1947 Dodge WDX Power Wagon. Built as restomod, built from frame off, needs engine and driveshafts and some minor finishing.
Frame was reinforced by previous owner, excellent condition, no rot, holes, or patches, very solid. Frame is setup for use with either stock steering box or Helitool style power steering conversion.
Title: Clean PA title
Driveline details: Set up for 360 Chrysler V-8 small block and A518 automatic overdrive transmission. Engine is NOT included. The A518 trans IS included. The transmission has 0 miles on professional rebuild by a local automatic transmission shop, all new wear parts, new torque converter for use with 360 engine, towing shift kit installed, deep sump transmission pan with drain plug installed. The transmission also has a kit installed to operate the overdrive without a vehicle computer. This truck has been retrofitted with Dana axles. Dana 60 front axle, Dana 60 rear axle, 4.10 ratio, disc brakes on the front axle, drum brake on the rear, new brakes all the way around, new wheel cylinders and hardware kits on rear brakes. I have the Warn hubs for the front axle, they just have not been reinstalled. Stock 1 3/4" leaf springs rebushed as needed with bronze bushings, new U-bolts and tie plates. This truck has 8 lug aluminum Vision 19.5" wheels on it with good tires. There is also an extra 19.5 wheel and tire for a spare that goes with the truck. The transfer case in this truck is a divorced NP205, 0 miles on professional rebuild, modified for twin stick operation so the original twin stick shifter can be used. Shifter mechanism is included, as well as motor mounts and transmission mount. So basically, bolt the transmission to a 360 engine, put the mounts on, and it all bolts in fast and easy. Exhaust system is already under the truck for use with small block Chrysler V-8 with stock manifolds.
Fuel system: This truck has a custom stainless steel gas tank built from dimensions of an original steel tank. Brand new VDO fuel sending unit, electric fuel pump not included, but mounting bracket is there under chassis, and a brand new Holley fuel pressure regulator is on the firewall.
Electrical system: Custom aluminum instrument panel, has new speedometer, fuel level, fuel pressure, voltmeter, amps, coolant temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature. There is also a brand new universal harness and fusebox kit installed. All wires are labeled to where they are supposed to go to simplify completion. It is setup with modern blade style fuses. There is also an MSD StreetFire capacitive discharge ignition box mounted in the cab as well as an MSD Blaster 2 coil mounted on the firewall. This system greatly simplifies the ignition wiring circuit, eliminates the need for a ballast resistor, and will work with the stock Chrysler Corp distributor. I will include all the lighting I have for this truck.
Brake system: This truck has been setup with a universal brake pedal kit as well as dual line power brake system. The brake booster is a 7" dual chamber vacuum booster and is rated for a 1 ton truck. It uses a 1 ton GM truck dual chamber master cylinder, also included. There is a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve mounted on the firewall to simplify use and to fine tune braking bias as needed. All you need for the brake system is to make up the steel brake lines.
Interior: Custom diamond plate aluminum interior, needs very minor finishing but all there. I also have the original interior pieces from this truck that are in very nice shape. They can go with the truck if requested as I have no use for them. The seats are original bucket seats for a '78 Dodge Lil Red Express/Warlock. Very nice shape for original, not all tore up, just minor wear. Also included, overhead mounting box for CD player, floor mount emergency brake handle, aluminum floor pans, original transmission tunnel (floor and tunnel bolt in these trucks). Door glass is original and in good useable condition, rear window and gasket are brand new. The windshield frame was perfect with no rot, which is hard to find one in such good shape, it was bead blasted, repainted, brand new glass professionally installed and sealed, brand new windshield frame gasket, original regulator included, regulator still works.
Cooling system: This truck has a brand new aluminum radiator fitted to the original rad support for use with the modern engine. It has a Moroso inline fill neck, as well as a Zirgo 16" reversible electric fan, 3300cfm airflow. There is also an aluminum automatic transmission cooler mounted to the radiator.
Body: Body all done and painted except for the fenders. All sheetmetal was blasted before refinishing. The bed is not an original bed, but was fabricated from 1/8" plate to look like the original bed. It uses the original rear Power Wagon fenders, which are included. They are blasted to raw metal and are in excellent shape overall, would be very easy to finish for installation. The front fenders are also blasted clean with all mounts removed prior to blasting. All parts removed will obviously be included. The front fenders need patches in the bottoms like most Power Wagon fenders do, but it is also an easy fix. The inner fender panels are included and just need paint. The rest of the body is primed and painted Toreador Red, single stage urethane. Two small spots could need touched up on the bed, I have leftover paint I will include. Fabricated steel tailgate, skinned in aluminum diamond plate. Aluminum diamond plate bedrail covers and stake pocket covers. Diamond plate aluminum running boards, polished aluminum battery box.
I have other miscellaneous spare parts that go with this truck to aid completion. Basically, whatever else I have for the truck will be included. I will also include a brand new Saginaw counterclockwise rotation power steering box that is needed for power steering conversion if desired.
There was a lot of work in this truck to get it to this point. All the hard and dirty work has been done, I have just lost interest in the project. This is a very good deal for someone who wants to get into flatfender Power Wagons or someone who knows these trucks and is considering modifying one for everyday highway use. And anyone who knows these trucks knows what it costs to convert these trucks to disc brakes, V-8 upgrade, power steering, and whatever else to operate safely at highway speeds.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
