Discussion - Dodge Adventurer Sport

[PwrWgnWalt]

Saw this and wondered if anyone knew this D-100 for sale in AL? Not sure it's a true "Adventurer Sport", but it does look nice...

Great looking truck, It looks like a "Adventurer Sport" emblem on the interior door pad.
Foley is down near the Gulf coast, about 3 1/2 hours from me. I've been there several times but have never seen the truck. I hope someone will be able to appreciate it.

Dang that thing is pretty amazing

It should have Adventurer Sport emblems on the bed. Also notice it has a Pentastar on both the driver's and passenger's side. I'm thinking perhaps it has had some work/repaint done to it.

Those adventure bed emblems do not look correct for 69-71 trucks.

Yep, someone added the driver side fender pentastar.

Very nice truck! good buy so far too.

Also, it looks like the hood turn signal indicators are not in the right spot.

I also forgot to mention the Adventurer Sport was a 1971 only trim level in a Sweptline.

Great looking truck. Hope the new owner enjoys it. I wanted to show an example of what the correct "Adventurer Sport" badge for the rear fender looks like. Of course I had to include an example of the "Adventurer SE" as well.

Nice truck for sure, only thing I don´t like are the rear bumper, looks a little goofy on this truck.

[HellBelly]

I've never seen the sport emblem. Nice!

[PwrWgnWalt]

Right on everyone! Good eyes!
(and very nice examples of the emblems, SEAnthony!)

Several items that don't add up for this '71-only offering:
Wrong Adventurer script (what shows on the truck is from later 70's)
Interior door trim is all wrong - wrong Adventurer script (& should be on vinyl-covered trim w/brite runners)
Pentastar on driver's fender
Hood turn signals in wrong location (too far from corners)
Wrong tailgate (should not be raised letter; either flat or with bright aluminum placard)
Wrong outside mirrors
Definitely been repainted (see hood hinges)

Nice looking pickup, though! I like the bed rails. See it's been de-listed...
Looks solid, and its amazing what a paint job and some shine will do for 'em!

YES...this is correct...the emblem on the red truck are from the next generation dodge truck...good catch

Yeah..... namely that one poor gal who had the panel fall off her
husband's truck when she was driving it. I hope they're
still happily married....

Yes, I know they are rarer than "hen's teeth" in this shape. I'd been looking for many years for one... found this pickup last year.
Will be going through it and doing a full resto someday: 318/automatic, A/C, power brakes, saddle tanks.
Needs just a little body work, a few trim pieces, cleaned up and a fresh paint job. Interior needs upholstery and dash pad.
Best of all - no rust.
