This car is for the most part very solid, carriage underneath great ,rockers great, is running but needs break work and clean the tank and you could drive, has not ran in years, so I have been tinkering with it , it starts fine ,torshien bar was broke on driver side so it will have to be replaced, good project car. Clear title, I think I am the 2nd owner, yea it need TLC and a good body man and you could have a great car. All glass is good and windows roll up and down great,Being sold as is no warranty but I think it wouldn't take much to get her back on the road. Call 615-582-8419 for more info, you must pay in full at ending of auction using pay pal and arrange your own pick up,or you can trailer home,I was told it has the Rally interior package according to the vin# it reads Special order features also I reserve the right to end this auction at any point.  However I hope it goes to a good home that will restore it. thanks Dale

 I added some extra pics, also the dash has no cracks , I think this car spent a lot of its time in the garage because of the dash being so good, according to the family it was loved and babied in it's early days, it has been years since it was on the road, because the car is being sold as is please ask questions ,if I know the answer I will tell you and note it is a project car. I bought to restore but I have a truck project I need worse. thanks Dale

 I did notice the odometer reads 7750 miles I listed 77500 I can't prove or disprove However the car sat for the last 25 years not driven I took the tag off from the 1980's  so it is possible since she bought it in 1975 that they mile are low,  that may be why it didn't smoke when it started up. I first changed the oil before cranking it. thanks

 I am sorry for adding so many note, I was told it was an SE series because of the vinyl roof and the special order of the interior, I am not for sure about anything, you can do a Vin search and make your own determinations I don't know enough about these cars. I just like mo-par and bought it because I like the style.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Dodge Ram 50 with V8 swap

Sun, Aug 11 2024

Chrysler did very well selling Mitsubishi Forte pickups with Plymouth and Dodge badging in the United States, even after Mitsubishi began moving the same trucks out of their own American dealerships in 1982. The 1987 Ram 50 2WD short bed weighed in at just over 2,500 pounds, so it was reasonably perky with its 2.0-liter G63B four-banger making 90 horsepower… but there's no replacement for displacement! At some point along the line, a Chrysler small-block V8 engine found its way into the engine compartment of this truck, now residing in a car graveyard in Sparks, Nevada. This was the cheapest new Dodge-branded pickup Americans could buy as a 1987 model, though it had to compete with its near-identical Mitsubishi Mighty Max twin for sales. The 1980s were great times for little pickups in the United States, but a desire for bigger cabs and more creature comforts doomed them by the dawn of the following decade. The most interesting thing about this engine swap is that it didn't involve a Chevrolet or Ford small-block V8. Both the Chevy small-block and Ford Windsor V8s are a few inches narrower than the Chrysler LA-series V8, which makes them easier to stuff into a small vehicle. It appears that engine length was the critical dimension in this case, since the Mopar seems to have had enough side-to-side clearance to avoid any slicing of Mitsubishi steel to make it fit. My guess is that whoever did the swap happened to have the engine handy and that's why it's here. Keeping it all Dodge might have been a factor in the decision as well, though the truck's Mitsubishi ancestry makes that unlikely. It was over 100°F out when I found this truck, so I wasn't motivated to check block casting numbers to determine exactly which LA engine we're dealing with here. The easiest LAs to get cheap for the last four or so decades have been the 318 (5.1-liter) and the 360 (5.8-liter), so one of those two is the most likely candidate here. Power levels for these engines got pretty dismal during the Malaise Era, but anyone with the wrenching skills to do this swap would have applied some basic power-enhancing wizardry before the engine went in. We can see there's an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, and you might as well stab in a better camshaft if you're upgrading the intake. How much power? With a four-barrel carburetor on a dual-plane intake plus a meaner cam, 300 to 350 horsepower is easily achieved with one of these engines, even with stock exhaust manifolds.

Car dealership in East Texas destroyed by tornado

Tue, May 2 2017

Few things are as fundamentally and unconditionally destructive as a tornado. These cataclysmic phenomena pass through towns, leaving nothing in their wake but ruin and despair. According to an NBC affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, a car dealership in nearby Canton was hit by a tornado Saturday night. No employees were hurt. Four other people in the area weren't so lucky. Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Canton's new showroom and service center were pounded by the storm, leaving dozens of cars in various states of ruin. Some merely lost windows, while others were flipped and left on their sides or roofs. Photos show piles of cars stacked up like Hot Wheels dumped on the ground. According to a statement from the National Weather Service, winds reached speeds of up to 140 mph. Two other tornadoes were reported in the region. The area has been declared a disaster zone and first responders from up to 100 miles away have swarmed in to help out those in need. According to Reuters, the storms Saturday killed 11 people nationwide.

Happy Halloween, cats and kittens!

Tue, Oct 31 2017

Happy Halloween, everybody. There's no real Hellcat news in this post. No growl of the second-scariest Dodge Challenger SRT's 707-horsepower engine, no shriek of its supercharger. Just a Hellcat on a photo shoot. A little eye candy on Halloween. In a graveyard. With a black cat. (No cats were doomed to hell in the making of this feature.) But a Hellcat is a good kind of scary, so here are some of our previous galleries. And may a Hellcat cross your path soon. View 18 Photos View 17 Photos View 80 Photos Related Video:
