One of those k car pickup things just appeared at a local lot. Looks to be something special, based on the fender scoops and cowl induction style hood that looks factory issue. The topper is probably not factory installed..
It is parked between a pair of Subaru SVX'S, and there are a few old VW Bugs inside the building..
I don't know what the deal is with this place: no one is ever there and the only contact info is a Dropbox on the front of the building with a note that says to leave your contact info and they will get back to you..

Two SVX and a Rampage? Somebody is collecting oddball cars.
Definitely warrants further investigation.
Scoops were factory for the Rampage 2.2 and Charger 2.2 in 83
Standard Dodge Charger from doors forward (the door glass is different).
Bed and rear axles are rated from the factory for 1000lbs. Which is slightly more than the El Camino of the time.
Height based rear brake bias solution fails early on and if it works, makes lowering the rear a bit of a pain. Bleeding the rear brakes requires weight on the rear axle.
Really enjoyed mine and I miss it from time to time. If you know anything about the Shelby Charger/Dodge Omni, then you know that most of the performance parts can be swapped over and the little trucklettes tend to move quite nicely.
I believe you've stumbled across the Bad Car Illuminati.
You need to bring something freaky enough to lure them out of the building and then do a brake stand until they notice.
Also please get them to sell me the SVXes.

Is this place owned by a GRM board member?
Dunno.. it's called Auto Choice and it's in Howard Lake, MN 55349.. my grandpa was the local mechanic in that building from the end of WW2 until he retired in the early 80's, but I have no idea who owns or rents it now..
