Plymouth Sunrader Pickup, One Of A Kind? Very Rare. Mini Truck Dually on 2040-cars
Clearlake, California, United States
This is a two owner very rare 1981 Plymouth Arrow Pickup with a Sunrader conversion.(Sunrader is most commonly known for doing RV conversions and full RVs). This truck was rescued from a barn in Northern California where it was stored for more than two decades. It was picked up from the original owners with the original "pink slip" and every registration from new. It comes with the original owners manual and an original repair manual.
As far as I can tell this may very well be the only one left of an unknown quantity of them converted ( I can't find any information on these anywhere). The truck is an original California car and was purchased from a dealership in Oakland Ca. and has spent its whole life in Northern California. Some of the unique features of this truck are that the frame has been professionally stretched nearly 36" and is fully supported. This was done in order to accommodate the very large extended cab that was fitted to a stock cab that had the entire center section of the roof and back of the cab cut out. It also has been converted to a dually with the help of the rear wheels that are a one piece design that holds two tires on one wheel. The bed is fitted with fender extensions to house the double wheels. Inside of the cab is fully covered in the original brown vinyl and the original tan carpet that has been faded a bit. The original front seats are also available if the buyer wants them ( they are not in good condition from sitting for so long with no attention and are a high back style captains seat). I replaced them with a set of tan Pontiac Fiero seats that need some fabric work. It still retains the original bench seat in the rear of the cab that also needs fabric work.Has matching vinyl door panels. Has large windows in the sides of the fiberglass extension that has the lower portion that opens and closes up above is a lexan window that needs some attention. I have updated the am radio to a newer CD player with an amp under the back seat and two 10" Pioneer subs behind the rear seat. It sounds nice with 6.5" speakers in the doors. I have the original steering wheel but I have replaced it with a rare 12" Grant signature series wheel. All lights work as they should with the exception of the rear cargo light (bulb?). The engine is bone stock with a new radiator and oil change and I believe it is still running the original cap rotor and wires. Runs like a champ. The transmission is a four speed and has a very good clutch but again its original as far as I know. I took off the original tires that were date coded 4/6/80 and replaced them with new low profile tires (6 of them), the tires sport a full set of original port-a-wall white walls for looks. The truck has been lowered three inches all around with lowering blocks in the rear and cut springs up front. Has a few scratches and a dent in the front right fender not bad though, the front bumper needs work as well as the front apron that can all be found on Ebay for cheap. The paint is original warm white and is faded from sitting with no attention. This truck runs well and would drive anywhere. I have these original parts for the truck that I will include, if the buyer wants them: Stock hubcaps (4), stock steering wheel,stock shift knob, stock conversion seats. I have also included a picture of it in stock dress. Buyer is responsible for local pick up and/or shipping!! |

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos
Wed, 21 May 2014Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily
Wed, 19 Nov 2014In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
