Plymouth Sunrader Pickup, One Of A Kind? Very Rare. Mini Truck Dually on 2040-cars
Year:1981
Mileage:26000
Location:
Clearlake, California, United States
|
This is a two owner very rare 1981 Plymouth Arrow Pickup with a Sunrader conversion.(Sunrader is most commonly known for doing RV conversions and full RVs). This truck was rescued from a barn in Northern California where it was stored for more than two decades. It was picked up from the original owners with the original "pink slip" and every registration from new. It comes with the original owners manual and an original repair manual.
As far as I can tell this may very well be the only one left of an unknown quantity of them converted ( I can't find any information on these anywhere). The truck is an original California car and was purchased from a dealership in Oakland Ca. and has spent its whole life in Northern California. Some of the unique features of this truck are that the frame has been professionally stretched nearly 36" and is fully supported. This was done in order to accommodate the very large extended cab that was fitted to a stock cab that had the entire center section of the roof and back of the cab cut out. It also has been converted to a dually with the help of the rear wheels that are a one piece design that holds two tires on one wheel. The bed is fitted with fender extensions to house the double wheels. Inside of the cab is fully covered in the original brown vinyl and the original tan carpet that has been faded a bit. The original front seats are also available if the buyer wants them ( they are not in good condition from sitting for so long with no attention and are a high back style captains seat). I replaced them with a set of tan Pontiac Fiero seats that need some fabric work. It still retains the original bench seat in the rear of the cab that also needs fabric work.Has matching vinyl door panels. Has large windows in the sides of the fiberglass extension that has the lower portion that opens and closes up above is a lexan window that needs some attention. I have updated the am radio to a newer CD player with an amp under the back seat and two 10" Pioneer subs behind the rear seat. It sounds nice with 6.5" speakers in the doors. I have the original steering wheel but I have replaced it with a rare 12" Grant signature series wheel. All lights work as they should with the exception of the rear cargo light (bulb?). The engine is bone stock with a new radiator and oil change and I believe it is still running the original cap rotor and wires. Runs like a champ. The transmission is a four speed and has a very good clutch but again its original as far as I know. I took off the original tires that were date coded 4/6/80 and replaced them with new low profile tires (6 of them), the tires sport a full set of original port-a-wall white walls for looks. The truck has been lowered three inches all around with lowering blocks in the rear and cut springs up front. Has a few scratches and a dent in the front right fender not bad though, the front bumper needs work as well as the front apron that can all be found on Ebay for cheap. The paint is original warm white and is faded from sitting with no attention. This truck runs well and would drive anywhere. I have these original parts for the truck that I will include, if the buyer wants them: Stock hubcaps (4), stock steering wheel,stock shift knob, stock conversion seats. I have also included a picture of it in stock dress. Buyer is responsible for local pick up and/or shipping!! |

2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways
Sat, Feb 7 2015Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats
Wed, 10 Sep 2014We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.
