It's a nice truck, but I can see why the reserve wasn't met. Obviously the owner thinks it's worth a lot more than the bidders did.

I guess it is just not my thing, but I can't see why an ordinary truck is worth that much money, no matter how ugly the color scheme! I would be wary of a seller who misspells "Dodge" in an ad for a Dodge truck. It does say "museum quality." The problem might be finding the right museum...
Nice find...IF it's real and not rebuilt. I'd be having a detailed inspection done.
It does appear to be in great shape. He's out of his mind on the price though. There is nothing rare or special about the make and model. If he gets anyone willing to pay more than $3-5k he better take the money and run or I suspect it will be sitting for many more years to come.
Too bad the used car stealership didn't think it was relevant to explain what life the truck has lived for 19 years. It wasn't a barn find, so what was it?
Not nearly rare or unique enough for the money they're asking. I wonder why the VIN # is not coming up on Autocheck-- I would think it should still be in the system even if it's never been registered. On all cars I've run reports on, there's always one or two entries before the ones that reference registration or sale to the original owner. Color me skeptical.
There's nothing special about it. But if someone had one back in the day, doesn't care about the cost, and wants to relive those memories, he is the buyer the seller is looking for.
I'll give him $5k tops. I could buy a used one and restore it with Hemi, 6 speed, and all custom stuff for less than he is wanting for that thing.
The eBay description makes no sense, claiming the truck was never titled. Unless it's still in a dealer's vehicle inventory from 19 years ago, anyone else buying it as a future classic would have to title the car. To insure it, I'm almost certain the owner would have to register the truck. And if it never had license tags, how was it serviced over the years? Something is fishy here. Maybe it was owned by a Nigerian prince.
The check digit in the VIN works out, still something doesn't sit right with me- specifically never having been titled.
It is nothing special other than the mileage it's not worth a premium.
Think it's still on the original transmission? That could make it rare!
