Used Car of the Day: 1984 Dodge Rampage

by Tim Healey

Published: November 7th, 2024

To be completely up front, this one is a non-running project car. But it's an intriguing one.

It's a make and model we don't see often here -- a 1984 Dodge Rampage 2.2T.

This one doesn't run -- the 2.2 needs a complete rebuild. It appears that the suspension needs to be done, too. You can also get a 2.5-liter engine thrown into the deal.

There are some new pieces such as the clutch, brakes, tires, ball joints, struts, and more.

There's more over at the listing. This one's in Farmington, New Mexico and I don't have a mileage for you. There's no asking pricing -- you'll need to make the seller an offer.

Tim Healey

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.

That 2.2 4-pot powered just about every Stellantis car in the early 1980s.

AZFelix A calendar search shows Saturday May 14th could have recently been in 2005, 2011, 2016, and 2022. The phone number now shows for Coys Wheel in Kaysville, UT.
ToolGuy Tim said climate change is real, so I don't think this will ever apply to me.
Arthur Dailey Always liked these. One of Nissan's last 'extra base hit' vehicles? Can't remember ever seeing a shifter worn as much as the one on this vehicle.
Arthur Dailey Agree with above that it is amazing how the seat seems to be in such good condition. Wonder if it is a replacement? The phot of the GM horizontal 'clacking' speedo brings back lots of memories. After a certain amount of wear and tear, at low speeds the needle would 'clack' back and forth. Seems that the odometer has probably been around twice based on the location of the digit on the far left. Personally I am not a big fan of the GM 305 engine, as it seemed to be a compromise between durability and performance and therefore wasn't 'great' at either.
