There's several things wrong with that ad:

(1) HP Rating is wrong - Even with the mods included
(2) JBA does NOT make Mopar Headers (and they're not the same thing)
(3) There were more than 5000 R/T's built in 1999
(4) The 6700lb Payload is actually 2000lbs
(5) 3.55's NEVER came in a R/T - They were 3.92

Here's the Carfax report:

The Carfax database contains a total of 5 vehicle history records on
this 1999 Dodge Dakota (1B7GL26Z3XS215023):

Subject: DML: since when did Dodge release a 290 hp R/T

I was searching ebay and came accross this truck and the guy listed the
standard features of the truck as a 290 hp 5.9 360 and also said that
Only 5,000 R/Ts will be built in 1999. Engine options include two V8s,
including a 290-hp Magnum version. Here is the link
