1936 Dodge Lc 1/2 Ton Pickup on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
This is an sharp looking restored 1936 Dodge pickup. The body was removed during restoration and the frame sandblasted and painted black. The motor is the original 201 cc 3 1/8" bore. It was reconditioned at the time of restoration and has: new pistons (oversize bore 0.100), rings, wrist pins, bearings, main bearings, camshaft bearings, balanced crank, seals, timing chain, oil seals, gaskets etc... It runs great and has less than 200 hours on it since the restoration. The body was restored by a combination of amateurs and professionals. It has new brake lining, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake tubing. Shocks are original a present. 5 6.00 x 16 Firestone tires in great shape (purchased new around 1995) The paint job looks sharp (base coat/clear coat) and has a few blemishes. There is one small rumple in the hood (barely noticeable) and two small pings in the rear of the cab. The gauges are original (there is a complete, new, unused temperature gauge which needs to be re-filled with gas - an aftermarket temp gauge is installed under the dash as a precaution). The wiring harness is new (lights and body) and was manufactured from the original cloth wiring. The box and the drivers side door came from another truck. I cut apart a parts truck I had and kept the motor, drive train (trans, rear axle and drive shaft), brake parts and suspension (springs, etc...) and these come with this truck. A parts manual, service manual (plus Xerox copy specifically for the LC) and glove box manual come with this truck.
On Jul-02-14 at 05:53:23 PDT, seller added the following information: In the original condition description I meant to write that the passenger side interior door hardware is not installed but I have it. All other chrome hardware that I know of is on the truck. In fact, I have duplicate hardware for the doors. I don't have the crank hole cover, if such a piece did exist on this truck new. The hubcaps and bumpers look nice but have not been re-chromed. |

Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle
Thu, 07 Nov 2013The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The 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.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
