1953 Dodge Power Wagon Model # T245 M-37. This is a very unique all original truck that was previously used by the Maine Forest Service and the Portland Fire Dept. on Great Diamond Island and Cushing's Island in Casco Bay.  This truck was given to my father by the city after years of service as a caretaker on a island.  There have been no replacement or aftermarket additions to this vehicle.  If you are searching for those hard to find original parts this is what you need.  I have not run the truck for over 8 years.  It did run well but I have not had the time to do anything with it.  I am looking to find a home for it to be restored.  . The truck is still completely original including that hard to find tailgate. It is a soft-top that just recently tore in a Thunderstorm.  It has some rust around the front windshield, tailgate, and where the battery box was under the front seat.  


This is a rehab project but with a little tlc and tinkering would not take much to get it back on the road.  The engine still spins freely but there are no batteries (I took them out years ago because of corrosion). This is a as is sale with no warranties or guarantees.

I will attempt to answer any questions that you have.  I can also take specific photos for you if you would like.  

Payment-  I would ask for non-refundable deposit within 48 hours to show commitment- then full payment withing 10 days. I can work with you to arrange shipping or I would be willing to load it on a flatbed I have and go as far south as Massachusetts for 200.00 to cover my gas and tolls.  I will do my best to work with you. 

I have never sold anything like this on E bay.  This listing is also on craigslist so I reserve the right to remove this at any time.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
