Future Collectible?

Here’s a shot of my 2003 SRT4. This car has the Mopar Stage II with Turbo Toys. It also has the Borla® Cat-BackTM exhaust. I added the graphics on the side and the Dodge logo on the front lip of the car. The car is always kept in the garage and has less than 7,000 miles on it. Maybe it will show up at Barrett-Jackson in 20 years!

Double Dodge

Here are some photos of my 1995 Viper and 2005 Magnum. The Viper has a 600+ horsepower motor and the Magnum has a custom paint job. The Magnum is driven every day. The paint work was done by LD Auto Body here in Franklin.

No Trailer Queen

I thought you’d like to see my matching Dodges. The truck is a 2003 Dodge Ram with a Cummins H.O. that was put together for the Mopar Nationals. The car is a 1971 Demon 440+6 with a four-speed. Both feature Mopar flames on the side. I recently broke the clutch in the car so it’s definitely not a trailer queen.

Rambunctious and Fearless

I thought you might be interested in seeing the two Mopars we built here at Cornhusker Auto in Norfolk, Neb. We are a full service Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge dealer. The Ram is a 2004 with a charging Ram airbrushed on the side. It also has candy apple red glowing 3D “eyes.” The Jeep Wrangler is a 1998 and features 14 TV screens, a No Fear paint job and PlayStation® 3. All the work was done by our own Accessories Department.

The Beast

Check this car out. It’s a Polara called “The Beast.” It was fully restored (frame off) two years ago, which included new chrome, molding, glass and interior. The 440 was replaced with an Indy Head Racing 528 HEMI that makes 680 horsepower. It also has a full manual body racing torqueflite tranny and 4:10 gears in the 8 3/4" rear end with a four-link suspension. By moving the spring shackles inboard, we were able to fit 31 x 16.5 x 15 tires under it without tubbing. A straight axle from a Dodge 100 van was installed. The way the front end is set up, it drives and rides pretty good for a Gasser. The body was from the upper desert and was rust-free, so it’s straight as can be and is painted with DuPont Hot Hues Blazing Copper paint. The car has about 250 miles on it so far.

Best of Both Worlds

I have loved my Dodge Ram Mega Cab for eight months now and just put up with the short bed. That is until earlier this year when I tried to put my Polaris Ranger in the bed and tow my camper trailer at the same time. No can do. That’s when I decided it was time to make the ultimate truck: A Dodge Long bed Mega Cab. We love the huge cab and fill it with car seats and luggage and still have room for the kids. But we now have the bed to match. The 5.9L Cummins with Bull Dog downloader, five-inch exhaust and cold air intake makes it a dream to pull with.
