1953 Dodge Pickup. Frame Off restoration. All panels were painted both both sides prior to re-assembly. Rear fenders have Rhino Lining underneath. Truck is originally from Minnesota. Was in storage from 1975 until I bought it. Restoration took 7 years (mostly due to cost).
318 V-8 engine was rebuilt by Competition Engines in Raritan NJ (known for drag racing at Englishtown). Engine has been hopped up with the following: Edelbrock Performane Cam # EDL-2177, Edelbrock Performance Intake Manifold # EDL-2176, Edelbrock Timing Chain # EDL-7803, Edelbrock Polished Aluminum Valve Covers # EDL-4295, Edelbrock 600 CFM Marbuerator # 1405, Manley Performance Valves & Valve Springs. Custom headers ceramic coated by Jet-Hot Coatings. Dual three inch exhaust through flowmaster mufflers. Three inch side exhaust through chrome extensions. The sound is pretty loud but right for this truck. Three speed automatic 727 Torqueflight transmission rebuilt by Midway Transmissions. B&M Shifter. Custom oak bed with polished stainless bed rails. Custom solid oak rear bumper. Custom polished stainless steel grill (I still have the original which goes with the truck). Grant Steering wheel. The steering wheel and the wood on the dash are solid walnut. Alpine AM / FM CD Player. Brushed 15" Aluminum wheels all around. New master brake cylincer and new stainless brake lines (not power brakes but they work fine). Rear is from a 1969 Dodge Coronet (not a posi rear). Truck still has original front end (rebuilt) but is very driveable. All electronics switched over to twelve volt system. Auto-Meter gages. Less than 700 miles since restoration. New White headliner is installed though not shown in Photos. Additional large blue Iron Cross on headliner.
This truck has won many trophies at local auto shows and is unique in it's look.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as the truck is for sale locally. I will not help with shipping via flatbed, etc. Can deliver within reasonable distance of Hillsborough, NJ (I will drive truck there). $500 due at auction end. Balance upon delivery - cash or bank check which we will go to the bank and deposit. (sorry - too many bad checks out there).

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport
Tue, 29 Jan 2013We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.

eBay Find of the Day: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 with 504 miles
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It's typically hard to find early examples of the Dodge Viper that haven't been crashed or modified, but one eBay seller has a showroom-fresh version of the V10 roadster up for sale worthy of an eBay Find of the Day.
With just 504 miles on the odometer (according to the description and not the images) and "no defects at all," this 1994 Viper is a rare find indeed. Tack on the Buy It Now price of just $37,500 and it seems like a steal - especially when checking out the prices and conditions of other early Vipers currently listed on eBay.
Even after spending months ogling the all-new 2014 SRT Viper, it's hard to ignore the raw beauty of the original open-top model. From the three-spoke wheels to the calf-searing side pipes, everything about this Viper looks just the way it did when it rolled off the line almost 20 years ago. The seller even says that the top and windows have never been installed meaning there are no scratches anywhere on this car!
Mopar '13 Dart will roll into Chicago next week
Thu, 31 Jan 2013We think this officially counts as a tradition. Every year going back to 2010, Mopar has rolled out a limited edition version of a popular product from the Chrysler Group portfolio. First it was the Mopar '10 Challenger, then the Mopar '11 Charger, then last year's Mopar '12 300, and this year it will be the Mopar '13 Dart, which will make its official world debut next week at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
Limited in number to just 500 units, the Mopar '13 Dart is no mere appearance package, though the demeanor of the Dart will be murdered out with a gloss black finish, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a set of Mopar blue stripes and a mean-looking Mopar ground effects kit. Likewise, the interior is touched up with leather seats (a blue one for the driver and black hides for the passengers), gloss black and black chrome trim, blue accent stitching, a sport pedal kit and other Mopar interior accessories.
Turning our attention back to the mechanical bits, the Mopar '13 Dart comes with the car's most powerful engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir four (shared with Fiat 500 Abarth) that's paired with a manual transmission. Those big, black wheels get wrapped in low profile 225/40R18 performance tires, and keeping everything in check is an upgraded brake kit with slotted rotors. The steering has also been calibrated for performance, the suspension lowered seven millimeters, and the exhaust tuned for better engine breathing.
