Get your new 4BT Cummins 1500 Dodge here.

Gotcha, , I posted the other day asking about prices on new 1/2 tons. While thinking about what I'd really like to buy I realized it's not available but could be.



All us old guys likely remember the Grand Spalding Dodges out of Chicago and Yenko Chevys. For you younguns, two hot rod type car dealers in the early 70's were taking new Dodges and Chevrolets and building the cars the manufactures wouldn't. Examples were 340 6pack Dodge Demons, and in 72 when the compression was cut to 8. 5 on the A motors, supercharged Demons.

The Yenko Chevys had L88s (big hp big blocks) in Nova's. BAD TO THE BONE CARS.



What needs to happen now is a dealer (or someone with deep pockets) needs to buy new trucks, minus engines and transmissions and install new electronic 4BT Cummins engines with automatics built to handle the 5. 9 Cummins, it should live and perform great (with a little bombing).



30mpg and you couldn't wear the engine out. I'd buy one in a minute.



Of course the EPA, lawyers, insurance industry and on and on make this a unlikely occourance. But I can dream.



Anyone else want one?

I'll take a Baldwin Motion Camaro please. Saw a nice one this year at Barrett Jackson. 68, black, 427. It didn't sell at auction and was in the lot afterward for something like 70. I didn't think that was bad considering what a Yenko costs, but there was some debate as to whether or not the car was authentic.

You bet. In a world without lawyers, you could make this happen. I traded my '99 Durango for the '03 CTD. Nice package, good size, comfortable, held a decent amount of stuff. If that had a 4 cyl diesel, it would be an awesome vehicle. Sort of like the Jeep Grand Cherokee they sell in Europe. 5 cyl diesel, and it sells great!

and a buddy just bought a '69 Chevelle Yenko. He's a mopar guy, but he probably won't sell this bowtie for a while...

Jeep is selling 5,000 Liberty models for 2005 with the CRD. Too bad that a: it ain't more and b: it's a Liberty.
