Looks to be in really nice shape.

As reflected in $11,995 asking price ::)

I think that dodge and the especially the Plymouth Trailduster are going up in price due to their rarity collector value. You can get Fords, GMCs, Chevys, Internationals, Jeeps -- etc all day long, but the Chrysler Corp 4x4s are hard to come by.

I think you'll find them in the box with the polyester leisure suits.

LOL -- I resemble that remark :))

A time when "cool" was questionable, and SNL was actually funny ....

After the original cast was gone it lost a lot. I have seen bits and pieces now and again of the odd episode but just not the same.
