How about a factory panther pink truck? Found this one locally, I wasnt sure they actually made them factory pink but he tells me this is one of 5 made. He bought this one used from the dealer in 75 and has had it since

Possiblly one of the rarest Dodge trucks on the planet.
Easy to restore trucks too, compared to most cars.
Definitely should get a total restoration.
That is as cool as it gets.

Save it !!!!! Maybe a bunch of guys here could get together and make it the official FCBO project truck.....

What year is that thing? Looks like my Dads old truck except ours was a lime green color that faded to a horrible battleship primer hue. Cool truck I've been looking for one but not half of one...

'72 or '73. Still has the in-cab gas tank.

What we are looking at here is a straight, original paint truck.
Rad support removed, engine out.
Does the owner have the engine? Maybe he does.
Odds are the rad support and grille are there too.
A 72, D200 Adventurer SE, Camper special, with almost every option, AND Panther Pink.
This is a seriously rare, collectible truck my friends.
People restore 43 year old vehicles in far worse condition every day.
Restoration parts are a phone call away.
This is right up there for collectibility.
Hope it falls into the right persons hands, and gets a 100 point restoration. It certainly deserves it.

Camper Special, 4:10 rear, nice, (when new), seats. Can't tell from the tag what the motor was.

The one with the cool minimal grill correct? I remember you couldn't walk by that thing without getting green dust on you. My Dad discovered this crap called colorback and spent the whole Saturday making it shine. It looked really great and it was faded again to flat by Monday.

The comments on the FB link indicate that it is in Ponoka, AB. Close enough for you to do your magic.

Ponoka???? Maybe my old Dealership sold it mmmmmmmm

EDIT: Nope sold at Turnball Motors Edmonton it is a 1972 D200 that the owner switched over to 1/2 ton spindles and a 8.75 rear axle so 4:10's are likely gone. Was a 360V8 which he blew up in the 80's and has sat since. Claims to be 1 of 5

Camper Special, 4:10 rear, nice, (when new), seats. Can't tell from the tag what the motor was.

318, 360 2 barrel or 400 2 barrel were the only available engines for that model, so odds are with all the options it was 400.
Edit: apparently it was a 360.
I think the seats were added.
Tan interior. Seats appear white. No tan bucket seats available in 72 as far as I know.
In 72, the buddy seat had pleated vinyl, so this seat setup may have been added later on.
