In a world flooded by custom Chevrolet and Ford trucks, seeing something like this here Dodge truck is not unlike taking a breath of fresh air. And what’s even more exciting is that it can be had.
The truck is part of the D/W series Dodge started making back in the 1960s. More to the point, it’s a D-200 crew cab, extensively modified and turned into something that looks not unlike a limousine, both in terms of luxury and size.
Officially dubbed 1967 Dodge D-200 Double Wide, the project uses an all-steel body in two-tone Pearl Blue and Satin Bronze paint, slapped on top of a Roadster Shop chassis that rocks a RideTech coilover suspension and Wilwood disc brakes on all four corners.
Riding close to the ground, the truck treats its occupants with a most exquisite interior. Leather is abundantly used on the Intrepid seats fitted front and rear and on the door panels. In front of the Billet Specialties steering wheel sits a cluster of Dakota Digital gauges, and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo system is on deck for all the music needs.
Pop the hood, and a shiny engine reveals itself. It’s a 413-ci (6.8-liter) in V8 configuration and topped by dual 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetors. The engine works by means of a 3-speed automatic transmission and breathes out its nasty emissions through a Flowmaster exhaust system.
The powerplant sends its power to the ground through 20-inch Boze wheels wrapped in Continental tires. We are not being told the mileage on the powerplant, but the next time those wheels spin will be under new ownership.
The 1967 Dodge D-200 Double Wide is listed for sale as part of the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, next month, and it is going with no reserve. That means whoever offers the most gets it, no matter the price.
