Keep/fix up the Dakota! I just had my transmission rebuilt [ after 9 monthes of the truck sitting] and I couldn't be happier. My '84 Power Ram and '01 Caravan Sport are a little miffed because they have been sitting since the Dakota has been on the road again.

 

My 03 Grand Am GT is feeling the same,even though it's better on fuel than the Dak.

There's something about a Dak that just makes you want to drive it as much as possible.
