Incredibly, this is a factory survivor, 90,000 mile truck. Eight sensors and an electronic computer combine to adjust spark advance correctly for all driving conditions. David was stopped in his tracks. In the first year he drove it 3,600 miles to church, on dates, and on special occasions, but mostly back to the dealer for warranty work. For best Dodge touch up paint results, let your Dodge's finish dry for thirty days and then apply a good quality automotive wax.
Apply several thin coats of Dodge touch up paint to build up the damaged paint area to the same depth as the surrounding surface. They were touted in ads for their toughness, not for their number of cup holders or their heated steering wheels. It would be nice if you made a single coat paint available. This 1978 Dodge W100 ShortBox Pickup came from out west and has a Big Block 440 V8 to boot. The 1970s were a frustrating time for car lovers. Outside of some small bits and touchups, this truck is just as it was when it rolled out the back door of a factory in 1978. It tends to send power to the slipping wheels though.
The Warlock featured custom gold wheels, wide tires, bucket seats, a Utiline bed, and oak racks for the bed. Tom Hoover wasted no time in exploiting these loopholes. These are the factory wheels on the truck. But rarity does not mean you can't use this for work or play. The Silent Shaft used a counter-rotating balance shaft on each side of the crankshaft to reduce vibration and noise.
Spray's easily with a great nozzle pattern. Electronic ignition was standard for all domestic engines. First, the Product Planning Division wanted the truck to be more distinctive and more saleable. The LeBaron shared a basic body and wheelbase with Volare and , but used a considerably more restrained exterior. Jim even cut some donuts for us to get some action photos. Any engine could be ordered with the Fury in 1978, from slant six to 400 V8; in 1979, the biggest engine would be the 360. All lights, Blinkers, wipers are working and this thing just looks great!!! Every V8 was available the 400 V8 with option codes E64 and E68 - thanks, Tom Jablonowski.
They needed something with better aero to stay competitive. It was the last year that a 440ci engine could be optioned and this truck has it. The automatic-transmission line pressure for reverse was modulated to a variable 150 to 260 pounds per square inch for 1978 from a constant 260 psi, for greater reliability. Regarding interiors, it seems impossible to put that in a list. Even on the dry West Coast, we struggle to remember the last time we even saw one before running across this pristine example at Mopars at the Strip. Jim even cut some donuts for us to get some action photos.
Then I added the options of both my cars for comparison - the data concerning the Coronet are marked reddish, those on the Fury in green. The cab looks like new. Originally, the vertical exhaust stacks were to have big, rig-style flappers, but that setup proved too loud, so curved chrome tips were substituted. It was kind of like a Cordoba, but more muscular. I just cannot stop staring at this damned thing! While both of those cars had blunt noses, the Magnum had a slope nose with four rectangular headlights behind clear aero covers. It was 1981 by then, and the newfound power and increased handling was so noticeable that David started driving the Magnum again and racked up another 3,100 miles.
If you happen to order again we'll gladly combine shipping if you make us aware that you have 2 orders. It had 360 mounts, not 400. The new Omni, in its first partial-production year, looked promising with 71,000 units sold, and no severe quality glitches surfacing, even if it was commonly thought to be a Rabbit imitator. These are largely considered the best light trucks of their era except for one thing. Plymouth was still the 1 Chrysler division, turning in 96,000 sales for the new, part-year Horizon alone; with the big seller, as with Dodge and Chrysler, being the F-Body, the Volare, with nearly 218,000 copies being sold the four doors sedan was a littel more popular than the wagon, which in turn was a little more popular than the coupe. Leakproof valve-cover gaskets were used under the chrome-plated valve covers.
When making these lists, I had to limit myself to certain years and models. This one just has that perfect old premium pickup feeling, and you will love opening up the side vent windows and the rear sliding glass, and letting the breeze trickle through as you journey on, or off-road. The quoted power figure was 225 hp at 4,000 rpm. So why did these things even exist? It was somewhat like a Charger, but far more aggressive. Apply Primer Before Painting Your Dodge If you have an unpainted surface on your Dodge, like bare metal or plastic, apply primer before Dodge touch up paint! Let the clearcoat dry overnight, or longer if temperatures are less than 70 degrees F.
