1956 Dodge Pickup Truck, Custom, Street Rod on 2040-cars
Plattsburgh, New York, United States
|
I am sorry to say I am selling my 56 Dodge Custom Pickup. A really great ride that is not getting out much since we have picked up a Mustang GT Convertible to cruise around in on nice days.
I purchased this truck almost four years ago out of a dealership in Nebraska. It was built and shown at shows in the Midwest for several years. I purchased it so I could enjoy a ride that does not need to be worked on, and rides smooth like a modern car. It has worked out just perfect and all we have done is change the oil, filter and clean it. I purchased it because it was not the same as other old trucks around and it looked really cool with the neat bed and stance, oh and this is the last year for the butterfly hood . It sounds great with a low rumble loud enough to let you know it is not your stock truck, but not to loud to become a bother when you are cruising. I get lots of looks and thumbs up. I often take it to work which is a 50 mile round trip on the highway. The shaved doors and tailgate are a really neat feature and my son gets a kick out of having folks find the hidden electric opener. The body is nice and solid, as well as the running boards, and the wood bed are all in great shape. This is not a low end vehicle it is a very nice and complete truck This Dodge truck comes with the rare but cool looking low profile factory short bed. The info on its parts is what I have been told from the person who build it, and I have had no reason to doubt it. The paint is older, and has some paint chips from road trips , but still is really nice, . So it is time to say goodbye to my 56 Dodge pickup truck. I reserve the right to end the auction early in case I sell it locally. Here is some info below, I am sure I missed some of the stuff it has.

2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit is ready to serve and protect
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Okay speed freaks, it's time to update your cheat sheet of police headlights, as Dodge has just unveiled the new 2015 Charger sedan's police variant, the Pursuit.
Like previous Charger Pursuits, the 2015 model is based on a modified version of the civilian sedan, featuring the same basic batch of mechanicals and sheetmetal, while adding a number of items specific to the five-oh.
For 2015, cops can select from the same 3.6-ltier V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 available to the civilian population, with former turning out 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and the latter packing 370 ponies and 390 lb-ft. Even loaded down with equipment, Dodge claims the Hemi-powered cop car can hit 60 miles per hour in under six seconds, while both engines are expected return 26 miles per gallon on the highway (thanks to the V8's four-cylinder mode). Rear-wheel drive is standard with both engines, while V8 Pursuits can be fitted with all-wheel drive.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
