I BOUGHT The FORGOTTEN Sport Truck The SHELBY DODGE RAMPAGE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ธ.ค. 2018
- I bought the forgotten sport truck, the Dodge Rampage. Better yet, a Shelby conversion Dodge Rampage with fuel injection and a turbo (Turbo I). Half car, half truck, full excitement... this little truck is efficient, fun, and a capable little hauler. This example of the Rampage was merged with another Chrysler L-body car, a Shelby Dodge Charger donor car to restyle it and step up the performance. As always this was a last minute deal so I called Ethan, asked if we could fly to Danville, Iowa in the morning, he said sure let's take the Cessna 182 RG. Thomas and I flew out and drove the Dodge Rampage 500 miles back to Wichita, KS.

Thank you for taking care of my fathers truck. It has meant a lot to him over the years. The conversion was "kickstarted" when he got rear ended(very minor rear end) one day while driving into work when he lived in St. Louis. He had already purchased the 85 Charger that he was going to pull parts from, and had begun laying out when he would start swapping parts here and there. The accident killed that as the old Rampage rear bumper would no longer pass safety standards, making the car non street-legal if I recall correctly. That began the multi year conversion which lasted the rest of my high school years and throughout the mid 90's. I look forward to seeing what you do with the truck I learned to drive in, pre-conversion ^_^
I'm thrilled to have it! There will be plenty of updates in the near future 😎
cool
@Yard Sale Dale because he wanted to convert the truck into what you see above.
Love this truck. Had one new in 85, base model. There is a fiberglass cap that came from the factory ,that looks awesome. Had it on mine, made it looked like a little spaceship.
It even has the Goodyear Eagle ST tires. Had a set on my S-10 back in 85' . I always wanted a Rampage back then. Good for you.
This made me tear up! My stepdad really loved this car! Im so happy that you bought it. It's very clear you'll take great care of it! Many grandchildren have had the honor to ride with Grandpa Daryl in this car. It will be missed, but we can't wait to see what you do with it :)
Chelsea
Maaaaan you’re killin’ me with all these awesome forgotten 80s rides!! Keep it up!!
These cars had a ton of soul 😎
WatchJRGo This thing rocks!! Steering wheel takes me back to my uncle’s Dodge Omni which rusted away around 1994 or so.
Next you should go even more forgotten like buick skyhawk t-type or sport hatch.
Fiero needs some attention .
Ive only seen one vid of yours with a fiero and its not clear who owned it
I feel the love I went 6hours for a 84 Subaru Brat, super clean still has the seats in the back and yes I drove it home!
You are finding some real oddball cool 80's rides, I love it. Next you should try to track down a Merkur.
Steve then a turbo fuego
How about a Chevy Citation X-11?
Gemini 64 those things were hideously slow and poor-handling.
xR4ti
my buddy was rocking a merkur xr4ti in 97 that was a low mileage survivor. he didn't have it long as once it needed work, which was shortly after he started using it daily, he got rid of it. those were cool but broke down a lot
Anyone who says the el Camino is the mullet of cars has obviously never seen a rampage.
And here I thought it was the 3rd Gen IROC-Z Camaro... but I love all 3! 😂
Jack Watters what about the VW rabbit pickup
Subaru Brat
The Ford Courier and Chevy Pu'p we're both compact unibody trucks.
Mullet was business up front and party in the back. These cars are party up front and business in the back. More like the current fade haircuts.
love this and the exp ! keep the 80s stuff coming!
Right on, I'll keep em coming! 🍻
He needs an 80s Monte Carlo is it's slow but looks so awesome and when I had one I loved it!
junior777 this is 100 times better than a shitbox exp
This car good, but the exp was a child killer. Kids stuck riding in back! So you know.
The dealerships ommited the fact that there was no back seat to unsuspecting women! Ford sucks! Child killers. And wouldn't take them back! Shame on them!
Wow, this channel is getting even better. You have 3 of my all time favorite cars in your Lineup.
The EXP is one of your all time favorites?
There is some fun stuff going on. I like the story about this car.
Your a man after my own heart, first the exp and now a rampage shelbyized awesome
I'm having a blast back in the 80s! 🤙
I had the Plymouth "Scamp".
I put too much stone in the back, and I lost steering from the front wheels popping off the road.
Haha, can confirm I've done this in other light duty trucks! I'll try to keep this one on the ground, you must have had it loaded down 😮
Thank you for doing this, I'm 50yrs old, so any 80s car just gives me a good feeling of my teen yrs....I never even knew this car/truck existed, and I've always loved cars, BIG hot wheels/matchbox kid, lol....the excitment of the older gentleman was great, knowing his "baby" is going to be well taken care of is a relief I'm sure, his wife was so down to earth and funny....this is the first vlog of yours I've watched and it def "pulled me in" to keep watching, your very personable, and love your passion for cars....def subscribing....one of my favorite cars of the early/mid 80s was the cavalier and sunbird convertibles, they were such a great size, good square 80s lines, and just fun to drive.... can't wait to watch you transform this rampage to its nostalgic beauty
Soon as the guy said he made templates to do factory-style holes for the ECU wiring I knew you were buying a really well sorted Rampage. SO excited for this project! Had a turbo 5 speed Voyager back in the day. Fun little motors :)
So.... MORE PLANES?!? Tell me below ✈️
Yes!!
Heck yeah brother.
*WatchJRGo* A dream of mine was almost had, and will be again hopefully: An old Paraplane (the actual Paraplane brand) I have flown them as well as Paramotors which are essentially the most extreme, fun, and amazing thing I have done. They're between $3000-$10,000. Like all your videos, great channel.
More aircraft for sure. 182 RGs are sweethearts. My friends burned up a few of the turbo Daytonas when they were new though. The Shelby twist is cool. Front wheel drive truck? I think only VW did that except Chrysler.
Heck yeah. I would like to hear air traffic control
I was real nervous for you when I heard your pilot was a Mustang owner...😂 LOVE the Rampage!!! I’ve actually owned one... I bought it for $50, it was beyond resurrection so I cut it in half with an air chisel & welded up a hitch on it, made a decent little utility trailer. My neighbours weren’t at all impressed (trailer park)... Looking back that air chisel & grinder was probably rather annoying for them!🤣
Haha, $50 is one heck of a deal. Gotta love the metal shop sounds in the neighborhood all day and night! 💯
Matt's Garage It should be fine, you don't get many road signs/high kerbs/pedestrians at 8000 feet. But, there was a guy who managed to crash his plane into a tree and then a pickup and walked away so...
Fun Collector Actually I saved half of a very rusty heap of parts that once was a rare car.(-;
I'm always using my power tool grinders etc and I just know my neighbors probably hate me.
@@joedatsun1894 There is always that one noisy neighbor
Omg, that headlight buzz took me back to being a kid again..instant flashback it gave me...I have not heard that distinct noise in ages
Awesome choice bro! I have a 91 Dodge Spirit RT sitting in the garage waiting for warmer weather. Love the FWD Mopars!
I was 16 n 1984. I remember these Rampages as well as those front Drive Chargers. Goes Like Hell Some-more (GLHS)!!!
I always loved these and also love how the front end looks like an old snowmobile.
It's like a baby El Camino! Does kinda look like the old angular snowmobiles 😂
@@WatchJRGo i thought it was a golf cart
@patti veidt Lol, that EZ-GO front end 😛
Your passion for odd 80s automotive ephemera is extremely entertaining. Much like your EXP, this is a car/truck/tarc that I never thought I'd desire having lived through that era... but damn it is cool. Keep it up!
seeing this brought back so many memories of my late teens... I don't know how I forgotten about this.. my dad had one,now that I'm financially capable I think it's time to go on the hunt.. thank you so much for sharing this.
hey I love ur videos man keep up the good work
Thank you, I'll keep cranking them out! Happy you're here 🍻
OMG--this reminds me of my friend's 1983 Shelby Charger--fun car, nice seats, handled well...close ratio steering and we would take hair pin turns at 60mph with those low profile performance tires--cars didn't need a whole lot of HP to be fun...Metallic Blue and Silver...ahhhh---the 1980's was a great era for sure--there was so much fun and style in the 80s.
the 80's were the worst decade for cars ever!
@@13christbane Ha ha....yes, they were terrible for most domestic cars...but there are exceptions!
@@13christbane But these were fun. Even the NA 2.2 sport package was a light car that could turn, and if you had the stick, scoot pretty nicely. A lot of us in the US were used to much heavier and boatier things, or Corollas with a bit less grunt. :) And, actually, they were just great practical hatchbacks like you never see anymore. You could fit more in those than you can in cars that weigh almost twice as much, nowadays, I'd say. If they were rear-drive, there'd be a cult for them. :)
@@13christbane No--that prize belongs to the decade of the 1970s...!
I LOVE how you're giving attention to the weird, quirky, but totally cool cars from the 80's!
This video brings back memories, I had a 83 Shelby Charger and my wife had a 82 Rampage. Both were very cool, but under appreciated cars in the day. The Shelby was the first of the "Pocket Rocket" cars that are now know as hot hatch cars. Can wait to see what you do this this.
Success comes to those who make TH-cam videos about the dodge Shelby rampage. Love ur content.
Thank you! Glad you're here 🍻
Now go get a 2.4 turbo out of a PT cruiser, and install it in the rampage
Apparently the head from the SRT4 will go on these old engines.
I’m a rampage owner and Shelby dodge enthusiast. I have many parts for you... I’m excited to see this!!
Recent fan/subscriber to your channel and have watched almost all of the videos. I'm enjoying watching the progress you make on these weird cars. Can't wait to see what else you do.
Yes. Haha I’m excited for this!!
Yeah buddy, quick little workhorse. 🏎💨
I saw this for sale on craigslist! nice that you snagged it!
We were at lunch and my buddy Rob pulled this listing up... I couldn't say no! 💯 Are you in Iowa?
@@WatchJRGo Nice it was a good deal and the owner seemed genuine! And yes north Iowa at the moment. Near Mason city. Will be moving to the Dsm area at some point soon. I am excited to see the upcoming content on the rampage!
Matt Mills i live over in Perry iowa. 30 min outside of DSM
Awesome find, I totally forgot about this thing.. I love seein these videos.
Had a sweet little PLYMOUTH Scamp (DODGE Rampage) with a 340 swap...Sassy Grass green and that cool 340 Wedge diagonal graphic on the corner of the satin black hood. Ran A body latter 5 lug wheels and brakes. Suspension in back holds up to 800 pounds of cargo.
This is excellent. A real credit to Daryl :)
Absolutely, you can tell he put his heart into this build! 😎
@@WatchJRGo I've never seen a roller paint job so good. He must have put a lot of time into it.
Awesome buy!
Thanks! I’ve been driving it a bit lately, love the thing 🤙
Too funny. I just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago with the EXP vids. Tonight I open youtube and the 1st thing I see is this. It just so happens my 1st car (in 1994) was an 84 Rampage. It had 24k on it at that time. These cars are almost completely forgotten. I can't even remember the last time I saw one! Very cool man. Subscribing now!
I love your channel , I'm learning alot . And gives me things to look for when Im buying a used car
Nothing better than a quick vfr flight 😎
Getting those hours in! I want to get my license at some point 🛩
@@WatchJRGo It's definitely epic once you get your certification and rent a plane for the first time!
Oh, you're in for it now. Keep the tin worm off and this thing will be around forever. Noninterference 2.2 SOHC with aluminum bearings and a high nickel block, heavy duty parts with a non-heavy duty turbocharging setup, you'll have a heavier transmission (diff spider gear pins will be the only thing to watch for but only on some manual transmissions), anything that breaks is a cheap and easy fix.
Well, except the exhaust manifold and starter, that's a lot of arms-extended creeper work. I've had a few 2.2 shadows, one got rallycrossed and abused rather energetically. It actually got driven ~100 miles over mountains, with 1/4" of the #1 cylinder's head gasket missing between the cylinder and water jacket. I just stopped every 10 miles and "burped" the gasses out of the radiator so there was actually coolant in the head.
Some great time earlier the same engine had made a terrible rattling noise once that went away after a second; this was probably a year or two before the head gasket incident, right after I'd gotten the car. When I was changing the gasket I saw there were a few dozen little crescent shaped dents in #3 piston's crown. So apparently the engine had "eaten" and passed a screw or bolt without damaging anything but my blood pressure when I heard it happen.
Also had an '85 Omni GLH which shared a lot of the interior with this... was pretty cool.
To watch for? That diff pin, if the transmission has been abused or is making any noises (this is an abuse or extreme mile issue, not actually common, but catastrophic if it does). Keep the clutch cable nicely lubed or it'll break, change it if you ever see a loose strand. Nylon vacuum hoses and such, of course. Uh.... that's it. I can't think of anything else, these vehicles were really, really solid.
EDIT: AH! Watch the engine mounts, if they ever get loose they aren't a big deal to change but get on allpar.com and look up how to center the engine. Nobody ever thinks of it, I didn't think of it, but on these when the engine isn't centered you could be fine for a decade or you could randomly break a CV joint the next day. If the mounts are good now, don't worry about it, worry about it if you change them. Even if you do break an axle I don't think they're $100....
Very simple to work on. I changed my head gasket in my old horizon at a McDonald's parking lot in an hour. Love these older vehicles
@@williamsinger4124 These are easy to work on, its a little difficult to access the starter.
Love the rampage! I have an 86 SVO mustang and even if it's a dodge it reminds me of it, can't wait for the series to continue! Keep up the awesome work!!
Nice find. I recently bought a 79 VW Scirocco from what basically was the original owner (he was the 2nd owner, but owned it for the majority of it's life and of 300k miles). It's still mostly original. Tons of history, pictures, paperwork including an original picture of when the first owner took delivery. Been painted once, seats recovered and original engine just rebuilt and punched out to 1.8 (from 1.6). My High School dream car. Totally rust free and a FUN car... even though at 6'3" it's a tight fit. Love these older 70-80s cars!
he will love watching his car on the channel
Easiest way to follow the progress! 🎥

Especially when using lense distortion.
That man did such an Amazing job!I thought it was stock,from the thumbnail.Well done,Sir.I hope you keep this.
Yes he did! It's very well done, you can tell a lot of hours went into the build 🍻
I can't wait to see this build. I had the charger 2.2 and loved it. One of the best - Well funnest cars I ever owned. I used to say you don't ask how fast this care goes - it's how fast do you want to go.
Awesome dude
Thank you! 🤙
What about the dodge dakota Shelby pickup or the dakota convertible?
Both of those are amazing... That Dakota Shelby is pricey right? I don't think there are many and the ones I've seen are typically clean. 🍻
@@WatchJRGo buy a standard dakota convertible
Take a later version Dak RT with the 5.7 and cram it into the convertible with the Shelby interior
Both of those are nearly impossible to find anymore. The Shelby squarebody Dakota was really out there for its time though - no one thought a smaller pickup needed a V8 except Carroll. And boy oh boy was he right.
Awesome find bro! I’m pumped to see the final product. So sick!
That thing is pretty dope! Subscribed! Cool videos man, merry Christmas
Tractors, planes, cars, and motorcycles. Man I love your channel. 👌
If it can move you around I'm into it! Or really anything with an engine 🏎🚜🏍✈️
*A wild Ford Ranchero Camaro Mopar Iroc montecarlo* 😁
My father had 6 or 7 of these through the years. He loved them because "sporty" but still a pickup. Thank you for the great reminder of my father.
I am amazed at all this 80's junk you keep finding and making look cool. I have a friend that had an 82 Rampage. Easiest vehicle to break into. Grab the frame less window by the top edge and pull. Then reach in and turn the knob to unlock. LOL
Is it a Turbo 1 or Turbo 2 motor ?? The Turbo Chrysler’s of the 80’s are highly underrated little pocket rockets. I’m always on the look out for a clean Ttop 88-89 Shelby Daytona Turbo Z. Had one when I was a kid and it was a blast !!
This is a Turbo1 swap, no intercooler. Shelby Daytona Turbo would be an amazing find, good luck! 🍻
I had a white Shelby Z loved that car!
Didnt take that much for them to run in the 12's ! The road tests with the Turbo cars were off because of turbo lag,basically 0-20 you had no turbo lol then it kicked in and went..Hold the brake get ht eboost up on stock turbo cars..
Thing is,the Turbo's were the 1st thing to fail and lose boost,this is why soem people didnt think theyw ere quick..
These would beat 5.0 Mustangs and 5.0 and 5.7 Camaro,Trans Ams back in the 1980's early 1990's !
The 2.5 Turbo had less turbo lag !
@@WatchJRGo the Turbo 1 rating for 1985 was 146 hp and some 160ft ft lbs torque. If this one is enhenced somewhat, its probably closer to the 174hp modded T1.
I believe he said the donor car was a 1985 Shelby Charger. I owned one for about 10 years back in the day. They were a mix of Turbo 1 and Turbo 2 parts picked by Shelby company and were rated at the time at 180 HP stock. The '83 to '85 Shelby Chargers were actually assembled by Shelby from a shell shipped from Chrysler with no power train or suspension. The 83 and 84 was NA and for the 85 the Shelby guys picked a mix of T1 and T2 parts (Not the cooler from the T2 sadly) to achieve maximum power and durability, so the story went. I know from working on it over the years it was a mongrel. The 86 and 87 Shelby Chargers were mass produced by Chrysler although they looked the same they were just glorified Lazer/Daytona's and were Shelby's in name only. They used a larger Turbo in the 85 Charger than was standard on the other 2.2 turbos of the day and as long as you kept the oil changed every 2000 miles or so and were careful to not shut down the engine right after ragging on it, they were durable. It was the same model turbo as found in the old 301 Turbo Trans Am's only with less than half the engine displacement in the Charger they weren't hand grenades like they were in the TA. Mine had around a 100,000 miles on it when I sold it and still worked like a new one but was cared for extremely well. I still miss that car ...
Very cool man.
Thank you! Glad you're here as always 🤙
@@WatchJRGo always like your content
Hell yeah! love the 80's stuff. keep us posted with updates.
OMG! I'm having flashbacks of my Dad's 84 K wagon after seeing that interior. Looks like a fun ride. Look forward to seeing the finished product.
By the way, my vote... KEEP THE DICE!!!
Dice game is strong around these parts 🎲
@@WatchJRGo I used to always have them in my cars, too. I should really start doing that again. My first car was a 1965 Mustang coupe so they really made since there, then I replaced it with a 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 SSP (X-Florida Highway Patrol car) where I kept them but actually had them hanging off of my windshield-mounted radar detector (it was the 90's LOL)- they actually did a great job of hiding the computer holes in the dash. I think I even used them in my 1995 S-10 for awhile but then just stopped for some reason but dice do always give off great vibes and are always fun. They remind me of better times when life was just a little simpler and less stressful than today.
Hmmm... I should put some fuzzy dice in my Cadillac Cimarron...

I had a 1984 Rampage for years and had it converted to a turbo. Had it for years and loved it. I then found a nice 81 and had the Chrysler TC Maserati head 2.2 put in it. Thanks to Rick Diogo for that part! Hard to sort out, but it was one unique vehicle. I sold it after a few years to a fellow in California. We named it the Ramerati - it is still out there and looks beautiful. The late Dave Grove in Louisville built it. One of the best guys ever.

@@markwilliams2620 and you can thank Ford for changing that. They got it approved just in time for the 84 Continental MkVII.
I been wanting one of those trucks for years. I can’t wait to get back state side to find one. Coming to an end of my army career soon. The wife can’t wait for me to be home more. Any how good job getting one. Wish it was mine. Take care
I was 18 in 1987 and working at a lumber yard in New England. The yard foreman drove a 1983 Rampage, black with the ground effects. Those were still the bigger is better days (although sadly at an end) so we laughed at it. Plastic bumpers, plastic seats, plastic coffin on wheels, etc... I love how I can look at it now and see it as cool through your generation's eyes. It was a unique time for vehicles as technology was changing. I saw it first hand working at my father's gas stations, fixing cars, pumping gas and changing tires during most of the '80s. I got to work on some awesome old cars. Appreciate you guys finding these babies and keeping them going.
EXP, Fiero, Rampage, what’s next. Can’t wait. Maybe a GLH or a Rabbit Pickup. Cool.
I had an 86 Daytona CS. It was my first turbo, so I’d run it hard and shut it right off. After blowing the head gasket, I went crazy with the Direct Connection catalog and built it up to about 200-215 hp. My friend who helped me rebuild it then went out and bought an Omni GHL-S. What a little beast! It would smoke Mustangs, Camaro’s and even Vette’s of the time. I’d love to find GLH-S now. Thanks JRGo for keeping the 80s classics alive.
"Rabbit Pickup" is a VW Caddy. The Rampage is basically a Caddy and they are Coupe Utility Vehicles, not trucks.
@@JaxRhapsody The first Omnis actually used a VW 1.6L (?) motor. They may have even briefly gotten the VW diesel of that era, my memory is fuzzy. The Mitsubishi engines came later.
I "think" the early Omni was basically a VW Rabbit. Again, fuzzy memory.
@@tomadkins2866 It was. Same platform as the Rampage and Charger/Daytona. The K cars came to replace them.
I dont think shelby ever made a rampage....and the turbo1 motor had to be a swap. They came with the low end 2.2litre motor
Both are swapped over from a Shelby Charger. There was one Turbo 1 Rampage but no “true” Shelby Rampages 🤙
Cool truck! Look forward to more videos on it.

@@WatchJRGo 😂😂. Its the race TH-cam never knew it needed.
EXP runs 19 -24 second 1/4 mile when new...Stock 2.2 Turbo cars ran mid 14 second 1/4 mile times if you hold the brake to get boost up...They ran low 15's if just floor it off idle..
Great truck! This video was a little long (a few too many shots of you talking at the camera) but this IS a super-rare 80's find! I'm glad someone else appreciates these fun cars! I'd love to see more close-up and detail shots. The Ford EXP video is what brought me to your channel. Good job!
I have 3 of them including one with a GLHS drivetrain. If you can find a rear swaybar set up it really helps with the handling. Only was available in the aftermarket. Also, the skirt pieces that go behind the rear wheels on the "Shelby" Rampages are really hard to find. The only Rampages that came with the Shelby style were California Specials. It's a Shame that Shelby never got to make these as they are super fun with the turbo. Even a carbureted 5 speed one is more fun than most people think and they are actually a decent little truck for hauling.
188, that's pretty good for a ground speed. Did you have a little wind behind you?
Yup, just a little tailwind! Bit of crosswind during the landing as well ✈️
Where did the heads up display come from?
It's just the iPhone laying on the dash with HUD open 😉

Love that front end.... So 80's... That front end reminds me of my first car. A '79 Plymouth TC3 Horizon that my parents bought new and put it up on blocks in the back yard when my dad leased a '85 Toyota MR2. That TC3 sat from '85 to about 90-91 before my friends and I started messing around with it. We got it running with very little effort surprisingly.... It had some issues, but hey....whaddya want for a free car?!?! LOL... Nice vid btw... However, as an aviation enthusiast, aircraft mechanic , and a love for flying...I have to say the aircraft and flying part was the best part...LOL

It's unbelievable! If that we me I'd had been stopped 5 times!
@@WatchJRGo When your white u can get away with that sort of stuff. Me they'd be asking is it stolen.
ace frehley thats how we do it
I've been buying cars for years and I do it all the time..never been stoped.
Was driving my 84 Rampage (really my Dad's) in my senior year of high school. Loved that truck! What a find, especially modded nicely like that one!
I owned an 84 Shelby Charger when I was in my late teens. Blue and silver and a lot of fun to drive. I'll be following this series for sure.
I had a Dodge Rampage. That is the reason I will not buy another Dodge again.
Only an idiot want buy a brand because of one vehicle, if that was the case I'd be riding a bicycle
shit was literally 35+ YEARS AGO what do you mean
Lol! Fucking wow!!!! My dad had rampages like 5 of them and you got it in iowa?!?!! I’m in central Iowa! I never knew they did shelby rampage.... i remember the charger tho.
Might have to put me first on the list when it comes to selling this one!!!
Okay, so it didn’t exist..... its a one off custom using a charger.... makes sense..... i was gonna say... I’m pretty damn versed on all 80’s and 90’s cars
My dad put over a million miles on his rampages.... i know the one made it to 300k and was still looking good and running strong when sold back in mid 90’s
From what I've read a Shelby Rampage was a pet project for the team at Shelby but was never "officially" produced. If you Google the Shelby Rampage there appears to be a few perfect clones out there. 🍻
That's super impressive! Those little 4 cylinders just keep on ticking 💪
WatchJRGo yeah.... he always had toppers on them too! I remember riding in the back of the truck on family vacations!!! It got hot back there sometimes!
I want your rampage so bad its freaking AWESOME! You got seriously lucky grabbing that one. I'm such a jealous guy right now!
keep these early 80s wheels coming, JR! especially Mopar FWD stuff and '82 Pontiac T/A with the smooth black moon disc wheels :) You just got new subscriber!
I got one for sale 1000 its a charger tho
Shelby Charger? Sounds like a solid price! 💸
Its a 87 i kneed it gone
I own to many cars
Got any shelby omnis
@@nathanroberts7542 location
That guy took care of his car. Damn. I feel really bad for the guy who had to sell it, cause you know he was still attached to it
Absolutely! He's retiring right now, bought a brand new RAM, they're going to pull that camper all over the country 🌎
@@WatchJRGo I hope you keep it for awhile. I want another TC3 horizon to swap. But I don't have the heart to bring one to NY.
@@williamsinger4124 I was looking for one in NY and I couldn't find one. But if I got one I would never take it out in the winter or anything like that.
Everytime I fly in those little single prop planes, I watch the pilot like my life depends on it. I watch what it takes to speed up, slow down, turn left and right and stop. You never know when you could be called on to land the damn thing. Always be prepared !!
Oh wow my Dad had one of these, I completely forgot til I seen you upload this video, very much liked video btw!!!
Find a 91-95 AWD Dodge Caravan donor vehicle and turn this thing into a turbo AWD rampage. They were derived from the K platform, which the rampage is based on.
That would be amazing... 😮
These are not K-Car based. They are based on the Simca-derived Omni platform. Rampage/Omni/O24 Charger/Shelby Charger are all related.
@@stevevarholy2011 you're right, L platform, I forgot about that. Im sure the conversion is still possible with some modification.
That would be a very cool ride.
@@elcaminosunlimited but there is alot of interchange between the L and K-derived platforms. If i recall, the K itself is loosely a enlarged L platform anyways.
Oh no thats a bad egg my friend those are the bastard child shelby never wanted..😂😂
😂 definitely one of strangest performance cars in history!
Uh Shelby’s favorite car of all time was his GLHS Omni. Clearly you truly don’t know the history of these cars or Carrol Shelby.
@@SillyDillysTunes ,favorite or not, those cars were steaming piles of s#*t.The Omni GLHS was the best of a mediocre at best bunch of cars,and a moderately quick POS.There's a reason Shelby kept an early Cobra big block(converted to an automatic) for decades as an occasional driver,not an Omni or Daytona.
David Humphrey it had to do with money. Carroll Shelby had a 550hp GLHS he stripped all the badges off, and would drive it at night looking for a race. He loved the car more than any other because he grew up a poor farm boy. Back when racing was for the rich ONLY. He wanted to one day produce a race car that was affordable for those with less money. Ford never allowed him to make anything like that. Dodge however did. The reason he didn’t stay with Dodge was because of the politics with Ford. The GLHS was and is over engineered. Forged pistons, rods and crank good to 450hp. Cast iron block with Nickel in it. It had multi port fuel injection, and disc brakes on all four corners. A thick sway bar, front and back. All of this in the early 80’s. The transmission was a getrag, corse cut gear transmission that has seen up to 800hp without breaking. The drive axles were much thicker than they needed to be and were equal length. The computer system was advanced by using a closed loop MAP layout that was WAY ahead of its time. They were cheap cars with cheap interior. But engineering and mechanically they were GREAT. NOTHING COULD TOUCH IT ON A TRACK OTHER THAN A 911 PORCHE TURBO. You clearly have a bias hatred for the car because you’re a Ford lover. What about the time the Mustang owners were in an uproar about him working for Dodge after the production of the GLHS? He called every one of them out to try and beat him on a road course in those heavy slow piles of shit. Not a single person showed ALL DAY.
Love your little truck. Great find. I had a 85 Laser same motor and stereo. Great performance for front wheel car.
I'm a fan of the rare and forgotten. Well done!
Super cool 😎
When I was a Chrysler tech always loved these. You got a sweet deal
I always loved the Dodge Rampage, and I still want one. They just don't exist anymore. You're lucky to find one, and with a Shelby conversion too.
Rampages are so rare. Really cool. So glad you don't tear these 1980's oddities apart, unlike other channels....
Can't figure out why someone your age would be interested in this kind of ancient history, but admire you for it! I'll never forget going to a Dodge dealer in 1984 (I was 27) just to drive an Omni GLH, salesman just gave me the keys and sent me on my way, what a blast. Torque steer all day long but it got up and went. I wanted it but it was out of reach for me then. Surprise! A year later my next car was a 1985 SAAB 900 Turbo.
