This auction is for a CLEAN, 1 owner, 1981 Dodge RAM Prospector pickup truck. The truck has 82,395 ORIGINAL miles on it. It was purchased NEW by my father in 1981 and the color was a Special Order color scheme of Beige over White. The interior is in GREAT condition, NO dash cracks. I have an extra set of redone door panels that I never put in. Also have another hood the same color as a backup in case I needed one as I found a short bed version of the truck in a junkyard several years ago & took some of the parts off before they crushed it. The truck was running until a few years ago when my son quit driving it around out farm. It has the GOOD 318 V8 engine that Dodge was known for for years.  I did pour some gas into the carb & got it started and it was running really rough so it probably needs a carb kit installed. The truck was in perfect running condition before the heater core went out & we just parked it and for a while would start it & drive it about a mile a week, but then just left it parked. It wouldn't take much to restore this truck as it was well taken care of, but it was parked for a few years after my dad passed until my son used it to learn how to drive around our farm, then it was parked under my mom's carport where it's just sitting. She wants to get rid of it now so I'm listing it on eBay for her. As far as what I KNOW that it NEEDS for sure is : Carb Kit, Heater Core, Window Tracks repaired or replaced, possibly brake pads & tires. The truck NEVER used any oil or did it leak any. I have no idea what condition all of the seals are in now. Before the heater core blew, the A/C would FREEZE you out !! I had the windshield replaced in 2006 due to it beginning to "cloud" up in places. I also had replaced the floor carpet with OEM carpet before it wasn't available through Mopar anymore. I have a large parking lot at my old store that will accomodate an 18 wheeler transport for pickup. The high bidder will be responsible for making arrangements for the pickup and shipment arrangements of the truck. I will help anyway I can. This truck is 32 years  old & considered a CLASSIC. It is NOT in MINT condition but wouldn't take as much to get it back 100% as it would most trucks of this age. GREAT PROJECT & INVESTMENT as I'm starting it out at what I feel is a LOW & reasonable starting bid.  I was told that upon complete restoration, this truck could bring between $9000-$14000 if done correctly. This came from a friend that does restorations for a living. I don't have the time or interest in doing it myself & my mom said it was time for it to go, Also note that the truck has NOT been washed since 2006 and has just been sitting under the carport where theses pics were taken. A lot of what you see in the pics is either mildew or just dirt on the paint. If I get a chance this weekend I'll TRY to wash it & post a pic of what it CAN look like. Just shot these & threw them on eBay today. There is NO complete rust-through on this truck but as you can see it is starting to get light areas of paint deterioration & light SURFACE rusty spots are forming. It needs to go to someone who will put a little TLC into & have themselves a NICE show truck or truck that will turn heads at local car shows. Please e-mail any questions & I'll get with you ASAP.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute

Tue, May 24 2016

Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end? We wish we knew, but our Magic 8 Ball is covered in soot.
