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.

  • Calrson Fan I'm sure it's great vehicle if you never leave town. Trying to tow anything substantial like a small camper into a rural area with it would be a complete disaster, even worse in cold weather. But hey it's so affordable.........wait a minute
  • TheEndlessEnigma You charged for 3 hours and got only 43 miles out of it? That's underwhelming.
  • MaintenanceCosts I'm sure this could be a good buy for someone else, at least with a discount. I've never liked the way these cars look. To me they have everything ugly about their '70s ancestors but none of the grace, just looking heavy, roided out, and like a cartoon version of menacing.
  • EBFlex Needs more ICE. Imagine how much better it would be with a proper powertrain.
  • Jalop1991 In the same time period in WWII, we engineered, designed, and executed on the atomic bomb.But now we can't make electric outlets happen.
