BaT Auction Success Story: 2500 Miles Home in a 1986 Dodge D150

This just in from, the buyer of the 1986 Dodge D150 that sold on BaT Auctions 4/24/18 (link):

“Here’s an update on the D150. After my purchase, I tried finding a transporter to ship the truck from Oregon to Illinois, but after 2 weeks with no luck I decided to buy a one-way flight and drive it back.

The seller, Peter, picked me up at the airport in Eugene, gave me a rundown of the truck and I was soon on the road. Over the next few days I took the long way home (see attached map), enjoying the views along the way. The truck made the 2,500 mile journey without skipping a beat.

Since I’ve brought it back, I have made some changes to the truck to bring it closer to my vision. I have enjoyed adding miles to it, as well as getting thumbs up and comments from people who see it.

I have attached a couple pictures from my road trip as well as a recent one to show how the truck currently sits.

I always look forward to seeing interesting cars on Bring a Trailer.”

Sounds like a great road trip through a beautiful part of the country! Thank you for the updat us!
