Very Rare 1961 Dodge W300 Power Wagon with Braden LU2 PTO Winch.
The 61 was the first year for this body style & although I've been collecting them for many years, this is the only 61 I've ever owned...there were less than 500 built & very few remaining on the planet. The 1961 can be identified by the unique aluminum grill. It's a beautiful truck, it has 4.88 gears, Dana 70 front & rear axles, & it has a new 225 slant 6, Brand new Michelin 11.00 x 16 Radials 
The truck has undergone much restoration over the past year. The chassis was completely disassembled every nut & bolt, stripped, painted with marine epoxy & reassembled with all new brake lines, fuel lines, shocks etc. The chassis was fully restored including rebuilt engine, transmission, new clutch, brakes, etc, etc. I have pictures of the restoration & will post as many as I can.
The body of the truck was restored by a friend & collector in the Seattle, WA area several years ago & is an excellent driver quality job. Everything was disassembled & painted, new white oak wood in the bed. The truck was used by him during the renovation of his home & so this is no trailer queen. It's real purdy & it gets comments everywhere it goes but it has marks & scratches, the paint is not flawless by any means but I have only ever seen a couple of W300's in my 20 years of collecting that are as nice as this one. She'd hold her own at any truck show :)
The Interior is excellent, the seat reupholstered & looks like new, new winch cable & winch engagement handle. Extremely presentable under the hood....It's as nice of a W300 as you'll find short of finding one that's underwent a $60k restoration & there's less than 500 miles on the mechanical restoration since the chassis was restored.
Tons of money & hundreds of hours have gone into this truck.
There's tons more pics of this truck I can send you or if you have requests of anything in particular, don't hesitate to email me or we can make arrangements to talk on the phone if you'd like more info or history on her.
I've restored many trucks over the past 20 or so years, many bought & sold here on Ebay with perfect feedback, as you can see.
I have no time for any goofballs or shenanigans. This is a beautiful machine, it's going to sell because I'm putting no reserve on it...so be nice!! I've always hated reserve price auctions...that isn't an auction is it? :) For you guys not wanting to wait 7 days, I added a buy it now but regardless, it will sell within 7 days.
Any questions I get, I'll try to post answers for everyone to read, so check back but please, just email & I can give you my number if you're a serious bidder & have questions or would like to see the truck in person. 
The truck is located in Vancouver, BC but it is Titled in Texas & will be delivered to Blaine, WA 98230 with Clear TX Title where it can be picked up by your transporter of choice & I can also help with arranging shipping for you if needed.
It's possible I could deliver the truck down as far as Northern California in June for fuel costs if you're not in a huge hurry for it.
Good luck bidding & thanks very much for your interest!
I'll post better pictures over the Weekend when I get some time.

Rare Dodge Daytona found in barn heads for auction

Tue, Dec 15 2015

An American icon is headed to Mecum's Kissimmee, Florida auction next January. Charlie Lyons, owner of a restoration shop focused on old Chrysler products, got a lead on a two-owner 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona that had been sitting in a barn in Glenwood, Alabama for decades. Dodge built 560 Charger Daytonas (Canada and US production) to homologate the model for NASCAR racing, and then that car and the successor Plymouth Superbird terrorized NASCAR tracks for 18 months. The production car, however, 18 feet long and considered ugly, wasn't popular at the time, so many were beat up or simply disappeared. Around 385 are thought to exist today. Lyons said the first owner of this car was the town judge, who bought it for his wife. In 1974 the second owner - just 18 years old at the time - bought it for $1,800 so he could drive it to Panama City, Florida, for Spring Break, and had flames painted on the front fenders and the scallops trimmed in white. Otherwise this barn find is complete and stock, with matching numbers throughout, R4 Charger Red paint and a white tail, bucket seats, center console, three-speed TorqueFlite automatic, and 20,553 miles on the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8. Hot Rod has the long story of how Lyons found the car and convinced the owner to sell for what he jokingly called "a shoebox full of folded money." Hagerty says a concours-worthy model can command $262,000. Mecum's pre-sale estimate for this Charger Daytona is $150,000 to $180,000. That sounds steep, but Mecum did sell another perfectly restored Hemi-powered 1969 Charger Daytona for $900,000 at this year's Kissimmee auction to actor David Spade. Related Video:

Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.

Cold start comparison: 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio vs. 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8

Thu, May 7 2020

The 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is a five-seat, compact luxury sport sedan packing 505 horsepower thanks to a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6. My personal 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is ... well ... not. It's a full-sized muscle coupe whose iron-block 6.4-liter V8 makes 470 hp in the very traditional way: it's freakin' huge, like everything else about the car.  On paper, these two have nothing in common beyond the fact that they were built by the same multi-national manufacturing entity.  But if paper were the be-all and end-all of automotive rankings, everybody would buy the same car. And we don't, especially as enthusiasts. Whether it's looks or tuning or vague "intangibles" or something as simple as the way a car sounds, we often put a priority on the things that trigger our emotions rather than setting out to simply buy whatever the "best" car is at that particular moment.  So, what do these two have in common? They both sound really, really good. Like looks, sounds are subjective. While a rubric most assuredly exists in the world of marketing (attraction is as much a science as any other human response), we have no way of objectively scoring the beauty of either of these cars, and the same applies to the qualities of the sound waves being emitted through their tail pipes.  But we can measure how loud they are. In fact, there's even an app for that. Dozens, as it turns out. So, I picked one at random that recorded peak loudness levels, and set off to conduct an entirely pointless and only vaguely scientific experiment with the two cars that happened to be in my garage at the same time.  For the test, I opened up a window and cracked the garage door (so as not to inflict carbon monoxide poisoning upon myself in the name of discovery), and then placed my phone on a tripod behind the center of each car's trunk lid. I fired each one up and let the app do the rest. I then placed my GoPro on top of the trunk for each test so that I could review the video afterward for any anomalies.  I started with the Challenger. The 6.4-liter Hemi under the hood of this big coupe is essentially the same lump found under the hood of quite a few Ram pickups, and it has the accessories to prove it. Its starter is loud and distinctive. Almost as loud, it turns out, as the exhaust itself. As its loud pew-pew faded behind the V8's barking cold start, we recorded a peak of 83.7 decibels. In the app's judgment, that's roughly the equivalent of a busy street.
