Long story short, I’m thinking about taking this pickup in on a trade for my paramotor. I’m asking $6,500 and he’s asking $6,500, seems like a good trade. Especially, since selling a paramotor as the snow begins to fly is not easy.
Here’s what I know about the truck:
“I’ve got a Hemi conversion 2000 dodge Dakota R/T. The engine and transmission were out of a 2007 1500 truck. 47k total miles on engine and trans. This is pushing almost 400hp and gets about 25mpg on the freeway. It was a professional swap so it’s built right. A/c. Full power. Everything works perfectly. No issues with the truck. Stand alone computer with custom tuning. Interior is almost perfect. Body has minor dings and scratches due to a truck it’s age. Engine swap alone was over 8000 early this year.”
For you Mopar or Dakota fans, do you think I could turn around and sell this truck for close to $6,500.

I had one and miss the heck out of it. Mine had a Vortech V1 blower on the 5.9 and was a damn hoot to drive except for the frequent Trans issues.
You may get bites at $6500 because of the Hemi swap and the much improved Trans. It really comes down to the condition of the body and if it will meet emissions standards though.

I would certainly consider it at that price. Nice truck!

I was going to bring up emissions, but then I saw the Idaho plate. I think in Idaho only the Boise area has emissions inspections.

That’s good news then!

NADA value on a stock R/T with 47k miles is $5,200. One with a good Hemi swap should be worth $6,500.

She’s got cats and is passing emissions so that’s good. Do you want this one? ;)

I have nothing useful to say, but goddamn I want a paramotor.

I wish! All my money and free time is soon to go into the toilet known as a Rehab House.

Would if I could, but I’m on a different continent and have other priorities right now. And you need a license here for anything with wheels.
But don’t let that stop you sending it to me if you just feel generous all of a sudden - I’ll pay shipping :)

Do it! That is probably the best looking modern day pickup truck. with a Hemi already in there, with everything functional I’d be jumping on it if I were you.

Very cool swap. I have to agree some Dodge fan would love to have this.

If you do decide to take it and want to sell it let me know. I can write an article on it. Might help you sell it.

I will be checking it out this weekend, I’ll let you know. That would be very cool to get an article written. Supposedly the swap is very well done.
