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!

Chrysler recalls 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers

Sun, Feb 7 2016

The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Air Bag Control Unit Power Supply Corrosion Report Receipt Date: JAN 29, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V047000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 112,001 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: FCA US LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured December 31, 2007, to August 31, 2008, 2008-2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured June 18, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and 2009 Volkswagen Routan vehicles manufactured August 11, 2008, to August 31, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Dodge Aries America LE Station Wagon

Wed, Jan 9 2019

During the late 1970s, Chrysler appeared doomed as outdated car designs and a second catastrophic oil crisis caused by Middle Eastern conflict hammered sales. Chrysler had some successful economy cars made by Mitsubishi or based on Simca designs, but the need for an efficient, modern front-wheel-drive platform grew desperate. After a government bailout in 1979 bought some time, CEO Lee Iacocca masterminded the creation of the all-new K Platform, which hit showrooms for the 1981 model year. The first two K-Cars, the Plymouth Reliant and Dodge Aries, were big sales successes, and Chrysler went on building vehicles based on the platform through 1995. Here's an example of the later Aries wagon, found in a Phoenix self-service wrecking yard. The "true" K-Cars were the Aries, the Plymouth Reliant, the Chrysler LeBaron, and the Dodge 400. They have become very rare in wrecking yards today, so I honor their historical significance by documenting the ones I find. During my junkyard expeditions, I have photographed this '81 Aries wagon, this '81 Reliant wagon, this '82 Aries wagon, this '82 400 coupe, this '82 LeBaron convertible, this '83 Aries sedan, this '83 LeBaron Town & Country wagon, this '85 LeBaron woodie convertible, this '86 Aries sedan, this '86 LeBaron Town & Country wagon, this '86 Reliant wagon, and this '89 Reliant coupe. The early K-Cars could be purchased with optional Mitsubishi Astron 2.6-liter four-cylinder (complete with "HEMI 2.6" badging), but in 1988, the choices were down to a 93-horsepower 2.2-liter Chrysler-built four-cylinder or a 2.5-liter version of the same engine rated at 96 horses and 13 extra pound-feet of torque. This car has the 2.2. The "America LE" trim level was the only one available for the 1988 Aries, and it resulted in a fairly Spartan car. Tough, scratchy cloth upholstery and lots of hard plastic were the order of the day. The MSRP on this car started at $7,695, or about $16,770 in 2018 dollars. That's a lot of car for that kind of money. For comparison, the rear-wheel-drive (and much bigger) 1988 Pontiac Safari wagon went for nearly twice that price. This content is hosted by a third party.

2020 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak comes solely with supercharged power

Wed, Nov 6 2019

The Dodge Challenger Drag Pak has returned for 2020, five years after the last one arrived, and two years after it began development. And while in many ways it looks like past Drag Paks, there are a number of tweaks that should make this the fastest and most capable factory drag car yet from Mopar. Unlike the last model, only a supercharged 354-cubic-inch (5.8-liter for the imperically challenged) V8 is available. Mopar says it's more powerful than its predecessor, though exact horsepower wasn't given. It did confirm that the previous car was capable of a stunning 1,200 horsepower. The engine is coupled solely to a three-speed automatic transmission with a manual shifter. 2020 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak View 17 Photos Supporting the massive engine are many chassis, suspension and driveline enhancements. The independent rear suspension and axles are gone in favor of a solid axle from Strange and a four-link suspension. The front remains stock except for double-adjustable Bilstein shocks. The engine is mounted to a subframe member that's beneficial both to weight distribution and center of gravity. The car gets high-performance brakes and custom Weld Racing wheels with "DRAGPAK" engraved on them. The interior features a welded-in roll cage certified for quarter-mile times as quick as 7.5 seconds. Helping keep the car planted without increasing drag too much are front and rear spoilers from the road-going Challenger, a new addition compared with the previous car. Every Drag Pak car also comes standard with a wheelie bar and parachute. Dodge will only build 50 of these cars, and they'll only be offered as race cars that aren't legal for the street. The cars will be eligible for competing in sportsman classes in NHRA and NMCA drag racing series. Pricing and availability hasn't been set yet, but will be revealed sometime next year.
