For Sale: 1959 Dodge Power Wagon in Concord, North Carolina

This truck is an intoxicating mix of vintage with just the right upgrades. So it's hard not to enjoy this well-presented 1959 Dodge Power Wagon, whether you want to show off something distinct or enjoy it for the true tough 4x4 it is.

A classic Dodge truck from this era is a rare sight. The distinctive lines are beefy and attractive, which makes it a great way to stand out at cars & coffee. And we love the way it adds flair correctly. The plum paint has a nice metallic glow, but there's the right level of use to announce it's a real truck. And those upgraded 18-inch alloys have a high-polished style, but they are also genuine HD 8-lug wheels. The Power Wagons had a look at living up to their name with flared fenders and a tall 4x4 stance. This one takes it up a notch with custom bumpers and integrated guards in a distinct white. It stands out against the metallic plum to boldly announce this classic truck can plow its way through a field of younger pickups, and it even showcases a useful trailer hitch on the rear to bring all the toys with you. That's the difference you get with a Power Wagon. It looks vintage, but age doesn't diminish its utility. So while this one will be fun to show off around town, we bet you'll be taking advantage of the liner paint in the bed to get some work done, too.

The color theme is carried inside for a custom two-tone plum and white. The doors, dash, and headliner follow this custom style. And the two-tone bench seat with tuck and roll insert is a particularly nice-looking custom piece. There are even provisions for nice upgrades like a modern stereo and air conditioning (they will need servicing/parts to function fully.) But this one also doesn't lose its real truck sensibilities. After all, you have a true 4x4 floor shift transfer case, and the whole floor is done in rugged liner paint. Overall, it strikes a nice balance of being useful right now, and it also gives you the right base if you want a full-show truck interior in the future.

This Power Wagon has been given plenty of updates, but the one you'll like the most is under the hood. The stock straight-six was a powerful motor, and the only way to replace it was with a younger Mopar powerhouse with the same kind of robust reputation. So under the hood is a hardy 318 cubic-inch V8. It's a true torque king, and you control it all with the ease of the four-speed manual transmission. And you have that good granny first gear for when you need low-end torque. So it's exactly what you want in a go-anywhere 4x4. The undercarriage has a clean look for confidence in all conditions. Plus, while the Toyo Open Country tires are awesome off-road, they provide far more comfortable on the pavement than the skinny stock tires.

This is a cool mix of old-school fun and custom truck flair. And at the heart of it all is a versatile and rare Power Wagon. Call now!
