Grass Lake, Michigan, United States
|
Up for sale is a very nice 1938 Dodge pickup. This truck was built over the winter by Altered Image and it was a ground up build. It is ground down raw metal with 3 coats of semi gloss clear sprayed over top. I have had the truck at quite a few shows this year and have received a few trophies and tons of interest from people and other builders. I have put about 650 miles on the truck since it was finished and it runs and drives really nice for what it is. The truck runs along great at 65-70 mph on the expressway and you can idle in traffic all day and the temp with stay around 180-190 degrees. The truck drives straight down the road and corners very nice.90% of the truck consist of new parts and I have all receipts for the complete build as well as a ton of pictures that will go to the new owner. Just for reference I am 6' tall and roughly 180 pounds and I drive the truck everywhere.
As for the truck here are some of the details. Chassis / Suspension: The frame is built out of 2''x4'' tubing, z'd front and rear, x bracing under the cab and all plated in 1/4'' plate. The frame is very well built. Front axle is a Lucky 7 4'' drop axle, 28-48 spindles, Speedway disc brake conversion, traditional radius arms, all suspension and steering bars consist of 5/8'' heim joints, mono leaf front spring, rear axle is disc brake Ford, coil springs in the rear, 4 linked rear with a J bar. Engine / Trans: The motor is a small block chevy that has been bored .30 over and is now a 355ci. Some parts are pro comp intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, Comp Cams .500 lift cam, comp cam lifters, comp cam hardened push rods, meling high volume oil pump, GM crank and rods, Comp cam double roller timing chain, heavy duty flywheel, small GM starter, small distributor, Gilmer belt and pully set, finned aluminum tall valve covers and air cleaner, K&N air filter, 2000 stall convertor, billet trans pan, braided kickdown cable, and tons of little aftermarkets. Interior: The interior is simple but clean with the floor channeled about 5'', sheet metal bomber seats built to fit the cab, 3/4'' steering with all star pull off steering wheel adapter, 14'' Long acre steering wheel, aluminum gauge panel with gauges consisting of volts, temp., oil pressure, and fuel level. Also worked into the panal are you turn signal and high beam indicators. The glove box is a nice storage spot as well and it is 12''wide x 7'' deep x 7'' tall with a cigarette lighter in it to charge your phone or run your gps. There are lap belts and I installed new style latches in the doors so when you shut the door it latches and your not going to fall out. The door handles and window cranks all function and there is door glass in both doors that you can roll up. Other: The fuel cell is 15 gallons, the headers were built to clear the steering. There 1 7/8'' to 3'' collectors with 10'' mufflers and the turn down tips. The rims are 17x7 and I just installed NEW tires the other day that are 235/55R17. These have about 30 miles on them now. The tail lights are early 30's ford and they are tinted as well as the front turn signals. There is just so much going on with the truck that everywhere you look you will notice something. That was the best part of the build and all the little detail. It is very neat and gets tons of attention. This is great to take to shows, Cruises, or just to do a little grocery shopping. I do have the truck for sale locally as well as online. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call at 989-529-5485. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs but I will help in any way I can with a shipper to make it easier. Thanks for looking. |

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack adds power and noise, with a warranty
Thu, 17 Apr 2014If you want to go fast, there's certainly nothing wrong with the Dodge Challenger SRT8. With 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque for 2014, there's certainly not much to complain about. But what if you want something more aftermarket in flavor? There's no shortage of options, but while turning to the tuner world will make your car plenty fast, that extra power won't just shred rear tires, it'll torch your warranty, as well. That's where Dodge's Scat Pack comes in.
With three stages of mods for both the 5.7 and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s Challenger (as well as the 5.7-liter Charger and, soon, the four-pot Dart), the Scat Pack cars give drivers all the power, aggression and noise of a heavily modded aftermarket car while maintaining the piece of mind provided by the Dodge warranty.
Power gets bumped up to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque with the 6.4-liter Scat Pack, while the 5.7-liter can provide up to 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque to add to the stock engine's 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet. It's the latter engine that can really get some work done, with upgrades ranging from the mundane - intake and exhaust - to the racy, like the ported heads and high-flow headers.
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.
2013 Dodge Dart GT offers subtle menace in compact form
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Dodge has already shared all of the relevant information about its all-new 2013 Dart GT, but it wasn't until now that we've seen the car, live and in person. The slightly meaner front fascia and bigger wheels look great on the Dodge, and the red-on-black perforated seats are sporting in an aftermarket sort of way.
To recap: The Dart GT also gets a bit more power, using a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine to make 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. A starting price of $20,995 will get you LED taillights, dual exhaust, an 8.4-inch touchscreen and a 7.0-inch TFT display.
Feel free to re-acquaint yourselves with the full Dodge Dart GT information in the press release below, or have a leisurely browse through our gallery of live images.
