As you can see a lot of TLC, time and money have gone into this frame off restoration. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos that I have listed here on the auction. I even put the truck on a lift and photographed the undercarriage to show the quality of this truck. I have many more photos available to any prospective buyer. Just call and ask for them.
BODY:
Body is painted a dark maroon and appears to have been rust free from the start. Paint is excellent, glass and window rubbers are new. Pickup bed wood is refinished. Bumpers were removed and 1940 Chevy tail lights were installed in the rear pan. Chrome grille is excellent. All exterior lighting works. 
DRIVELINE:
Engine is a 1956 Desoto 330 HEMI bored to 341 cubic inches. Engine was totally rebuilt. Cylinder heads were redone by P&W in Hanover, NJ. Engine block was machined by Tucker Kelly also of NJ. Camshaft was reground by Camcraft Performance Cams to a .253 Lift and .235 Duration. I have the cam spec sheet in hand to verify this. The engine runs great ! 60 psi of oil pressure when first started up at idle, and 40psi of oil pressure consistently when driving. Transmission is a 904 Chrysler unit with a shift kit. The rear is an 8" Ford Non-Posi unit with new bearings and seals. Engine exits exhaust via a like new stainless steel exhaust system all professionally done.  It sounds great ! The electrical system has been upgraded to a 12 volt alternator setup. Power steering has also been added which makes the truck a breeze to drive.
CHASSIS:
Stock front axle remains in this truck but has been greatly upgraded with disc brakes to ensure good stopping ability. As you can see in the photos the underside is almost as nice as the topside of the truck. Truck sits on new Cragar S/S wheels. Tires have excellent tread. This truck is a great candidate for the "Gasser" look with the addition of spring blocks and longer U-bolts.
SERVICE & DRIVABILITY
This is a turn key truck that can be enjoyed immediately the day that you buy it. I just drove it 50 miles on the interstate highway and on back roads and in downtown traffic. It ran, shifted, stopped and overall performed extremely well. Engine runs consistently at 180 degrees. All the engine monitoring gauges work properly as well as the speedometer and gas gauge. The truck has just been serviced with a fresh oil and oil filter change and a grease job. All fluids have been checked.

The interior has been upgraded with new door panels and headliner. A plush tan seat and burgundy carpet look great. Smooth painted dash looks fantastic. There is aluminum dash inserts. On the drivers side houses a set of Dolphin Vintage style gauges. The Speedometer gauge is on the right. On the left side is a combo gauge which houses an oil pressure gauge, volts gauge, temp gauge and fuel gauge. There is a Grant GT wood ring steering wheel.

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip

Thu, Jul 20 2023

J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."  Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.

Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.

eBay Find of the Day: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 with 504 miles

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

It's typically hard to find early examples of the Dodge Viper that haven't been crashed or modified, but one eBay seller has a showroom-fresh version of the V10 roadster up for sale worthy of an eBay Find of the Day.
With just 504 miles on the odometer (according to the description and not the images) and "no defects at all," this 1994 Viper is a rare find indeed. Tack on the Buy It Now price of just $37,500 and it seems like a steal - especially when checking out the prices and conditions of other early Vipers currently listed on eBay.
Even after spending months ogling the all-new 2014 SRT Viper, it's hard to ignore the raw beauty of the original open-top model. From the three-spoke wheels to the calf-searing side pipes, everything about this Viper looks just the way it did when it rolled off the line almost 20 years ago. The seller even says that the top and windows have never been installed meaning there are no scratches anywhere on this car!
