History - Belonged to a elder German teacher throughout most of recent years who had a heart for old Dodges, Truck was located in thesouthernCalifornia area in the upscale part of Upland, Ca. He got it from his friend who had it for many years who also was a Dodge enthusiast. it was mentioned that the Dodge had been a California truck all of its life. The owner had retired from being a teacher & wasn’t driving it much deciding it’s time to let it go.
A great example of a solid dry California classic truck. Dry floors & undercarriage. Never been in any accidents or appears to have or had any rust issues, great bones on this Dodge truck body. Factory Color Monotone Black, it went thru a cosmetic restoration in 2017 which included a repaint, some interior done as well as some nice chrome bumpers. Interior shows well, carpet had been replaced. The Warlock accent gold striping on the dashboard Iwastold was never re-striped & are original, the rest of the classic Warlock stripes have been redone & shownicely. Paint showswell, looking up closeryou'll notice normal blemishes for it's age some chips, minor touch ups, minor scratches &ect.. Truck looks nice but my no means a trailer queen.
Under the hood it has it's 440 engine appearing to be stock looking & it was mentioned the 440 engine is indeed original.
