Hello Everyone! You are looking at a beautiful and extremely rare truck. I had to look for one of these for a very long time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to devote any time towards making it my dream truck, with the exception of the wheels and tires. I purchased the wheels off eBay, and the tires are brand new (less than 500 miles on them). The truck is in great condition. The previous and original owner took excellent care of it (evidenced by the engine bay and interior). When I purchased it, it had the transmission issue. I've put about 1500 miles on it, including an 800 mile round trip across the Midwest. The transmission makes noise when the clutch is out, and in every gear with the exception of fourth. Some gears are worse than others. My point is this: I felt comfortable driving it a considerable distance.
Here are some pros:
-Extremely hard to find: V-8, 5-SPD manual transmission, 2WD, Regular Cab.
-Extremely clean engine bay
-Fresh oil change at 112,000
-New 255/55/17 tires (less than 500 miles)
-Interior is in excellent condition, with the exception of stains on the rear portion (close to seat) of the carpet
-Engine runs great! These 318 ci/ 5.2L V8s are known for their longevity. The previous and original owner took excellent care of this vehicle.
-Averaged 19 MPG on 800 mile road trip (this is really good considering 3.9 axle ratio)
-Limited Slip rear diff
-9.25" Chrysler rear end
-Nice throaty rumble from an aftermarket Borla cat-back exhaust (sounds really burblely when throttle is closed and slowing down!!)
-Has a really nice cover that latches in and rolls up easily.
Cons:
-Some light rust over rear wheel (visible in picture)
-Small indentations on hood (not visible in pictures)
-Transmission is making noise (not a clutch issue)
In closing, I know this beautiful truck will find a great home. If you're interested and want to know more, message me. I tried to make a video of the noise, and it was not audible over the exhaust.
Vehicle is sold AS-IS. I have made the utmost attempt to describe the vehicle in detail.

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.
QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football
Fri, 16 May 2014The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.
Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.
