1961 Dodge W300 Powerwagon 4x4 on 2040-cars
Blaine, Washington, United States
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. |

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
Dodge Charger Pursuit nets quickest lap in police car test
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We wouldn't advocate trying to outrun the police, no matter what you're driving and no matter what they are. But if you see a Dodge Charger bearing down on you with blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror, you'd better think twice before attempting to flee, because the Charger Pursuit has once again emerged as the fastest police cruiser out there.
In the latest Police Vehicle Evaluation held by the Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway, Dodge says its new Charger Pursuit AWD posted a lap time of 1:33.85. That's quicker than any of the other law enforcement vehicles present, but also makes it the quickest all-wheel-drive cruiser available to law-enforcement officials. That may not make it the quickest of all time, but that honor belongs to the rear-drive Dodge Charger Pursuit, which cuts a fraction of a second off its AWD counterpart's time with a 1:33.70. But in regions where the extra traction could come in handy, that's as negligible a difference as we've ever seen.
Of course, the annual PVE sessions held by the Michigan State Police take in to account a wide variety of performance tests, including top speed, acceleration, braking, handling, fuel economy and ergonomics. The MSP has yet to reveal its full findings from its 2014 model year tests, but we'll be sure to bring them to you when they are published.
Jay Leno gets his denim mitts on Dodge's new Challenger Hellcat
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The 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?
