One of the few remaining vintage trucks from the Herb Hobi Collection and Estate!

    Hello Again all you Dodge Fans!  There are only 3 Dodges left in the Estate and this week I am proud to put the Late, Great Herb Hobi's 1952 Dodge M37 up for auction!

     My father was fulfilling a dream when he passed, suddenly, 4 years ago: A dream to have the nicest Vintage Dodge Trucks of each model.   This was something started 42 years ago with a 1960 WM300 and still includes a perfect 1942 3/4 Command Car.  Each truck he purchased had something special.  


      The M37 is not a unique vehicle.  However, there are few out there that are ready to go at the press of the ignition and get you wherever you need to go!


      As many of you know, the unique 24volt system is a complicated system.  The 1st item on his list was a solid electrical set up with no bugs, shorts, worn wires etc.  Dodge designed this unique system to work seamlessly with redundancy and this truck is wired exactly as intended.  It includes 2 brand new high output 12 volt batteries (located under the seat) and the truck will fire right up for generations to come.  The gauges and lights all work as they should.
    

    Next was to ensure that the truck could handle the rough side of the road (or no road at all!)  Some of the collection was for show and Sunday drives.  The Sundays in the M37 was spend off road, up hills, fording creeks and taking kids for rides through the brush of the Oregon hillsides.  Though he only was able to take this out a few dozen times, he made the most of them. 

    He called it his "Humvee" after the first massive fir tree he crossed over on his way to winching his way out of a four foot deep creek.  Each of these adventures finished with a thorough cleaning.  My Dad knew every nook and cranny of each Dodge and new where to clean out the mud so that rust would never form.  He planned on driving this for another 20 years and kept excellent care of it.


    So if you are not a dealer or a broker and you appreciate this vehicle for what it was truly designed for; getting troops in and out of battle, through whatever terrain got in the way, this truck is for you. 

HAPPY BIDDING. 

KIND REGARDS,

BRADLEY HOBI

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
