Time to get it registered and start driving that beauty.
Wow, that tailgate treatment is really cool, do you have a pic from about 10' back with the truck all put back together,
Sounds like your best bet would be to look for another R/T, probably a lot easier to find than a Shelby and I would assume for a lot less money. The R/T has quite a bit more performance and handles...
The 5.2L (318 cu in) engine was probably the most popular V8 that Chrysler every produced so I would think getting parts of any kind would be fairly easy. Was the Shelby Dakota specially built by...
You have to love the price and what a find with only 62,000 miles on it and from where you are I assume it's rust free. I had an 02 R/T in Graphite Metallic that I bought just to get the cowl...
460K on a 4.7, man that is impressive. You say "original engine" but was that mileage put on without any rebuilds?
Looks great! What is the make of that front bumper cover?
Sounds like it's time to get the R/T out of mothballs and garage the Dart. You should have taken advantage of the new OEM $1000 tranny from Chrysler instead of the professional trans rebuild. Don't...
Yup, that's it but I remember seeing something somewhere that showed it smoking the tires.
Spring makes sense, the 1998 brochure was printed in August of 1997. There was an ad in Motortrend in May of '98, I believe it was a two page ad, that showed a flame red R/T doing a smoke show with...
I recently got a 1998 factory sales brochure on the '98 Dakota and I was interested to see how they introduced the R/T model in the new literature. To my surprise there is absolutely no mention of it...
Man, it looks awesome. Another one of those colors I would never have considered in the nineties but would love to have one now. Kind of like Plum Crazy on the early seventies Cuda, who knew they...
Took some balls to jump in and go that distance with an untested car. Sounds like something crazy that I would do just for the thrill of the adventure. I get jealous when I see a R/T with absolutely...
Yeah, hard to figure why they would do that but at least they pushed out a few Amber Fire R/T's like yours. Looks like Amber Fire was a 2000 color introduction and I have only seen one in the flesh...
There was something online that stated that Jade was available in '98 as well but maybe it never made it to production. Another thing I saw once was that Patriot Blue, which came out in 2000, was not...
I picked up a set of factory bed rails off a junker in the yard today and went through some of my old factory sales brochures because I remember seeing a picture of the bed rails in the back of one...
Certainly making it a race car would be cool too, to have it live a second life out on the track representing the R/T world would be a worthy purpose. That way it would be preserved for a long time...
A young guy in his twenties up in Maine bought it from me two weeks ago and is going to completely restore it. He had done quite a bit of work on a 4.7 Dak with a manual trans but when he found out...
Ha! Maybe that was the one I was looking at, is it Graphite Metallic? It must be fun to pull up in a "new" fifteen year old truck and blow minds, particularly here in the northeast where most Dodges...
Funny because about 5 years ago I was talking to a guy on craigslist about his blue R/T he had for sale and he wanted $4500 for it which was more than I had to spend and he wouldn't budge. It was a...
Bleed, are you talking about the very front lower part of the fender right under where the V-8 emblem was placed? The design was not a good one for sure with that little shelf on the inside that just...
Yes, it was and it had the stripe treatment on the rear side of the bed with the mopar logo on it.
Parked on the street in middle of downtown Providence was a nice blue R/T with a reflexions cowl hood and black R/T wheels. Wondering if it's owned by anyone from here. Don't remember looking but I'm...
Yup, twenty years in New England with liquid salt sprayed on the roads is definitely taking it's toll on any Dodge truck used as a daily driver. There are some R/T's that are stashed away in the...
I recently saved a black 2000 R/T at a local junk yard that had just about every option including power front seat. Only paid $700 for it so I figured I could use it for parts even though it has...
