Dennis’ multi-car adventure also includes a few epic Jeep CJs from the 1970s and 1980s.
It’s no secret that Dennis Collins is a big fan of Jeep CJs from the 1970s and 1980s; we’ve seen him travel as far as Central America in pursuit of these vehicles. So, a trip to snow-covered Wisconsin for a five-Jeep buy doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.
But this outing includes a bonus beyond the CJs; a near-mint 1975 Dodge D100 that Collins is eager to bring back to Texas. The crisp yellow and white truck “bleeds 70s cool.” Let’s see how Dennis’ latest classic car rescue went.
A Rare 1976 Dodge D100 Heads Home With Dennis Collins
While not quite a time capsule, the 1975 Dodge D100 Power Wagon appears bright and shiny at a glance. The interior is equally noteworthy and looks hardly used. It’s all due to the unnamed seller’s diligence and only 51,000 miles on the odometer.
But what also distinguishes this pristine Power Wagon are its options, starting with the short cargo bed and four-wheel drive. Meanwhile, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes complete the equipment list.
Collins remarks he’s never seen a D100 configured like this and dubs this Dodge as “crazy rare.” And despite almost 50 years of age, the truck starts up without issue.
A Herd Of Jeep CJs Waiting For A New Home
Collins spends most of his time gathering the five garage-stored Jeep CJs. Remarkably, all are H-code models equipped with a 304 cubic-inch V8, and four are running. He’s particularly happy about a rust-free 1982 Jeep Scrambler equipped with a factory WARN winch and original paint.
Yet, it’s a 1980 Jeep CJ-5 Golden Eagle that really caught Collins’ eye. The original P1 Classic Black paint is extremely rare, as is that 1980 was the last year for the Golden Eagle edition. 1980 was also the first year for the T176 four-speed transmission and the Dana 300 differential.
How Much Is A 1975 Dodge D100 Worth?
Dodge offered a dizzying array of configurations for the D100 truck in 1975. In fact, Hagerty lists 24 variants alone for this model and model year. Collins didn’t disclose many details about this pickup, but we can surmise from the two-tone color scheme that it’s a Dodge D100 Adventurer in Sweptline. It’s also likely got the 318 V8, given the seller’s penchant for larger engines.
Hagerty says this truck is worth $8,300 to $34,100 depending on condition (fair to concours). A 440 V8 under the hood would add another 10% to these valuations, although Collins would have mentioned if that powerplant was part of the pickup.
