Long Wheelbase - Big Back Window
315 V8 - 3 Speed Column Shift
This auction is for an unmolested USED 1958 Dodge Pickup with Custom Cab trim. It has a 315 V8 engine with a column shift 3 speed manual transmission. This is a D100, which is a 1/2 TON and this one has the long wheelbase like the sporty Sweptsides utilize. This vehicle has virtually NO RUST... all the floorboards, fenders, hood, bed and tailgate are absolutely solid. Take a look at the cab mounts on the floor of the cab... they are some of the best I have ever seen in an original truck. It has the very desirable BIG Back Window, driver and passenger side door arm rests as well as driver and passenger side sun visors... these were all options on these trucks. ALL the cab door and fender stainless steel trim is on the truck or included as shown in the pictures. The stainless surrounds for the headlights are also included as shown in the pictures. It also includes the RARE Dolphin style hood ornament that is still mounted on the hood. This is a great little truck to restore as is OR a perfect DONOR candidate for use in restoring a rusty 1958-59 Dodge or Fargo Sweptside... You would have a lot less invested in this as a DONOR than it would cost to fix a lot of rust in another.
The wheel covers are missing, I have not tried to run the engine and it will likely need a rebuild. It needs a new front windshield and side door glass. It has a dented LEFT rear fender... This fender is one with the space for mounting a side spare tire. I am including an excellent STANDARD fender without the spare tire space for the buyer to use and then place the spare tire under the bed, as was frequently the case on these trucks.
Buyer must make a $500 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hours with the balance due by cleared check/money order prior to taking possession of the vehicle or cash at time of possession. Buyer is responsible for transportation of the vehicle but seller will assist if requested.
If you have been looking for a great little truck to restore, then this is the one for you... Bid NOW and Don't Miss Out as this is only a 5 Day Auction.

I have had a few questions regarding the roadworthy status of this vehicle. As I stated... This is a great candidate for restoration. I must add that it is CURRENTLY NOT ROADWORTHY. It will require restoration. Although the engine turns over, it may require rebuild of the engine and definitely the brakes. I have not tried to start the engine, as the gas tank is removed and sitting in the bed of the truck. The tachometer seen on the steering column was junk and has been removed.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Mopar '13 Dart priced from $25,485*
Wed, 12 Jun 2013For the past few years, Chrysler's Mopar in-house tuning division has created its own one-off versions of several cars in the automaker's portfolio, including the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and Mopar '12 300. For 2013, the black-and-blue up-do has been given to the new Dart compact, and Chrysler has announced that the limited-edition sedan is now available for order, priced from $25,485, not including *$995 for destination.
Like previous Mopar edition vehicles, the Dart is painted in a signature Pitch Black exterior with an offset blue racing stripe. The sedan sits seven millimeters lower to the ground and gets visual add-ons like a chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, along with gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.
Performance wise, the Dart's 1.4-liter MultiAir inline four-cylinder engine remains, producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The Mopar car gets a sport-tuned exhaust system along with revised power steering calibration and beefier brakes.
