A few of you may remember my $500 R/T from a couple of years ago: http://www.dakotart.com/forum/showth...T-I-ll-take-it! Well, now I found another, just not as cheap.
Found this Deep Amethyst one on Denver Craigslist a couple weeks ago. As usual, it had trans issues. He told me it didn't have reverse and that it would randomly die. Needless to say, he was a little surprised when I didn't show up with a truck and trailer, being that I was 450 miles away from home! I negotiated the price down to $1,300 and took off back home. The 7hr trip took 9hrs mainly because it wouldn't stay in overdrive, but it did make it back
I threw a 5 2/auto computer in it and that solved the dying problem. Replaced all the electronics in the trans and maxed out the adjustment on the reverse band and now have a truck that goes into reverse and doesn't come out of overdrive.
Got a guy in Roswell that's gonna paint it for me, so I got it stripped down. Got a roll pan to put on it also. Once I get it back, I'll get some 255/55s for it, these 245/45s look dumb on it.
