#203 1979 Plymouth Arrow Sport GT Truck
Ordered new with the Sport package and in Spitfire Orange, this Plymouth Arrow came from a family where it has been owned since day one. Originally a Sweet 16 present for their daughter, this truck has been looked after throughout the last 46 years, and it shows. This truck has 117k original miles, a 105hp 2.6-liter Mitsubishi engine and 5 speed manual transmission. This truck starts, shifts and stops well. Largely original condition and the bed looks like it never hauled a thing! This is a rare truck in its own right, especially with a five speed and the Sport GT appearance package. Don’t miss the chance at a truck no one else will have!
A little history on these trucks….
Between 1979 and 1982, Chrysler sold Mitsubishi Triton pickup trucks as the Dodge Ram 50 and the Plymouth Arrow. The Plymouth Arrow pickup trucks were offered with a range of inline four engines and were no longer sold in North America after 1982. Chrysler wasn't the first Detroit outfit to turn to Japan for a compact truck. The Isuzu-developed Chevrolet LUV had been around since 1972, while Ford introduced the Mazda-based Courier in 1973. Mopar, which was playing catch with its rivals, introduced the Dodge D-50 and Plymouth Arrow Pickup in 1979. The Arrow Pickup was very competitive on paper. It featured a 6.5-foot-long (two-meter-long) bed and a 1,400-pound (635-kg) payload rating. Its Mitsubishi-sourced four-cylinder engines, a 2.0- and a 2.6-liter, generated 93 and 105 horsepower, respectively. It had enough grunt to outgun the Chevrolet LUV and Ford Courier, which barely hit 80 horsepower at the time.
