When's the last time one of these came along? And this one has current registration, and runs and drives! 1949 Dodge 1/2-ton Panel Truck, model B-1-B in Deluxe trim. "Deluxe" because it has the vent windows, and passenger seat and sun visor. Fully optioned out with rear bumper, 2-speed electric wipers, and radio. Has after-market Arvin heater with 2-speed motor. Nothing needed, mechanically. Original 218 cubic inch flathead six runs great with no leaks and uses almost no oil. 3-on-the-floor transmission is quiet, though, not quick through the gears, (but then, they never were). Steering is tight. Brakes give reliable if vintage-style performance. Still has 6-volt, positive-ground electrics, and everything works except the radio and the horn. Someone was in the process of installing after-market turn signals, but from the factory it came only with the single stop/brake/license plate light. Originally it was a dark/navy blue, but was repainted many years ago in metallic brown. The original color can be seen in the dash and interior front doors. Otherwise, mostly in well-worn original condition. Floors are solid, and the only rust on this truck is that which is between the wheel wells and just behind the front doors. Obviously, it's going to need some work on the seats; the door panel trim and armrests are missing. The rubber around all four doors is long gone, so the truck makes a pretty good racket as it's going down the road. The wood bed is still very good, no rotting at all. You can still read the date stenciled in bold, green numbers on the inside (05-24-1949). Side glass in both front doors are well-past the need for replacement. Same goes for the tires.

I've owned this truck for nearly 25-years, and kept up with all maintenance. At times, it's been my daily driver. I've done king-pins and brakes. Generator's about 8-years old. The fuel pump was replaced last summer. I was told the engine had been rebuilt in the early '80s, and included re-bore, turned crankshaft, new camshaft and repainted in MoPar big-block turquoise. (It was originally aluminum-colored.) Odometer's reading just over 26,000 miles, and I suspect it's flipped over once (but probably only once). With new tires, and some patience and moxy, it could be driven anywhere you want to go.

Included with the purchase is the bright piece that goes above the grill, one of the "DODGE" emblems for the hoods/engine covers, and the radio block-off plate. Nearly everything else it needs (emblems, hub caps, glass, interior trim) are available from the after-market, so this could be a relatively easy restoration. Imagine this painted up in your choice of colors with your company logo on the sides!

The truck is located in Denver/Thornton Colorado, 80229. Seller will need to make a deposit of $500 within 48-hours of the auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Buyer assumes responsibility for shipping. Of course, local pick up is no problem.

Thanks for looking, and good luck!

Fiat Chrysler recalls 650,000 Dodge, Jeep SUVs for brake issue

Tue, Oct 3 2017

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Tuesday it's voluntarily recalling nearly 650,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs to ensure that brake-booster shields were properly installed. The recall affects mostly vehicles sold in the U.S. but also roughly 60,000 combined in Canada and Mexico. The shields were installed in 2014 in conjunction with a recall involving the same set of vehicles, which cover the model years 2011 through 2014. A review of warranty data led to an FCA U.S. investigation that discovered the problem. FCA says it is aware of one potentially related accident, but no injuries. The shields are designed to keep water away from the boosters, lest it cause corrosion or freeze in cold temperatures and negatively affect brake performance. Brakes will still function even if boosters are compromised by water, FCA says, but drivers may experience brake-pedal firmness. In some cases, a potential booster issue may trigger a warning light or activation of the anti-lock brakes. Customers who've observed any of those conditions are urged to contact their dealers. The automaker says it plans to notify affected owners that free service to check and repair the issue if necessary will be available in early November.

2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility dominates Michigan State Police testing

Thu, Oct 4 2018

The Michigan State Police has released its preliminary findings from testing the 2019 crop of police vehicles, and the results are a bit surprising. The consistent top performer of the bunch was the 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, better known to civilians as the Ford Explorer. Specifically, the top performer was the model with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. The Michigan State Police conducts acceleration, top speed, braking and lap time tests of all the available police vehicles. The 3.0-liter Police Interceptor Utility was the fastest to 60 mph at 5.77 seconds, had the highest top speed of 150 mph, and the best average lap time of 1:36.47. The lap time was particularly impressive as it was just over half a second faster than the next quickest car, the all-wheel-drive V8 Charger. View 13 Photos Still, the 2019 Dodge Charger gave the Explorer a serious run for its money. The all-wheel-drive V8 Charger was only 0.1 seconds behind the Explorer to 60 mph with a time of 5.87 seconds, and the rear-drive version was third quickest at 6.15 seconds. Both V8 Chargers were only 1 mph off of the Explorer's top speed, and the V6 example was third fastest at 141 mph. We already mentioned the all-wheel-drive V8 Charger was half a second off the Explorer's lap time, and the rear-drive variant was just over 1 second behind, giving it the third fastest average time. Dodge also took home braking bragging rights. The V6 Charger won out with a distance of 126.9 feet, followed by the rear-drive V8 Charger with 128 feet, and the V6 Durango Pursuit stopping at 128.8 feet. Now of course where there are winners, there are also losers. The slowest accelerating police car was the Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan, better known as the Fusion Hybrid, with a time of 9.24 seconds. At 8.59 seconds was the V6 Dodge Durango, and the V8 Chevy Tahoe with four-wheel-drive was third slowest at 7.98 seconds. Lowest top speed was 106 mph with the Ford F-150 Police Responder with the 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, followed by the V6 and V8 Durangos with 117- and 118-mph top speeds respectively. In braking, the Chevy Tahoes performed the worst with the rear-drive version stopping at 145.7 feet and the four-wheel-drive version stopping at 142.5 feet. The F-150 followed with 141.9 feet. When it came to lap times, the Fusion Hybrid lapped the slowest with a time of 1:46.31. The V6 Durango was about a second faster with a time of 1:45.45.

SRT partners with Bondurant for performance driving classes

Fri, Nov 6 2015

Dodge and Bob Bondurant have announced a new partnership that will see the latter become the former's official high-performance driving school. The deal will see the Bondurant school's entire fleet of nearly 100 vehicles switched over from mostly General Motors products to Dodge Chargers, Challengers, and Vipers. It will give paying customers the chance to drive models like the new Hellcats and even the Viper ACR (for those deemed qualified to drive it) on the track in Arizona. The arrangement won't only benefit Bondurant clients, though. Anyone who buys or leases a new SRT model will get a one-day course at the school, including professional instruction on track. They'll have to pay for their own travel and accommodations, but the instruction will hopefully show more drivers of SRT vehicles how to handle all that muscle they've got at their disposal.
