Amboy, Illinois, United States

1987 Dodge Ram 50 pickup truck, 2 wheel drive with 151,000 miles. Hard to find truck which was imported by Mitsubishi for Dodge back in the 80s. It basically is a Mitsubishi with Dodge emblems.

4 cylinder engine with 2 barrel carburetor, 5 speed manual transmission, 2 wheel drive. Good tires, chrome rims, CD player.  It's a solid truck for the year and overall age.  I purchased it from a friend to use for some light hauling tasks (furniture, etc.) and no longer need it.  

Overall body is in good shape with minimal rust.
Paint on hood and roof is peeled and faded.



Has button for air conditioning but compressor and other related parts are missing.

Runs good, but does burn some oil and needs antifreeze topped off every few weeks under daily driving conditions. Engine occasionally has what sounds like a little bit of lifter noise when it is warming up but have not had it professionally diagnosed.  This truck runs good however and I put 50+ miles a day round trip on it back and forth to work and get close to mid 20s for MPG.

Truck is not perfect but runs good and is a daily driver.  Low reserve priced to sell.  

$100 Paypal deposit due at time of auction end unless other arrangements are made.  Cash in person for the remainder of the balance.  

For any additional questions please contact via eBay email.

2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.
