1966 DODGE A-100 PICKUP

Trust me when I say I didn’t need another project, but …this one caught my eye primarily because the guy that started it was a helicopter A&P that paid meticulous attention to detail.  I am never going to find the time to see this one to completion, which I regret because it will end up to be a one of a kind for somebody with the time to take it on.  I always told myself that if I ever did another early project, the most important issues to address were the horrendous steering, brakes and suspension, and there could be no engine noise, smell, or heat in the cab, and this one just might fit the wish list and then some.  The prior owner had already grafted in the 91 Corvette C-4 front and rear suspension, fabricated the steering, and mocked-up the new brake booster location.  I always wanted an A-100, but to have front & rear IRS, 4-wheel discs, power steering, power brakes, already set-up for a 392 Hemi and a short tail 727 in a combination that should handle like a cat on Velcro was the reason I just couldn’t pass it up.

 

There is only one small spot of rust on the right side below the door that will require a 2” x 2” patch welded in, otherwise the truck is virtually rust free.  It was originally owned by the Telephone Company in Denver, and was retired with 33,000 (or 133,000!) on the odometer.  The original builder decided to convert the tailgate to a barn door setup using cut-down rear doors from a van.  Not the look I was after, and since the truck has a mint original tailgate, I fabbed the missing hinge support, and installed “hidden hinge” locks to eliminate the tailgate chains.  Another thing that has to go is the sunroof that was installed in the roof at some point.  These A-100s have a virtually flat roof, so putting it back right is not a big deal.  The best fix would be to fit a sliding ragtop – it’s fast, easy, and fairly cheap to do.

 

I have some very nice doghouse sheet metal which you’ll need to eventually fabricate the cab enclosure.  It comes with a brand new Corvette booster, master cylinder, combination valve, and the 4 braided hoses for the calipers.  The steering column is a brand new Speedway unit, and the finned aluminum dash insert is also included, but the Autometer gauges shown in the photo are NOT INCLUDED.  I have both the front and rear sway bars from a 91 Corvette, but I’ve never offered them up to see how they fit (the chassis rails are drilled and tapped for sway bars mounts).  It also comes with a rebuilt 727 small block tranny, and the world’s shortest custom made driveshaft.  The rear chrome bumper and the chrome grill are virtually perfect.  The front bumper was perfect, but somebody decided to pull the truck with a chain and the hook took its toll on the right side.  It can be easily repaired, but it looks like it was just re-chromed – what a shame.  I didn’t like the rear coil over lower mounting that was original done, so the truck comes with a proper set of mounts from the Street Rod Garage.  There are a bunch of spares that come with the truck including a couple of extra doors, and I think all the glass is there with the exception of the right side windshield (it’s flat glass, so getting one cut is easy).

 

While this looks like quite the project, once the brake lines are run, and the sway bars are fitted, the remainder of what’s needed is paint, interior, and reassembly.  Look, these trucks bring very good money even at the low end.  It doesn’t take long to see that a stock unit needing everything can be had in the $3k range, but that’s about as low as it goes.  By spending a little more for what you are getting, your project will be miles ahead both in time and the eventually money you’ll have to lay out to get it finished.  If you price out just a C-4 coil over conversion package, you’ll find out that will set you back over $2K alone, and all you’ve got to show for it is 4 shocks and some brackets!   This project does require a fairly good level of fabrication skill.  If your skills are lacking, this may not be the best choice.

  

It should go without saying, but this truck is a ROLLER.  There is NO ENGINE or TRANSMISIION in the vehicle and it will need to be TRANSPORTED to your location.

 

Study the pictures carefully and ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASING.  The truck has an open title from Colorado that matches the VIN plate, but the original owner never had his signature notarized.  It may take an extra few steps at your DMV, so do your due diligence BEFORE YOU BUY.  I’ll provide a bill of sale, and a statement of facts that the original owner cannot be located and is presumed deceased.  In most states, the worst case is that you’ll have to apply for a bonded title.

 

The winning bidder is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.  I will assist your carrier in loading at this end.

 

Please check with your significant other, your spiritual advisor, your neighbor, your parole officer, or that little voice in your head before you bid (if you hear more than one voice, please don’t bid). Scammers that want to overpay with a bank check are encouraged to give it a shot – the comedic value is priceless.  A $500.00 deposit is required via Paypal immediately.  The balance is payable in cash, or wire transfer within 3 days of auction close.  Vehicle need to be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close.  All funds must clear my bank before the vehicle leaves without exception.  Should go without saying but….the vehicle is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, AND IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.  Only you can determine if it is suited for your intended use, and there are no returns or refunds under any circumstances.  You buy it, you own it.

 

Thanks for taking a look!

Viper fans are at the Nurburgring to reclaim production-car speed record

Fri, Jul 21 2017

With the outgoing generation of the Viper, Dodge missed a fabulous opportunity to set another Nurburgring lap record. The company did it, twice, with the previous-generation Viper ACR, but never went back with the latest ACR, and it definitely won't now that the car is being discontinued. This is why a group of Viper fans began fundraising back in January to take ACRs to the 'Ring for one more shot at glory. And, right now, that group is in Germany preparing for the attempt. The team made it thanks to support from GoFundMe donors, and sponsorship from Kumho Tires and Prefix, a design and prototype company based in Michigan. They're using two Viper ACR GTS-R commemorative-edition cars, which are appropriate for competing track cars since they have the same white-with-blue-stripes color scheme as Dodge's old Viper GTS-R racecars. The cars are supplied from ViperExchange and BJ Motors and equipped with Kumho Ecsta V720 tires. According to the group's Facebook page, the team has been practicing since Wednesday, July 19. A video posted today highlighted that the only mechanical issue so far has been an overheating problem that was solved with a new thermostat. Each car is running a different suspension setup for practice - one soft, the other hard - and they'll adjust them as needed. The plan is that both cars will use the same setup on the record attempt. To claim the record without any argument will require beating the 6:45.9 time set by the Nio EP9 electric car. Right behind it is the Radical SR8LM, which is technically street-legal, but not really a street car. It set a time of 6:48. As for true street cars with gasoline engines, the target the Viper team will really want to beat is the Lamborghini Huracan Performante, which pulled off a time of 6:52. You can track the team's progress at its Facebook page. Related Video: Image Credit: Dodge Auto News Motorsports Dodge Coupe Performance Supercars dodge viper acr nio ep9

NC dealer creates the convertible Challenger that Dodge won't build

Mon, Aug 5 2019

Dodge still hasn't turned the Challenger into a convertible, and the odds of seeing a factory-built drop-top muscle car appear in showrooms are decreasing annually. Tired of waiting, a dealership in North Carolina teamed up with a Florida-based body shop to create a topless alternative to the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. It's the real thing, and it's for sale. Keffer Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep shipped three 2019 Challengers to a shop named Convertible Builders, according to Motor Authority. After losing their lid, they gained a cloth soft top that opens and closes at the push of a button. There's no word on what effect the conversion has on handling, or what Convertible Builders did to offset the loss of structural rigidity. The build didn't include mechanical modifications. Two of the convertibles are R/T Scat Pack models equipped with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine that serves 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. It's not a supercharged Hellcat V8, but it's potent enough to spin the rear wheels in third gear. The third, R/T-based model features a 375-horsepower, 5.7-liter V8. While our dream build would use a six-speed manual transmission, all three come with an eight-speed automatic that sends the engine's power to the rear wheels. Keffer's website lists the gray, white, and red cars at $64,000, $60,000, and $56,300, respectively. The regular R/T Scat Pack Widebody model starts at $46,245, and the eight-speed automatic adds another $1,595, so the convertible conversion adds about $16,000. It's your only option, unless you're brave enough to chop the top yourself, or patient enough to wait until the early 2020s. Dodge has already started developing the next-generation Challenger, so the current car is unlikely to spawn a convertible before it retires. Its replacement due out in 2021 or 2022 will allegedly ride on a wider, longer evolution of the Giorgio platform found under the Alfa Romeo Giulia, among other models, and unverified rumors claim it's being designed with a topless variant in mind from the get-go. It might resurrect the Barracuda nameplate originally assigned to Plymouth when it makes its debut. Auto News Dodge Convertible Performance

Hackers arrested after stealing more than 30 Jeeps in Texas

Fri, Aug 5 2016

This article has been updated with details on how the thefts were carried out, and with comments from FCA. It seems the news regarding vehicle hacking continues to get worse, especially when it comes to products from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Last year, a Jeep Cherokee in St. Louis, Missouri, was wirelessly hacked from Pittsburgh. Nissan had to shut down its Leaf app because of vulnerabilities. Now, a pair of hackers in Houston, Texas, stole more than 30 Jeeps over a six-month period. The two were arrested by police last Friday while attempting to steal another vehicle. ABC 13 in Houston reports that police had been following Michael Arcee and Jesse Zelay for several months but were unable to catch them in the act until now. The two were using a laptop to connect to and start a vehicle. The thieves were able to access Fiat Chrysler's own DealerCONNECT software. After entering the vehicle identification number, the hackers were able to reprogram the cars' security systems to accept a generic key, according to The Houston Chronicle. Additionally, Automotive News reports that FCA subsequently updated the terms of use for its DealerCONNECT program. These thefts were not related to the UConnect remote hacks from last year. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In April, this surveillance video showed the theft of a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It was this footage that first led the police to Arcee and Zelay. The police began to follow and record the pair. That investigation eventually led to Friday's arrest. Both are charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. In addition, Arcee is charged with felon in possession of a weapon and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. According to ABC 13, Homeland Security is investigating more than 100 stolen FCA vehicles that they believe were hacked using this method. After their theft, the vehicles were brought across the border to Mexico. FCA is currently conducting an internal investigation into the matter. After this article was posted, the company reached out to Autoblog, stating "FCA US takes the safety and security of its customers seriously and incorporates security features in its vehicles that help to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless communications. FCA US has been cooperating with Houston Police Department since they first started the investigation.
