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.

  • SCE to AUX Sounds like the written-off cars didn't even have enough life in them to survive the short warranties. The scheme would have lasted longer if the cars were sold as-is.Is "written off" similar to an "R" or "S" title in the US?
  • AZFelix Not enough charging stations. Long wait times. Do not recommend.
  • 2ACL I love the CV6 + stick pairing, even if it's not particularly quick (or efficient) by modern standards. It looks to have a solid foundation and would be nice to drive fully sorted, but Honda/Acuraphiles seem more interested in ressurecting second generation cars. I wanted a manual GS sedan for the longest time, though I'd have gladly taken a first generation manual coupe. Thankfully, we're spared of 'future collectable' pricing with this one.
