We have a 1987 Dodge Dakota 2WD reg. cab, long bed pickup for sale. It is equipped with the 3.9 L V-6 engine, A/T, P/S, P/D/B, & A/C (not working, compressor locked up). It is currently tagged & driven almost every day, on Maryland Street Rod tags. We bought it to pull the motor & transmission to put in her 1951 Studebaker, but the truck is so solid I couldn't bring myself to tear it apart. Instead, we bought 2 brand new front fenders (which had most of the major rust on the truck), and a brand new chrome rear step bumper (which had the rest of the rust). The pictures will show it is a very solid body, the only rust remaining is a spot on top of the drivers door rocker panel (see picture), the passenger side rear cab corner (see picture), and the passenger side rear wheel well on the bed (see picture). The drivers side rear wheel well is just starting to rust, but has not come through yet. The only rust not shown is around the windshield, pin holes that do leak when it rains. I have it taped over with electrical tape, which stops the leak & almost looks like sealing trim. The tires are in fair / good condition, the fronts could probably be replaced. It would make an excellent street rod / pro street pickup project for someone who was looking for a project, or could be used as it is. I have a '93 5.2 L (318) Magnum V-8 I had kicked around putting in it after we pulled the V-6 that could go along with the truck if wanted. It would be a bolt-in swap for the V-6. All the glass is good (very small chip in the windshield), the door winders work properly, and it has a rear slider window. We recently drove the truck, loaded with parts, to the Chryslers at Carlisle meet and back, so it is road worthy. BUT, if I were going a long distance, I WOULD trailer it. I'm just not that confident with the front tires. Transportation of this truck IS the buyers responsibility. Rear brakes & parking brake cables were just done, and we bought a new pair of front coil springs that are included. That's about all I can think of for now. If you have any questions, or want any more information, give us a call at 410-952-5919 and we'll be glad to answer you. We have started the truck at the lowest price we will accept with no reserve, but we reserve the right to stop the listing at any time due to it being for sale locally.

P.S. - I started to swap over the interior (beige bench seat) with the blue bucket seat interior out of the 1993 Dakota parts truck we had (where the engine came from). MOST of the trim panels have not been installed yet, but ARE included with the truck (as is the stock bench seat if wanted). I have installed the inside remote control mirrors off the '93. The last 3 pictures are of the short bed off of the '93. It is included (if wanted) for the patch panels for the long bed.

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.

Hennessey's Dodge Challenger Hellcat cranks out 1,032 hp

Mon, Feb 22 2016

Enthusiasts know the Dodge Challenger Hellcat produces 707 horsepower. It's one of the modern muscle-car era's iconic numbers. But for some, that's not enough. Enter Hennessey Performance. The Texas tuners loaded the Hellcat with a twin-turbocharger that works with Dodge's supercharger to boost output to 1,032 hp and 987 pound-feet of torque. Yes, that's an engine dyno rating, not at the rear wheels, but still! It's a little more complicated than a bolt-on booster. Called the HPE1000, the turbo kit has stainless steel headers and down pipes, billet aluminum compressor wheels, and a high-flow air system. There's also an an improved fuel pump, and the engine and chassis are specially calibrated. You also get numbered plaques signed by John Hennessey himself and the engine tech who builds your mill. All of this helps get your Hellcat to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds, and it can do the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds at 142 mph. The Hellcat and it's 6.2-liter blown Hemi V8 are not for the faint of heart. Hennessey makes this Dodge downright demonic.
