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.

Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.

2019 Ram 1500 features an updated Ram's head badge

Fri, Jan 19 2018

Full-size truck owners love to make a statement. That's how we've arrived at the mile-high grilles, acres of chrome and belt buckle-esque badging you'll find on trucks like the Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150 and Nissan Titan. The new 2019 Ram 1500 made its debut this week at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. While the sheetmetal and grille are the most obvious visual changes, the ram's head badge quietly got a modern redesign. At first glance, it appears to be the same badge that's graced Dodge and Ram vehicles for decades. Look closely and you'll see that this new one is all squared off, ditching all the curves for straight edges. It looks chiseled rather than carved and is a far cry from the detailed Ram's head that made a debut back in 1981. It also incorporates the new "RAM" lettering that replaced the crosshair in the truck's grille. View 4 Photos Little things like this do a lot to keep a vehicle fresh. Dodge seems to be the only automaker capable of changing logos anymore. Ford and Chevy are stuck with the blue oval and bowtie, so why not take advantage of a newer nameplate?

Fiat Chrysler will invest up to $1.5 billion to build EVs in Windsor

Thu, Oct 15 2020

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will invest between $1.35 billion and $1.5 billion in its Windsor assembly plant in Canada to build electric vehicles as part of a tentative deal with Canadian autoworkers, Unifor National President Jerry Dias said on Thursday. The auto union said FCA would invest in a state-of-the-art vehicle platform that will enable the assembly of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles, with at least one new model in 2025. The announcement comes less than a month after Unifor said Ford would invest $1.46 billion in its Oakville and Windsor plants. "Not only is Fiat-Chrysler maintaining the current portfolio but they will be investing three derivatives to enhance the current portfolio," Dias said. Unifor also said it expects to extend the life of the Chrysler 300, a rear-wheel-drive luxury car and introduce multiple derivatives of the Dodge Charger and Challenger. The union said as many as 2,000 jobs would be added in 2024 at the Windsor plant. Market forecasting firm LMC Automotive on Thursday said it would take until 2024 for U.S. vehicle sales to recover from the coronavirus downturn and get close to the 17 million vehicles sold in 2019. Ratification meetings for the FCA deal will happen over the weekend, and members will vote on whether to accept the agreement on Sunday. The union is expected to begin negotiations with General Motors's Canadian unit next week.
