This 53 is a Real Head Turner, attracts attention wherever it goes, not many Custom 53 Dodge B4B's out there, especially as unique as this one. This was built as a Pilot House Cab, but with a Low Side bed, which gives the truck a very unusual profile, add in the staggered wheels and tires and the truck has a Very aggressive stance. Most of the body work was completed around 1996, with some updates made around 1999 (Candy Ghost Flames), as well as powertrain changes. Originally a Farm Truck done in the typical two tone Red and Black with a flat head 6 with 3 spd manual, NOW done in Prowler Purple with a 318 V-8 with a 3 spd Auto (727) floor shift, front end has been changed to a Fat Man frontend with disc brakes and coil over suspension, rear suspension is original leaf style, but with an upgraded rear end courtesy of a 70's Charger. After I purchased the truck I made a change to the front Springs (needed more clearance), upgraded the wheels and tires, added dual exhaust, and had the whole interior re-done, adding a hidden STS Stereo, also added was Under Body Lighting (it will blink to the music, if you want) Of course this is all hidden as well. When the body work was completed, custom side boards as well as a custom rear valance were installed to finish off the look, The bed is the traditional Oak Plank, with about 7 layers of lacquer. Even after all this time the truck will still win paint awards, Our most recent award, it won the "Royal Purple" Award (May 2013).

As for Driving, the truck drives really well, surprisingly controlled for a short wheel base, the rear gears are 3.23 so not to aggressive, and NO you can't spin the rear Meats, change the gears if that's your thing. The engine does have a manual choke for those chilly mornings, but otherwise will start very quickly. You do have a Flaming River column with tilt wheel which is holding a Mahogany steering wheel (Real Beauty), Just replaced the original fuel tank (13gal) with a 17 gal due to some minor weeping, I guess after 61 years it was finally getting tired of just hanging around. One other thing you may notice in the under pics, its hard to tell whats up with the oil pan, but just so you know, the oil pan was modified to work with the Fat Man front end, it has a step in it, so just in case your wondering what your seeing that's it. There are a couple of small flaws in the finish, that don't show very well in photos, not sure why, but anyway, there are almost matching marks at the bottom front corners of both doors, its not rust because it hasn't changed in the just over 3 years I've owned the truck, the only other visible blemish is a touched up chip where the left butterfly opens past the center section, probably an adjustment issue that was later corrected.

Hopefully the Pic's can do some justice for this truck, but it truly is much better in person. I do kind of hate to see it go, but as any car guy knows, after a few years you find and move on to another project, and that exactly what's going on here. If I've missed any info, nick nacks, or tid bits just send me an email or call me (work), I'll respond as quick as I can. If you don't see a particular shot you want to see, let me know, I probably have it and can send it directly to your email.

The usual Ebay stuff applies - Being Sold AS-IS, Where is NO WARRANTY expressed or implied. You should have your money available before bidding, if you win you must pay. I can assist with loading if shipping needs arranged, but your responsible for arranging shipping, I have worked with a couple companies and can pass along their names if needed, Local pick-up is also allowed, and Local inspections are encouraged if you can, and weather permitting, Sorry the truck doesn't come out in bad weather, at least not while I own it.

2015 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack Quick Spin

Thu, Jun 18 2015

"Scat Pack" is plucked from The Big Book of Dodge Nameplates to describe what is basically the average of the Charger R/T and Charger SRT 392. Unnecessary horsepower always seems to go down better with a dose of heritage. If you think it's a silly name, just be thankful Dodge didn't call it an S/RT or an R/T-S. In previous years, a similar formulation was known as the SRT8 Super Bee. Going by another name, it's still as sweet and wears the same hurried-looking pollinator on the grille. We do wonder: What has displeased him so, and why does he have wings and wheels? The packaging is at least fresh. All Chargers get updates for 2015, including improved interiors and a Dart-on-steroids exterior redo. The new lines work especially well on the more aggressive models, including this Scat Pack car. Like the Super Bee before it, the Scat Pack gets the 6.4-liter engine from SRT 392; for 2015 it gets a slight output boost to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, respective increases of 15 and 5. It does without the SRT three-mode suspension and comes with cloth seats (leather is an option) to keep the price down. The Scat Pack also has slightly smaller Brembo front brakes, narrower wheels, and different rubber. It does, however, cost eight grand less and is just as quick in a straight line. Intriguing. Driving Notes Scat Pack cars get an electronically controlled active exhaust that we'd call hyperactive. It's loud all the time, opening its widest at startup, idle, and when you ask for any appreciable amount of power. Sport mode supposedly makes a difference, but we couldn't discern loud from louder. It's a delicious and appropriate loudness, with a brassy trumpet tone to it, and the engine makes top-fuel noises at full tilt. The squeal of the rear tires can be heard from every stoplight no matter the road conditions. A light touch avoids leaving a mark if you're so inclined. We weren't. When the tires eventually smear into the realm of traction, this thing is pretty quick – hitting 60 miles per hour takes 4.5 seconds. There's also an adjustable launch control mode if you want to cut out some of the wheelspin. The eight-speed transmission shifts smoothly. Quicker, more-palpable shifts are had in Sport mode, but occasionally the transmission still needs a moment to drop down from seventh or eighth when you mash the throttle. Despite its two overdrive gears, this Charger is still loud on the highway. In a good way. Probably.

470,000 Jeep Liberty, Chrysler 200, and Dodge Avenger models recalled for restraint defect

Sat, Oct 14 2017

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said on Friday it is recalling 470,000 vehicles worldwide to replace a component that may inhibit deployment of the vehicles' active head restraints in the event of a crash. Around 414,000 of those vehicles were sold in the United States. Apparently, "a component common to the modules of certain vehicles may degrade after extensive vehicle use." The recall covers 2012 Jeep Liberty sport utility vehicles and 2012-13 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger midsize cars. FCA says a warning light may alert owners to the problem. The Italian-American automaker said it is unaware of any injuries or accidents related to the recall. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into the issue in June. (Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Steve Orlofsky) Related Video:

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
