- Many of you may have seen "Big Blue" (A 1964 WM300 Crew Cab in bright Turquoise) listed last week.
- For those of you who did not, this 1960 W300 was my late Fathers pet project since I was born 42 years ago.
- He spent thousands of hours over 38 years creating it. And it truly reflects his very unique personality.
- PAINT AND TRIM - He went through a chrome stage and this has more chrome than you can imagine! From the Lug Nuts to the Gas Pedal to the head of the Shovel and Axe mounted in the back above chromed Bed Rails.
- He had a paint booth on the shops property and painted this many times until he had it just the right shade and quality. That was done when the engine was out in '85.
- ENGINE - He owned a small shop with some very talented mechanics that took the engine out and rebuilt in 1985. I don't have details on what was done except I know it didn't need the work but since he was going to completely restore it he had the boys down at the shop break it down and rebuild it.
- INTERIOR - The same cobbler that sewed the seats for the '64W300 did the work on the bench, headliner, door panels and carpet and it is the work of true Artist. - (Note: the pictures of the interior look like there are dents - there are NONE - they are reflections only)
- SPECIAL FEATURES -
- 12 volts
- Power Brakes.
- Locking Hubs.
- Late Model Instrument Panel.
- Custom Painted Gas Cans with Script.
- Chromed Shovel and Axe.
- 5yrs New Hardwood Bed and Chrome Bed Rails.
- MOST AMAZING FEATURE - This was never a work truck. It has no rust and has never been off road or run hard. He may have touched up a ding or two but the Truck is so clean and has been since 1960.
- To say my Dad Loved this truck is the biggest understatement I can make. He never stopped fiddling with it and drove only on sunny Sundays on the back roads of rural Oregon.
- If the '64 was his pitbull then this was his Yellow Lab. An Old Faithful that he could always count on to fire right up and take a run to the market or drive in a Parade or Car Show.
- My Father was such a Power Wagon fan that he bought and sold hundreds of them during his life but was never going to get rid of this one. He said there will never be one this nice. He considered this his personal one and it has never been for sale.
- I have been driving it for two weeks now, running non-ethanol gas in it and turning heads and getting compliments everywhere I go.
- I am so proud that my Father took such good care of this truck and to know that he touched and cleaned and painted every inch of it.
- It is a True Beauty and it is my Duty to find someone who wants to keep in their garage another 42 years and care for it as he did.
- Thank you in advance for your interest and I will be happy to answer whatever specific questions you have and take whatever additional pictures you want.
- Sincerely, Brad
- P.S. - Since it is so much work responding to all of the interest in each of these, a little heads up that I will be listing a 1942 WC-56 Command Car, a 1954 Willys Jeep, a very rare right-hand-drive Mitsubishi Jeep, a 1964 Jeep Pickup, a 1952 Dodge M37, a 1957 Dodge 601 open-cab (with enclosed cab/doors as an optional kit) and a Gorgeous 1959 Chris-Craft 18ft Cruiser/Ski Boat that pictures cannot do justice to. I look forward to finding homes for all of them because they are all one-of-a-kinds in that they were hand picked and cared for by a Man that truly appreciated what he had and knew how to care for those treasures with respect.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 raises $825,000 for charity
Sun, 28 Sep 2014$60,000 doesn't strike us as a lot to pay for a muscle car with 707 horsepower on tap. $825,000... now that's a different story. But, according to the official SRT blog, that's how much one generous and eager buyer paid for the privilege of getting his (or her) hands on the very first new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Decked out in Stryker Red paint that's usually reserved for the Viper, the supercharged Challenger bearing the VIN 0001 went up for auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas on Saturday under the auspices of Barrett-Jackson. By the time bidding ended, the gavel dropped at $825,000 - nearly 14 times the sticker price - 100 percent of which will benefit Opportunity Vehicle, a charity that aids the intellectually handicapped in the Las Vegas Area.
Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
