Manchester, New Hampshire, United States
|
This rare example truck was frame off restored in 2003. Found on a farm in Walton NY, where it was used for farm duties since the late 50s. Advertised "For Sale" in a local paper for $700.00 on July 14th, 2001, a local retired bank executive purchased it and decided this would be his project to restore it back to its original state. Completely photo documented in 2 albums from start to finish. After he and some helpers pushed it onto the trailer, the process began. Originally Medium Blue, the paint was in poor condition, however the body was overall solid with one small hole in the floor by the gas pedal . Over the next 2 years, the truck was dismantled and a complete frame off restoration took place. Every piece was refurbished or replaced. The orig. engine, a 241 V8 Power Dome over head valve engine was the first year V8 and wasn't common to see in a pickup. 1/2 ton models were called "B" series, the first letter designated on the Dodge truck line up. The engine has all the factory components, heads, intake, carb, dist., radiator, exhaust manifold were also refurbished. The 3 spd. trans. was also inspected during the process, new U-joints, new brake system, brake lines, hoses, brake linings, wheel cylinders, e-brake cables, rebuilt new master cylinder, springs, front end components etc. the frame was complete sand blasted and refinished in Satin blk. The body was completely stripped to the bare metal and refinished in single stage enamel. Most of these trucks had a 3 piece back window, yet, this model was quite rare having a one piece back window. Complete new window rubbers, new weather strip kit, factory heater was also refinished and is in working condition. The original wood bed was in need of replacing Red oak was milled off Walton Mt. and all new stainless hardware was used to secure the stainless slats to the bed. Several coats of polyurethane was applied to seal the oak bed. Red oxide primer was used on the cab, doors and fenders and floor before the truck got painted. The original gas tank was removed from behind the seat and reconditioned. Every nut, bolt and screw was replaced or refurbished. The finished product is a 1955 Dodge, Canyon Coral/Antique White, two tone paint. Black painted steel orig. style bumpers, orig. blk. steel running boards, color keyed antique white center grille, restored chrome, Dodge V8 center hood emblem, dual opening hood, cowl vent, single side view mirror, orig. steel style wheels with orig. center caps, side mounted tire.

In the interest of disclosure I have included photos of the the "repaired" original running boards and the bottom of the tailgate that did not get the same attention to detail as the rest of the loving restoration. this truck draws more cameras, thumbs up and overall attention then most high dollar muscle cars.

Dodge could enter Peugeot's Le Mans-bound 9x8 hypercar in IMSA races
Wed, Jul 21 2021Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group merged under the Stellantis umbrella in early 2021 to achieve economies of scale, and this benefit could surprisingly extend to racing. Executives are debating whether to give Dodge its own version of Peugeot's recently-unveiled 9x8 hypercar to race in America, according to a recent report. "While we only heard [the new rules] confirmed a week ago, it has certainly led to some very open discussion, not only about whether Peugeot might add races in the United States, but also about whether the spine of this car might have opportunities with other brands in the Stellantis Group. There are no conclusions yet, but there are now open discussions," affirmed Jean-Marc Finot, the Senior Vice President of Stellantis, in an interview with Racer. His comments refer to an agreement signed in July 2021 by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). They chose to align their technical regulations to let manufacturers compete in different events on both sides of the pond without going through the resource-consuming process of developing a specific car for each series. As of writing, the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) and Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) categories fall under the newly-announced common set of rules. On the surface, this means Peugeot could enter its 9X8 (pictured) in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as soon as the 2023 season. While this is seemingly under consideration, Peugeot has little to gain from winning a major race in the United States. It hasn't sold cars here since 1991, and its long-mooted comeback was canned after PSA merged with FCA. Giving a variant of the 9X8 to Dodge is a more credible possibility, according to Racer. If not Dodge, then who else? Chrysler hasn't been linked to racing or performance for decades. Jeep is no stranger to performance vehicles, but IMSA would be pushing it. Ram is Ram, while Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati are rooted in Europe. The rest of the Stellantis brands (like Opel, Lancia, and Citroen) are not distributed in America. Nothing is official, and the publication stressed it's unclear whether Dodge will commit part- or full-time to the series (assuming the program receives the green light). Finot underlined the parallel car would use the 9X8's "spine," so don't expect to see a Peugeot hypercar with a Dodge emblem driving flat-out on the Sebring International Raceway.
Travis Pastrana signs with Dodge for another year, brings partner Bryce Menzies [w/video]
Sun, 14 Apr 2013Dodge and SRT Motorsports announced that the Dodge Dart will be returning for its sophomore season of the Global Rallycross Championship with a two-car team fielded by Pastrana Racing. Travis Pastrana drove his GRC Dart to victory lane in the fourth race of the car's inaugural season, and his race team is looking for even more success with the addition of off-road racer Bryce Menzies behind the wheel of the second car.
The 2013 GRC season kicks off on April 21 in Brazil with plenty of dirt-spewing, ramp-jumping action. Scroll down for a video from the cars' main sponsor, Red Bull, and a press release from Chrysler.
Dodge Viper ACR reportedly green lit [w/video]
Fri, Feb 6 2015The Dodge Viper might be getting a little more venomous in the near future thanks to a return of the performance-honed ACR trim. According to an anonymous source leaking the info to Allpar, the version would go into production in July as a 2016 model year vehicle. FCA US showed a concept for a future ACR (pictured above) at the 2014 SEMA Show that sported carbon fiber parts for the front splitter and dive planes, plus a picnic-table-sized rear wing. The body also received ducts at the rear to shoot cool air to the differential. A set of 15.4-inch carbon-ceramic brake rotors also brought things to a halt in a hurry. The company promised all the aero pieces were sculpted in the wind tunnel to give the coupe even more downforce. To shed weight, engineers chucked the radio, speakers, carpet and sound deadening out of the interior, and they replaced many bits with even more carbon fiber. All of the tweaks are necessary because the ACR moniker carries serious cachet for the Viper at the track, especially at the Nurburgring. One reportedly did a 7:22 lap around the 'Ring in 2008, and another improved that further to 7:12 in 2011. Autoblog reached out to FCA US for comment about the possibility for the hotter Viper, but the company wasn't willing to comment about any possible, future projects. Related Video:
