Used Car of the Day: 1991 Dodge Ramcharger

Today we're going back to the "doesn't run but could be restored" well with this 1991 Dodge Ramcharger.


This one has some front-end damage and doesn't run -- the seller thinks it needs a wiring harness and throttle body. The radiator, brake master cylinder, and brake actuator valve are new.

The seller doesn't know the mileage since speedometer and odometer don't work.

Since this vehicle needs restoring, the price is a low $1,000 or best offer. It's Florida-based and you can check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Lou_BC Makes sense. I've seen a few dealer inventories listing 2022 "heritage " Trucks .
  • Lou_BC I doubt many will ever get any air time or shred a dune. Probably be fun on a logging road but anywhere else, it's as wide as a one ton dually.
  • Chris "If" our performance future is electric"??? Make no mistake..it is. There are a plenty of examples of performance EV's that beat the crap out of most ICE cars. My Kia EV6 GT will beat most cars on the road in a straight line (11.3 s 1/4 mile- best pass). This is only the beginning. When a Tesla Plaid, at around $73K used can beat most dedicated races cars...the future is upon us. Why fight it.
  • Mister Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't a single-cab version in the current generation of RAM trucks. So I guess Stellantis is giving up the bottom dollar fleet market entirely.
  • Tailpipe Tommy "Easier navigation functionality." You know what's easy? iDrive 6/7. Peak functionality, actual knobs/ buttons, fast, intuitive, not buggy. Everything after 7 has been an unmitigated disaster. Can't wait for iDrive 9, when they completely switch hardware & software platforms and base it all on Android Auto OS. Also the screen will probably be so big that it will block the driver's view out of the car.
