Celebrate a unique chapter in Dodge truck history with this 1996
Dodge
Ram 1500 Laramie SLT Indy 500 Special Edition, a
limited-production
pickup finished in striking Brilliant Blue Pearl with
contrasting
white stripes. Built to commemorate the 80th running of the
Indianapolis 500, this special-edition Ram combines distinctive
styling, desirable factory equipment, and classic 1990s truck
character. With just 53,921 miles, a high-quality original
presentation, and documentation that includes its original
window
sticker, this is an appealing find for Dodge enthusiasts and
collectors alike.
Power comes from the 5.9-liter (360 cubic-inch) Magnum V8 paired
with
a heavy-duty four-speed automatic transmission featuring an
external
transmission cooler. Rear-wheel drive, a 3.90-ratio rear axle, and
an
anti-spin differential give this Ram a purposeful mechanical
setup,
while the heavy-duty service group adds a 136-amp alternator
and
enhanced engine cooling. A sport-tuned exhaust system with chrome
tips
completes the package, adding to the truck's distinctive
character.
The Indy 500 Special Edition package gives this Ram a look that
stands
apart from an ordinary pickup. Body-color front and rear bumpers,
a
matching grille, dual wide white center stripes, and 17-inch
cast
aluminum wheels create a cohesive, unmistakable appearance. The
Brilliant Blue Pearl finish pairs beautifully with the white
accents,
delivering the kind of period-correct styling that makes this
limited-production truck especially memorable.
Inside, the cabin features Quartz premium cloth upholstery and
a
comfortable 40/20/40 front bench seat as part of the Laramie
premium
equipment. The well-appointed interior includes air
conditioning,
power windows and locks, tilt steering, cruise control, a
tachometer,
and an overhead console. A six-way power driver's seat, power
exterior
mirrors, sliding rear window with solar glass, and AM/FM CD
Infinity
premium sound system add further convenience. Modular
behind-seat
storage and dealer-installed Mopar running boards round out the
equipment.
This Ram has had three owners since new, and CARFAX reports no
accidents. It has been well maintained and treated as a
collector
vehicle, retaining the appeal of a high-quality original example.
It
runs and drives great, making it an enjoyable choice for
weekend
cruises, local shows, or adding a distinctive
limited-production
pickup to a collection.
Documentation accompanying the truck includes the original
window
sticker, original new-car delivery checklist, a reconciliation
sheet
for the dealer-installed running boards, and some service
records.
These materials add valuable context to the truck's history and
enhance its appeal to enthusiasts who appreciate
well-preserved,
documented examples.
With only 2,802 examples built, the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 Indy
500
Special Edition offers a compelling combination of rarity,
classic
truck styling, desirable equipment, and collector appeal.
Whether
you're a longtime Mopar enthusiast or looking for a distinctive
pickup
from the 1990s, this special-edition Ram deserves a closer
look.
