Sweptside, D100, 315, Dodge, Power Wagon, D 500, Hemi,custom on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
Up for sale is one Very rare Dodge D100 Sweptside pick up truck. I am selling this truck for my friend who I have sold 40 other cars for. She is the Widow of a collector and found herself with a vast array of old cars when her Husband passed. This is the last one and by far one of the rarest. This truck was custom built at the factory by the Dodge Special Equipment group(SEG). These were hand crafted trucks built to compete with the Chevy Cameo. SEG took 1957 Dodge station wagon fenders from the assembly line and custom built the beds, tailgate, bumpers and body trim. Making only 180 of these in 1957, approximately 75 remain in the world. This truck was restored 90% about 7 or 8 years ago. I don't think it has been driven much since the restoration. The gas was going bad in it when i got it. I drained and cleaned the tank, had the carb rebuilt, flushed the lines etc, gave it a tune up and it runs and drives great. I also had the power steering pump rebuilt, it works decent but there might still be some work needed in the system. Classic Pushbutton 3 speed transmission works and shifts very well. I feel like overall the truck needs a once over just to make sure any bolts and such weren't left loose. Things like the horn and radio need to be hooked up, etc. I noticed the rubber bushings on the rear leaf spring shackles need to be replaced. But like i said it drives surprisingly well for a old 50's truck. Visibility is really good with the wrap around windows, you can see everything. Oh and you will be seen too. This truck attracts a lot of attention wherever it goes. I've had housewives yell at me going down the road " Nice truck Mister!". I took it to Bob's Big boy here in California and guys hadn't seen one of these trucks in 30+ years. Did I say Rare?
Anyhow here are the goods the bads and the unknowns: GOOD: Have clear california title Pretty Decent paint job, Looks good from 5'. Is actually pretty good shape. I think it was mostly covered since it was painted, However i did find a few drips in the interior paint and some chips where the hood rubbed on the body. Chrome and Stainless are in great shape, either they were re-plated or are still in very good original shape. Drive train: Engine runs well and strong, I don't know if it was rebuilt, but it doesn't smoke and has new freeze plugs and paint. One might assume that it was rebuilt. I have not done a compression test. Transmission: Drives and shifts well. E brake on drive shaft works. Rear end: seems fine Brakes are good All glass is good New interior and upholstery BAD and UNKNOWN: Depth of restoration unknown Found a rust hole in inside rear fender left side and a repair right side, not sure if exterior fender had a repair/hole. Front fenders, floors, and frame look fine. Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you are in the area, your are welcome to come take a look at the vehicle. You won't be let down, she's a beauty. |

Daily Driver: 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
Tue, May 26 2015Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers who drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, reviewed by Greg Migliore. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [00:00:00] Hey, everybody. It's Greg Migliore and today I am driving a 707-horsepower Dodge Charger. That can only mean one thing: I'm driving the Hellcat. Naturally, the spotlight feature of this car is the 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. Makes 707 horsepower and 650 pound feet of torque. [00:00:30] Now naturally the engine sounds great and you can hear all of those horses going out the exhaust in back, which I think the Dodge guys have tuned really well. I think it's got one of the more unique sounds in the industry. All that horsepower will do that, but they've tuned it so there's a low kind of growl, and then it burbles and it's angry [00:01:00], it's visceral. I like it. It's intoxicating. It's different than other muscle cars. It's different than European exotics. I think it sounds great. I'm driving in sport right now which allows me to use the paddle shifters. I think it sounds a little better and the shifts of the eight-speed automatic transmission are a little bit more aggressive. For such a powerful car, Dodge did a nice job of tuning it to be actually pretty drivable. I just took a corner right there and the [00:01:30] steering offers you satisfying weight to your inputs. It's a little bit of a heavier steering, especially compared to some of the earlier generation Chargers. It's sporty, but it's not crazy. The design of the Dodge Charger is a critical element. That's why a lot of people buy this car, is it gives them that muscle car heritage look. The Hellcat has some special design cues that are also functional. You've got a couple of extra air intakes up front, keeps everything cool and breathing, the air flowing through; a nice spoiler in back [00:02:00] that helps keep the aero, and the downforce keeps you on the ground. The HID projector headlights really pop, especially at night, and in back you've got the LED taillights that spread out wide across the back end of this car like some of the great Chargers of the past. This car rolls on 20-inch black wheels with a spiderweb design. I think they look good. They're kind of low-key, which I think is great.

From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV.

Here are the cars Fast 8 characters will drive in Iceland
Tue, Jun 28 2016The eighth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise will feature some characteristic wheel-to-wheel adventuring, this time on Icelandic ice. As revealed by the F&F production team, here are some of the vehicles that will be seen in the film. What else could Dominic Toretto drive than a Dodge? The previous film showed a Charger fitted for off-road driving, and this time the classic shape has been formed into an ice racer. The muscle car is still recognizable, but the altered wheelbase and fender flares make this something quite different. And as the bullet holes testify, the matte black machine is definitely going to see some action. Letty drives a Local Motors Rally Fighter, which might be the best fit for the ice scenes. The off-road coupe has been modified with a brush bar and some serious roof-mounted lights. Roman will be seen behind the wheel of an orange Lamborghini Murcielago, easily standing out in the frozen wastes. To top it off, there are some tank-like machines: There's a tracked Ripsaw for Tej Parker and an "Ice Ram" for Hobbs, who is played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Both of these look like mean machines, and on the screen they'll probably prove to be the admission ticket's worth.
