Yep, if you want an older Durango R/T that's rust free...you're heading to AZ to get it.  Nothing rust free in our neck of the woods anymore.

Worth the trip. Nice truck, a few dings and little things but for a truck thats 16 years old and not a spot of rust from top to bottom. Also a nice other project that might be worth the trip...”Jeff”

Made it to the “405” if any of you know about” street outlaws”  if not.. Oklahoma City  a couple miles north. Every thing going good trailer pulls nice and the bearings are staying cool.
