[SOLD] 1977 Dodge Warlock South Carolina

[moparman9]

I have a 1977 Adventurer with the Warlock package. 360 two barrel, Automatic A/C PS PB. Still has the tuff wheel, original mags and bucket seats. Pinstriping is still visible on the dash, but previous repaints have obscured the rest. This is a restoration project, needs everything. I bought it a few months ago, but I haven't had time to do anything to it, and with my work schedule that doesn't seem likely to change anytime soon. I have not tried to even start it. There is rust as seen in the pictures. The pictures were taken this afternoon, after I knocked all the dirt off with the pressure washer, so they reflect the current condition. I have a clear title in my name. I am asking $1800 cash slightly negotiable. Buyer must pick up at my residence in Williamston, SC (near Greenville).

Thanks for the offer, Mtrhead! I love Dusters, but those are missing alot of parts I don't have! If you happened to have a complete car, we could definitely talk

Does the 360 run or even turn over? Your "Needs everything" is just far too vague. Rearend? Trans? Nothing more to know at all? I don't want or need it but my junior and/or his friends might be very interested. I'm basically asking for them before I show it to them.
TIA for any additional info.

RedFish,
Thanks for the reply. I have not tried to start the truck, I have just been working too many hours lately, but I intend to look into it if/when I get a chance. It looks like a 9-1/2 rear end to me and I am pretty sure it has a 727 trans. The only thing I know of that is missing after my cursory examination is the A/C condenser, looks like it may have been stolen for scrap. I will add more info as I discover it. You are more than welcome to come over and take a look at it in person.

UPDATE:
Today I replaced the battery cables, pulled all the spark plugs, and put a couple tablespoons of Marvel Mystery Oil down each spark plug hole. Let that soak for a while, and turned the engine over a few turns with a socket and ratchet on the front crankshaft bolt. Due to the unknown condition of the fuel tank, I connected a gas can to the fuel pump inlet and installed a clear fuel filter. Cranked the engine over and she started! Smoked as expected for a few minutes with clacking lifters, but settled down and ran smoothly with no smoke after about 20 minutes. The engine sounds good. I did engage the transmission into forward and reverse, but I did not try to drive it as I have not bled the brakes as of yet. The fuel pump is leaking out the bottom, so it will need to be replaced. I did put some OK used tires on it that all match and are holding air. With operational brakes, I think the truck could be driven.
I have a video of the engine running, which I would happily send to any seriously interested parties who contact me via PM.
With the engine not an unknown anymore, I am pretty firm on the price. (Probably selling too cheap!)
Also open to a running 2dr. A-body trade.

How is the rain gutter and cab near it?

Where is the worst rust on it other than the floors?

I actually already have a "parts truck" with a very rotten cab.

Was it originally blue?

Fender tag present?

I think the rain gutter looks OK, cab is pretty decent, over all solid. It is dark right now, but I can take some more pictures if I get off work in time tomorrow. Doors have rust, bottom of fenders need patch panels. Battery tray and forward left inner fender/radiator support rusted presumably from battery leakage. Some frame rust on drivers side from leaves trapped between frame and gas tank, frame is still solid in my opinion, I would drive it. Right now I have the gas tank removed to clean out and replace the lines and sending unit. Also just got the brakes working and installed a new fuel pump. Once I get the tank back in it should be pretty much driveable. As for the original color, I think it was black, painted over in gray at some time in the past. As for the fender tag, I cannot find one. I know it should be on the driver side of the radiator support forward of the battery, but there aren't even any rivet holes where a tag might have been at one time.

Did these warlocks have the same high performance 360s as the LRE trucks. ?

To my knowledge, the LRT was only built in 78-79 and had the EH1 high performance 4bbl 360. My truck is a 77, and has a 360 2bbl. I don't if the EH1 was available on Warlocks in 78-79 or not, maybe another forum member has that answer.

 

[plymouth67]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, I think in the Warlocks you could get the whole arsenal of engines available in trucks. I have seen a couple with 440's in them and if memory serves me, I believe I have even seen one with a slant six in it.

 

[70duste]

yes warlocks could come with any engine and 2wd or 4x4 and certain color options also.

 

[Mtrhead]

The Midnight Express was black with a 440

Yeah the rain gutter area has rust through on it on the top of the right windshield pillar post.

2 wheel drive by the looks of the front free rolling disc brake 5 bolt hub.

No. EH1 was only available in the 78 and 79 LRE.
