 Subject: Dodge Rampage.
IP: Logged
Message:
I was on my way to the junk yard and on the side of the road I saw an old rampage for 850... Motor runs and everything.. it's just BUTT ugly.. Im wanting to fix something up and I was wondering if its worth 850? I know you'd have to take a look at it yourself to get REAL value but they said the only thing wrong was an exhaust leak.. everything else is just costmetic

Also, they didn't make that many, but it shares many parts with the 024/Turismo/Charger front-wheel-drive cars of that era. They're a lot like a Pug or bulldog. They'll never be considered beautiful, but they're kinda cool in an odd way.

They can be pretty neet little car/truck things. There is a small modding community out there for them, but like he said, they didn't make that many of them.

I always thought the Rampage was kind of a cool looking rig. I was in High School when they came out. I was going to buy a same era charger when I was 17, but it had been beat hard and my dad said he wouldn't lift a finger to help me with the thing, so I bought a Datsun he agreed to help me with instead. Beat on that thing for five years!

The Rampage was Dodge's only attempt at the Ranchero/El Camino car/truck concept. A total of 45,000 were produced from 1982-1984. They have a deep-dish steering wheel to absorb energy in a crash, since the steering column won't collapse (!!!). A 175HP Turbo II 2.2 would drop right in. About the only thing lighter in weight was the Shelby Omni GLHS.

A sleeper is a vehicle that's been modified for more power while keeping stock looks - pretty much the opposite of a ricer.

I can see a big blower sticking out of a rampage. Hahaha.
Not many rampages were made, not many exist in drivable condition either I bet. If you want a unique vehicle, the rampage is for you.

a 440 will fit in anything. it just takes a big enough hammer. hehee
how do you think a dakota with a 440 would perform?
i would say 13.00s with just a 440 and a good 4b carb

it's not as easy as putting a stock 440 in a dakota to get 13 flats.. depending on the year of the 440, you will need to swap a few things out.. a must aluminum intake manifold, headers and a good holley.
the next thing to do is figure out how to get all the torque to the ground.
