1969 Dodge D100 Sweptline Pickup Truck *no Reserve on 2040-cars

Due to a current hardship, I have decided that I need to sell my truck. This sweptline Dodge has been my favorite truck I have owned. It is much more rare than all of the Chevy and Ford trucks you see from the same year, and the look of the Dodge sweptline is so unique.  
It comes with a STRONG running 318 engine. It is not the original engine, but it is a beast.

The transmission was swapped far before I bought this truck, and it was changed from a 3 on the tree, to an automatic. When I bought the truck, it had a 904 transmission in it. I thought the transmission felt weak, so I bought a more stout 727 transmission for the truck. I have the 727 installed, but it needs the shift linkage and kickdown linkage installed. The transmission crossmember needs to be drilled to bolt the 727 transmission to it. Finally, the driveshaft needs to be shortened. I have 2 driveshafts that I will include with the truck. I have called a local driveshaft shop, and they quoted me $40 to shorten the driveshaft.

Overall, the body is in good condition. There is some rust in the floorboard areas that was patched with fiberglass before I bought the truck. There also is a small amount of rust at the very bottom of the doors and a small amount under the front lip of the hood and some in the bed. The fenders and rear quarter panels are good, the cab looks good, and the frame looks good.

I believe all lights are working on the truck except one of the lowbeams on the driver headlight.

I have 2 gauge clusters that will be included with the truck. I have noticed that the fuel gauge and battery voltage gauge either function intermittently or don't work. I have not tried to look into it yet, and I believe it is possible that the problem could just be wiring. I don't know the functionality of the other gauge cluster, but it looks good.

The paint looks great in the pictures, but it does have some sags and runs that need to be addressed.

Overall, this is a very unique, awesome truck that you just don't see around everyday. It has potential to either be restored, turned into a rat rod, or driven in its current condition (with final transmission hookups made.) I really hate to see it go. My wife and little girl even like it, but financially it would be a bad decision to keep it right now. I hope to see it go to someone who can drive and appreciate it. So, win the bid,  bring your trailer, and haul home a fantastic piece of history.

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.
