I am selling this 1989 Dodge Dakota Convertible for a friend of mine. I will do my best to give an accurate description of the truck. This is a one owner vehicle.  The mileage is accurate. The owner has stated that the valve cover gaskets are leaking oil onto the exhaust manifolds and this causes the truck to smoke. The body is in pretty good shape for a 24 year old truck, it does have a few dings and scratches but no body damage to speak of. There appears to be little to no rust on the truck. The tires are in good condition. The paint is in fair condition and it has had the front fenders as well as the hood repainted several years ago. To the best of my knowledge, everything works as it should on the truck. The interior is in very good condition for a 24 year old truck. This is somewhat of a rare truck as only (Appx). 3800 were ever made and very few were 4x4 with A/C.  The top is original and has had a couple of small repairs in the past. The owner has several extra parts and decals that will transfer with the truck. This truck is loaded with A/C, power locks,windows,steering,brakes, tilt wheel,cruise and a 5 speed tranny. If you are looking for a rare convertible truck, this is the one. If you have any questions, please call me at 719-510-4582. This is a no reserve auction! The truck must be picked up no later than July 27th as the owner has sold his home and is moving. If you have 10 feedback or less, please call me prior to placing a bid. Payment must be made in full within 48 hours of auction close. I will accept a bank wire, paypal with the fees paid by buyer and cash. The truck is located in Golden, Colorado.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
