1955 Dodge B-1 Power Wagon, 230ci 6cyl, First Mass Produced Civilian 4x4, Fully Restored Beauty!

Beautiful Navy Blue on Black Dodge 4x4!

Here is probably one of the rarest vehicles I have ever had the chance to bring to market for sale. This vehicle is a super rare 1955 Dodge B-1 Power Wagon. These trucks were the first mass produced 4x4 offered to the public. These trucks were scooped up by returning GIs who had learned about Dodge truck strength and dependability on the battlefields of Europe. The truck is essentially a civilian bodied military vehicle and uses all of the same underpinnings. 5058 of these trucks were built in 1955, and very few of these trucks have survived the severe conditions and workloads most operated on. This truck lived its life in the southwest and was restored in Arizona in 2003. The truck received a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration back to its original glory. The mileage is believed to be original at only a bit over 37,000 miles. It was believed the truck spent many years of its life as a tow truck, hence the circular holes in the side of the bed where the tow rig levers stuck out.

The following is a list of options as this Power Wagon is currently equipped:

-Original Date Correct 230ci T137 Inline 6cyl

-4 Speed Manual Transmission

-2 Speed Transfer Case

-Added Front Locking Hubs

-Front and Rear PTO

-Original Braden PTO Winch

-Correct Non-Directional All Terrain Tires

-Matching Spare

-Original Fuel Can

-All Original Steel Body and Floors

-Original Gauges

The body on the Rig is totally solid and rust free. I have inspected the body and can not find a single spot of rust or repair patches whatsoever. It is finished in Navy Blue with Black fenders. The truck was restored and repainted several years back and fenders, running boards, and tailgate were all replaced. The paint job was done to a driver spec and not a lot of time or money was spent on body prep and blocking. The paint itself is in great shape with no cracking or aging, but there are imperfections and dings which the painter just sprayed over. All new rubbers were used when the glass was put back in. This Power Wagon was spared a life in damp climate and has remained solid throughout the years. The body and floors are in excellent condition for its age and look as good underneath as it does on top. A new set of military tires were installed in 2003 when the full restoration was done.

The interior is very clean and correct. It was restored using correct materials and looks as close to original as you can get. Everything works correctly including the horn and vacuum power window wipers. Odometer and speedo turn as they should and all other gauges work as well. Even the reproduction info tags are on the dash. New window felts and door bumpers have been installed as well as a new leather shifter cover on the floor.

Mechanically, this Power Wagon runs GREAT! The drive train was gone through in 2003 including a full rebuild on the original engine and head. The truck always starts right up with no issues or smoke. Transmission was checked and re-sealed, an differentials and transfer case were checked. Electrical system was gone through new generator and fresh battery. The brake system was just completely gone through including all new lines, brake shoes, and master cylinder. The front Braden winch even still works as it should. I personally just did a full tune up, dropped the tank, had it professionally cleaned, installed a new fuel sender and got her running like a top! The truck is tight as a drum and does not leak a single drop of any fluid!

All in all, this is one of the cleanest and well restored Power Wagons on the market. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This truck is a fantastic example and will be the envy of any true military or truck collector! Any further questions or information about this vehicle please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.

Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.

Dodge whips covers off 2013 Blacktop series

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

Dodge introduced us to its Blacktop model lineup a year ago with the 2012 Charger and followed up with more recently with the 2013 Challenger and 2013 Avenger. Now the automaker will be applying this ominous-looking treatment to the Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey models for 2013 as well. These models will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Dodge has released most of the details for these new products including pricing and availability.
If the Grand Caravan R/T (aka, the Man Van) wasn't aggressive enough for you or its $30,000 starting price was a little too pricey, then the 2013 Grand Caravan Blacktop could be the ticket. Starting with the SXT trim level (which stickers at $19,995), the Blacktop package costs only $595, and adds unique features such as blacked-out headlights, grille and fog lights bezels and an all-black interior. The van rides on black-accented, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Grand Caravan Blacktop is only available in monochromatic paint schemes limited to Billet Silver, Brilliant Black, Maximum Steel, Redline Red and Stone White
Likewise, the 2013 Journey Blacktop is offered only on the SXT model (starting at $18,995) with all of the crossover's normal options such as four- and six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating and front- or all-wheel drive. The Blacktop package adds $995 to the Journey SXT's price and features many of the same black accents as the Grand Caravan like the headlights, grille, door mirrors and lower fascia. Exterior colors are limited to Bright Silver, Bright Red, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red Tri-Coat, White, Pearl White Tri-Coat and Storm Grey, and the package's 19-inch wheels come in Gloss Black. Inside, the Journey Blacktop comes standard with black cloth seats and Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen, but black leather is also available as an option.
