Up for auction is this 1982 Dodge Van. Fantastic older restoration and amazing airbrushing all around. Re-built 360 4 barrel with mild cam and dual exhaust. 20,000 miles on engine. 94,000 on van total. Nice blue grant steering wheel and tachometer. Insured as a classic for next to nothing. Was an award winner when completed 25 + years ago. Custom door panels and upper metal door interior is been airbrushed on both sides with scenes. I have access to a parts van if the winner wants to have the original radio or any extra stuff.

The photo with the aluminum rims was taken a few years ago

Older restoration and paint, roof is faded but is plain metallic blue and easy to re-paint. Drivers rear lower quarter extension behind rear wheel has had rust repair that should to be re-done or touched up. Hood is starting to fade, small chips etc. Sides and rear are nice but needs scratch touched up on driver's side. Undercarriage and floors are super-clean rust free.

Seats are original and in excellent condition, no rips, burns, or damage. Carpet is in good condition and pretty clean. Sunroof front and rear. Dash clean, no cracks.

All fluids have been changed including transmission fluid and filter. New front end bushings, universal joints, ball joints, brakes, and calipers, brand new Holley 650 4 barrel carburetor. New alternator. Has a mild cam, new throaty dual exhaust with side outlets, but still idles and sounds nice. Likes premium gas and long highway drives which I don't do enough of. E-brake works and heat.

There is a scratch on the driver's side of the van that will need to be repaired. It may be seen in the photo taken with my niece. I was going to touch the van up and carefully blow in the scratch with hobby paints, but I don't have the time to spend on it. I haven't even had time to wax it. I have used it on the highway and in town and it is reliable. I even moved with it. Front tires are new. Rear tires should be replaced. Old Cragar rims are cool and would clean-up with some SOS suds but they have areas of peeling chrome. They are vintage and have all center caps in good condition.

This Van with the right person to bring it back is really special. Needs time that I don't have to touch-up and tinker. Roadable decent daily driver as-is. Gas gauge needs to be fixed. Oil pressure is great and runs cool. Has transmission cooler. Van needs to warm up or transmission will act-up or slip after sitting for more than a week.

Van is parked in Brooklyn, New York. May put it in my garage on long island this week. Will try and get some better pictures as well. Will try and get more pictures up soon. Looks good in person but defects don't show in the pictures well. Scratch is noticeable and long. Paint is aged but serviceable. Not a show car!!!

Today I took the van for a 60 mile trip and it ran perfectly. I would feel confident to drive it anywhere. I re-checked the transmission fluid and it was low, I guess the transmission cooler adds to the capacity. I added over a quart and it really feels great. May not be new, but should not cause any trouble for many more miles. The van is also very comfortable and rides well with no rattles or squeaks.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.
