5.7L Hemi-Powered 1979 Dodge W200 Utiline Power Wagon 4×4 4-Speed 

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE  

The 1979 Dodge W200 was a rugged three-quarter-ton, four-wheel-drive pickup in Dodge’s respected D/W-Series truck lineup. Sold under the Power Wagon banner, the W200 was designed for heavy work, featuring a 4x4 drivetrain, and durable suspension. The model was offered in several body styles, including regular cab, Club Cab, and Crew Cab configurations. In 1979, Dodge updated the truck’s appearance with a revised front end and rectangular headlights on higher trim levels. The Utiline version was especially distinctive, using a traditional stepside bed with exposed rear fenders.  

This 1979 Utiline Power Wagon was acquired by the seller in August 2015 and fitted with a 5.7L Hemi V8 crate engine in 2017. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case.  

The body is finished in green and features a regular cab, as well as a stepside bed with a fuel can mounted on the left and a spare 16" steel wheel on the right. Additional features include a bright grille trim and a rear step bumper with a hitch receiver.  

The cabin is equipped with a bench seat upholstered in gray cloth, joined by replacement carpets and a green dashboard.

This Power Wagon is offered at no reserve in California with a clean Colorado title in the seller's name.
