6.24.13 1984 Dodge Rampage Restomod $7500 NOW $4500

There is WAY too much to list here, but this was an in depth project that I had a blast building, but time for someone else to enjoy driving it.

Here is a quick and dirty:

I have about 1000 pictures of the restore on facebook; not sure if you use it, but it is the best way to view all of the pictures.

I have every receipt in a binder with an excel spreadsheet of everything that was done.

I am in the middle of installing a new alternator.

It has a new WP, front brake lines all new brakes(88 Daytona Z), plugs, wires, cap, rotor, rebuilt carb, exhaust and new battery.

I Herculined the bed after stripping the whole car, priming the bed and I rolled it on.

New windshield and custom cut rear glass. I am not happy with the rear glass, but oh well.

It needs tires, the emergency brake does not work, the doors do not lock and the passenger's will not open from the outside. I have tried to fix all of this, but have really lost interest in the vehicle.

The wheels are SRT4s that I media blasted and shot with single stage GM Artic White to match the car.

It has an electric fuel pump from an early 80s escort.

Ebay coilovers and new struts up front; actually rides really well.

The rear has an axle flip, with a zero rate 1" lowering block. I am going to probably take the lowering block off OR I can leave it and you can get matching 205.40.17s all the way around the The rears are 215.40.17s and rub the inside of the fenderwells.

All of the lights have been lightly tinted and cleared.

The headliners did come out of a Rampage, but I covered it in additional webbing so it would last another 20 years and then covered it in the skull and cross bones fabric.

I traded out the rearview mirror with one out of an S10 that was auto dimming and had two map lights. Works GREAT!

There is NO AC/HEAT in the car at all.

I removed the unit, but I still have it along with a few boxes of parts that will go with the Rampage.

I have the bed rails as well as another set of spare wheels.(donuts)

The floorboards and the roof areas have been replaced with good sheet-metal from donor cars, primed, welded, reprimed and covered in quality fiberglass based body filler. It was smoothed with a non-porous body filler.

New carpet, 2001 power-reclining VW seats, on Rampage manual rails.

1984 Dodge charge full console. I don't like it and would go back with something else as it does not fit well.

All interior plastics were cleaned, degreased and reconditioned in either black or white plastic dye.

White face gauges from the guy on here. New speedometer cable. New air cleaner and underhood hoses.

I think that about covers it.

I do need to get the title put in my name and get it inspected, but that is about it.

After:




Make me an offer.
