1996 Dodge Dakota Sport odometer: 660000 automatic transmission title : clean

I am selling my 1996 Dodge Dakota Sport Truck as is....Not running....Has very low mileage...66,000 original....Will run for a while but then sometimes not at all....Has a homemade Topper on it.....I have put $800.00 worth of parts in it at one place....Almost 2,000 at Larry Miller Dodge to fix the problem and they said it was fixed....Asking 3,500....Please Call .....It is currently located near 1st and River....

 

Huh... well that's definitely interesting. I probably would have just bought a small motorhome, but this guy really got creative. Pretty nice truck though.

 

If I didn't just blow all my money on my trip to virginia I would be interested.

You could always just tow it to a field and have a mobile house on the prairie...I'll show myself out...

 

Tow being the operant word. . .

 

Hmm... goofy but also kinda cool and compelling.
Put that DIY cap in a Little Red Express style Dakota and we'd be cooking.
Nice looking truck as it is though.

Lemme see.. fly to tucson.... convince Brian to let me buy him a few beers... buy truck.. head to texas and buy a sailboat.... drive back.... stopping occasionally on the way, in random locations.

Possible intermittent wiring problem ?

 

Wow, someone put a lot of effort into that topper! I hate to say, it must have a horrible aerodynamic effect but it doesn't actually look half bad. Doesn't look half good, but it doesn't look half bad either!

 

Not to brag but I got my clean running 94 with 134K on it for $900. I've spent about $1K on the minor flaws so far and its doing well. About $500 or so of that was money I spent out of ignorance. Seems like the only problem I needed to address aside from the EGR is proper adjustment of the TV cable at the throttle Body and tranny. The rest was plugs wires etc your normally replaced parts.

 

HA! ha ha ha

 

I paid 2500 for my 93 that had 69k on it. Just hit 90k the other day on her. It didn't come with a built in hippie pad though.
