1933 Dodge Brothers Pickup., Chopped channeled and shaved to perfection, Earlier restoration of the body, The paint is in good condition and is very showable, It just won 1st place at a car show here in San Antonio with about 200 cars on Fathers day. The Trophy goes with the truck as I am sure it will be the first of many trophies won.
I bought the truck at auction about a year ago and started work on it. Added an brand new motor, a 350 that I had built by a former drag racing crew chief. Its a 350 with custom Alloy heads with 200 fuel rails roller lifters and a matched cam. 
Flat top 10.5 to 1 pistons with a custom crank and bearings. 750 Holley double pumper with an electronic ignition set up. New headers and exhaust system. It dynode at 413 HP and for a 1400 lb truck thats more than needed. 
a custom 3000 stall and a racing 3 speed trans with Locar shifter. Dolphin Gauges a new billet collum with a new custom wheel, A very nice wood dash and a stereo for some road tunes. Power windows and a nice custom interior. 
I had a complete brand new brake system installed with all new rotors drums and master cylinder, I had new brake lines installed and new fittings. It has a 9 inch rear end and new shocks. The exhaust is custom built with hugger headers and chrome and stainless fittings, because the truck sits so low i had NASCAR oval stainless exhaust pipe ran and if you have ever priced that stuff it was not cheap. 
I have been a gear head all my life and this is the first Dodge Brothers I have ever seen so I did a little research.
In 1929 the Dodge brothers both died and the company was sold to the Chrysler family. sales of trucks back then was very low and Mr Chrysler wanted to boost sales and also honer the two Dodge Brothers. So in 1933 Mr Chrysler decided to build what he called the glamor truck, He took the sheet metal from the 1933 Dodge Automobile and used it on the pickup in an effort to make the trucks more car like. He also commissioned an artist to make a hood ornament for the truck line. So as you see 1933 was the first Dodge Ram. The Dodge Brothers truck line was produced from 1933 to 1935 and then the name was shortened to Dodge. There were 99,000 plus of these trucks built and over the years the numbers have dwindled to just a few left. most are in collections and if you look for Dodge Brothers pickups you will not find any and what you do find will either be a basket case or in the very high price range, the few show trucks I have found were listed at close to 100K .
This pickup is not perfect, it does have a scratch here and there and a few chips in the paint, If you invest in paint this truck will sell in the 80s but I felt the paint is just too nice to redo now. 
I do not need to sell this truck but I have found another project I want to do and if I am going to do it I need the garage space. This truck is very rare and will win everything you enter it in as now one has seen anything like it, So if you are a guy that wants to be the center of attention and have a big crowd around your Hot rod this is the one for you

2 men die in Dodge Challenger Hellcat crash at Colorado airport

Tue, Sep 12 2017

Two friends died in the crash of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat over the weekend after they shot off the end of an airport runway, authorities said. That someone died in a 707-horsepower Hellcat is, sadly, not unexpected. But two aspects of the story are remarkable. First, the men's ages: The Denver Post reports the crash victims were Lynd Fitzgerald, 71, of Colorado Springs, and his passenger, Roger Lichtenberger, 76, of San Marcos, Calif. Second, their speed: The car was likely moving at over 100 miles per hour, authorities said. The men had permission to use the 8,300-foot runway at Central Colorado Regional Airport in Buena Vista. That's more than a mile and a half long. But when the car left the runway, it went 300 feet before flying over a ravine, hitting the ground, becoming airborne again, flipping end over end across a second ravine, and ultimately landing on its wheels 650 feet past the end of the pavement. Responding police officers tried to provide first aid, but the men were declared dead at the scene. "They were just test-driving this car. They went a little too fast. I don't want to surmise. ... They probably got to the end of the runway and, at that speed, didn't realize they were there so fast. And they lost control. It was just too high a speed and they got to the end of the runway," said Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze. There were skid marks near the end of the runway, but the sheriff didn't know the length. "I've never seen anything like it," Spezze told the newspaper. "They had permission to be there. There were no laws broken." Related Video:

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.

FCA seeks partner to keep building Dodge Dart, Chrysler 200

Wed, Mar 9 2016

Mere weeks after FCA announced it was shutting down production of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200, new hope emerges to give the sedans a stay of execution. Speaking at the Geneva Motor Show last week, Sergio Marchionne said that the company was looking for a partner "who is better at it than we are and who has got capacity available" in order to continue building the models on its behalf. "There are discussions going on now," said Marchionne, according to Motor Trend. "I think we will find a solution. We continue to talk. It's both a technical solution and an economic one. We need to find a solution that works economically." Contracting vehicles to be manufactured offsite is more common practice among European automakers than it is with American ones. Chrysler's former patron Mercedes, for example, has the G-Class built for it by Magna Steyr in Austria, the A-Class by Valmet in Finland, and the R-Class by AM General in Indiana (even though it's no longer sold in the US). This arrangement would, on the surface at least, appear more similar to the deal that Toyota struck with Mazda to build the Scion iA, drawing on the contractor's expertise and capacity to build the small sedan on the client company's behalf. Only rather than basing a new model on one of the partner's existing ones, this deal would ostensibly continue building FCA models on FCA platforms using FCA components. We'll have to wait to find out with whom FCA strikes up the manufacturing deal, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Marchionne turn to a partner he already knows. The company is, after all, at the center of an intricate web of joint ventures and manufacturing contracts. The Fiat 124 Spider, for example, is built by Mazda. The Fiat Sedici that preceded the 500X was built by Suzuki. Models like the Dodge Stealth and Eagle Talon were built in Illinois at the Diamond-Star Motors joint venture before Mitsubishi took it over altogether. And Dodge continued selling the Mercedes-made Sprinter long after DaimlerChrysler split. The Ram ProMaster, though built by FCA in Mexico for the North American market, stems from a partnership in France with PSA Peugeot Citroen. And the ProMaster City is built in a joint-venture plant in Turkey, from which it's also sold by GM as an Opel in Europe and a Vauxhall in the UK. With all those deals coming and going, after all, what would one more add to the complexity?
