FOR SALE:

1987 Dodge Ram truck (¾-ton, 5.9L V8) conversion van, 111k miles, original owner, towing package - $1995
SPECS/FEATURES:
- 5.9L V8 engine provides massive torque (effortlessly hauled a 25-foot prowler camping trailer) and runs on regular (87 octane) gas
- heavy duty transmission geared for hauling, with transmission cooler
- power door locks
- moonroof windows
- running boards
- interior spotlights, map lights and mood lights (original)
- factory tinted windows
- front and middle captains chairs (PLUSH)
- rear bench seat (PLUSH) which folds down into a sleepable surface
- class-C (heavy duty) towing package/hitch with electrical and brake assist
- alloy wheels (not original, but “appropriate” style. NOT chrome.)
- wheel locks (yes, we still have the key and instructions)
- 5” television integrated into ceiling (factory original)
- Sony AM/FM/cassette stereo

The only problems are: The A/C does not blow cold, and the front windows have difficulty opening - I believe it is a stripped gear, the part is about $40 per window. I don't have the time to fix them.

- 111k actual miles
- no accidents
- non-smoker
- interior was professionally reupholstered a few years ago
- Tires have plenty tread left, as does the spare. Mud/snow rated, great dunlops
- Tuned up engine 100 miles ago, which includes new spark plugs, plug wires, rotor, distributor cap, air filter, and a re-torquing the valve cover bolts
- Alternator was replaced about 5 years ago
- Oil/filter changed 300 miles ago
- Coolant was changed 2 or 3 years ago
- Chrome bits like the bumpers, door handles and mirrors still look pretty nice
- Runs great and does not overheat, even in hot NC summers. Temp stays exactly where it should be
- Seats are in excellent shape
- All guages work, all guage illumination works
- Transmission shifts perfectly
- Engine does not burn or leak oil
- Brakes still have a lot of life in them, have been replaced
- New wiper blades, and the washer fluid sprayers work
- Windshield replaced a few years ago when the original one was cracked
- Steering column was professionally re-tightened a couple years ago (it had just gotten sloppy from aging)
- Battery is a couple years old, cranks well
- heater is great, blower works great
- no weird electrical problems, no blown fuses, NOTHING.
- very, very reliable. One of the most problem-free vehicles my family has owned.

I am not a dealer, I am a private owner. I cannot finance your purchase. This is a "cash or bank transfer" sale only. I am aware of how scams operate.
