These Power Wagons
are gaining in collectible value and well known as unstoppable beasts with a
very heavy chassis that will just walk through the most treacherous of
terrains, without even shifting into lower range 4x4 ratios as its already
running in 4x4. It's a "point and shoot" scenario.
Starts quickly, choke works, Runs great, drives perfectly straight, tight
steering that steers easily, Quiet running, no rear hums or whines and stops
good without drum squeal or grinding.. Head Lights, horn, speedo, guages, turn
signals, and brake lights work as designed. Glass is extra nice too.
Incredible body condition, paint still shines well, frame and undercarriage are
exceptional due to an ideal, DRY Arizona and California climate life and
Jeweler/owner's Cosmetic restoration (7yrs ago)which involved taking all the
body parts off.
The graphics you see can be removed. I added red pin stripes and power wagon
decals to dress it up, all that comes off if you like. The Dodge decal is the
correct
vintage and
placement, according to my research.
Use history
I've owned this Power Wagon for 6 years and put only 2,000 miles on it cruising
around town and of course a few neighbors borrowed it to pick up their monster
flat panel TVs. Although I had intended to haul a car carrier, I never hauled
anything. I really hate selling this very cool 4x4 but
it is way too nice to not be garaged. I have 7 cars and I cannot garage it. You
4x4 lovers know how very difficult it is to find such a rugged 4x4 in this condition. Most have
suffered from multiple years of snow, heavy hauling, salt, rust, mud or
undercarriage damage from rock crawling. After all, that's what they were built
to do! Mainly its been a show off toy that gets a lot of appreciation
everywhere its seen. What I had done mechanically: simple maintenance. Replaced the fuel pump and filter, replaced valve cover gaskets as they leaked. Also changed the oil and filter twice. Added an Accel super coil and replaced plugs and wires and a new battery.. Probably time for rotor, points and another radiator flush. Maybe a high flow water pump if you will be hauling. The aluminum Radiator is working well with a good upper verus lower hose temperature.
Detailed Information
Body and paint-Cosmetically restored
2010.
Southern
California and
Very straight,
was disassembled, taken to metal, primed and painted 2 stage base
coat/clearcoat. All weather stripping was replaced and is still supple.
Doors shut
nice, all panels, hood have good fitment
Very solid
without creaks and rattles
Bed is
straight and undented, both sides and floor are undamaged
Both sides of theTailgate are straight and undamaged as well.
The restoration was a very professional job that still shines and presents well., Does have a sliver of peeled paint (not rust) under the mirror bases and some, not many, tiny little chips on really close inspection. that could easily be fixed if you are a perfectionist. Shows strong from all angles with that Big Boy aggressive stance. ***Note, will have picture of sliver peel under mirror and undercarriage by Wed.****
Engine and Transmission
Original 318 Engine, intake & exhaust manifolds and carburetor
Original
Drivetrain and Dodge 3 speed 727 transmission
Starts quickly, operating choke, smooth running, no unusual noises and no smoke. I do not know if it was every rebuilt. Shifts smoothly, no issues with drive train experienced. Runs on midgrade unleaded fuel, with zero detonation. Front and rear axles are quiet as well.
Brakes
Big power brakes w/ dual master that really work well.
Glass
Windows roll
up and down and seal well.
All glass Near Perfect, no scratches, no fogging nor water damage. Rear Flip
out windows and Etched "Club Cab"
windows are excellent as well.
Not much chrome on this model. Stainless mirrors look new, stainless grille is excellent, door handles are good, but probably original, a little faded, Front Bumper appears original and is somewhat faded and backside of that front bumper has surface rust.
Interior
Restored and still very nice. White paint Inside of cab is even and shiny, like the exterior. Dashboard and gauges are clear and working. there are two tiny, short slits on the back top edge of dash pad I may get fixed if there is time. New Suede seating with French stitching. New carpeting, new leather & chrome Steering Wheel, new Kenwood stereo/CD with Blue tooth with phone speaker and USB port, wired for 4 speakers. 2 in front are Pioneer. Retractable seat belts that are over the shoulder and working as designed. New Dodge RAM floor mats.
Nice original door panels and arm rests
Rare jump seats in excellent condition and includes mounting bolts.
Lights, heater and accessories
Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, interior light, speedo, fuel gauge, amp and temperature gauge are working. Wipers and Heater controls are working as well. I know of no electrical problems, wiring appears to be bone stock and not altered by amateur hands.
Undercarriage
Exceptionally clean, partially detailed. No rust damage on anything, floors,
bed, all solid. Will send pictures of undercarriage and post some when my
camera
is fixed
Tuesday. Obviously was not, or rarely, driven in inclement weather or rough
housed on mountain rocks. No telltale scrapes and dents underneath. This was a
toy, not a workhorse, although it could be either. There was a slight weeping
at differential gasket that I cleaned off and retightened the bolts. The
Nearly perfect Chrome 17" Alloys, no pitting or curb rash.
17" Goodyear Wrangler TAs. low mileage but 7 years old, shows a few little cracks.
So, what is there left to do? You can just go play in the snow or mud or hills. If you intend to show it, I would rechrome the front bumper and fix the peeled paint sliver under mirrors and detail the engine bay out.
Title and Registration
Currently clear Arizona Title in my name showing 65,000 actual miles when titled in 2010.
Mileage is
certified on the title.
There is no
sales tax on private sales in
Copy of former
California Title.
Passed
emissions every time up until I quit registering it a couple years ago.
Eligible in this state for Classic car status, thus no emissions required.
Drives like a car, so your wife will love it, Power steering, 3 speed automatic
and big power brakes, no shifting into 4x4 needed!. Gets raves and thumbs up
all over town. This Power Wagon appears to have never been four wheeling. I
thought I was going to tow my classic cars in style with it someday, but that
never happened. I drove this from
I have restored and collected lots of collector cars, and still do, and buyers have bought sight unseen from me. (Check my feedback as seller) Still, I am not a mechanic and also not an expert on 4x4s. I always prefer to sell to someone who has seen and driven the vehicle so they will be happy. Anyone would be proud to own this beautiful Power Wagon but it is not a fresh restoration and has been driven 2,000 miles since I purchased it. The imperfections are minimal and do not really detract from its overall impact. Serious buyers can Email for phone number and phone video.
This truck passed emissions for the 2014/15 registration year and was licensed. Prior to that it passed CA emissions and was licensed for 2010/2011 when I bought it. it was never registered as a non op as the jeweler used it to commute and I drove it occasionally.
POWER BRAKES ARE POWER DISC, not drum.
