   1977 Dodge Power Wagon that runs and drives. This is a very solid truck with no frame issues at all. There is rust starting to come through just over the rear wheels which is an easy fix. Other than that the body is solid. Has some dings and scrapes in the paint as you would expect on a truck this old. I did notice the floor is soft just by the gas pedal but the rest of the cab area is real good. The interior is nice, great dash etc. I put brand new tires on it recently and had new custom dual exhaust done by a professional shop. It sounds awsome as a big block Mopar have their own unique sound. It has lockouts unlike many of the older 4X4s I've seen. The lights all work as well as the heat. Gas guage is not working and the wiper arms have come unhooked inside, we are working on that and will try to have these issues fixed, bid accordingly though cause it may not happen. The odometer reads 29000 and it may be correct as it came from an old farm in northern Minn and was not a daily driver. Basicly it's a well cared for old school farm truck that likely was kept inside most of the time. This thing is a beast, may be one of the toughest trucks built, I love driving it. Make no mistake that big block likes gas though so if you're looking for fuel economy forget it. If you're looking for thumbs up cruising around in a sweet old Power Wagon this truck is for you. It's not a show truck, you can drive it and enjoy the thing. Motor runs good but for some reason it's a hard starting 440, I think it's not holding prime so you gotta pump it a lot. May be the choke, I'm not sure but when you get it going it rocks. Automatic transmission shifts strong and the four wheel drive woorks great. Brakes are firm and the steering seems tight. This is a great truck to drive as it is with minor repairs or a great candidate for a simple resteration. I'm only selling this truck to complete the resteration on my 68 Charger otherwise it would stay in the shed till I had time to tinker with it. Buying this truck will help me complete my life long dream car project. I have other Mopars for sale on here also so check my other listings. As with all my Mopars I prefer they go to a good home as they are special to me. I have some hard to find Mopar parts as well, mostly B body stuff so ask if you're in need. Ask questions and bid to buy but only if you intend to complete the deal. I'll deliver the truck for the cost of fuel basicly but it will be paid for in full before I make that comitment. I have the option of ending this listing at any time as it is for sale local or I could change my mind so don't hesitate, if you like it, buy it. Call Doug at 218-821-4394

 Thanks and good luck!

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world

Thu, 14 Aug 2014



"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."

Mopar rolls out new Scat Packages for Dodge Challenger, Charger and Dart

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Dodge buyers looking for that extra performance edge, take note: Mopar is bringing back the Scat Pack. Announced at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas today, the new Scat Packages will be available in three stages for the Challenger, Charger and Dart starting next spring.
Upgrades for the Charger and Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine include a
new cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust, as well as a remapped ECU. Upgrade to the Scat Package 2 and you get a new camshaft, and the Scat Package 3 tosses in ported and polished heads and hi-flow headers. Upgrades for the Dart GT with the smaller 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission start with a cold-air intake, short-throw shifter and upgraded brakes. The second stage kicks in a remapped ECU and cat-back exhaust, while the Scat Package 3 for the Dart gives you even bigger brakes, an adjustable suspension and sway bars front and rear.
