Oops, traded again

September 03, 2011, 08:13:22 PM

Recently my automotive ADD kicked in... My daily driver has been a 94 dodge ram standard cab short bed 4x4 5-speed for about 6 months I cant stand a standard cab... work trucks.. yeah I love em. But its about as usless as a box of condoms in a Monastery for a daily driver to me.

Soooo I got on the old craigslist barter section and found this:

Its a 99 dakota sport 3.9L with 96k on the motor and 187k on the body. The underside is spotless. Interior cleaned up real nice, needs the headliner re-upholstered and some various plastic peices. The body is 95% straight..... it needs some dents removed on the ext cab parts but the rockers are solid and the bed is solid.

The ram was rusted everywhere, it wandered, it was jankified.... but it made him happy too.

Whatchay'all think?

Funny, I will be looking for a late 90's Dakota to replace my S10 very soon...

Nice. That 3.9 is a pretty stout motor, I had 96 Ram with that motor and a 5 speed, it was a great daily driver, got decent mileage, and when I needed to pull something it always did the job.

This makes the 3rd dakota Ive owned. Ive had the 1st 2nd and 3rd gen now. I still have the 2nd gen. Shes my workhorse. Ugly as sin and powerful enough to smoke 31's all day long
