1974 Dodge D100 Old Shop Truck Awesome Patina Rat Rod Cragar Ss No Reserve on 2040-cars

1974 Dodge D100 old shop truck with awesome patina Well, here is a Dodge D100 shop truck for sale. It’s so ugly that it’s beautiful. It really has that patina that people seem to be looking for in a shop truck or rat-rod. She is a reliable driver – just bump the key and go. She gets a lot of attention – if you want stealthy, this isn’t for you. The truck runs and drives well with its 225 slant six engine and automatic trans. The brakes are power assisted front disc and rear drums and I would not hesitate to fire it up and drive it around the local community here. I drive it to and from the auto parts store and other local errands. Be aware that the tires are getting old and I am seeing cracks, so before any substantial journey, it really should be tended to. The set of 4 Cragar SS wheels are straight and have a matching patina. Note also that the windshield is starting to fog, so that should be in your plans. It has new brake lines. The dash gauges (fuel and DC ammeter) work fine and the previous owner added a 3-way gauge setup under the dash including oil pressure, water temp and volts – and these work well, too. The truck runs cool and constant temp and oil pressure. The dash is in ugly shape and there is no radio and the seat is covered with a simple cover since the original seat upholstery is falling apart – perfect. The horn button is a replacement and is mounted on the lower dash area – and yes, it works. Technically, she could use some attention. The frame rails are in good shape – could use a wire brush, and it should get floor pans on both sides. I have 2 pieces of sheetmetal in the floors now and I have seen the replacement panels as cheap as $34 here on ebay. I drive it as-is. Obviously, there is some rust here and there, but that’s what gives it it’s character. Operationally, the headlights, taillights, blinkers and even the reverse lights and tag light works. The right turn signal – you have to hold the lever in position – I presume it should get a switch at some point, but it still works. The windshield wipers do not – the motor works, but the wiper linkage needs attention; you can see the passenger wiper sitting on the floor in one of the pictures. The bed was originally wood plank (and you can see this from the under-pictures) but has a piece of diamond plate in the bed now. She has a clear MD title – and in some weird twist the MVA years ago had titled it as a 1970! So, don’t be surprised when you see that on the title – the VIN matches the door, the lock pillar and the title – all matching. The VIN decode indicates it is a 1974 model. As the auction states, this is cash only (other than the PayPal deposit). If you want to pay for the entire truck via PayPal, you can – but that requires that you add the PayPal fee that would be charged to me – about 3% additional. It can be picked up from my home in East Baltimore. If you want it shipped, I can meet your assigned shipping truck locally, no problem. |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
