1953 Dodge Pickup. Frame Off restoration. All panels were painted both both sides prior to re-assembly. Rear fenders have Rhino Lining underneath. Truck is originally from Minnesota. Was in storage from 1975 until I bought it. Restoration took 7 years (mostly due to cost).
318 V-8 engine was rebuilt by Competition Engines in Raritan NJ (known for drag racing at Englishtown). Engine has been hopped up with the following: Edelbrock Performane Cam # EDL-2177, Edelbrock Performance Intake Manifold # EDL-2176, Edelbrock Timing Chain # EDL-7803, Edelbrock Polished Aluminum Valve Covers # EDL-4295, Edelbrock 600 CFM Marbuerator # 1405, Manley Performance Valves & Valve Springs. Custom headers ceramic coated by Jet-Hot Coatings. Dual three inch exhaust through flowmaster mufflers. Three inch side exhaust through chrome extensions. The sound is pretty loud but right for this truck. Three speed automatic 727 Torqueflight transmission rebuilt by Midway Transmissions. B&M Shifter. Custom oak bed with polished stainless bed rails. Custom solid oak rear bumper. Custom polished stainless steel grill (I still have the original which goes with the truck). Grant Steering wheel. The steering wheel and the wood on the dash are solid walnut. Alpine AM / FM CD Player. Brushed 15" Aluminum wheels all around. New master brake cylincer and new stainless brake lines (not power brakes but they work fine). Rear is from a 1969 Dodge Coronet (not a posi rear). Truck still has original front end (rebuilt) but is very driveable. All electronics switched over to twelve volt system. Auto-Meter gages. Less than 700 miles since restoration. New White headliner is installed though not shown in Photos. Additional large blue Iron Cross on headliner.
This truck has won many trophies at local auto shows and is unique in it's look.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as the truck is for sale locally. I will not help with shipping via flatbed, etc. Can deliver within reasonable distance of Hillsborough, NJ (I will drive truck there). $500 due at auction end. Balance upon delivery - cash or bank check which we will go to the bank and deposit. (sorry - too many bad checks out there).

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
