Vehicle Description
1987 Dodge Ramcharger 150 LE The Ramcharger is mighty tough. But inside, the cloth high back front bucket and rear bench seats, included on the Ramcharger LE models and shown here in Twilight Blue, are comfortable enough for car driving dudes. Plus, each Ramcharger model offers an available split back bench seat. And either the family or sport driver will marvel at the firm feel of the new 15-inch deluxe steering wheel. There's room. There's class. There's thoughtful design. You'll wind up loving the 1987 Ramcharger from the inside out. From the 1987 sales brochure. For consignment, a 1987 Dodge Ramcharger 150 LE with a title verified 50,398 actual miles. Here's a nicely preserved full sized SUV from the early days of SUVs when they were still rugged with hints of interior comfort that would soon increase with the introduction of soccer mom friendly SUV's in the early 90's. ***Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.***  Exterior Two tone was still in vogue in '87 and demonstrated here by the single stage Twilight Blue Poly sandwiched by Ice Blue. Up front, the Ramcharger shares its fascia with the entire '87 truck line and includes the iconic hood ornament and of course, chrome bumpers. Large mirrors flank the cabin and the rear side windows are not only tinted, but fantastically curved to the roofline, but gives way to the period's boxy rear end shared by full sized SUV's of the time. Rectangular exhaust tips peek from behind each rear wheel, those being factory 15-inch units wrapped in 255/70R15 tires. Imperfections are few and include some spotting, chips throughout, some bubbling on lower panel, a couple of small dings in rear bumper, scratch in filler panel, and light rust on front bumper wrap around. Interior A move towards commuter comfort can be seen immediately on the door panels, with blue cloth inserts, chrome switches, molded plastic with padded armrest, and carpeted lowers and both are in excellent condition. Cloth is used on the bucket seats, blue like the brochure version, in great shape with the exception of tears in the driver's seat, while the rear bench looks showroom fresh and the passenger seat almost on par. A handsome presentation awaits the driver with a black steering wheel matching the black bezels and faces of the gauges, while orange needles and text blend well with the honey colored woodgrain faceplate around the cluster and instrumentation and the updated AM/FM/CD radio. The dash pad is unmarred. On our way back, we have a trunk that doubles as a speaker box, sitting on a carpeted floor while the headliner above looks pristine and features a rear vent. Drivetrain All's clean under the hood where you'll find a 318ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor mated to a date-correct A727 3-speed automatic transmission. Power is sent to the rear axle only, a 9 ¼ unit with 3.21 gears and limited slip. Undercarriage Clean and dry underneath where dual exhaust runs through FlowMaster mufflers on their way to the double rear exit. There are no catalytic converters on board. Power brakes include disc in front and drums in the back with coil springs up front and leaf springs in back noted as suspension.  Drive-Ability Why, don't mind if we do! There's no shortage of vintage SUV fans around here, but they'll have to watch from the sidelines as we roll this boxy blue beauty onto the test loop and run it through its functional examination. The brochure wasn't fibbing, this is a comfortable ride and you can thank this '87 for the overwhelming comfort of your Durango R/T! Meanwhile, the truck provides a great view from on high and all functions operate on board just as they should. And it's back to the truck room for this Dodge. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the t |
