This is a 1981 Dodge W250, 4WD, long bed pickup. It was purchased new by the Columbus, Georgia Metropolitan Airport in 1981. It was part of their fire rescue dept. until 1999. At that point it only had 8,000 miles on it, and now has only 36,500 miles. It had safety lights, a water tank and hose system mounted in bed while in airport service. It has a few dings to be expected for a 30+ year old truck and the safety yellow paint is faded. The body is rust free except for about an 8"X8" section of drivers side floor. The engine is a 360 4 barrel, and is the original. We just put a new Holley 600 on it, but the original Thermoquad carb is included. The 3 spd auto trans works great, as does the 4 wheel drive. The truck has A/C and it is all there, just doesn't blow cold. It has the big Dana front and rear differentials, and they are geared pretty low, I'm gonna say 4.10-4.30. It really crawls good in 4 low. This truck had NOT been beat on in the woods or dumped off into a lot of mud. You could restore this truck, use it as a good hunting rig, or it is also a killer candidate for a older Cummins diesel swap. This truck has NO title, as it was a Georgia truck and they don't require titles for anything older than 1986. If your state requires a title, that is on YOU. The VIN # is clean. If you are local to this area, you will remember seeing this truck parked near the fence at the airport, or running up and down the runways. $200 non refundable deposit due at auction end, via PayPal. You must come get the truck. We drive it once a week locally, but haven't done any long distance in it. Thanks for looking.

Junkyard Gem: 1981 Dodge Challenger

Fri, Aug 17 2018

The first Dodge Challenger was an E-Body sibling to the 1970-1974 Plymouth Barracuda, and it was a pure Chrysler product with either Slant-6 or V8 power. Then stuff happened and the Challenger name went away for a while, returning in 1978 on a rebadged Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. For 1981, the Challenger got an updated body, and that's what we've got here in a Denver-area self-service wrecking yard. Chrysler was selling lots of Mitsubishis by the early 1980s, including the Colt econobox, the Dodge Ram 50 pickup, and the Plymouth Arrow truck. The Challenger's Plymouth-badged sibling was the Sapporo. This one had a bunch of late-1990s receipts from Los Angeles-area shops, and a check of the VIN on the California smog-check database shows that it last passed the Golden State's emissions test in 1997. Did it drive to Colorado 20 years ago and then sit until a few months ago? There is no easy way to know. Early Mitsubishi-built Challengers could be had with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, but in 1981 the only engine choice was the Astron 2.6 four-banger, rated at 105 horsepower. Members of the Astron 2.6 family powered everything from Dodge Aries-Ks to Mitsubishi Starions in North America, and production continued nearly into our current century for Chinese-market trucks. Not many miles on this car, and no rust. The Index of Effluency-winning team at the recent Colorado 24 Hours of Lemons race grabbed a few bits from this car for their somewhat related 1976 Plymouth Arrow, but otherwise it appears that this rare classic may go to the crusher more or less intact. It's a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive coupe with decent power (for its era) and a 5-speed manual transmission, but there's just not much of a following in Colorado for these cars. I see the occasional Sapporo or Challenger during my junkyard travels, but the numbers have declined in recent years. Soon they will all be gone. This content is hosted by a third party.

Classic Design Concepts has another riff on the widebody Challenger

Wed, Nov 2 2016

Dodge is secretly working on a widebody Hellcat-powered Challenger dubbed the ADR. But for those that can't wait a few years, there's this – Classic Design Concepts' Group 2 Widebody Challenger that was unveiled at SEMA. The original Group 2 Widebody Challenger from CDC made its debut at SEMA back in 2008, but was given a new look for this year's trade show. The car, which you can scrutinize in the gallery above, features a bright red paint job with a blacked-out American flag on the left rear fender and "Hemi" in yellow on the right side. The wheels are also color-coated to match the rear billboard fenders, with the right side being finished in yellow and the left side a dark gray. CDC's body kit is wide, slammed to the ground, and menacing. And if you happen to forget that this is a widebody Challenger, because the extra six inches of width are hard to miss, there's a clear reminder on the back of the car.
