Not pretty- but somewhat rare- 2005 DODGE RAM SRT-10 at salvage auction

[GON]

No going to do a title search, I have no interest, but the body reflects an upper Midwest or Northeast prior home, the Arizona salvage title must be from a later chapter in this V10 truck's life. Not a Dodge fan- but have to give Dodge's marketers and engineers kudos for making a "weak hand" into intriguing vehicles.

I wonder what caused it to go to IAA. The hood looks to be aftermarket and there’s some obvious overspray on the front end hit that’s all older stuff. I always thought these were neat trucks but rarely see /saw them.

Neat truck, but I wouldn't touch it either.

These were my go to playing Need for Speed almost 20 years ago. I think you could get an Escalade too.

I remember seeing a bright yellow one with a short bed and the wing on the tailgate back in the day when I was in college. The owner always parked in the same parking garage I did. Neat truck and had a nice sound to it. This was ~2009-2010.

And it runs without even a CEL. I'm kind of glad it's 3000 miles away, because that is REALLY tempting.

The CEL light is probably burned out, from being on for the past 10 years.

Those ones with the wings were daytonas typically oem anyways from that vintage

There are a couple of those running around town here that are clearly used as regular work trucks and appear to have 200k + miles... Some folks clearly don't mind the gas mileage!

I'm almost surprised you haven't had an SRT-10 as a daily driver.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Impractical, and very expensive.

Don't know what I am looking at with the frame? and the over spray all over.... everything? It would not be my first choice. The saying "drove hard, and put away wet" comes to mind here.

Although they're pretty cool to look at.

A quick google search later on the vin, and it seems this truck has been around the block.

Last note look at miles and dates... last sale (Infinitiy Insurance) 11/09/2020 odo was 125,967 miles.. over 2 years later... less than additional 950 miles..

That is the top of the left front frame rail. I can’t tell if it’s a new section and that’s why it’s so rusty or if it’s a poor repair.

Looks like a really bad repair to me.

 

[DuckRyder]

im not sure how it came to be at IAA, but it needs a frame or a frame section at least if available...

Not for the faint of heart...

 

[joekingcorvette]

A buddy of mine had a brand new one like that and it was the same color and everything. Those were very expensive back in the day. I would guess it will bring something very close to the buy it now price.

Good body shop can fix that easily.

 

[01rangerxl]

The more pictures I see, the more I think this truck will wind up in Alabama. I am not buying it, but this is definitely the market for it.

 

[dishdude]

Sounds like the body shop botched the repair and the insurance company ended up with the truck.

You mean where the rail split when they pulled it and they booger welded it, burned trough and decided to spot weld on a thin doubler?

Don’t think so.

No telling what the rest of the rail looks like either…
