WHEN DODGE MADE THEIR 'WARLOCK' AND 'SPIRIT' MODELS IN THE MID-70s, THEY ALSO BUILT THIS MODEL, IN SMALLER QUANTITIES. IMAGES SHOW THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PIN STRIPING, 5-LUG SPOKE STEEL WHEELS, FOLD-DOWN CENTER SEAT WITH STORAGE UNDER. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW BY MY DAD IN '77, AND HE HAD ZIEBART UNDERCOATING APPLIED RIGHT AWAY. THERE IS NO RUST EXCEPT FOR SURFACE RUST ON THE CAB, FENDERS, OR TAILGATE. ONE OF THE STEPS, THE BED SIDES, AND BED TOP RAILS HAVE THROUGH RUST, AS SHOWN. THERE ARE SOME DINGS ON THE GRILLE, AND A DENT ON THE REAR OF THE CAB, SHOTGUN SIDE. THE ORIGINAL OAK BED IS SHOT. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL REAR BUMPER, 1 OF THE ORIGINAL MIRRORS, HORN BUTTON, BOTH '150 CUSTOM' BADGES. NOW HERE'S THE INTERESTING PART: THIS TRUCK HAS A 318, A VERY HIGH RATIO (that is, engine speed low/mph high), AND A 4-SPEED TRANS WITH 1ST GEAR SYNCHRONIZED! IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S SET UP TO DRIVE LIKE A CAR! DODGE AIMED THIS MODEL AT PEOPLE WHO WANTED REGULAR TRANSPORTATION WITH SOME PERFORMANCE, AND WANTED TO BE SEEN DRIVING A PICKUP. AFTER MY DAD DIED IN 1984, I USED THIS TRUCK FOR WORK, GOT TIRED OF BUYING GAS, DROVE IT INTO THE BARN IN 1998. SOLD THE BARN THIS YEAR, PULLED THE TRUCK OUT, DID NOT TRY TO START IT, BUT VERIFIED THAT THE ENGINE TURNS OVER. ENGINE, DRIVE TRAIN, 5 WHEELS ALL ORIGINAL. RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, BRAKES, EXHAUST HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED AT ONE TIME OR OTHER. I AM WILLING TO DELIVER WITHIN A COUPLE HUNDRED OR SO MILE RADIUS. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT, WINNING BIDDER. DELIVERY WILL COST AROUND $1/MILE. CHEERS!
