Hell yeh, Dodge Short bed Fleet side/Swept side D100 Custom
(? should be, didn't make any short bed D200) in 1971

damn it looks pretty solid too, probably kept inside most it's life too

out here that is worth $12.5k any/everyday & 2 times on Sundays
is it really only 9,999 miles ?
even with an auto

if it was 1500-2800 miles closer
I assume it's in Fla. at the Cape (or maybe Houton Tx ?)
I'd look at it, I have no idea where it is listed

It's still for sale after 2 months on Facebook

Kentucky, that's still way too far...
adding a bunch more to the price, shipping & going out there to inspect it 1st

still sounds great

I wish I could find something like that nearer here
I'd do my 'Dude Tribute' with one

NASA? Were they planning on taking it to the Moon?

Blue Ghost has made a soft landing on the Moon today (March 2, 2025) as the first commercial vehicle to do so.

Approaching landing...

This is the craft's shadow as it sits on the Moon today.

NASA’s X-59’s Diamonds are Forever Powerful​

A closer view of the powerful afterburner exhaust coming from the tail of NASA’s X-59 supersonic technology demonstrator, it’s characteristic Mach diamonds – also known as shock diamonds – visible in the superhot plume. The aircraft’s single jet engine was tested at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale, California. The test demonstrated the engine’s ability to generate the thrust required for supersonic flight, advancing NASA’s Quesst mission.

NASA's X-59's Diamonds are Forever Powerful - NASA

The GE F414 engine in that NASA X-59 has been around for thirty years, based on the older F404 from the 1970s, so I wonder how much testing Lockheed had to do? They already know that the engine will go supersonic in the Hornet, and the Saab Gripen which uses a single Volvo built version of that engine.

But those shock diamonds always make for a great photo.
