1978 Dodge Diplomat Chrysler Woody Family Truckster Estate Wagon survivor Az V8

1978 Chrysler Town & Country Wood Panel wagon

1978 Dodge Diplomat
4dr Estate Wagon
(aka the family truckster)

A real part of Americana, 70s station wagon w/ faux wood
this is one car I really hate to sell. But if we do we do.
Chances of finding another one for around this price.. slim to none.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
a buddy of mine has been taking care of this car for his older
customer for about 20 yrs. Until about a yr ago they decide to
park it because she couldnt drive well at her age. Gas in the tank
doesnt smell bad, or for now Im running the car off a small
container of fresh gas under the hood. I may actually connect it back
on Monday and see if all the fuel pump etc is still functional from
the pump back to the tank. After getting fuel to the carb, ithin a
few cranks the car fired right up and idles fine. Ive driven it around
our large parking lot a few times too. Trans and brakes feel okay too.
PS works, C blows and actually feels cold too considering the temps
here have been around 70 during the day.

DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, pparently some people
who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules.
So if you have under 10 feedbacks, ll be emailing you if you bid to
make sure you are legit, f we do please reply or we will cancel your bid.
Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition
that are still affordable to most buyers.

DRIVETRAIN: this car has its factory V8 318 and bone stock basically
Under the hood. Was maintained very well for the last 20 yrs (until it
had sat for about a yr now) Motor has no weird smoke or noises coming
from it., uto trans goes into gear fine and brakes work well too.
The car has decent power for its 70s lean burn technology, urprised
me. I expected less power. I think once the fuel system gets sorted out
and its running off the main tank again, ll will be okay for whatever you
decide to do to it. It did get a pack rat under the hood too for a while.
We repaired a few wires to get it up and running again. It wasnt near as
bad as we expected.

INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, his probably has the most wear
and tear on the car, ut keep in mind its 30+ yrs old in Az. But luckily
the car has been garaged most of its life too, o even the dash pad is
good. WHILE IN HIBERNATION the car DID get a few pack rats living inside.
The carpet is old and worn anyways, ut my first suggestion would be to
replace or really clean the floor carpets. Headliner finally started coming
apart too. Front seat has a tear in one of the seams too. Other then all
that, heck out the pics, ost of the interior is very presentable.
I cant get ANY of the PW to move, ut my guess its a power wire or maybe
relay or fuse. Ill try to look into that this week. Ive looked UNDER the front
dash for pack rat wiring damage and could see none, hich was a surprise.
Most of the pack rat smell is gone, ut we put Carpet fresh deodorizer on
the carpets to help alleviate the smell, nd its helped alot.

EXTERIOR:the body is pretty clean on a car this old. Very straight for
the most part from front to back, ut both front fenders do have minor damage.
There really is NO rust to speak of on the body or floors at all, xcept for one
small area behind the PS rear wheel. Other then that, t is your typical low rust
and rot Az southwest survivor vehicle. Glass is all good too. The faux wood is in
really nice shape too, ut in person you can see some of the flaws better from age.
Chrome on the bumpers and trim in very nice shape too.

SUSPENSION:the suspension feels nice and normal .
and the tires are in decent shape too, e just put a brand new tire on the
RF of the car due to a non repairable puncture. No weird noises coming
from the car while gliding down the road, ut Im sure its going to need some
bushings replaced in the future because its not restored and of its age but keep
in mind, he older last owner, lways fixed stuff when it needed to be done
like clockwork before it was parked.
At least for now once some things are fixed it may be okay enough the way it
is to ride around town, dont see any reason why not.

There you have it, robably The BEST represented Wagons on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, ope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
I honestly see some other ads with crappy pics in them and cant
believe people even are bidding on their cars... with our ads, ou
get the best pics possible ~!
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, t still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. This is one of the MOST RUST FREE CARs we have
sold over the years, ts still better then most out there for sale
or bondo-ed up to look restored.
I can tell you though, f you look down the sides of this car on both
Sides, dont see tons of waves running down the body like some cars
Its still so clean, f the car doesnt sell, m okay with that too
because Id love to keep it its that nice.
Also, f you buy a car thats been "restored", ho knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, or a quick buck and quality suffers.
