1954 Dodge Pick Up Truck

Engine:  6 Cylinder flat head with 103,500 miles that are believed to be original.  The engine was over hauled about 20k miles ago.  Vehicle still has floor pedal starter.  Pretty much everything is still original.  Engine runs excellent, does not burn any oil.  It does have a mild leak but I am not certain exactly where it is coming from, not a significant leak.  

Transmission:  3 Speed Manual transmission on the column.  The linkage on the transmission needs attention.  It has had issues with difficulty shifting into various gears that are not issues with the transmission or clutch.  It is an issue with the linkage adjustment only.  After discussing this with a transmission shop I am told this is a common problem with the cars that have three on the column manual transmissions. Apparently the linkage has a very specific adjustment pattern that if it is not adjusted properly has difficulty going in to gear.  This is an easy fix and may be fixed this week, however I can not guarantee that so assume it still needs to be addressed.

Interior:  The dashboard has no dents or tears in it. The seats have been recovered recently.  The door panels are relatively new, however they do not look to be the best quality door covering.  The head liner is relatively new and everything else looks relatively new as well. Please see the photos for details. 

Exterior:  Please look at the photos for details.  I am not familiar with the history of the paint job.  It looks to me like the original paint that was possibly painted over with the same color in an attempt to freshen up the paint without doing a complete re-paint.  You be the judge because I can not tell.  The paint looks to be in pretty decent shape, but by no means is it show ready.  It would benefit from being buffed out, again please look closely at the photos as they will be the best indication of the condition of the paint job.  There is no issues with rust.  Look closely at the photos, there are a few areas where some surface rust may be starting, but there are no rust holes anywhere.  This is a very solid truck.

Brakes: The brakes need to be bled, I may have this done before the purchase is complete. 

Overall this is an excellent daily driver that needs very little to move into a show vehicle.  Again please let the pictures be a guide as to the condition of the vehicle.  The truck is all original and runs great. Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  I hate to have to add this but due to others I must. You are not bidding to come and look at the vehicle, you are bidding to own.  All bids are binding and must be honored.  The vehicle can not be released until funds are cleared.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep

Thu, 30 May 2013

The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
