1989 Dodge Dakota Convertible on 2040-cars
Ashland, Kentucky, United States
I have had this truck for several years, bought it wrecked, hit in rear with high miles. I bought a relatively low mileage rust free truck and put the convertible cab on the frame. This is why the mileage is not actual, drive train has 113,000 miles and rebuilt vehicle on title. I spent over $4000 on the beautiful black paint but have put 11,000 miles on it in the last two years and have used it to haul a few things. There are a few paint chips on the inside of the bed rails and a scratch near the right rear wheel arch But a really good looking truck that you can drive anywhere!. I have replaced many mechanical parts just because I did not want to break down. I have done a few things to my taste, lowered the rear 2 inches, installed the rear roll pan, added the R/T stripes, the modern dodge badge in the grille, put on the red canvas top and the 17 inch Toyota Solara rims. I modified the Toyota center caps with dodge rams head covers, they look good. I have the correct Dakota aluminum rims with matching P215/75R15 blackwall tires that will go with the truck if you don't want the Toyota rims, it is either/or you can't have both. I don't have the original center caps for them. Payment can be made in full when you pick up truck, fly in and drive it home. Parts replaced that I can remember, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, distributor pick up, plugs - wires - cap and rotor, water pump, windshield wiper train bushings, rear brakes and drums, inner and outer tie rods, belts, radiator and a/c compressor. Everything works. I have the original rear bumper and it is in good shape. It would be easy to reverse the modifications and put to original, the sport stripes are available on ebay. Call me at 606-465-2124 for more information.

eGarage interviews a couple with 65 Vipers
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Owning multiple vehicles can be a hassle worth enjoying if you're willing to spend the time and the money required to acquire and maintain them. But when it's hard to make ends meet while underused valuable hunks of metal, plastic and rubber sit happily taking up garage space, journeys into the depths of other people's well-developed automotive obsessions will either bring you and your cars closer together, or compel you to sell them off before you become one of those fanatics. A recent video by eGarage is one of those journeys, and it's not for the faint of heart: D'Ann and Wayne Rauh own 65 Dodge and SRT Vipers in a collection of automobiles that exceeds 100.
We're not sure if the couple has developed heat-resistant calves from stepping over Viper door sills made burning-hot by side-exhaust pipes, but we wouldn't be surprised if they did. We did learn that their obsession with the no-holds-barred sports car started in 2006 with a trip to a dealership to buy just one Viper, which goes to show how innocently car obsessions can start. But the Rauhs seem to be doing just fine - perhaps better - 64 more Vipers later.
Watch the video below for the full story and to see what eGarage claims is the world's largest Viper collection.
South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
