i would....maybe you can race a vette or ricer or sumthin along the way... anybody that challenges you...

seriously, 4800 for a rare truck that sounds like its in great shape...better than the deal i got... 3600 for my Road Runner that was pretty much trashed...ran good though. interior was real bad.

what could it hurt? besides gas and maybe the wallet depending how much gas costs... i would go for it.

Me, too. I never heard of a late model Express. Is there any documentation to show that it isn't something just screwed together by the owner??

I thought I was pretty well up on Dakotas!

Definately go for it man! my grandpa is a Used car dealer and Had a couple from Ohio trade him the 92 Lil' Red Dakota for 80's K-car limo. They were sent from Chrysler to a Custom Truck Shop where they converted (Stacks, Fiberglass stepside bed,Decals)
They did'nt make very many and they all had 318's Very sweet and rare truck my grandpa sold the one he had for 5 grand and it had 120 thou on it! GRAB IT QUICK!

considering i bought my car for $3,600 with crappy interior, burned up tranny, water in the left front tires, chevy wheels, thin tires, cancerous spots, exterior was ALL yellow, and what was left of the interior was blue....

yeah, i'd say thats a hell of a deal!
