I know about the late '70s PU's being diesel, but never seen a car with a diesel from the factory. I'm guessing someone did this swap during the second gas crisis...... 1971 Dodge dart $12,000 Rare 1971 dodge dart diesel. All documentation dating back to new, every receipt for anything ever done to the car. Many cool upgrades ( power windows, power breaks, power antenna ect. ) solid no rot. Runs great and gets 35 mpg. Many extra parts included. Nice turn key car. I can only find 2 others on the internet 1971 Diesel Linky John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

If you look closely, you can see the AC vents are still in place under the dash. I wonder just how slow it really is? (I've ridden in a microbus ) John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

Slow as molasses but got great mileage! Glad I still don't have it...LOL..

Had I known it were some sort of semi sanctioned conversion I would of bought it to play with. It was in good shape and under $1500. Or maybe it was a good thing I didnt. STOP POTATO HATE!

The Aftermarket Bully Dog Propane boost system for Diesel Dodge Rams had noticeable boost on hills. What could a modern knowledge of cylinder head porting do to peak output?
