This 1977 Dodge Power Wagon Shortbox 4 X 4 may very well be one of the lowest mileage truck of it's kind in the world. This is a Canadian truck with correct 17,564 kms which equals 10,913 actual miles. This is a one owner original truck that was purchased August 17, 1977 by a lady (yes, that is correct). The original owner is a lady. Hats off to her and her husband for the care of this truck for 36 years. The truck has never been driven in Winter, Mud or Gravel. The undercarriage is absolutely clean with no rust. There is no rust period on this truck. Previous owner had sprayed most of the unprotected undercarriage parts with a black paint of some sort which is starting to flake off in areas. Metal is like new underneath. Fender wells were undercoated but some parts were missed and you can still see the original green paint. The engine bay is all original and all hoses and belts appear to be factory original. Factory tags and markings are present throughout the truck. The 400 big block (from what I have been told) is quite a rare option. Starts and runs as it should and sounds great with the dual red bottle exhaust. There are no leaks throughout the entire powertrain. I have a number of very low mileage Pontiac Trans Ams and they all leak oil. So, I guess that it may be true that Dodge had a bullet proof powertrain. Battery tie down clamp is missing. All glass is factory original with no scratches or chips. Interior is 100% original there is one minor scratch on the driver's seat, other than that the interior is perfect. Dash and all plastic components have no cracks or visual damage. Passenger side window felt either slid down half way or is broken, I am not sure. Exterior did receive a complete repaint from the dealer at Thomas Plymouth Chrysler approx. 5 days after the original owner took delivery, due to very poor factory paint. In 1977 painting was done by people not automation, so it was not uncommon for very poor and light factory paint. There are a few very minor paint chips but the paint shines and presents extremely well. All steel panels are original. The original back bumper may have been replaced with the existing chrome one. I am not sure if the truck came with the chrome bumper or not. The chrome on the truck is extremely nice, there are a few very minor scratches on the front grill. From what I can tell all accessories on the truck are period correct and they are in excellent condition. The tires are dated 1978 and 1979, the tread is still as per new but they are showing signs of dry rot on the inside. The rims are 15x10 American Racing with no road rash or damage, the tires do rub a bit if you turn too sharp. The original spare white spoke rim and tire have never been used. The date code stamping and other factory codes are still on the backside of the rim. This is a true unrestored survivor. I have not registered the truck so the buyer will be the second registered owner.

The Story on the Truck. I was on a search in Ont. Canada for low mileage Trans Ams as this what I collect. My wife decided she would like to stay in a nice little tourist town by the lake for the night. And, believe it or not, this truck was parked not in a barn, but in the original owner's driveway with a For Sale Sign on. Stopped by next morning and had a long discussion with the lady that owned the truck - this truck was her baby. I purchased the truck without hesitation just because it was so cool. Heather and her husband went on one 5,000 mile trip with the truck and all other miles were put on locally to car shows and back. 1997 appraisal showed truck had 17,000 kms on at that time. This is a very nice truck and I really think you will not be disappointed. If there is any pictures that you require - let me know. I think have disclosed all I know about the truck, you can call me at 780-706-6037 anytime but Saturday as I am a Seventh Day Adventist and observe the Sabbath. I will try to answer all your questions. I can possibly assist bringing truck to Canada/USA Border. Thanks!

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.

Bid on the incredible George Barris Supervan in Scottsdale

Fri, Jan 22 2016

Barrett-Jackson's upcoming Scottsdale, AZ, auction features the groovy Barris SuperVan, which came from the mind of car customizing legend George Barris. He even autographed the interior. Passengers enter the SuperVan through the hinged windshield, and once inside they can party in style thanks to the roof-mounted disco ball. However, occupants can't get too wild because the massive side windows don't leave much room for privacy. Barris built the van around a 1966 Dodge Tradesman A-100 with a three-speed manual gearbox and a 318-cubic-inch V8. Barris originally called the van the "The Love Machine," and it later had quite a Hollywood career. Its on-screen appearances included the '70s movie SuperVan, and a repainted version served as a Hill Valley Transit bus in Back to the Future II. After his passing at age 89 last year, Barris' creation might see a further boost in value. Barrett-Jackson doesn't offer a price estimate for the SuperVan, but we can't wait to see what this groovy vehicle sells for with no reserve. Collectors already valued Barris' work before his death. For example, his 1960s Batmobile, which was likely Barris' most famous creation, went for $4.62 million at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2013.

The van has been completely restored to its "SuperVan" look and has since been signed by George Barris. Manual transmission.
