When ordinary just won't do

Here’s Another Spotless Dodge Power Wagon for You to Consider

The rising popularity of these vintage Dodge Power Wagons, as indicated by the number of great restorations coming up for sale, means investing in one of these is almost a no brainer for anyone that likes the looks and wants a truck with real muscle, not just a “muscle truck.” Drive one like this for years, take care of it and pass it down as a family heirloom or maybe sell it for what you have in it, or even more.

This one is absolutely spotless top and bottom. The seller provided lots of underbody photos to show the attention to detail that was taken during the frame off restoration. New wood in the bed and everything looks just perfect. You could take this to shows and take home trophies, or you could see where that back road up the mountain leads. It’s ready either way.

Sorry, no heated power seats, but a great place to work
