For sale is a 1978 Dodge Power Wagon Custom W150. It was the last year for Power Wagons. It is a single owner vehicle essentially even though it has been titled twice. It was retitled in 2010 when my father passed away in 2009. It was a garage kept vehicle since it was purchased in 1978 until 2008 when he placed it outside. Sadly since then time and weather has slowly taken it's toll on this vehicle. With a little TLC and some money it would be a perfect restoration vehicle. It has a 318 engine in running condition when last started in 2011. The transmission was rebuilt in late 2008. It is equipped with skid plate, bucket seats, AM/FM stereo with 8 track player, power steering, Hickey roll bar, 6.5' bed, and manual 4x4. Back in 2011 when it was last started and driven it was believed a resistor shorted out under the hood somewhere after the battery connection. The odometer has rolled over twice with it now showing 16423.3 but it has actually been driven 216,423.3. I've been meaning to try and restore this vehicle since 2010 but time has not been on my side. If anyone has question please do not hesitate to ask. I'd love to see this classic vehicle go to a great home.

2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.
Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes
Wed, 05 Jun 2013What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.
