Here we have something special. A rarely seen factory custom truck from Dodge. Produced for just two years, 1978 and 1979. During a time when the term, muscle car was a four letter word, these trucks were the exception. At introduction and right from the factory. 0-60 times were under 8 seconds. Just 5,118 were built for the 1979 model year.
This one is special is it's had just ONE registered owner. Purchased at a Dodge dealership in Raynham Massachusetts and kept garaged at his home in the very next town over. He owned this truck until 2023. This truck has never seen a New England winter, ever and very little rain. It was purchased new as a future collector vehicle with foresight. With the exception of the outer bed, the cab of the truck appears to have all it's original paint and decals. Speaking of decals, sometime in the 1980's, the owner purchased two new door decals from the same dealer he purchased the truck from. He never used them and they are still sealed in the original boxes and included in the sale. Pictures of those are in the photo gallery.
Under the hood is the original 360 V8 and that's mated to an automatic transmission. Power steering and brakes plus an original push button AM/FM radio are also present.
This is a rarely seen truck, especially with this pedigree and rust free, clean body. No past body work present as far as I can tell. Lots of original documentation is included as well.
This truck is part of a large collection of vintage and special interest cars I've been asked to help liquidate. I make no claims other than stated above as to any particulars. The truck starts and runs fantastic but I have not driven it on the road. It has a 2021 Massachusetts inspection sticker so we can assume that's the last time it got somewhat regular use. I highly recommend in person inspection on this and the other cars in the collection listed on my site. If that's not possible I will do my best to answer any questions you might have to the best of my ability. I can say though, this appears to be quite fantastic overall. We are selling this with the original owners title. You'll be the second owner.
Check out the link below to the gallery of photos and I do have a short walk round video of the truck running I can share...
