Customized 1968 Dodge Crew Cab on Craigslist

So you’d like to buy the ICON Dodge D200 Powerwagon now that it’s for sale (as recently posted on Mopar Blog) but it’s level of craftsmanship and custom work and resulting $300,000 asking price makes it kinda impossible? This similarly styled, 12v Cummins powered Dodge is available on Craigslist for a more down to earth $39,000. More pics after the jump!

Vintage Dodge Dealer Photo – Shelton, Washington 1963

This is a photo of Pauley Motors in Shelton, Washington circa 1963.  Yes they only had this many cars on the lot at one time, not every dealer can be Mr. Norm’s selling hundreds of cars a month! They were a Dodge only dealer until 1972 when they took over the Plymouth franchise from another dealer in town. They closed down the business around 1978 during the Chrysler bankruptcy.

Such was the challenge for an engine builder in Canada. What can you expect for output? How about 500 lb-ft of torque and 380-plus horsepower? Find out what they did at Street Legal TV. Dyno video after the jump!

New Challenger in May?

So the last rumor had the debut of the new Challenger at the Southern California LX Club. That didn’t happen. The next possible venue is the New York Auto Show in mid-April but Ralph Gilles says that the car’s reveal is still two and a half months away. The Challenger, Charger and 300 are all getting a refresh for the 2015 model year. The Challenger is expected first. Find more info at Allpar.
