When's the last time you saw a Dodge Rampage, let alone one in such clean condition? I honestly can't remember, which is why this 1982 example that's listed for sale outside Atlanta is such a treat. It's yours for just $5500.

One reason you don't see Rampages often is because Dodge didn't make that many of them. In its 1982-1984 production run, just 37,401 Rampages were built, according to figures from Allpar. Rarer still is the one-year-only Plymouth Scamp, of which just 3564 were built for 1983.

The Rampage was based on the front-wheel-drive Dodge Omni and came equipped with a 2.2-liter four-cylinder that made 84 horsepower when new. This particular Rampage benefits from a new Weber carburetor and a four-speed manual transmission. It's only been driven 59,000 miles from new and the interior is completely original, even down to the radio.

This Rampage is in need of an A/C recharge, and the seller notes that it suffers from a shaky speedometer needle.

You could enjoy this weirdo trucklet as-is, but we think there's quite a lot of potential here. As Bring a Trailer notes, you could swap the stock powerplant for the 175-hp motor from the Shelby GLHS and have yourself a party. Considering the Rampage weighs a little over 2200 pounds, you could have a cone-chasing autocrosser pickup truck on your hands.

Either way, someone please buy this oddball and enjoy the hell out of it.
