1985 Dodge Ramcharger SE Prospector Description

Up for auction is my pride & joy. Just look at my eBay name: Ramcharged! My wife and I drove away from our wedding ceremony in this truck as newlyweds. But, after having 3 kids and the expenses that come with that, it is time to sell it and put my resources toward family priorities. It is time for some someone else to enjoy owning this truck. I take comfort in that the legacy of my Ramcharger will live on by putting the money I raise toward a much-needed addition to my house. I wanted to give eBay a try before I attept to sell by other channels.
I bought this truck in 2009, as a 3rd fun vehicle. I fell in love the the fact that this truck was so well-preserved in its original condition, as if it drove straight out of the 80s (it even has the original floor mats). At that time it had about 62,000 miles on it (the title states "actual miles" but it may be impossible to know if it ever went past 99,999). Since then I have put another 6,000 miles on it over an 8 year span. I've barely driven it in the winter because I didn't want the Ohio salt to cause rust. I've seen Ramchargers in other parts of the country with less rust, but I can't recall ever seeing another in Ohio this old with so little rust. During my ownership it has mostly been stored in a garage or under a cover, but has spent some time uncovered in my driveway. Just recently I am starting to see waht I think could be some surface rust bubbling underneath the paint in a couple areas, but you woudn't notice it unless you were looking for it.
This truck runs and drives good. I've driven it several times this month to confirm that; I just had the oil changed too. I have never had any issues/problems with the drivetrain. I do need to mention that the Engine Maint light has been on for a while, probably over a year, and I don't know how to reset it. As you can see both the interior and exterior are in remarkably good shape considering the age. The front diver-side fender has a dent (which never bothered me because I thought it added character). There is a long list of imperfections and minor repairs needed. The include: the A/C does not work, the driver-side power window does not work, the power locks are malfunctioning, the gas gauge is not fully accurate (it runs out of gas around 1/8 tank, so I always just put in gas at 1/4 tank), the roof air vent lets in some water (should be an easy fix by smearing some more sealent) there is a rip in the trunk carpet, the ceiling fabric fell (so I pinned it up using red pins), driver-side mirror has a crack, the front-facing driver-side turn signal doesn't always work (I am told the wiring needs fixed). Despite the minor flaws, this truck is clearly awesome. I will inclued the pictured Haynes repair maunal as I won't need it any longer. I have done some improvements to it during my ownership, including installing new CD player and new Polk Audio 6x9 speakers, new rear Goodyear Tires, and new OE style grill.
