1979 Dodge Little Red Express Truck Project on 2040-cars
Fort Lupton, Colorado, United States
|
This truck is complete but in fair, rebuildable condition. Engine/trans is original. We have all of the Little Red specific parts. Stacks, wheels, steering wheel, air cleaner, etc. Does not currently run. New:Front brakes, radiator, plugs/wires/etc., all four tires. Lots of other smaller parts. We do not have a title. Last registration was in North Dakota in the 1990's. Could not reach the last owner. On Sep-22-13 at 13:18:42 PDT, seller added the following information: Factory equipped with bucket seats and air conditioning. Also has a sunroof. Vehicle is rust free from what we can see. The only major body damage is the passenger front fender. Started to rebuild it, but other things keep getting in the way. New radiator and hoses. New tires. New front brakes, bearings, and rotors. Rebuilt the calipers. New spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. The carb was removed, but we still have it. Just to re-emphasize, we purchased the truck without a title. The truck was last registered in North Dakota, but we believe they are either deceased or have moved, and did not leave a forwarding address. We tried to locate them through the North Dakota DMV, letters were sent to their last known addresses, but were returned as undeliverable. Colorado has made titling a vehicle difficult. Maybe it's easier in your state. |

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Lackluster Dodge Dart sales trigger layoffs
Thu, 06 Mar 2014Hidden amidst the overall very positive sales figures that Chrysler released earlier this week were a few disappointments, the biggest of which may be the Dodge Dart. While Dodge sales in general were down 11 percent from a year ago, the Dart's poor figures stood out from the rest - with 4,888 units sold, the Dart was down 37 percent in February.
It comes as little surprise, then, that the automaker has announced layoffs at its assembly plant in Belvidere, IL. According to The Daily Herald, Dodge will temporarily lay off 325 workers "to balance vehicle supply with current sales demand." Put more simply, there are more Darts than buyers at the moment...
We don't think the Dodge Dart is a bad car, but it's playing in a market that offers a few standout sellers, like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. According to AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan, as quoted by The Daily Herald, "great incentives on the Dodge Avenger" are also partly to blame for the Dart's poor showing.
