Unusual, but looks really cool.

Hideous and a tragic waste of a good Dodge. He has one zero too many in his price too.

I saw this truck at tower park last year. I'm sorry but it is cool (to me). Saved an otherwise hacked up command car and repurposed it instead of parting or scrapping.

Agreed. I would like to see someone put this back together. If I had the cash.....maybe. But someone out there is up for the challenge surely.

No they do not sell to ordinary collectors; they wait for a guy with lots of money and no sense of history.
If he did save an already butchered WC, then ok, but if he took a good one and did that to it, well I guess it is his to do what he wants to it. As they say. Still makes me retch to even look at it.

Upon further reflection and a few less beers, It would have to be in the 2 to 3 range to make it worth while. Can you even find a engine for these today?

The Dodge flathead six is easier to find than that Nissan diesel that is in it now.
