This 37 Dodge Pickup … was purchased from a Discovery Channel Celebrity who lives in Louisiana … who … purchased it several years ago from a Baton Rouge, Louisiana Hot Rod Collector. Well … I love to trace the history of our cars … and after a extensive search I located the Collector (who is now retired) and he informed me that he had purchased it along with 5 other “High Dollar” cars from a collector who was a Longview, Texas business man that operated a Hot Rod Restoration Shop at one of his companies … and … only worked on the cars in his collection. He remembered the name … but … that was all he could share with me.
So … again I went to work and found the Texas businessman who is now 79 years old, retired and a wonderful gentleman. We talked for a long time and I learned that he … did not … built the car but, purchased it from the original builder … and … had done several minor upgrades.
And … today the original builder (A wonderful 72 year old gentleman from Arkansas) called me … and … the pertinent build points are:
1. He explained … that when he built the 37 Dodge, he wanted a Luxury / Reliable / Cruiser with a “Real” 426 HEMI, 727 Automatic with the optional Overdrive tail section, Vintage A/C, Power Brakes and Power Steering. He also stated that he completed the project in 2009.
2. He further shared … that it actually sits on an upgraded 1999 Dodge Dakota Chassis.
3. He also explained … that he purchased two Dodge pickups and split both longwise … then … reassembled them so that the final pickup was 4” wider than the original. Additionally, he elongated the cab by 4” … plus … extended the hood and motor compartment by an additional 4” (to accommodate the 426 HEMI). He also stated that is was a “All Steel” build except for a small amount of fiberglass under the rear bed area.
4. He additionally stated … that the 426 HEMI was a New Crate Engine … and … that he had added the Hilborn 8 Stack Electronic Fuel Injection system … and … that the 727 Dodge Transmission was also a New Crate Transmission with the optional Overdrive tail section.
Finally … he stated that he would love to know who purchases the car … and authorized us to share his contact information (after the sale) with the new owner.
