For sale is a stunning and powerful 1948 Dodge Business Coupe that has undergone an extensive frame-off restoration, making it a standout classic with modern performance upgrades. This lifetime California Dodge was purchased in 2021 and has since been meticulously restored with no expense spared, ensuring both reliability and a head-turning presence on the road.
The frame has been completely powder-coated for durability and longevity, and a 9-inch Ford rear end with new bearings and a spool has been installed for optimal performance. Powering this beast is a healthy 1971 Dodge 440 powerplant that delivers exceptional torque and power. A brand-new aluminum radiator keeps the engine running cool even under demanding conditions. The 727 Torqueflite transmission was fully rebuilt approximately four years ago and shifts smoothly.
This Dodge has been treated to nearly all new nuts and bolts during its restoration, ensuring that everything is tight and secure. Some custom bodywork has been done on the front, enhancing its sleek and aggressive look while maintaining its classic appeal. The interior features front seats sourced from a Honda for improved comfort and support, while the jump seat, sourced from a Mitsubishi, provides extra seating for the grandkids or passengers.
The dashboard has been customized with all-new gauges, ensuring that all critical information is easily accessible. The floor pans have been replaced all the way to the trunk, providing a solid foundation with no hidden surprises. Additionally, the battery has been relocated to the trunk alongside a fuel cell for better weight distribution and a cleaner engine bay.
All lights and gauges are fully functional, so you can hit the road with confidence. With $35,000 invested into this build, it is priced to sell quickly, offering incredible value for a classic car enthusiast looking for a well-built and unique street machine. This Dodge Business Coupe runs and drives great, delivering loads of torque and excitement behind the wheel.
