1952 DODGE PICKUP TRUCK
Thanks for viewing this classic very nice example of yesteryear. If you are seeking a head turning excellent driver, that is more than ready to take home awards at your local show -- look no further. Old pickup truck rule -- even if you occasionally use them for gentle chores. Like everything 60+ years old this one has a story we would love to hear. VIN NUMBER: 82278292 ODOMETER SHOWING 77,665 which is believed to be original. I am listing this vehicle for the owner. He has enjoyed this vehicle since he bought it for his wife 17 years ago. After her passing he has decided to part with it. He bought this truck from a dealer in Waterford, Va., who had supervised the restoration. He believes that its early days were spent wandering the roads of New England. Prior to 1995 it was parked in a barn. The 'restoration' was completed using 90% original materials. The paint was freshened when the current owner had it repainted in 2010. The owner reports that he and his wife often drove this truck around the urban and rural roads of Northern Virginia until his retirement in 2008. In 2008 the retreated to the Northern Neck of Virginia. Cosmetically and mechanically this truck is very nice. The interior is clean...with everything working as expected. The glass is good -- both windows and vents moving without difficulty. The in-line 6 motor is original. It starts reliably employing the manual choke. Yes, she is a bit cold natured! The clutch is strong permitting reasonable shifting of the 3 speed column mounted shifter. The one barrel carburetor is fueled by a NEW fuel pump. It cleanly displays a NEW wooden truck bed. The NEW 6.50 X 16LT HIGHLINER tires still have the confirming 'nipples'.
I am very serious when I describe any item. I try to note anything -- good and bad, that I see or have been told by the owner. My Ebay feedback is important to me. I hope yours is as well. Please be serious with your buying. Please don't bid if you don't have the funds or aren't prepared for any reason to complete this purchase. This vehicle is being offered for sale in other ways, so I reserve the right to terminate this listing -- without notice. AS-IS --NO WARRANTY This vehicle, and all I list, are being sold without warranty. Assume it to be AS IS , WHERE IS! Feel free to ask any questions about this car via the Ebay message system, or if you prefer call my cell 804-450-1189. Thanks for looking and bidding. Ken

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
Values snowball for legendary Tucker Sno-Cats, latest toys of the super rich
Fri, Jan 5 2018Here's a fun-sounding vehicle perfect for the cold and snow that's currently gripping much of North America. Tucker — no, not that Tucker — just marked its 75th anniversary making the Sno-Cat, its orange-painted, four-tread snow vehicles that have inspired backcountry skiers, collectors — and increasingly, the super rich. Bloomberg in a recent story writes that demand for the Medford, Ore.-based company's products is soaring on demand from the wealthy, who need a way to get to their backcountry mountain retreats. They're also in demand from collectors and gearheads who also love snow, like two anonymous collectors who are believed to have amassed more than 200 vintage Sno-Cats. The value of vintage models has reportedly tripled in the past five years to well over $100,000 for a fully restored rig. Tucker Sno-Cat Corp. claims to be the world's oldest surviving snow vehicle manufacturer, launched by E.M. Tucker in 1942 out of a desire to design a vehicle for traveling over the kind of deep, soft snow found in the Rogue River Valley of his childhood. It was four Tucker Sno-Cat machines that helped English explorer Vivian Fuchs and his 12-man party make the first 2,158-mile overland crossing of Antarctica in 1957-58. While many of the company's competitors either shuttered or adapted to serving ski resorts with wider, heavier treads, Tucker has stuck to its formula of making lightweight vehicles to travel over deep snow. Many Tuckers use Chrysler's flat six-cylinder engine, or its Dodge Hemi V8 for larger Sno-Cats, mounted rear or centrally, with basic, no-frills aluminum cabins. Sno-Cats all have four articulating tracks that are independently sprung, powered and pivoted at the drive axle. Track options come in three different types: conventional steel grouser belt track, rubber-coated aluminum grouser belt track, and one-piece all-rubber track. Steering is hydraulically controlled by pivoting the front and rear axles for smooth movement over undulating terrain with minimal disturbance of the ground cover. The company today makes 75 to 100 Sno-Cats a year for customers including the U.S. military, oil-drilling crews in cold places like Alaska and North Dakota, and utilities. But demand is so high that it's launched a profitable service reselling and refurbishing old machines. E.M. Tucker's grandson, Jeff McNeil, now head of this division, scours Google Earth for abandoned Sno-Cats rusting in backyards that he might be able to acquire and fix up.
Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.
