1997 Dodge Dakota R/t Clone 360 5 Speed on 2040-cars
|
1997 Dodge Dakota built to clone the R/T model Dakotas. I did not do the work but I will convey what was told to me when I purchased the truck. I have owned it for about two years now.
Built 360 engine. Runs strong. I had it put on a dyno and it put out a peak HP of approx 197 and peak torque of approx 256. Motor seems to be built for low end torque. It is a 5 speed manual which supposedly was gone through when the engine was built. Also, the rear end was redone and is positive traction. I was told that there was only about 20,00 miles on the rebuilt power train. I have driven it probably 4-5K miles since Ive owned it. The only thing I know wrong mechanically is a small oil leak (I believe out of the rear main) but again, it wasn't even a half court low between the last oil changes. Oil leak is minor. Body is in decent shape but could stand a little TLC. There is some rust starting on the rear fender wells, but it isn't terrible yet. Also, the paint job is decent but has some scuffs/marks if looked at closely. Overall, truck is in good mechanical condition and decent body for the age. I have had several "toy" vehicles, and by far I have gotten more compliments/looks driving this one. It is very unique looking and the exhaust sounds awesome. Must hear to appreciate. Buyer to pick up vehicle or responsible for all shipping. Thanks for looking and please email me with any questions. SELLER RESERVES RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY IF TRUCK IS SOLD LOCALLY. |

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
An inside look at Mopar's SEMA fleet
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Mopar is heading to the SEMA show in Las Vegas with a fleet of customized vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts of all stripes. There's a Dodge Viper ACR concept that follows in the lineage of the supercar's great road racing past, and a custom Ram ProMaster that might just be the ultimate outdoor party machine.
We got an inside look at Mopar's cars that will be on display at the show, which also include a Dodge Challenger T/A concept, two crazy Jeeps and a Ram 2500 Outdoorsman that could change the way you camp. While these are some of our favorites, Mopar is bringing plenty to SEMA, so let us know your top choices in the comments section.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos
Wed, 21 May 2014Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
