I'm sure that dealers have plenty of leftover stock trucks.....

I'd still prefer bikertat's......:dontknow: :argh:... by a long shot....

Yeah, I PM'd VAViperPower but never heard anything back.

Cudajon, what year is it and how much are you asking? I see from the pics it seems to have a bed liner as well but I don't really consider that a mod. Tonneau is handy. Tell me more about the intake and programmer....

SRTBrad, if you are in contact with Whitesnake get him to drop me a PM as his truck sounds like what I want.

I probably didn't explain my self well enough , but I want a truck to keep. (I'm not a collector unless having two pickups makes me one). Most performance cars get modded (or wrecked) at some stage. If you look after something that's a bit rare (like one of 200) and keep it original it can appreciate over time while you still get the enjoyment out of it.

As an example, a friend of mine here told me just last week that he used to have 5 Torana A9X's sitting in his backyard in Adelaide (it's an Aussie muscle car from the 70's), all of which cost him about $1000 each. This one just sold for $220,000 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/9/story.cfm?c_id=9&objectid=10498714

There is a bit of a revival happening in Oz with muscle cars; an early 70's Monaro (another one for you guys to look up) in original condition sold recently for $243,000. If you look at the fact that an SRT-10 sells in Oz for $100,000 plus, you will get my point ($1 AUD = 94US cents). Check this out http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-cars/search.aspx?N=279 4294964582 1426

I'm not saying a CE will make me a millionaire, just that I'd like something original that my son might enjoy one day (he's 8). I live in a part of the world where I don't have to convert it from LHD to RHD, so I can enjoy it in its original state.

I do appreciate everyones input though, and it's nice to see such an active club. With gas prices going up, I hope you guys are not a dying breed.

WOW! those prices are crazy! Whats it cost to convert one of these to a RHD? $130 000+ WOW!
 
Trubuilt, it's sad but true.

SRT-10 trucks were never imported to Australia so they are still considered quite exotic. Even the locally built muscle cars I mentioned were never built in the same numbers as you find chargers/barracudas/mustangs in the USA. I'm still trying to find someone in Oz who can do the LHD to RHD conversion when I take the truck back in a few years, but I don't think it will be cheap.

By the way, I'm not looking for a truck to make money on, I just want one to drive!

Wannaute:D

Read this thread about a RHD conversion that 1 of our members recently did. You might find some good info here:

Well it is a buyers market find what you want, cars never seem to be the best money maker any way. If you want to drive them:D
 
Joemags, I don't really know how much a gallon of gas is, as I never even think about it. Its costs me 110 Dirhams to fill my Durango from empty, and that equates to USD$29. Anyone know how much a Durango holds? I've never taken any notice.

Hi Whitesnake. I haven't been ignoring you, but I think I've found a truck. I should hopefully have some news soon.

Thanks all,

Wannaute
 
Truck Found!

Excellent news! Just secured CE #4 on ebay.

See it here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290237832973&category=31831#lg

It was more than I wanted to pay for a truck, but with only 6,802 miles and in very tidy condition, I'm pretty pleased as it's exactly what I wanted.

Thanks to all who offered their trucks/assistance/support/words of wisdom. I'll post some pics of my new toy when I get it over here in Dubai, but here's one to whet your appetite (as it did mine!).
