  1977 DODGE "TRADESMAN" VAN "SHORTY" / SHORT WHEEL BASE. LIKE SPORTSVAN. SPECIAL PERFORMANCE VAN? THIS MYSTERY VAN HAS A 360ci W/ 4 BBL EDELBROCK CARD & HUGE FRONT & REAR SWAY BARS! (SEE PICS.) GREAT RESTORATION CANDIDATE! LOW RESERVE / MECHANIC SPECIAL. THIS VAN WILL ALSO MAKE SOMEONE AN EZ RESTORATION OR A CLASSIC DAILY DRIVER WITH NOT MUCH WORK! MECHANICALLY IN GOOD SHAPE. THE 360ci V8" RUNS BUT HAS IS NOT FIRING ON ALL 8. ACTUALLY STARTS RIGHT UP & DRIVES NICELY. SO WE KNOW THAT OTHERWISE THE VAN IS IN GOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS NICELY. BUT TO BE CLEAR: THIS IS NOT JUST GOING TO BE FIXED BY A TUNEUP. IT SEEMS TO HAVE LOW COMPRESSION IN 2 OF THE PASSENGER SIDE CYLINDERS & WE BELIEVE IT IS VALVE RELATED. OVERALL A VERY NICE CLASSIC & RARE 70'S SURVIVOR. ALTHOUGH THIS ONE WOULD DRIVE ON TO A TRANSPORT TRUCK OR TRAILER WITH NO PROBLEM, IT WOULD DEFINITELY NEED THE ENGINE WORK DONE BEFORE DRIVING IT LONG DISTANCES. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU EITHER ARRANGE GETTING ANY PRETRIP PREP WORK DONE, INCLUDING THE REPAIRS IT NEEDS AT OUR WHOLESALE COST. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT HOME. OR WE CAN HELP YOU ARRANGE TRANSPORTATION ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE WITH A TRANSPORTATION THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH FOR YEARS THAT GIVES US GREAT DEALS. FRONT END, GRILL, FRONT BUMPER, ETC. ARE ALL VERY NICE! STRAIGHT & CLEAN! THE PAINT IS IN OK SHAPE FOR A DAILY DRIVER, BUT IF YOU WANT TO RESTORE IT, YOU WILL WANT TO REPAINT IT TO GIVE IT YOUR PERSONAL TOUCH. MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOR SOMEONE WANTING TO RESTORE ONE, IT IS OVERALL VERY STRAIGHT & SOLID! IT IS VERY NICE & SOLID & HAS NO ADVANCED RUST ISSUES AT ALL. SOLID FLOORBOARDS SOLID FENDERS SOLID ROCKERS SOLID QUARTERS SOLID DOORS ETC. WE PUT THIS VAN UP ON A HOIST & LOOKED IT OVER THOROUGHLY & IT IS COMPLETELY SOLID. HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: B21BF7X084588 ODOMETER READING: 76724 ALTHOUGH THERE ARE QUITE A FEW INDICATIONS THAT THESE COULD BE VERY WELL THE ACTUAL MILES, WE HAVE NOT VERIFIED THIS & SO LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES 10 YEARS & OLDER IT IS BEING SOLD AS: TRUE MILES UNKNOWN / MILES EXEMPT. ALL GLASS IS GOOD TOO. VERY COOL REAR "WING". TAILLIGHTS, REAR DOORS & REAR BUMPER ARE ALL NICE & CLEAN. HAS A NICE SET OF STOCK WHEELS & ORIGINAL HUBCAPS. WITH A MATCHING SET OF WIDE WHITEWALL TIRES THAT LOOK NICE, BUT ARE "TIRED" & SHOULD BE REPLACED. (WE GET GREAT DEALS ON TIRES AS WELL & COULD GET THE BUYER A GOOD DEAL ON A SET OF NEW OR USED RADIALS IF DESIRED. GLASS: ALL GLASS IS GOOD. THE VINYL TOP ISN'T PERFECT, BUT CERTAINLY COULD BE USED FOR A WHILE. BUT WE THINK IT WOULD BE BEST TO REPLACE IT WHEN YOU HAVE IT REPAINTED. INTERIOR: IN OVERALL VERY NICE SHAPE! NICE AFTERMARKET TACH & STEERING WHEEL. THE FRONT SEATS LOOK GREAT! NO REAL WEAR OR TEARS! REMEMBER THE 70's CUSTOM VANS? YEP! THE INTERIOR IS MOSTLY SHAG CARPETING! THIS IS A BLAST FROM THE PAST! HAS A SUNROOF, AN 8 TRACK & A CB RADIO TOO! DRIVER'S SIDE "SHAG" DOOR PANEL IS JUST MISSING YOUR CHOICE OF SPEAKER! PASSENGER'S SIDE LOOKS "PERIOD CORRECT" AS WELL. VIEW OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. AND NOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T HAD YOUR SHAG CARPETING FIX TAKEN CARE OF YET... THE REAR. WHY IS IT THAT I AM HEARING AUSTIN POWERS SAYING..."OH...YEEAAAH BABY"! EVERY TIME I LOOK IN THE BACK? HAS A REAR HEATER OVER IN THE CORNER & VENTS ACROSS THE TOP TO MAKE SURE YOUR "GUESTS" ENJOY THEIR RIDE IN COMFORT... VIEW FROM THE REAR. HAS A NICE LOOKING SET OF WIDE OFFSET ALLOY WHEELS WITH A SET OF RADIAL TIRES. THE TIRES ARE CERTAINLY NOT NEW, BUT SHOULD HAVE MANY MORE MILES LEFT IN THEM. UNDER HOOD. POWER BRAKES & NEWER BATTERY. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT HAS QUITE A FEW "PERFORMANCE" RELATED ITEMS. THE FRONT SWAY BAR IS HUGE... AS IS THE REAR SWAY BAR. PRETTY UNIQUE FOR A "SHORTY" VAN. MECHANICAL: SIZE: 360ci V8 TRANSMISSION: TYPE: AUTOMATIC BRAKES TYPE: POWER CONDITION: SMOOTH & SOLID. STEERING: POWER CONDITION: WORKS GREAT. NICE & SMOOTH. WHEELS: AFTERMARKET ALLOYS TIRES STEEL RADIALS. SHOULD GET YOU AROUND JUST FINE TILL YOU ARE READY TO PUT A FRESH SET ON. EXHAUST: GOOD SHAPE. NICE & QUIET. NICE OLD CLASSIC!
