This is a Beautiful One Owner 1979 Dodge B200 Maxi Wagon Sportsman SE
This iconic Dodge Sportsman SE van is a true survivor! We were fortunate enough to purchase it from the original owner who was 82 years old. Because this was special-ordered and how it was maintained since new, speaks volumes. He chose the top-of-the-line vehicle from the Montague, Michigan Dodge dealer"s order book, checking nearly every available option. When it arrived, he had the van professionally rust-proofed, and repeated that service every five years thereafter (the Ziebart application sites can be seen on the front-fender tops in the door-jamb areas). He called it “the family fun bus” and used its commodious space almost exclusively for family trips. Just after taking delivery, he also had full dual exhaust installed.
Over its life, this Sportsman SE was literally garage-kept, and never driven during the winter. The 71,000 miles shown on the working odometer—a mere 1,700 miles per year over its life—is an extremely low number by any standard. Finally, keeping a vehicle"s original factory window sticker (included) for 41 years is yet another piece of evidence this van has been loved through the years.
Outside, the van"s sharp two-tone Canyon Red Sunfire Metallic-and-Wedgewood Gray Metallic exterior paint is in excellent condition overall. Exceptions include one small wear-mark on the rear door, two small dents on the same door, a minor dent on the driver-side rear fender, and a minor ding on the passenger side. Chrome bright work, full wheel covers, lenses, factory emblems, windshield and other glass all display virtually no wear or sign of even slight damage. New whitewall tires have recently replaced the original optional whitewalls.
Inside, the condition of the “family fun bus” suggests dad enforced some pretty strict rules over kids" behavior in the vehicle. All the lovely red fabric upholstery is clean, fresh-looking, and without rips or tears. The carpeting literally looks new with one exception: in the cargo area, there"s a stain from the owner"s wife once spilling bleach (a grocery shopping trip that did not end well) There are red privacy curtains included for all the windows. The woodgrain trim on the dash and door panels is in excellent condition showing only a couple of wear marks (most noticeable on the passenger-side dash).
Another very cool feature is the very rare "Travel Seat" option This allows the rear two rows of seats to be front-facing for riding, or facing each other with a table for dining, or folded flat for a double-bed. This turns a normal passenger van into a Weekender Type Class B CamperVan. It also has an aftermarket pop-up roof vent located over the rear cargo area was added by the owner. Dashboard controls are all present and, with the exception of the horn and the air-conditioning system which will also require servicing, operational. An aftermarket windshield-wiper interval control, an analog dash-mounted compass, an indoor-outdoor digital thermometer, and a secondary backup ignition are in place. The optional factory steering wheel shows patina consistent with its age, and the upper dash surfaces display some sun-fading and minor discoloration.
Under the short hood, the engine compartment (fully serviceable from inside the van after the engine cover is removed) is complete and tidy. The original 360-cubic inch V8 engine is in place, linked to the automatic transmission and 3.2-ratio rear differential. The van"s undercarriage is also complete displaying the dual exhaust, replacement shock absorbers, and only expected surface rust. Recent service included a new power-steering box, replacement of the power-steering line, correction of a vacuum-line leak, and an oil and filter change and front end alignment .
We will have more pics on our website at www.dandlautosales.com .
