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... http://townwagon.com/sites/tw/years.htm 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.
