First time posting here. I've been wanting a R/T for over 20 years now but never pulled the trigger. I have had 4 Dakota's since 1995 though. All V8s. I was lucky enough to buy back my 2000 Sport that I bought when it was only 2 years old & in real nice shape. It's not an R/T but it is a R.C. 2wd 4.7 OHC V8 5-speed with a 3:55 Sure Grip 9 1/4" rear. I sold the truck to a good friend, who bought it to give to his father on his 70th birthday. 14 years later & temp controlled garage kept, I was able to get it back, in excellent shape, with under 50,000 well cared for miles on it. A few months after selling it, I regretted it & told the new owner, when your ready to get rid of it, I would like to buy it back. I got it back just over 2 months ago. I love Dakota R/T s, but I wanted a V8 manual trans. more. If you could buy an R/T with one I would have bought one long ago, but now I'm too old to be hanging pedals & all the other stuff you have to do to install a manual in one. I know what I have & it's very rare (V8 5-speed) I'm glad to have it back. MOPAR or NO CAR!DSC00809.jpg
