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.

Daily Driver: 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

Tue, May 26 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers who drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, reviewed by Greg Migliore. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [00:00:00] Hey, everybody. It's Greg Migliore and today I am driving a 707-horsepower Dodge Charger. That can only mean one thing: I'm driving the Hellcat. Naturally, the spotlight feature of this car is the 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. Makes 707 horsepower and 650 pound feet of torque. [00:00:30] Now naturally the engine sounds great and you can hear all of those horses going out the exhaust in back, which I think the Dodge guys have tuned really well. I think it's got one of the more unique sounds in the industry. All that horsepower will do that, but they've tuned it so there's a low kind of growl, and then it burbles and it's angry [00:01:00], it's visceral. I like it. It's intoxicating. It's different than other muscle cars. It's different than European exotics. I think it sounds great. I'm driving in sport right now which allows me to use the paddle shifters. I think it sounds a little better and the shifts of the eight-speed automatic transmission are a little bit more aggressive. For such a powerful car, Dodge did a nice job of tuning it to be actually pretty drivable. I just took a corner right there and the [00:01:30] steering offers you satisfying weight to your inputs. It's a little bit of a heavier steering, especially compared to some of the earlier generation Chargers. It's sporty, but it's not crazy. The design of the Dodge Charger is a critical element. That's why a lot of people buy this car, is it gives them that muscle car heritage look. The Hellcat has some special design cues that are also functional. You've got a couple of extra air intakes up front, keeps everything cool and breathing, the air flowing through; a nice spoiler in back [00:02:00] that helps keep the aero, and the downforce keeps you on the ground. The HID projector headlights really pop, especially at night, and in back you've got the LED taillights that spread out wide across the back end of this car like some of the great Chargers of the past. This car rolls on 20-inch black wheels with a spiderweb design. I think they look good. They're kind of low-key, which I think is great.

2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive

Sun, 17 Mar 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
