Vehicle Description
Time to get your hands on a heavy duty rare 4x4 Mopar. This 1978 Dodge Power Wagon pickup is a great way to standout in the vintage pickup world without having to give up utility or comfort.
Dodge trucks just seem to have a unique presence, especially when dressed in a two-tone with full Power Wagon trim and the bold ram hood ornament leading the charge. The red and white take turns alternating on this truck body, and each time there is a color switch, there is a bright strip of trim providing the separation - that's a great premium vintage touch. Then again, people will already take notice because you're likely the only one to show up at the car show in a Mopar 4x4. With less than 25,000 of these short bed W150 models built in '78, finding a complete one like this is quite extraordinary today. But rarity does not mean you can't use this for work or play. Just look at the tall 4x4 ground clearance, big step chrome bumper, tow hitch, and roll bar with light package – here's a vintage pickup can easily handle your weekend activities.
The red interior is inviting with the vinyl bench seat, carpeting, and dashboard all in coordinating colors. The driver gets the factory steering wheel, which not only gives a clear view at the factory gauge package, but also upgrades like the SunPro tach and later-model Chrysler AM/FM/CD stereo. This one just has that perfect old premium pickup feeling, and you will love opening up the side vent windows and the rear sliding glass, and letting the breeze trickle through as you journey on, or off-road.
A big truck needs big power under the hood, and this one has a factory-correct 318 cubic-inch V8. Besides the great looking Mopar dress-up kit with the matching air grabber and valve covers, this one has also been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. All of this power can easily be heard thanks to an investment in a newer dual exhaust system that includes glasspacks. The heavy-duty W150 line means a beefier 4x4 that's up for just about any off-road task. That's why it has a proven two-speed transfer case that engages the Dana 44 front end. But for those days when you just want to run around town, this Dodge can be quite comfortable with its three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires at all four corners.
You're looking at a cool and rare pickup that has all the features you want in one attention-grabbing package. And with this kind of affordability, you know you have to act fast to grab this rare Power Wagon. Call today!!
