1955 Dodge Rat Rod, Ready To Cruise, Daily Driven Hot Ratrod V8 No Reserve on 2040-cars
Richmond, Virginia, United States
|
This is a ready to drive Rat Rod. Nice patina, draws attention wherever it goes. I have driven it daily and it is very reliable and pretty fast. The gauges are all functional and include speed/odo, fuel, oil pressure, coolant temp. It was entered in the spring 2014 Rockabilly riot and won best truck. All lights and signals work, it has a horn and 1 windshield wiper. Electric Pusher fan keeps it cool in heavy traffic. Heat works and the vintage air box has components for a/c if you wish to add it. The original "Job Rated" cab has been channeled over the frame and welded into a 2000 chevy S-10 floor pan. The frame is from the same s-10 giving the truck a nice stance, good ride and excellent handling. The rear has been lowered with 2" blocks and the front is still sitting on stock suspension. It would be easy to lower this even more with s-10 components or airbags to make it really low but as a DD its a great ride. The bed is early 50's chevy and has been placed on the s-10 bed floor and reinforced, I have hauled everything from motorcycles to couches in the bed. The 350/turbo 350 driveline mated to an 8.5" rear diff with highway gears even does ok on fuel, my best was just over 20mpg. Edelbrock performer carb and intake with a 1" riser. There is an HEI distributor for low maintenance. Headers into glass packs with side exits sound good without being unreasonably loud. I have a lot of extras to go with it, a brand new trans cooler, a bunch of sheet metal including patches for the door bottoms and flat metal to make skirts on the bed. I have rear fenders that could be altered to install. This little ride even has a spare tire and tools incase you ever get a flat.
The cab has plenty of room for taller occupants, I have had guys 6'5" tall in it with plenty of room left. |

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

2014: Refreshed 300/300C, debuting at Los Angeles Auto Show
2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos
Wed, 21 May 2014Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
