Beautiful, very rare, good running, all stock and original, one family owned, near rust-free, wonderfully patina'd, barn-find example of a 1964 Dodge D100 Town Panel. A friend of a friend remembers being with his dad when his family bought it brand-new in 1964. They owned a local dairy known as Canyonlands Dairy in Monticello, Utah and used it for 15 years to delivery dairy products in the local area. They were the distributor for Hi-Land Dairy products (google them) and you can still see the red check mark logo on each side. It even has the vintage rear license plate with a 1979 sticker (see pics) indicating when it was 'put out to pasture'.

Below is a link to a quick overview of the 1954-1966 Dodge Town Panel/Town Wagon series...


Details on mine are below...

Running gear is excellent. It consists of a 318CID Polysphere V8 running through a New Process 435 4 speed manual transmission to the Chrysler rear differential with a 3.90 gear ratio (see VIN tag pics). The engine starts right up and shifts very smoothly. It doesn't have any leaks either... amazing (see pics). Even though it runs well I'd recommend a carb rebuild depending on your climate and elevation. I just installed an electric fuel pump that draws gasoline from a container under the hood. This beauty has mostly just sat for the last 35 years. My plan is to clean out the gas tank and fuel line by auction end. There is a little slop in the steering (not bad) and brakes need to be pumped to build up pressure. Brakes may also be fixed by auction end.

Exterior is also in extremely good condition. It has had one ancient respray over the original white. Bumpers have been recently rechromed in anticipation of a restoration that never materialized. Rust is confined to a small part of the left front fender and rear fenderwells (see pics). Anything else is just surface. I also have many pictures of the front and rear inner fenders and undercarriage that show how solid and rust-free they are. All four doors open and close solidly. Rear doors have some stress cracks from constant use and rattle while driving. Vent window and rear door glass is good. Windows roll up and down properly but glass is broken. Windshield has two cracks; one on the far left and one on the far right. You don't notice them.

The interior is solid. The dash has no cutting or butchery of any kind. Buttons, knobs, and switches are in place. Glass is missing from gauges and they do not function. Horn and front lights work well; the others are intermittent. And even the radio works! Drivers seat has been replaced (it's very comfy). Passenger seat has always been a vintage steel milk crate turned upside down and padded (see pics). Cargo area was insulated throughout years ago to keep dairy products from freezing at night (Monticello, Utah gets COLD). Original plywood flooring in rear looks great from underneath.

This is such an awesome rig. It runs/drives very well in its current condition and is wonderfully original. The value here is in its complete, original, and substantially rust-free nature. That the running gear is so impressive is just icing on the cake. I hope it finds a home with someone who will treat her like the rare beast she is and perhaps bring her back to her former glory. Just my two cents.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. This sweet 1964 Dodge Town Panel is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
