This auction is for a CLEAN, 1 owner, 1981 Dodge RAM Prospector pickup truck. The truck has 82,395 ORIGINAL miles on it. It was purchased NEW by my father in 1981 and the color was a Special Order color scheme of Beige over White. The cab was repainted about 10 years ago. The interior is in GREAT condition, NO dash cracks. I have an extra set of redone door panels that I never put in. Also have another hood the same color as a backup in case I needed one as I found a short bed version of the truck in a junkyard several years ago & took some of the parts off before they crushed it. The truck was running until a few years ago when my son quit driving it around out farm. It has the GOOD 318 V8 engine that Dodge was known for for years.  I did pour some gas into the carb & got it started and it was running really rough so it probably needs a carb kit installed. The truck was in perfect running condition before the heater core went out & we just parked it and for a while would start it & drive it about a mile a week, but then just left it parked. It wouldn't take much to restore this truck as it was well taken care of, but it was parked for a few years after my dad passed until my son used it to learn how to drive around our farm, then it was parked under my mom's carport where it's just sitting. She wants to get rid of it now so I'm listing it on eBay for her. As far as what I KNOW that it NEEDS for sure is : Carb Kit, Heater Core, Window Tracks repaired or replaced, possibly brake pads & tires. The truck NEVER used any oil or did it leak any. I have no idea what condition all of the seals are in now. Before the heater core blew, the A/C would FREEZE you out !! I had the windshield replaced in 2006 due to it beginning to "cloud" up in places. I also had replaced the floor carpet with OEM carpet before it wasn't available through Mopar anymore. I have a large parking lot at my old store that will accomodate an 18 wheeler transport for pickup. The high bidder will be responsible for making arrangements for the pickup and shipment arrangements of the truck. I will help anyway I can. This truck is 32 years  old & considered a CLASSIC. It is NOT in MINT condition but wouldn't take as much to get it back 100% as it would most trucks of this age. GREAT PROJECT & INVESTMENT as I'm starting it out at what I feel is a LOW & reasonable starting bid.  I was told that upon complete restoration, this truck could bring between $9000-$14000 if done correctly. This came from a friend that does restorations for a living. I don't have the time or interest in doing it myself & my mom said it was time for it to go, There is NO complete rust-through on this truck but as you can see it is starting to get light areas of paint deterioration & light SURFACE rusty spots are forming especially on the hood vent area but it will sand & repaint with no issues. It needs to go to someone who will put a little TLC into & have themselves a NICE show truck or truck that will turn heads at local car shows. Please e-mail any questions & I'll get with you ASAP.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.

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.

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
