1955 Dodge Pickup -- for the person that has to have something a little different than a Chevy or Ford!

For 1950s pickups, this truck is a fairly uncommon one! When was the last time you saw one, either stock original or customized? I have seen very few in my lifetime growing up in the 60s and 70s. Typically you'll see a Chevy or a Ford at the car shows, but almost never a Dodge of this vintage. For 1955, Dodge updated the styling of their trucks to be more competitive with Ford and Chevy, but they were coming from behind in the styling dept (though engineering was rock solid). This 1955 Dodge truck quickly got them up to speed. Most of these Dodge trucks have the longer highside bed (116"), but this truck has the short lowside bed (108"). This gives it a very high appeal as a restored or customized truck for today's collector market. 1955 was the first year that Dodge offered V8 engines in their pickups. Originally, this was a 6 cyl truck, but it currently has a V8 engine in it (the engine is a 318 Poly V8 "Wideblock", about 1964 vintage). The truck is mostly straight and rust free. The only major body damage is on the rear fender, driver's side. There is a little rust on the bottom of the doors, but the cab floors are solid. The pickup bed is all present, but in old worn condition. Most of the pickups of this vintage that you see are Fords and Chevys, and the Dodge brand is fairly uncommon today. Dodge redesigned the pilothouse trucks for 1954, then added a true wrap around windshield for 1955 and the more modern rear fender design greatly added appeal compared to the earlier Dodge Pilothouse trucks. Dodge did maintain the butterfly hood through 1956 which was getting to be a dated style. The pickup has not been run for years, but with basic maintenance for proper startup, it should run.

The exact prior history of the truck is unknown. It has been in the eastern Washington area for the past 10-15 years though. Last driven about 6 or 7 years ago. I have owned it for over a year, but have other projects in mind to pursue.

I do accept Paypal, buyer pays all transaction fees. Full payment must be received within 5 days of end of auction. No zero feedback bidders. Buyer is responsible for the shipping and related arrangements though I will provide reasonable help on my end to ready the pickup for transport. No warranties on any part of the vehicle is given or implied. Please contact me with any questions and I will do my best to supply the info to you.

Thanks for bidding on this pickup!

Jay Leno gets his denim mitts on Dodge's new Challenger Hellcat

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is definitely the performance car of the moment. The fact that in the near future, people will be able to buy a 707-horsepower muscle machine straight from a major automaker for $59,995 and with a factory warranty almost seems absurd. We drove it recently and found the Hellcat to be just as much of a beast as its numbers would suggest. Now, it's a certain comedian's turn behind the wheel in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
This week's guest is Dodge President and CEO Tim Kuniskis, and he's there to drop all sorts of interesting factoids about the Hellcat. For example, its Pirelli P Zero tires retail at around $300 each, he says. That makes its smoky burnouts a rather expensive proposition. Kuniskis, who recently hinted at a mystery Woodward Dream Cruise debut, also talks about the genesis of the 2015 SRT project with a goal to get over some of the standard Challenger's weight and size disadvantages. The fix is a supercharged V8, massive brakes and other goodies to smooth over the platform's more glaring shortcomings.
Leno appears to get a big kick out of the Hellcat. However, he can't seem to stop bringing up his desire to drive one with a six-speed manual. They obviously exist, but Kuniskis has an eight-speed automatic for the retired Tonight Show host to try out. Of course, as with any Hellcat video, there has to be at least one burnout. Despite the expensive tires, it seems like enthusiast's law at this point - and dear ol' Jay wouldn't want to break any rules, would he?

Dodge launches 1 of 1 Viper configurator

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Get comfortable because you might be spending a good chunk of time in front of the computer on this. The configurator for the 2015 Dodge Viper GTC 1 of 1 is now online, and it's a ton of fun to play around with. Mechanically, the GTC is just like every current Viper with a 645-horsepower, 8.4-liter V10. But for the special editions Dodge lets buyers tinker with practically everything aesthetic thing. For the exterior alone, the choices include some 8,000 available body colors, two stripe styles in innumerable shades, two hood designs and various brake caliper hues. Plus, there are 16 upholstery colors inside, and options like red seat belts and carbon fiber trim. Dodge reckons there are over 25 million possible combinations, and the models are available to customers on a first-come-first serve basis for each model year. Although, two people wanting identical cars seems pretty unlikely. The configurator is a beauty too. It makes all of these myriad options extremely easy to pick from, and there are even four resolution settings to see your creation in the best possible way. Prices for the GTC start at $94,995 and deliveries are set to start in the second quarter of the year. Although, even if you have no intention of buying one, specifying these custom coupes is still highly entertaining.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon

Fri, 23 May 2014

This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
