1971 Dodge Scat Pack magazine insert



Dodge 1971 magazine insert





1970 magazine insert for Dodge




This is so wrong

If naming new four doors, after old two doors

If naming new brick shaped cars after old muscle cars that were aerodynamic

If combining options that were never offered together -the R/T and the Daytona.... if any of this made a bit of sense, than why complicate matters by offering the same name Daytona, as a truck?

What greedy pig has to recycle the GTX and the Super Bee onto a truck?

What is rare? A 426 max wedge in a Dodge truck as a factory install

The 426 Wedge was part of the $1300 High Performance Package and could be ordered on its own from the separate and distinct $235 Custom Sports Special trim package.

The HP Package was only “officially” offered in 1964 and 1965 on D100 and D200 LWB trucks. The Custom Sports Special trim package was offered from 1964 thru 1967 and could be had on D or W 100, 200 Sweptline, Utiline or chassis cab in LWB or SWB trucks.

Dodge management only authorized 50 trucks could be built with the 426 Street Wedge High Performance Package — according to former Dodge truck engineer Bruce Thomas of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, who said that far fewer than 50 examples were actually produced. Currently the registry recognizes 31 trucks with these packages or combinations of them.
For a great story about them, and a family restoration: http://www.cssregistry.com/css/stevebell.html

I wouldn't drive, build, design, or own them, but I give them credit for being stunningly impressive

Some new trend? Maybe, they are striking and memorable for those headlights

Ever seen a woody Fire Truck? I hadn't until Wavecrest. Here's a Dodge Powerwagon
















The above is good wallpaper.


the Swamp Rat edition of the Dodge Ram, well, maybe it was called the Don Garlits special edition, but I couldn't find anything on the net about it


if anyone knows anything more about these, I'd like to know, there is nothing on the internet about it. But it's a 1995 special edition.

This one is owned by an 18 year old guy! I bet it's the coolest car in his high school class
