the entire powertrain. I have a number of very low mileage Pontiac Trans Ams and they all leak oil. So, I guess that it may be true that Dodge had a bullet proof powertrain. Battery tie down clamp is missing. All glass is factory original with no scratches or chips. Interior is 100% original there is one minor scratch on the driver's seat, other than that the interior is perfect. Dash and all plastic components have no cracks or visual damage. Passenger side window felt either slid down half way or is broken, I am not sure. Exterior did receive a complete repaint from the dealer at Thomas Plymouth Chrysler approx. 5 days after the original owner took delivery, due to very poor factory paint. In 1977 painting was done by people not automation, so it was not uncommon for very poor and light factory paint. There are a few very minor paint chips but the paint shines and presents extremely well. All steel panels are original. The original back bumper may have been replaced with the existing chrome one. I am not sure if the truck came with the chrome bumper or not. The chrome on the truck is extremely nice, there are a few very minor scratches on the front grill. From what I can tell all accessories on the truck are period correct and they are in excellent condition. The tires are dated 1978 and 1979, the tread is still as per new but they are showing signs of dry rot on the inside. The rims are 15x10 American Racing with no road rash or damage, the tires do rub a bit if you turn too sharp. The original spare white spoke rim and tire have never been used. The date code stamping and other factory codes are still on the backside of the rim. This is a true unrestored survivor. I have not registered the truck so the buyer will be the second registered owner.
The Story on the Truck. I was on a search in Ont. Canada for low mileage Trans Ams as this what I collect. My wife decided she would like to stay in a nice little tourist town by the lake for the night. And, believe it or not, this truck was parked not in a barn, but in the original owner's driveway with a For Sale Sign on. Stopped by next morning and had a long discussion with the lady that owned the truck - this truck was her baby. I purchased the truck without hesitation just because it was so cool. Heather and her husband went on one 5,000 mile trip with the truck and all other miles were put on locally to car shows and back. 1997 appraisal showed truck had 17,000 kms on at that time. This is a very nice truck and I really think you will not be disappointed. If there is any pictures that you require - let me know. I think have disclosed all I know about the truck, you can call me at 780-706-6037 anytime but Saturday as I am a Seventh Day Adventist and observe the Sabbath. I will try to answer all your questions. I can possibly assist bringing truck to Canada/USA Border. Thanks!

Rest of 2015.5 Dodge Viper lineup available after MSRP drop spurs sales uptick
Sun, Nov 30 2014The Dodge Viper has muscled its way back into buyers' good graces thanks to a $15,000 price drop across-the-board – and we're sure the extra five horsepower didn't hurt, either – posting a 26-percent year-to-date surge after the September realignment. No longer, uh, snakebitten, Dodge is now allowing dealers to place already-sold orders of the TA 2.0 Special Edition and GTS, both of which come with more goodies as standard than on the 2014 models they replace. The $101,995 TA wears a high performance Aero Package consisting of front lower dive planes, front splitter, competition rear spoiler, a dual-mode suspension supporting 18- or 19-inch matte black wheels on Pirelli PZero Corsa tires, two-piece Brembos rotors with black and orange calipers and performance pads, and a five-mode electronic stability control. We'll pretend to ignore features like a "rear carbon fiber applique" on a hardcore V10 sports car. The $107,995 GTS trim throws in Laguna leather seats as standard, an Alcantara headliner and an 18-speaker Harman Kardon system. It will also be the only model that can be had in Ceramic Blue with black stripes, orange brake calipers and GTS gloss black badging. And that rear carbon fiber applique, since it's apparently quite popular. The Connor Avenue plant where workers assemble the Viper by hand will begin production of the TA and GTS in November, the two models will appear in showrooms in Q1 of next year. A press release below has more information. Finally, it appears the only thing Connor Avenue builders looks like it finally has the work to keep everyone at work. {C} New 2015.5 Dodge Viper GTS and TA 2.0 Special Edition Models Now Available for Customer "Sold Orders" With New Pricing and More Content - Dodge Viper sales up 26 percent year-to-date since Dodge repositioned the hand-built exotic in September and reduced the starting price $15,000 - 2015 Dodge Viper's starting U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $84,995 (all prices exclude gas guzzler tax and destination) - New 2015.5 Viper GTS and TA 2.0 models now available for sold customer orders - Track-ready Viper TA 2.0 Special Edition builds on success of TA model; U.S. MSRP starts at $101,995 and adds high-performance Aero Package, competition rear spoiler and front lower dive planes for increased downforce and improved handling on the track - U.S.

China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps
Wed, Aug 16 2017HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.
