Up for auction is a very rare Dodge Adventurer Warlock D100 Pickup. These D13 pickups were built by Chrysler as "Adult Toys" The concept being toys built to be enjoyed by adults. This particular pickup was built in Canada 9/77 and was sold in 1978. It has been here in sunny Arizona since 1980. There are a few small rusted areas that will be need to addressed in the future. This vehicle is nearly all original, the only items that I can find that are not original are the steering wheel, and that original seat was recovered some time in the past.

 

this truck would make a GREAT starting point for a project, or fix the few small things and enjoy as it is!

brand new battery

rebuilt carburetor

original 15x10" rims

power brakes

vented discs up front

original glass

appears to have been repainted sometime in the past, in the original Black Metallic. The interior appears to be factory paint.

the truck currently has a 4 speed shifter on the floor, it is possible it was swapped from a column shifted transmission in the past.

original oak boards for the bed sides are decent to good condition, and also the wedges that hold them in tightly.

original 318 V8

numbers matching truck

equipped with Air conditioning, Power Steering and Power Brakes from the factory

recent tune up

starts, runs, stops, and drives great with no creaks or rattles

 

the following items will need to be addressed sometime in the future:

the tires have decent tread, but are starting to show their age and starting to crack

there are two small areas of the passenger floor boards that are rusted through.

passenger side taillight lens is faded and missing a small piece.

there is also small patch approximately 1.5"x3" of rust under the paint in the step area on the passenger side of the truck

wood in the bed near the tailgate is showing its age

the seat has been recovered in the past, and will need to be redone again

both the front and rear bumpers have been tweeked

there is a small dent on the front drivers side fender, a paintless dent removal pro could likely pop it out.

the handles on the door panels need some TLC

dash is cracked

 

 

As it sits now, it runs, drives, stops, starts very well. This would be a great rare dodge to restore, or to fix the few minor items and enjoy as is.

I will gladly help you arrange shipping from Tucson, Az. But ultimately it is the winning bidder's responsibility to arrange shipping if it is needed.

When you are bidding on this item, you are bidding to win it.  At end of auction $1000 will be due within 24hours. The balance is due within 72hours of the closing of the auction, unless other arrangements are made.

Any questions or to schedule a time to check the vehicle out please call and ask for me, David @ 520-312-1139.

Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
