New member of the family

I was in the market for a big block tow vehicle that could haul the whole family and this is what I found. 1978 D200 long crew, 440, auto, ac, tilt wheel, cruise, Adventurer SE package with a factory tach and lower body molding. According to Dodge the color is "butterscotch". Upgraded CD player, slide hitch, new tires and brakes, paint and interior done about 5 years ago, and the bonus item is it passed a California smog test with flying colors. I've been in the market for a rust free long crew for awhile, this isn't the year I'd hoped to find, but it has just about every option and it runs great! Found it on eBay with a Buy It Now of $3100. It's not an early Swepty, but now when I find that rare 1 of 1 CSS sitting on flat tires in a barn I have a way of getting it home.
