Description
Lot #429 - This 1959 Dodge town wagon is a highly modified truck nicknamed, "Double Ugly," and was featured in Street Trucks Magazine starting in November 2000 until 2003. The truck was shown being restored through the different processes; from frame and body to electrical and gauges. Editor Steve Stillwell orchestrated the project and the truck was purchased by William "Bill" Lee, who also assisted in the build. It is powered by a new 440/470hp 8-cylinder ATK engine mated to a high-performance 727 Art Car TorqueFlite automatic transmission. It features a Mustang II independent front suspension, 4-bar 9" narrowed rear suspension with 3:25 posi-traction, Baer brakes, Air Lift airbag system, custom air cleaner, Griffen radiator, custom headers, exhaust and large U-joints. The custom-painted exterior features custom pinstriping, a drop bumper and Edelbrock aluminum heads, intake and carburetor. The interior is equipped with a flamed dash, overhead interior panels, a Mercedes sunroof, power windows, 800-watt stereo and a middle console. This Dodge rides on 19" front and 20" rear Boyd wheels.
