1946 Dodge Power Wagon on 2040-cars

US $5,000.00

Dodge Power Wagon....this is not a stock vehicle, but original Dodge and Power Wagon parts were used.  Someone long ago has mounted a civilian pickup cab to the chassis of a 1/2 ton 4 x 4 military truck.  It has a very short wheel base (96 inches I think).   I'm selling this truck for a friend of mine who used it to work around his ranch for years.  The winch is currently apart but had some machining done to the shaft and gears.  The engine ran good, but life got busy and it was parked.  Rust is very minimal.  Mostly it is just the windshield frame that needs replacing.  I looked around and they are available, but sometimes can be expensive.  Most parts are available through vintagepowerwagons website.  The seats are there but the vinyl is crackly. 

In terms of the modifications:  someone did a very clean job of mounting a utility flat bed and roll bar.  Maybe it was all fabricated, I can't really tell...it's pretty well done.  He then made flares for the front fenders.  Currently they are a little dinged, but make a nice touch and keep the proportions nice. 

I have what I think is a fair reserve...it leaves meat on the bone for the next guy to put some time and money into it.  Because of it's recent history, it would be nice if this old truck finds a good home with happy tinkering hands to bring it back to life.  Feel free to call if you have any questions or want more photos.  Thanks, Erik (707) 357-0880.  I'm reserving the right to end auction early.

Dodge Challenger returns to Trans Am

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.
Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that - it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.
The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.

Challenger A/T Unlimited Concept could be your next Hellcat-powered ORV

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

This past June I spent an excellent day hanging out with Joey Ruiter, driving and discussing his Reboot Buggy project. Before heading home, I let him know that he was more than welcome to keep me abreast of whichever new automotive project he'd get into. You can never have too many car designers and one-off fabricators in your Rolodex, right?
Ruiter recently made good with the follow-up, emailing me with details on this Dodge Challenger A/T Untamed Concept that pushes a lot of hot buttons for the muscle car and off-roading enthusiasts.
This all-terrain Mopar is a lot more than a Challenger body dropped on a truck chassis, too. A materialized version of the A/T would included a completely new, long-travel suspension, skid plates, body armor and rock sliders, and obviously flared fenders to help accommodate a hellacious set of off-road-ready tires. The dramatically revised underpinnings would be topped with a slick graphics package and a killer lower light bar, all making the A/T look quite cohesive in its own, radical way. And the result would be a car no longer limited to mere road-driving.

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.
