[tryingbe]

No more McHenry?
NO!?!?

[Mario]

You told me you had it running with the T2 set-up but then pulled it to redo the engine?

[PentastarTurbo]

uh huh...

[Mario]

Why does the harness need to be done then? Where's the old one?

[2.216VTurbo]

Jeez Mario, call the guy out on the project he MEANT to get done... I have must have dozens of those

[PentastarTurbo]

I mite have referred to my GLHS if we were talkin about a running car?

Rampage never ran under its own mpfi turbo intercooled power

[Mario]

I was just asking. I'm interested in the car if the price is right.

[PentastarTurbo]

Im open to offers..

PM me..

[SwiftTech]

dang, if only I had more room. I would love to add a 'page to my lineup. I could use a truck.

[PentastarTurbo]

actually guys, I think I've got it covered..

thanks

[PentastarTurbo]

but just in case, I figured Id put a little more detail into what the truck comes with.. I was just informed that the guy that said he was truely interested said hes not continplating a divorce or in other words, mite not happen..

heres a list of what the page comes with..

Heres a listing of just some of the parts that come to mind offhand that come with the truck..

Transmission-----------------------------------------paid about $950 Cliff Ramsdell built..
this is a Getrag 555 from a Shelby Daytona, it has a 3:50fd vs the 3:85's the Shelby Daytona has, so it'll be freeway friendly at normal speeds without winding it up... It has the cromoly endplate (twice as thick as the stock steel plate) with a T-Trac posi unit with the anti pin backout ears and its been completely rebuilt..

-------------------------------------------------

Engine/head--------------------------------------------------------I'll say $800
paid $400 for doner car that had the rebuilt engine, they showed me the reciept, I called the place the next day and they confirmed the milage the car was at when they did the work..
---------
(paid 400ish for the head setup)
SS 1mm oversize valves bought at www.fwdperformance.com,
roller cam/roller rockers from a friend back east from his running wrecked car,
SRT4 lifters bought from Rob a.k.a. "The Pope" on TurboDodge.com.
All machine work and assymbly done at "Machine Service" in Lodi California
(brother's recommendation) They do a lot of dealerships machine work..

there is one questionable thing on the head, a few of the intake manifold bolt holes mite need heli coils, a few of them wouldn't quite grab tension.. So I stopped.. looks like they mite have been cross threaded at one point or another.. I asked the machine shop if they noticed that and they said no, whatever.. I do know the machine shop heli coiled one or two of the cam caps with steel inserts, no problems there.. But you'll see the non factory bolts on em.. the exhaust stud holes are just fine..

----------------------------------------------------------------

front Koni coilover adjustable struts------------------------$469 painted red/orange (I hate yellow)
Fwdperformance.com (they match the rears)

Eibach front 275pd linier rate springs------------------------$119
Fwdperformance.com

rear Koni adjust shocks, custom modd'd for page-----$40 from ebay (new old stock)

A set of Poly bushings from Polybushings.com . I bought everything available at one shot.. just before the transmission mount was released.. lots of other non suspension poly stuff too..

Polybushings.com rear Rampage anti sway bar kit----$179 look at website
http://www.polybushings.com/pages/rampage.html

Stainless steel braided brake line kit-----------------------$89 from FWDperformance.com
Awesome upgrade, I only installed the rears tho..

T2/T3 clutch kit from ---------------------------------------------$165 easy pedel feel, more grip

I also bought a lot of gaskets and misc parts here and there for the stock and turbo setup from buymopar.com, my trucks on the customers ride section..
http://www.buymopar.com/rides/index.html

Rebuilt custom T2 turbo---------------------little less than $500
Quick Spool Option (costs $40)

He gave me a hell of a deal because I called in a favor he owed me..
From TurbosUnleashed.com

Brand new Shelby Charger Turbo gas tank (with starvage baffels) a little over 150? autozone.. made by american designer.. good stuff according to people on turbododge.

High flow braided stainless turbo coolent lines-----------$110

Used Ported Turbo exhaust manafold------------------------$40 and they did one hell of a job!
From username: GLHandGTS on TurboDodge.com

Protect-o-top fiberglass bed cover, I paid 100 for it from a guy in fresno and about 30 for new hardware because he was missing it.. Can you believe its still available!

Powder coated candy blue Intake/Valve cover------------Cant remember what I paid to have it done?!?
Guy on ebay user name MadAdder5.0, cool guy too!

17" wheels, weather or not your interested in em--------paid about $850
I wont count those, I figure if your not scared off already, they go with the truck..
That's what makes the truck Notorious as "Ramlet" and really stands out from the rest..

Ive currently got them for sale on Craigslist.com.. no bites, I was askin like 600 and they only have about 40 miles in town driving and one trip to LA and back.. still have the knobbies on the rubber..

It took me forever to find a set of wheels that would look aggressive, sporty and somewhat modernize the Ramlet..
Its not a muscle car, its not a big truck, its not quite a tuner euro car...
Took almost 4 years to find ones I liked, easy to clean, ect..
Got those online at DiscountTire.com
I still have the receipt kickin around somewhere..

16" wheels with odd sized 205 45 16 tires cost the same as 17" wheels with common sized 205 40 17 tires, So sence the 17" size tires were more affordable, I said, the hell with it and went for the 17's..
I still think the 16's would have been better.. but their just as nice..

Lots of other do-dads as well.. Not to mention the worth of the Rampage itself..

I got the Rampage for free anyways.. Friend out in napa got warned about being cited for having to many vehicles.. He remembered I got into an accident with mine and I helped him out with his GLHS when he had hand surgery and I replaced and upgraded his Alternator, and did the basic tune up stuff for him just because he couldn't, he bought dinner and it was a great day just driving around in his car.. He called me up out of the blue and just gave the Rampage to me.. It needed a lot of work, , clutch, brakes, front and rear, rotors, drums, wheel bearings, axles and just about every seal needed.. about 800 bucks just to get it to drive as stock, but at the time, that's all I had and I was grateful to get it...

So far I've got about $3500... What did you get?
I honestly think that any more than that would be a bit excessive for a non drivable car..

This ones "not" a salvage title and the tags are current

[PentastarTurbo]

Parts are worth roughly about 3500, not including what the Rampage itself is worth.. So I figured 3K o.b.o.

heres a few pictures of the truck itself..
