1973 Dodge D100 Adventurer pickup. Originally sold new in North Carolina. Have original sales receipt. Pickup is extremely solid and virtually rust free. As you can see in the pictures there is minor rust in the rear wheel housings beginning to show. Truck is solid outside and underneath. Appears to have had a topper on most of it's life as the bed is in really nice condition as well. Looks like one cheap repaint years ago, close to factory medium blue color. The paint would buff out to an acceptable shine but again its an older cheap paint job but at least the truck has paint on it to start with which GasMonkey would call "good vintage patina".. Truck came equipped new with 360 2bbl engine, 727 transmission and A/C so has the heavy duty radiator and fan shroud cooling. 8 3/4 read end with 3.23 suregrip, power steering and power front disc brakes and factory front sway bar.. Truck has 112k original miles. The original engine ran fine but needed the freeze plugs replaced and several of the gasket seals such as intake end seals, rear main, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets etc replaced as I believe these were still the originals. As I had a freshly rebuilt 1976 360 engine in my possession that I had rebuilt (.040 over) I installed it in the truck. Rebuilt engine has new oil pump, crankshaft is .010/.010 with Sealer Power main and rod bearings, heads completely redone with new valve guides, stock replacement 1.88/1.60 valves, new valve springs and valve locks, new rocker arms and shafts. Camshaft is an Edelbrock Performer Plus with Cloyes double roller timing chain, with Edelbrock Performer intake and Edelbrock 500 cfm electric choke, new fuel pump, new water pump etc. If you have ever built or priced an engine build you get the idea of value here. Valve covers are a set of somewhat rare Chrysler Direct Connection pieces that I thought would compliment the blue fresh engine. Engine is painted Chrysler corporate blue which is the correct color. Engine runs very strong with excellent torque. Hedman headers and brand new exhaust with turbo mufflers. Truck is not load but still has a little bit of an "attitude" sound. 727 transmission was rebuild right before I purchased the truck and shifts firmly. The original A/C equipment will go with the truck. I installed new front calipers, replaced the pads and rebuilt the rear brakes with new wheel cylinders and shoes. The front steering suspension is tight, all 4 tires are basically new and the truck goes down the road smoothly. It's actually fun to drive but given the early and brutal winter we received in Wisconsin this year I have not had much chance to drive it since completion, maybe 100 miles before winter hit. I will answer any legitimate and realistic questions you have on the truck, but if you win the auction it will be your responsibility to get it to where-ever you live. Truck could be driven anywhere as well if that is what your plan is. Truck is stored inside at a friends garage so if you request addition pictures I can get them but it may take a day or so to do so. If paying the required deposit via Paypal you pay the fees, or send as a gift. A non-refundable down payment of $250 is expected within 24 hours of winning the auction. Remainder of payment in 7 days via certified bank check, cashiers check or cash. If you don't have your moms or wifes approval please don't bid. If you want to pay me $1 million dollars to send the truck to Africa please don't bid. Again if you have any questions ask first before bidding.
