It fires right up, runs well, shifts well, stops well, and drives well. This truck retains it's original drivetrain including the 360V8, 727 automatic 3-speed transmission, and 3:55 posi rearend. Only 5118 of these trucks were produced and who knows even how many exist today.  This truck's owner has completed a frame on restoration over the last few years. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos listed here on the auction. I can provide many more photos should any prospective buyer want them. Just call and ask for them. I have a very thorough compilation of documentation in hand for this truck. All the details are as follows:

Underhood appears to have dirty inner fenderwells. This actually is either the factory or dealer applied undercoating which helped to preserve the truck but sprayed all in the painted steel areas of the inner fender wells. 
BODY & COSMETICS
The truck received a professional paint job a few years back in Viper Red since at the time the Lil' Red color was unavailable and this is the closest shade to match the original paint color. The paint job is still in great shape and clean and shiny.  There is one scratch along the lower rear fender on the passenger side right at the bottom of the fender. The exterior wood on the bed was also replaced at the same time and still presents very well. The driver's side floor was also replaced at that time with a reproduction exact fit floor pan. It was professionally removed, welded and seam sealed back in and then painted black. The bed has been recently restored/replaced with all original boards removed and used as templates for new oak boards which were then coated in marine grade varnish on the top and bottom to protect them. A chrome plated stainless steel strap and carriage bolt kit was used to bolt down the planks to fasten everything up and it looks great. New chrome plated tailgate chains were also installed. They have clear plastic protective sleeves on them as well.
Undercarriage of the truck is in good condition. No rot.  Some frame surface rust but no holes at all. This truck was either dealer or factory undercoated which protected and preserved the undercarriage. 
The original "Astro" wheels are in fair condition. They were known for surface rust. These do have some but again they are the original wheels. The rear BF-Goodrich tires are in like new condition. The front tires have about 70% tread on them. I also have the original full size matching spare with original Goodyear tire. 
INTERIOR:
The interior is in very good condition. The padded dash is in great shape with no cracks. All gauges work. The original radio is not working. Lighting is in good working condition. Head lights (hi/low beams), tail lights, turn signals all working. The seats were reupholstered some years ago in a simple plain black vinyl covering. Drivers side is developing a small crack along edge where you slide into the seat when entering the truck. The carpet has been replaced. The only item that could use replacement is the door rubber weatherstripping. It is old and has dried out and cracked in spots.

Mopar '13 Dart priced from $25,485*

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

For the past few years, Chrysler's Mopar in-house tuning division has created its own one-off versions of several cars in the automaker's portfolio, including the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and Mopar '12 300. For 2013, the black-and-blue up-do has been given to the new Dart compact, and Chrysler has announced that the limited-edition sedan is now available for order, priced from $25,485, not including *$995 for destination.
Like previous Mopar edition vehicles, the Dart is painted in a signature Pitch Black exterior with an offset blue racing stripe. The sedan sits seven millimeters lower to the ground and gets visual add-ons like a chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, along with gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.
Performance wise, the Dart's 1.4-liter MultiAir inline four-cylinder engine remains, producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The Mopar car gets a sport-tuned exhaust system along with revised power steering calibration and beefier brakes.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014



We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
