1933 Dodge Brothers on 2040-cars
Boerne, Texas, United States
|
1933 Dodge Brothers Pickup., Chopped channeled and shaved to perfection, Earlier restoration of the body, The paint is in good condition and is very showable, It just won 1st place at a car show here in San Antonio with about 200 cars on Fathers day. The Trophy goes with the truck as I am sure it will be the first of many trophies won.
I bought the truck at auction about a year ago and started work on it. Added an brand new motor, a 350 that I had built by a former drag racing crew chief. Its a 350 with custom Alloy heads with 200 fuel rails roller lifters and a matched cam. Flat top 10.5 to 1 pistons with a custom crank and bearings. 750 Holley double pumper with an electronic ignition set up. New headers and exhaust system. It dynode at 413 HP and for a 1400 lb truck thats more than needed. a custom 3000 stall and a racing 3 speed trans with Locar shifter. Dolphin Gauges a new billet collum with a new custom wheel, A very nice wood dash and a stereo for some road tunes. Power windows and a nice custom interior. I had a complete brand new brake system installed with all new rotors drums and master cylinder, I had new brake lines installed and new fittings. It has a 9 inch rear end and new shocks. The exhaust is custom built with hugger headers and chrome and stainless fittings, because the truck sits so low i had NASCAR oval stainless exhaust pipe ran and if you have ever priced that stuff it was not cheap. I have been a gear head all my life and this is the first Dodge Brothers I have ever seen so I did a little research. In 1929 the Dodge brothers both died and the company was sold to the Chrysler family. sales of trucks back then was very low and Mr Chrysler wanted to boost sales and also honer the two Dodge Brothers. So in 1933 Mr Chrysler decided to build what he called the glamor truck, He took the sheet metal from the 1933 Dodge Automobile and used it on the pickup in an effort to make the trucks more car like. He also commissioned an artist to make a hood ornament for the truck line. So as you see 1933 was the first Dodge Ram. The Dodge Brothers truck line was produced from 1933 to 1935 and then the name was shortened to Dodge. There were 99,000 plus of these trucks built and over the years the numbers have dwindled to just a few left. most are in collections and if you look for Dodge Brothers pickups you will not find any and what you do find will either be a basket case or in the very high price range, the few show trucks I have found were listed at close to 100K . This pickup is not perfect, it does have a scratch here and there and a few chips in the paint, If you invest in paint this truck will sell in the 80s but I felt the paint is just too nice to redo now. I do not need to sell this truck but I have found another project I want to do and if I am going to do it I need the garage space. This truck is very rare and will win everything you enter it in as now one has seen anything like it, So if you are a guy that wants to be the center of attention and have a big crowd around your Hot rod this is the one for you |

What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.
Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes
Wed, 05 Jun 2013What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.
2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.
