Long Wheelbase - Big Back Window
315 V8 - 3 Speed Column Shift
This auction is for an unmolested USED 1958 Dodge Pickup with Custom Cab trim. It has a 315 V8 engine with a column shift 3 speed manual transmission. This is a D100, which is a 1/2 TON and this one has the long wheelbase like the sporty Sweptsides utilize. This vehicle has virtually NO RUST... all the floorboards, fenders, hood, bed and tailgate are absolutely solid. Take a look at the cab mounts on the floor of the cab... they are some of the best I have ever seen in an original truck. It has the very desirable BIG Back Window, driver and passenger side door arm rests as well as driver and passenger side sun visors... these were all options on these trucks. ALL the cab door and fender stainless steel trim is on the truck or included as shown in the pictures. The stainless surrounds for the headlights are also included as shown in the pictures. It also includes the RARE Dolphin style hood ornament that is still mounted on the hood. This is a great little truck to restore as is OR a perfect DONOR candidate for use in restoring a rusty 1958-59 Dodge or Fargo Sweptside... You would have a lot less invested in this as a DONOR than it would cost to fix a lot of rust in another.
The wheel covers are missing, I have not tried to run the engine and it will likely need a rebuild. It needs a new front windshield and side door glass. It has a dented LEFT rear fender... This fender is one with the space for mounting a side spare tire. I am including an excellent STANDARD fender without the spare tire space for the buyer to use and then place the spare tire under the bed, as was frequently the case on these trucks.
Buyer must make a $500 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hours with the balance due by cleared check/money order prior to taking possession of the vehicle or cash at time of possession. Buyer is responsible for transportation of the vehicle but seller will assist if requested.
If you have been looking for a great little truck to restore, then this is the one for you... Bid NOW and Don't Miss Out as this is only a 5 Day Auction.
On Jan-20-13 at 11:26:20 PST, seller added the following information:
I have had a few questions regarding the roadworthy status of this vehicle. As I stated... This is a great candidate for restoration. I must add that it is CURRENTLY NOT ROADWORTHY. It will require restoration. Although the engine turns over, it may require rebuild of the engine and definitely the brakes. I have not tried to start the engine, as the gas tank is removed and sitting in the bed of the truck. The tachometer seen on the steering column was junk and has been removed.

Dodge whips covers off 2013 Blacktop series
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Dodge introduced us to its Blacktop model lineup a year ago with the 2012 Charger and followed up with more recently with the 2013 Challenger and 2013 Avenger. Now the automaker will be applying this ominous-looking treatment to the Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey models for 2013 as well. These models will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Dodge has released most of the details for these new products including pricing and availability.
If the Grand Caravan R/T (aka, the Man Van) wasn't aggressive enough for you or its $30,000 starting price was a little too pricey, then the 2013 Grand Caravan Blacktop could be the ticket. Starting with the SXT trim level (which stickers at $19,995), the Blacktop package costs only $595, and adds unique features such as blacked-out headlights, grille and fog lights bezels and an all-black interior. The van rides on black-accented, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Grand Caravan Blacktop is only available in monochromatic paint schemes limited to Billet Silver, Brilliant Black, Maximum Steel, Redline Red and Stone White
Likewise, the 2013 Journey Blacktop is offered only on the SXT model (starting at $18,995) with all of the crossover's normal options such as four- and six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating and front- or all-wheel drive. The Blacktop package adds $995 to the Journey SXT's price and features many of the same black accents as the Grand Caravan like the headlights, grille, door mirrors and lower fascia. Exterior colors are limited to Bright Silver, Bright Red, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red Tri-Coat, White, Pearl White Tri-Coat and Storm Grey, and the package's 19-inch wheels come in Gloss Black. Inside, the Journey Blacktop comes standard with black cloth seats and Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen, but black leather is also available as an option.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg
Thu, 18 Sep 2014With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
