Vehicle description
1979 Dodge D150 Custom VIN: D14JE9S244746 I’m often asked where we find these clean, unique vehicles. One of my best friends cruises parking lots of retirement homes, Elks clubs, our V.F.W. Hall and the small-town back streets of rural areas near Seattle. He can spot a seatbelt slammed in a door a mile away… He’ll notice when a nice old car or truck is driving with a turn signal left on just a little too long and he positively twitches with glee when a vehicle with metal bumpers passes by! Occasionally, we’ll get really lucky and find one sitting there right under our noses. That’s the case with this nice truck as it belonged to a neighbor right near our place here in nearby Lynnwood. If you’re in the market for a clean vintage pickup, please give this Dodge D150 4x2 your kind attention. Feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss a sale before the end of the Ebay auction listing. My name is Mark and you can reach me directly by phone or text at 206/914-1173. CONDITION: The photos really tell the truck’s story. It has spent most of its life here in the Great Pacific Northwest driving our fresh western Washington roads. From the photos, you’ll see the rig has obviously been well cared for over the years. We’ve found absolutely NO title issues involving major accidents, storm damage, insurance salvage, theft recovery, repossession or any other nasty negatives to cause you concern as the next caretaker! I take pride in our vehicles and feel you should know as much about them as possible. Accordingly, here’s a list of the positives and any small things needing attention: The overall exterior is in overall good condition. The rig wears the factory-color light blue metallic paint and has had a re-spray sometime in the past. Rust? Please, this classic Dodge HATES rust. There is evidence of some body filler and a few spots around the right rear wheelwell and fender bottom, but you’ll be hard pressed to find major issues here to worry about. Because we rarely get snow west of the Cascades in both Washington and Oregon, our winter roads are rarely salted. Climb over, under and throughout this rig - I know you’ll come up smiling! One turn of the key and the strong 318 cubic inch V-8 fires right up. There’s a nice throaty rumble to the exhaust through the Flowmaster-type twin mufflers. The 727 automatic transmission shifts just as it should with no slippage or other issues. Power steering makes driving easy and the front disk brakes stop the rig with no pulling or binding. All four 17-inch Eagle Alloy wheels are wrapped with low profile radials with at least 50-60% remaining tread. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve gotten a “thumbs up” pulling in at the gas station from a vintage truck admirer! Please take another look at the interior pics. A short time ago the front bench upholstery was redone with fabric inserts and blue piping. It’s in great shape! At the same time the matching insert material was used on the headliner. I’m not sure if these are original carpets, but it’s pretty obvious they’ve been protected with floor mats. About the only negatives we’ve encountered are: The factory AM/FM stereo is still in place but doesn’t come on and there’s a windshield crack on the passenger’s side. There’s only 48.5K showing on the 5-digit odometer but you can figure it’s likely turned over at least once in the last 40 years. That’s about it! If you’re thinking of bidding on a comparable Chevy or Ford pickup of similar vintage, you really owe it to yourself to drive and look this nice D150 over first! Because of the amount of money involved in buying a vehicle, we require that Ebay members with a feedback history of five or fewer transactions call, text or email before placing a bid. If I don’t have this initial contact, your bid may be cancelled. As I’ve outlined above, the phone number to talk directly to me is 206/914-1173 . Please feel free to call any time during the auction. My name is MARK. You’re welcome and encouraged to come by my Auburn, WA warehouse to inspect & drive the truck (a professional inspection is fine, too). You might also think about making an offer as many of my vehicles sell to smart “early birds” that contact me and work out a deal prior to the auction’s end. I always reserve the right to sell during this period. A Few Additional Terms and Conditions: Full payment is due by cash (in person only) a wire transfer or other certified funds within seven business days unless prior arrangements have been made with me. I can accept credit or debit cards but will first need to invoice you and ask that the 3.5% fee our processor (SQUARE) charges us be added. Please remember you’re bidding to buy and I fully expect the winner to fulfill their Ebay contract! You’re not bidding to hold or then come inspect and test-drive the vehicle later - You’re more than welcome to do this before the auction ends. Many of our past buyers from as far away as Alaska, Arizona, the Midwest, Canada, Florida, New York and even the Mexican Baja have flown in here to Seattle and then started a road trip home the same day. While I have every confidence, the truck could handle a long-distance drive, it’s four decades years old and earned the right to do short sprints instead of a full-blown marathon. Transport usually equals (or is cheaper) when all the ancillary costs are added in (and no flat tire to deal with in the middle of nowhere when shipping either). As a respected Ebay seller with many satisfied online buyers, I want you to bid with confidence knowing that this truck runs and drives out as it should AND that it is being accurately represented to you! Please don’t be upset if I miss a minor flaw or some issue comes up. NO used vehicle is ever perfect. If you decide to have the Dodge shipped home, there are numerous vehicle transport companies to choose from. While delivery of the truck and company chosen are the responsibility of the BUYER , I ship vehicles regularly and I have access to the nationwide Central Dispatch system . I can check to see what typical delivery costs have been to your area recently and then post a transport offer at a fair price. We usually then have a shipper lined up within a few days. The buyer then pays the transporter COD when they arrive with the vehicle . No upfront deposit or other hassles. The truck can be stored free of charge at my location for up to fourteen days after the auction ends assuming full payment has been received. After that period storage is $20 per day. The vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is, with no physical warranty expressed or implied. All information described above is based on the observed condition when the listing was placed. Please don’t be upset by a missed flaw or some unforeseen problem! No vintage used car or truck is ever perfect.
