Nice Price or No Dice 2003 Dodge Durango R/T

The ad for today’s Durango boasts that it is a 3X undefeated MoparMania Champ and identifies the truck as the “Silverback.” Let’s see if this custom, lifted 4X4 can chalk up another win in our voting.

There was a lot of interest in the archeological expedition offered by last Friday’s . And, while Indiana Jones is not above stealing antiquities “for the museum,” most of you were fine with paying the $4,000 asking price asked to disinter the Datsun. That resulted in a barn-blasting 60 percent Nice Price win.

Should you need to pull the Datsun from its resting place or perhaps tow it home for a well-deserved deep cleaning, then something like this might just fit the bill. After all, check out those crazy Dumbo-ear towing mirrors!

According to the ad, this custom Durango was transformed by its present owner “from bone stock” into the beast you now see. It rides on a raised suspension and wears a custom grille, headlamps, and hood, along with a roof rack, light bar, and “Silverback” sun visor on the windscreen. There are plenty of other mods as well, so many so that the seller claims they can’t even list them all.

Pulling around all that custom work is a 5.9-liter Magnum V8 and on-demand 4WD. An automatic transmission runs interference between the two, and the seller claims that the gearbox has less than 10K under its belt. Everything on the truck is said to work, right down to the heated seats and the 4x4. As an added incentive, the seller says it fires right up with just a twist of the key.

It’s not all monkeyshines here, though. The seller says that the truck has been parked for some time as it’s overly thirsty, and as a result, it apparently needs new ball joints and a battery to be safe. It’s also only painted in primer, so if that’s not your jam, you might want to consider some sort of re-shoot.

There are 190,000 miles on the truck, and aside from a nighttime shot of a stuffed gorilla in the passenger seat, we don’t get enough of a peek at the interior to see how it has faired over that distance. There’s also no word on whether or not the gorilla comes with the truck. The truck does come with a clean title and perhaps all those trophies. The seller says that a family emergency is what is driving the sale.

That sale demands $5,000, and the seller asks prospective buyers to “not waste their time” with annoying lowball bids. What do you think about this award-winning Durango and that $5,000 asking price? Does that feel like a solid deal, considering all the work that has gone into it? Or does that price have you thinking this is a gorilla that should be missed?

You decide!

out of Benton, Arkansas, or go if the ad disappears.

H/T to RevUnlimiter for the hookup!

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
