1974 Dodge Other

1974 Dodge Tradesman 100. 318, auto, cruise, 88k mi. True survivor 70's custom van. Purchased from original owners widow. Properly stored since 1991. Correctly recommissioned, brake system completely overhauled, ignition system updated, fuel system checked, carb rebuilt, fresh oil & filter, coolant flush and brand new battery. Sitting on her original Ansen Sprint slotted mags. Brand new Kenwood Digital Media stereo w/ Bluetooth, Pandora, etc., driving thru the original (5) EC period correct 6x9 Triaxial speakers, sounds great!
Interior is a time capsule. The original 70's purple shag carpet on the floor and ceiling is in great shape with no stains or smells. The vintage wood paneling is also in great condition. The upholstery and drapes were updated to replace the aged originals. The sunroof does not leak nor does the rear roof vent. The fridge and sink are not hooked up. The bucket seats do swivel and are equipped with the 1974 original lap seat belts. The dash is in excellent condition and the original gauges work properly. Vintage tach not hooked up. Vintage leather visor covers. The turn signal stalk needs to be held up manually for right turns, and occasionally the interior blinker indicators don't work but the exterior blinkers do. All glass is good, the rear windows apparently had some tint or something applied back in the day, I have not tried to remove it, doesn't impair visibility.
Basically this is one of the Holy Grail 70's vans. Low miles and ready for your personal touches for the 2018 cruise season. The only cons are the tires are over 10 years old and while they don't exhibit any dry rot, I think they're out of round from sitting. At 45 mph they vibrate but it is smooth before and after 45 mph. The rear bumper has an indentation. The van does not have air conditioning. Engine is smooth as is the trans. She literally does not drip a drop of anything. There is surface rust on the suspension components but the body and floor are RUST FREE.
One of the last good ones, get ready for 2018!
