350 HP 318 Build

Hey Dan
I don't know what part of mo you are in but we recently found ourselves needing a new to us daily, and after hunting locally for a while for what the wife wanted (another Durango like she's had for the past 10+ years) we found the one we ended up with in Hazelwood just NW of St Louis very clean, though we did have to drive 4 hours away to find it and our original one was "this nice" 10 years ago and we paid $2200. The day before this past veterans Day we had to cough up $3500 for the same thing........ I wasn't happy about that with them being 10 years older than they were then, but I wasn't setting for a rust bucket. The 01 wasn't then and still isn't. The new one is an 03, the original one is a 01, but they're out there. I'm sure there's a nice a body not far from there available for the same price.
Just like when we bought the 01 this one needs tires, which are more than double what they were then/ and while I had to rebuild the front end on that one 10 years ago, this one has been done already by the PO/ but does have a cracked windshield I have to change. You're not gonna find one that's been kept in a bubble since it was new anymore....
