    Sweet!
    Front springs are shot, but it's only a couple hundred for a complete set (both sides) and an extra $50 or so for fresh hardware, and you can change them out completely in an afternoon.

    I wonder why no price...he must be getting a lot of calls just saying "How much?"

    Edit- Oh wow, it's even got a Minute Mount plow. No F'ing around with pins tucked way back under the truck.

    Well it’s friday. Which means only one work shift left between me and vacation. Sunday morning can’t come soon enough!

    Shrug. Opens up the market a bit, really. I may call him, even. Not for me; I've got a buddy that collects, restores/repairs and resells the '72-'93 Dodges, so if the price is decent he might be interested. Travels all over New England getting them, and occasionally further for a mint example.

    What town did you say this was in?

    My brother had an 84 v6 in decent shape. Maybe your buddy would have given him more than the dealer did on trade.

    If it was an '84 it was a Slant. But maybe; he's a bargain hunter since he resales them, but he might have done a 'whatever they offered you plus $250' type of deal.

    The Slant and the 318 both, yes. Mine has the Slant in it (also an '84) and it doesn't make much for HP but it's a torque monster so it's great for plowing. 0-60 takes all afternoon, though, haha!

    Unfortunately, all of the engineers at Dodge are short, and don't design vehicles for tall people. I didn't drive it much because I barely fit. I just remember the brakes being a little to easy to lock up.

    From what I've read the waivian are just as good if not better .going to get a super siphon so I don't have to worry about the stupid epa spout. Nice thing about the waivian is you can put it inside your vehicle since it seals completely so there's no fumes

    Why not just get the wavian? Seems like the effort involved in getting the Sceptre isn't worth it
