1977 DODGE WARLOCK truck custom D-100 factory 360 truck with a 727 automatic transmission, power steering, was factory A/C (removed) and power disc brakes.  Extremely Rare Factory Red Warlock in 1977, as most were painted black. The Warlock still has it’s original “patina” paint and factory faded Warlock strips.  Excellent running and driving truck with a ton of work done on the very clean undercarriage, suspension and driveline.  I just buffed the original red paint to achieve the very cool patina look.  This is a great Warlock truck to drive and enjoy as it is or a nice candidate to paint if looking for more of a restored show truck!

 Printed in an older Mopar Collectors Guide magazine was a story on a very nice red Warlock survivor at that time said it was 1 of 1 built and although there are believed to be several others they are still extremely rare in 1977 to be factory red color!!!  In 1976-77 you get the Warlocks in only 3 colors; black, green or red and all came with black interior.  It was added options to build the Warlocks in 76 and 77 then and only in 1978 started the actual Warlock package and received the Warlock decals and nameplates.  In 1976 and 77 they all came with black bucket seats with center arm rest, gold striping, gold painted spoke wheels, oak bed and bed rails and a tuff wheel.  This is a very cool and rare Warlock that I would drive and enjoy the way it is.  It is definitely an eyecatcher and always complemented when I take it for a cruise!!!   

I will have additional photos and close ups of the flaws in the album listed below.  Please call me and I will be glad to do a complete walk around the truck so you will know every detail of it and the paint.

I typically restore and finish around 8 or more Mopars a year and have been working on them for more than 35 years.  I do all of my own work from top to bottom and I do every one as if it were my own to keep. I put a lot of time, effort, pride and money in the cars I offer for sale which is evident when viewing one of my cars compared to others for sale. 

 Please call Chad at 412- 496- 1439 with any questions. Thanks!

PAINT, BODY AND FRAME

The original red paint was buffed and waxed to achieve the very glossy high shine look.  It has the very cool original patina look with several thinning areas and dents!  Overall it has a pretty good body and looks very cool!  The cab mounts and floors were nicely repaired and the frame is very clean and was painted with Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator.  The underside of the truck is extremely nice and looks excellent!!!  It has a good solid bed that has a little rust where the factory bed side marker brackets were and a little on the tailgate corner.  The lower front fenders both have rust at the very bottoms and the hood has just a small thinning edge on the underside near the latch.  The core support also has some rust at the very bottoms on both lower corners.        

 GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM

The glass is actually pretty nice shape for its age and is factory tint glass.  The front windshield was changed years ago and is PPG glass.  The chrome is decent for the original condition of the truck and the front grill also appears to be original and good shape.

 INTERIOR

The very clean interior has a newer black carpet and at some point someone put the bench seat in.  The original buckets seats with the center armrest were swapped out years ago and is also missing is the factory Tuff wheel.  The A/C and heater box was also removed by the previous owners.  It also has new wiper arm bushings, wiper blades and bulkhead connector.  The factory gauge cluster was removed, cleaned circuit board and all connections, new bulbs and cleaned all the sockets.  All factory gauges work and operate correctly.  All lighting works as should including the high/low beams, dome light, reverse lights, tail lights, parking lights, turn signals, four-way flashers, and license plate light.  The windshield wipers and E-brake also all work as should.  

 DRIVE TRAIN

The very nice running 360 engine is not the original motor and is a 1981 block with 1977 360 heads.  It was rebuilt and received a very nice mild Erson cam with a .443 lift, cast iron factory intake and factory exhaust manifolds and is topped off with an electric choke 625cfm Street Demon carb.  It feels extremely good and has good power.  The excellent sounding full exhaust is a fully welded exhaust system that goes into a dual inlet Dynomax Muffler and a single 3” outlet.   

The 727 automatic shifts excellent through the gears and is an absolute blast to drive!  It has been recently freshened up.  The Warlock has an 8 1/4 rear-end with a 2.94 gears and is a non sure-grip unit.  This excellent drive train combo runs and drives very good in all conditions whether highway or city driving. 

I recently took it on an 1 1/2 hour road trip and the Warlock ran excellent and had no issues!!!

 SUSPENSION

The suspension has completely been redone recently and has received newer upper and lower ball joints, control arm bushings, shocks and front springs.  It also has a 2” lowering kit with lower control arms, drop shackles and flipped front mounts.  The front and rear wheels are the Mopar cop car wheels that are 15x7’s.  The warlock handles and drives extremely nice and you will not be disappointed!!!
