THIS AUCTION IS FOR A TOTALLY BADASS 1973 DODGE POWER WAGON 4X4. IT HAS 84,441 MILES AND RUNS GREAT. I WILL DO MY BEST TO LIST ALL THE FEATURES AS WELL AS THE DEFECTS. THE VAN HAS A BRAND NEW INTERIOR WITH WOOD PANELING ON THE WALLS AND CEILING AND GRAY CARPET ON THE FLOOR. IT HAS A BRAND NEW ROOF VENT. WE HAD THE 2 FRONT CABIN SEATS REUPHOLSTERED IN A DARK GREY CLOTH WITH BLACK VINYL FOLDING ARMRESTS. WE INSTALLED A BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD AND ALL OTHER GLASS IS GOOD EXCEPT THE RIGHT MIDDLE WINDOW WHICH IS TAPED UP. THIS WINDOW SHOULD BE VERY EASY AND CHEAP TO REPLACE. THE TIRES ARE 33 X 12.5 X R15 AND ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH A LOT OF TREAD. I HAD A LINE ON A SET OF 35'S WITH GREAT RUBBER FOR $200 SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT. THEY WILL TOTALLY FIT AND IT LOOKS PRETTY RAD WITH THE EXTRA 2" LIFT. THERE IS NO SPARE TIRE INCLUDED WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS A CUSTOM 8" LIFT AND HANDLES REALLY WELL. THE WHEELS ARE 15" EAGLE ALLOYS AND ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.THE VEHICLE HAS A TOW HITCH AND REAR LADDER.IT HAS DUAL EXHAUST AND SOUNDS REALLY GOOD. THE VAN HAS TWO FUEL TANKS WITH A SWITCH DOWN BY THE DRIVERS SEAT FOR THOSE REALLY LONG TRIPS. IT HAS STEEL HORSE SIDE-STEPS FOR BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER DOORS. THE VAN HAS A GT GRANT STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS NO RADIO INSTALLED BUT WE CAN THROW IN A LATE MODEL CD / STEREO. IT HAS A CUSTOM FRONT BUMPER / BRUSH GUARD WITH A WENCH AND KC LIGHTS AND A CUSTOME CHROME GRILLE. BOTH THE WENCH AND KC LIGHTS ARE IN WORKING CONDITION BUT THE WENCH NEEDS A BATTERY AND REMOTE AND THE KC LIGHTS NEED TO BE WIRED IN ( EVERYTHING IS THERE ). THE ENGINE IS A 360 CID / V8. IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. WE INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY AND HAD A BASIC SERVICE DONE ( OIL AND FILTER CHANGES, BRAKES, AND FLUIDS ) THIS THING RUNS GREAT AND IS SUPER FUN TO DRIVE.THE FEW MINOR ISSUES I FOUND WITH IT ARE THE RIGHT MIDDLE WINDOW LIKE I MENTIONED, SMALL CRACK IN LEFT BRAKELIGHT, THE REAR DOOR LOCK IS MISSING, AND AS OF RIGHT NOW THE DRIVERS DOOR ONLY OPENS FROM THE INSIDE. THIS ONLY STARTED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO SO I DON'T THINK ITS ANYTHING MAJOR. MAYBE A CLIP RATTLED LOOSE OR SOMETHING. IT DOES HAVE SOME RUST. MOSTLY SURFACE THROUGHOUT BUT SOME BAD SPOTS ON THE ROOF. WHEN WE WERE THINKING OF GOING FULL RESTO WITH THIS THING WE WERE GONNA HAVE THE ROOF CUT AND INSTALL ONE OF THOSE POP UP CAMPER TOPS. THAT WOULD SOLVE 99% OF THE PROBLEM BUT IF THATS NOT YOUR THING THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT RUST ABATEMENT GUYS AROUND. I THINK THATS EVERYTHING BUT I DO HAVE TO STATE VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS. IT IS FOR LOCAL PICKUP ONLY BUT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOUR SHIPPING AGENT AND DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO HELP YOU OUT.THE VAN IS LOCATED IN CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA 93012. PLEASE EMAIL ME THROUGH EBAY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR JUST WANT TO COME KICK THE TIRES. ALSO THIS VEHICLE NO LONGER NEEDS TO BE SMOGGED WHICH IS ALWAYS NICE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AND GOOD LUCK.

It ain't easy keeping a Hellcat steady at 170 mph on ice
Mon, Mar 28 2016The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat you see hit the ice at Arsunda Speed Weekend in Sweden, over two hours north of Stockholm. It's said to be bone stock, save for the studded tires that help it grip on ice. But it apparently takes more than some steel studs and a lead foot to keep it pointed the right way. Just look at how much driver Alx Danielsson has to saw at the wheel to keep the Hellcat from veering off course. Fortunately he seems to have the chops to do so, being not only a native of Sweden (and therefor imbued from birth with otherworldly abilities to drive on ice) but also having won the highly competitive Formula Renault 3.5 Series championship back in 2006. In the end Danielsson hit a top speed in excess of 170 miles per hour, touted as some sort of record, however unofficial (and specific to Dodge Challengers). That's a fair bit shy of the 205 mph that Bentley achieved in the Continental Supersports, but while that model had slightly less power than the Hellcat, it did have the benefit of all-wheel drive – something that could make all the difference in these kinds of slippery conditions.

How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system
Sat, Jul 25 2015If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking
Performance doesn't matter anymore, it's all about the feel
Wed, Aug 24 2022We've just had a week of supercars and high-end EVs revealed. Many of them boast outrageous performance specs. There were multiple vehicles with horsepower in the four-figure range, and not just sports cars, but SUVs with 0-60 mph times under 3.5 seconds. And it's not just a rarified set of supercar builders, comparatively small tuners are also building this stuff. Going fast is easy nowadays and getting easier. So what will distinguish the greats from the wannabes? It's all about how a car feels. This may seem obvious. "Of course it matters that a car should have good steering feel and a playful chassis!" you say. "Why are you being paid for this stuff?" But a lot of automakers have missed the memo. This past week I spent some time in a BMW M4 Competition convertible, and it's a perfect example of prioritizing performance over experience. It boggles my mind how a company can create such dead and disconnected steering; the weight never changes, there's no feel whatsoever. The chassis is inflappable, but to a fault, because it doesn't feel like anything you're doing is difficult or exciting. The car is astoundingly fast and capable, but it feels less like driving a car and more like tapping in a heading on the Enterprise-D. I also happened to drive something of comparable performance that was much more enjoyable: a Mercedes-AMG GT. It was a basic model with the Stealth Edition blackout package, and even though it had a twin-turbo V8 instead of a six-cylinder, it only made 20 more horsepower. The power wasn't the big differentiator, it was (say it with me) the feel. While not the best example, the steering builds resistance as you dial in lock, giving you a better idea of what's happening up front. Pulses and vibrations come back to you as you move over bumpy pavement in corners. The chassis isn't quite as buttoned down, either, providing a little bit of body roll that tells you you're pushing it. It's also easier to feel when the car is wanting to understeer or oversteer, and how your throttle and steering inputs are affecting it. The whole thing is much more involving, exciting and fun. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Stealth Edition View 8 Photos That's also to say nothing of the Merc's sounds. That V8 is maybe not the best sounding engine, but its urgent churn through the opened-up exhaust gets your heart racing. It also seems like it's vibrating the whole cabin, so you feel it as much as you hear it.
