Up for auction is a 1970 Dodge D300 Truck with flatbed. This truck was stripped down to the bare frame rails and fully restored over about a 6 year period. This truck started life as a cab and chassis setup with a van body on the rear. The previous owner who we purchased it from locally in '95 kept the van body. He was told and supposedly at one time had paperwork showing that this truck belonged to Bobby Allison when he switched to Dodge in '70. I do not have anything to prove that nor have I put much effort in trying to confirm that. I did meet Donnie Allison in person about 12 years ago but he couldn't confirm anything at that time. The inside of the van body doors did have notes scribed in for different track setups and it did have racks underneath the rear of the frame for acetylene tanks. As far as I know the guy locally still has it so there is a chance of being able to get pictures of that at some point.

This is a 1970 Dodge D300 Custom Cab truck, factory 383 with automatic transmission. Factory A/C, am radio, power steering, power brakes, 159" w.b. Heavy Duty gauge cluster with tach. Polished aluminum grille, rare factory west coast stainless steel mirrors and arms. Factory stainless steel drip rail trim and inside door panel trim. If it was an option, this truck came with it. These were not items I added, this truck came with them originally. As I said, this truck was stripped down to the bare frame rails, they were blasted/cleaned and powder coated. The sheetmetal had all rust cut out and replaced with either NOS or good used pieces. Scoured the country from late 90's to late 2000's for NOS parts, including the NOS D300 emblems and Custom emblems. Antenna, cab and marker lights, door handles/arm rest, sunvisors, anything that could not be restored or reused, parts were found to repair/replace. Even to the point of original factory decals and reproduction ribbed style hoses under the hood. The electrical system was completely gone through by Mike Rhode, one of the best in the business. The motor and transmission were both rebuilt, runs and shifts great. The entire power steering system and axles gone through, inspected and rebuilt. Has rare factory front and rear shocks. The a/c was completely torn down and rebuilt, updated with Sanden A/C Compressor and running off modern R134. Truck has the 3 speed automatic with Dana 70's w/4.88 rearend ratio. I've looked into changing the ratio from 4.88 to 4.10 but have not done so as yet. At 70 mph truck runs at 3500 RPM's. I've had it higher but the truck runs more smoothly and comfortable around 3000 RPM's. I did add carpet (not an option) as it's very difficult to find an original rubber floormat. I also added a AM/FM radio w/CD player and 2 external speakers (under and behind CD). The behind the seat fuel tank was removed (still have and can go with truck) and a 45 gallon frame mounted tank added. Truck currently has around 2500 miles on it.

Restoration started in spring '04 and was mostly completed by early summer 2010, with a majority of the work being done by myself, my Dad and Mike Rhode. One of the first trips out and first show was June 2010 in Sevierville, TN at the All Mopar Smoky Mountain Mopar Show. Truck was driven up and back, over 600 miles while easily winning first place in the truck class. It draws attention every time I take it out and every time it goes to a show, having already one several first place trophies locally since then. I added a CM Truck bed to the back, they worked with me to custom spec the bed to fit the contours of the rear of the cab. This truck will come with a bill of sale and proof of registration in Georgia. There is no title. Georgia doesn't require one for a vehicle 25 years or older. It has been registered and insured since 2010. I do not have to sale this truck but currently looking for another project, so time to move on. Partial trades will be considered including late 60's/early 70's Cuda/Challenger/Road Runner/GTX/Duster/Charger. Please do not ask what the reserve price is, I will not disclose it. Truck sold as is. There will be a few extra parts that come with it, including 2 original lock rim style wheels (had to replace with modern one piece in order to put simulators on front axle, rear axle still running lock rim wheels). Also including a few NOS power steering hoses and a couple other odd and end items. For all the restoration pictures, please check on the page on my site. olddodges.com/pictures/index.php?cat=11

I have not seen another truck out there restored to this condition or one of this model with all these options. This truck has been garaged during and since being restored. It has been a joy to drive and show. I've tried to include as much information as I can in the description, if you have additional questions please email me. Thanks for looking.

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.

Dodge Demon priced at $84,995, or almost 20 grand more than a Hellcat

Tue, May 23 2017

Ridiculousness has a price, and it is $84,995. That is the admission fee for the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, or as most people call it: The Demon. The number includes a $1,700 gas guzzler tax and $1,095 destination fee. It does not include a number of options, may of which cost a dollar. Of those $1 options, a front passenger seat and rear seats are but two. Which is more of a reminder that, yes, Dodge will sell you car with only one seat if you want it that way. The other big $1 option is the Demon Crate, which includes skinny front tires for the drag strip, an impact wrench and jack, and a performance powertrain control module that bumps the power up to 840 hp on race gas. Dodge says the true value of the crate is $6,140. Don't let that fool you, as chances are they're just baking that cost in the $19,705 increase from the Challenger Hellcat. Did we mention you can get a sunroof. Yes, you can get a sunroof, for $4,995. Surely one of the 3,300 Demon buyers (3,000 in the US, 300 in Canada) will take pride in checking every option box. For posterity, here's the entire list verbatim from Dodge's press release: Demon Crate ($1): Exclusive Demon Crate offers components that unleash the car's 840 horsepower, 770 lb.-ft. of torque and full potential at the drag strip and is personalized with the buyer's name, VIN and serial number. The Demon Crate and the performance parts it holds are valued at $6,140, but Challenger SRT Demon owners can buy the entire package for $1.
